Let's be real, if Twitter existed in 1941, there's no way humankind would have survived to 2025.

Humankind would have existed in 2025. 2025 would just have Morlocks and Eloi.

At least, that seems where we're headed..,
After hearing some stories from nieces and nephews, high school today is a goddamn hellscape of group chats and deepfake images…I would hate to grow up in the always connected age but such is the future
Sounds about white.
Did Nazi that coming
One difference - there was some Japanese resistance or concerns internally to the long term effect of giving the US a reason to come into the war. I don't get the sense that anyone who has any pull right now is questioning ANYTHING Trump says. And that's a big part of the problem. A narcissistic commander with a fragile ego who thinks anything he does is gold, surrounded by yes-men for their own purposes.
How is that any different from the current situation?
Wiser heads warned of escalation but were locked out of power by militarists.
The point is that the people opposed to war in the US are not in any position to even debate their side of the argument. Japan pre WWII had some advisors that were at least on the surface opposed to attacking PH, even if they were eventually overruled.
Democrats aren't even trying to stop him.
Since when were the Democrats, people opposed to war?
Also there has been multiple reports of some of the more Russian aligned Reps trying to stop it.
That's the whole point isn't it? Democrats are the closest thing America has to an opposition and they're in agreement.
Hegseth still had a chin full of ball-slobber during the presser.
See, when I think of AI, I think that I should just be able to describe this meme into the AI interface, and it should produce this flawlessly.
Unfortunately, producing this image is one of the most difficult things AI is struggling with right now, as it hardly can manage to render text at all, let alone regularly and reliably. Or competently.
That’s the true Turing test: “Computer, create a meme that looks like a Twitter post from Hirohito, in the style of Donald Trump, that brags about the bombing of Pearl Harbor in the same foolhardy way and with the same blind confidence that Trump is bragging about bombing Iran.”
Or you could just do the thing yourself with less effort and less wasted resources. The true Turing test is knowing when something doesn't need fucking AI to do.
Thats… the point I was trying to make. Using sarcasm. Mocking the foolishness of wasting decades of development and financing on an infrastructure which, ultimately, could be matched by anyone just giving a fuck about trying. And the amusing shame that, with such irony, the more humans become capable of the less we accomplish.
I am, sardonically, pointing my finger and laughing at the indelible capacity for human laziness.
