  This may not be what OP is into, but there’s an idea about Roswell that matches what they’re saying. Namely that America after the UFO crash was suddenly sitting on a bunch of new technology to reverse engineer.

  They did so!.. And that explains America’s technical innovations since the 1950s.

  So the Government set up a plan to slowly figure out and release all this tech (that’s a big change), and OP might be seeing AI as one of the final pieces.

  Of course in actual fact you can traces the gradualness behind most technology, and look at the history of science to see nothing just popped into existence.

  Part of the tech boom in the 1950s was from advances due to funding and science being concentrated and expanded (with the power of government funding) during the war years.

  …and a bunch of the past 70 years innovations didn’t even cone from America. So really the Roswell-Tech-Boom theory falls apart. But of course like all conspiracy theories you can just recalibrate and retrofit it:

  • Alien tech was given to other countries to release
  • Universities were told to make fake histories to show gradual development.
  • The Government only pretends to be incompetent to hide the great responsibility ut received in the 1950s.

  Yeah yeah, the singularity…

  …which is why modern mass produced houses (with paper thin flammable walls) are so much sturdier than older well built houses?

  It’s why modern cars with subscription models for seat warmers and extra acceleration are preferable to older cars that just had seat warmers and top acceleration already built in…

  …and why a radio play written by AI is 1000 times better than a radio play written by real people, right?

  Because the singularity is making everything better?

  Have you considered that all that media you’ve been consuming is premised on selling you on ideas and purchases? On technologies that aren’t necessarily better, but keep their sponsors happy?

  Don’t get me wrong. AI when correctly trained can be useful. But I don’t think it’s the cure all people make it out to be, and I don’t think we’re anywhere near a singularity.

  Here’s a video debunking a lot of the AI stuff the media claims:

  www.youtube.com/watch?v=claxN4oxDuY

  See… That’s a person who actually knows how to research. Where as just watching things isn’t really research. To properly research things you need media literacy and meta studies, and to understand the fundamentals of how things work… And to run practices and experiments on how things play out IRL.

  Ultimately human labour (both mental and physical) drives the world 99.9% of the time, and AI hasn’t alleviated that problem except in the most innane areas (real estate agent copy writing and advertising copy writing).

  Even programmers admit that when they use AI it’s not their best work, with many admitting it writes poor quality code.

  I myself hooked some models up to Blender to allow it to create 3D scenes from prompts and found it could barely place spheres and cubes to mimic sculpting.

  None of this technology is bright, or the be all and end all (extra training actually has declining returns) - so far and for the immediate future it’s EMPTY HYPE, and human art, science, and WORK HOURS are still increadibly intense, and increadibly necessary.

  Don’t count your chickens before they hatch… You may well have just picked up a bunch of rocks because the media told you they’d be chickens soon enough.

  I mean, obviously the big movements you’re talking about are the return of airship travel, urine drinking as a health tonic, and the further acceptance of gay and queer practices amongst black men.

  In my view people who aren’t waking up to this need to do the research! Look at the stats, you know, less mouth bacteria ALONE is a great reason (your teeth will thank you in old age)… And really, buy a top hat and tails (no bottoms required).

  Anyone who doesn’t know is already behind the curve and needs to WAKE THE FUCK UP INSIDE.

  Can’t wake up.

  WAKE ME UP INSIDE…

  History is hilarious.

  Did you think he was still an icon?

  Bitch no…

  Why so serious?

  Bitch…

  Now picture all those people in MAGA hats still supporting Trump’s police violence campaigns in 2035 when Trump is still in office, and all the jokes are about elections and trying to get letters to places without them being read.

  In the proposed futurist model of ubermensch via technology, technology would fix technology.

  So we’d have self-reproducing 3D technology-printers, that would self repair.

  Normally I wouldn’t say that kind of thing, but this time it’s what I meant as the theological aims of a more tech, less social “society”. It’s the argument I was laying out.

  So it was more: with enough technology every man is a sentient super powerful magical island …with no friends, no community, and no identity beyond immediate existence.

  Thanks, and for once it’s a relief… The weird dad smoking with little girls ass on display just has very sus vibes. Makes more sense that it would be a pornified AIs impression of a 1950s ad, than an actual 1950s ad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was a lot of fun. And you could always sneak in booze⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Each epoch of technology democratizes elements of society whilst also making those elements less social, less community oriented.

  Plays were a thing, then eventually cinema and drive throughs, then TV, and now watching on your device.

  Each time there’d be less interaction with people to get the supposed “result” service delivery.

  This goes not just for media and cinema, but for ALL technology camp fire -> shared candle/gas lamp -> electric lighting.

  Just for street lights in the age of lamp oil you had not only all the industry to supply wicks and oil, but also every day jobs like lamplighters and Link-boys..

  The desire seems to be singular ubermensch completely isolated travelling the galaxy with all the technological capabilities of society, but no longer needing society. The blessing of technology as our only curse.

  The fact this has gone on for years now, is proof that no one in government listens to the majority, and our democracy is broken. We need a mamdani. We need the PHON voters to realize Pauline is more of the same (hence being in hed with Gina), and that they would see a better society under greens and socialits

  The idea of being perfectly ethical or finding companies that are, is futile. But I was just talking about avoiding the big techno-fascist billionaire linked ones (there’s really not that many of them).

  We should start from there. Start with the premise that there are more ethical companies, and less ethical companies - rather than looking for “ethical consumption under Capitalism”… If you start off with such an ideal goal and no one is going to bother.

  Can we all just avoid the big shitty ones.
