“We’re going to need the help of robots and other forms of, uhhh, I guess you could say employment,” he said, shrugging. “We’re going to be employing a lot of artificial things.”

      Then we’d have President Vance and first Mistress Kirk. This cancer is going to take a while to cut out if it doesn’t outright kill us.

        Cult leaders need charisma and couchfucker ain’t got it. He might end out pres in that hypothetical but he wouldn’t have the implied maga threat behind him Trump does so I think he’d get a lot less of the agenda pushed.

          Vance doesn’t need Trump’s cult, he doesn’t need to win any elections. He’s the chosen figurehead for the Catholic neo-feudalists that are using Trump to take over, and is already in place to succeed.

      Trump 1.0 he was actually there still, easily manipulated but still there. Now he’s just a puppet with dementia.

        Nah, 1.0 was only better because he spent the whole time figuring out wtf to do. He didn’t even know he had to hire his own cabinet. 2.0 is the result of those four years of realizing the power and protection of the position, and another four of teams of knowledgeable people working hard to make sure this term would be the last they’d ever need.

          It’s less that he personally learned anything and more that the Heritage Foundation did, he’s only following their playbook.

    Nobody in the AI industry, tech, or government cares. He says all the buzzwords and gives them all what they want. What he says is basically irrelevant at this point. Until something actually happens we’re all gonna read about some sort of “gotcha” moment every day as if it makes a difference so we can have our rage moments and move on after we get our dopamine hit by calling him a moron.

    Not talking shit on anyone here, I’m just tired. And I’m tired of seeing a similar headline day after day as if it changes anything.

    You know the reason they are using terms like “employment”… Next step: We’ve now managed to include AIs and automated robots in jobs numbers! Now we can report 700% employment, while everyone starves away hoping for a chance at a job.
