Is it just impossible for a bunch of White nerds to get together and build an operating system for PC’s that works properly
Linux. Lots of autistic nerds making OS distros.
and is user friendly?
Autistic nerds are not very good at that part, and the people who are usually charge money for their skills.
Because that momentum would have actual resistance? They're just shooting goals on an empty net. We don't even have anyone on the field. If pushing back against insanity implies they're correct, then I guess we should all line up against the wall now.
'Problematic' too. Is it difficult? No, it's problematic. Is it inconvenient? No, it's problematic. Is it controversial? No, it's problematic.
They're trying to conflate a dozen different words with different meanings so you never quite know what they're saying.
What an utterly bizarre guardrail. I asked it for the literal translation from Greek in the Codex Sinaiticus and it spat it out just fine.
Every soul
to the higher authorities
let it be ordered/arranged under;
for authority does not exist
except under God;
and the ones that exist
have been arranged under God.
So then, the one opposing
the authority
has taken a stand against
the arrangement of God;
and the ones who have stood against it
will receive judgment for themselves.
Blah blah blah, 30 paragraphs of ChatGPT slop later it gets to the point:
A 1st-century reader could very plausibly understand this as:
- Maintain social order
- Don’t be reflexively oppositional
- Recognize authority as a structural reality
- Don’t confuse chaos with righteousness
- And don’t martyr yourself unnecessarily
Since nobody seems to have an answer, I asked everyone's favourite chatbot. Excerpt:
- Corporations would actively suppress their own stock price
If higher valuation = higher tax burden, then:
CEOs are now financially incentivized to:
- Guide earnings conservatively
- Downplay future growth
- Delay good news
- Reduce investor hype
- PR and IR departments would pivot from “storytelling” to “expectation dampening”
You’d likely see:
- Intentional opacity
- Fewer rosy forecasts
- Less disclosure about long-term upside
In other words: truth becomes taxable.
- The market would bifurcate into “tax-visible” and “tax-hidden” firms
Expect rapid migration toward structures that reduce taxable market cap:
- Going private
- Dual-class shares with limited float
- Off-exchange trading
- Tokenized ownership
- Conglomerates broken into legally separate shells
- Heavy use of subsidiaries and spin-offs
Public markets would shrink or become a niche for firms that want visibility.
Private equity would explode.
Blah blah blah corporations actively sabotage themselves/go private and pay out their shareholders more.
I decided to try this experiment myself with chatgpt.
Test 1 (control): Same prompt. Basically got the same thing as A. Very "no age is too early!" energy.
Test 2: Swapped African -> Jewish. Advice was very "take it slow".
"it’s important to know that enjoying dolls or dresses by itself does not indicate that a child is trans."
Test 3: Swapped all the pronouns and sex, as well as the toys. This was even more "your child is probably not trans" than test 2.
Test 4: Basically test 2 + 3. The result was even more anti-trans.
"Kids of all genders gravitate toward a wide range of toys and activities."
This shouldn't be surprising to anyone here (it isn't to me) but it's pretty obvious where the biases are.
Honestly, I think it could happen. Income tax only taxes people who make income, of which there are many who don't.
Besides, who's to say someone won't come along after it passes and just revokes it? Maybe even include some more sales taxes if industry comes back to dodge tariffs and you can double or triple your theft!
Thanks. That pocket at ~53 seconds is pretty suspect too.
