Fuck You, Eric.
I guess Google really did just change their motto to ‘be evil’
“We should all max out and default on 1 billion credit cards because we’ll never pay out all debts”. Maybe if we frame it that way the religious capitalists will get it.
There’s a danger when you advocate abandoning all hope of survival and you haven’t yet figured out immortality for yourself.
What? But that’s what the bunker in the remote island is for! And the security guards with shock/bomb collars. For living forever right?
I mean Biden just rushed a mad scientist a government position to replace brains slowly with fetal stem cells to end aging. And god I wish I was making up any of that.
(Inspired by west world to replace his whole body??)They are hoping to drag this out long enough to figure it out.
If we’re all f***** anyway, I think that justifies a lot of bad behavior. Why don’t people burn his house and company to the ground tomorrow? After all, law and order won’t matter when the environment goes to hell.
Let’s go all in on Eric Schmidt.
One bite each and they’ll ever know who to blame for the fatal one.
I mean, you joke, but there was a police chase like this about a decade ago. A black couple in Cleveland were driving past city hall, and their car backfired. A policeman “claims” he mistook it for a gunshot. So he began chasing this car.
It turned into a 45 minute chase all over Cleveland. Four cop cars joined in the chase, resulting in the chase ending in the parking lot of a school. When it finally ended, the cops opened fire, shooting 137 rounds at 2 people in a car.
This was the year AFTER Tamir Rice, in the same city. So they had reason to fear the police “just doing their job”.
After they searched the car, they found no gun. No evidence of a gun. Nothing illegal in the car. Just 2 dead bodies that they had shot with 137 bullets.
When the cops faced trial, the judge admitted that the cops were in the wrong, were guilty of murder, and had acted under false pretenses of the law.
However, because they could not determine which exact bullet killed them, nor whom of the 8 police officers fired them, they determined that nothing could be done legally to hold the cops accountable to face consequences.
As a Clevelander, yes I’m still upset.
This is insane. If I were to join 7 others and kill someone, we’d all go to fucking prison regardless if only one of us did it. They try people all the time like this knowing damn well only one person could have done it, and they can justifiably do that because they are acting as a group. What kind of lazy dog shit call is this.
Preaching to the choir. That case was so well known here, that the judge had to be put on trial for it, and was HIMSELF found not guilty.
All of this happening, just as the first round of BLM protests were going on nationwide. I was STUNNED when our protests were just a bunch of guys in a public park grilling, and some people with microphones saying it was unjust.
I was expecting L.A. Riots levels of violence. You had Tamir Rice, this couple, the judge who got off not guilty, AND there was video leaked from a Cleveland jail where 6 corrections officers all took turns beating a woman who was handcuffed to a metal chair, with their clubs. And the audio you can hear her screaming, and them laughing. To top it off, she had mental health problems to the point where she wasn’t even sure what was happening, much less why. And they just beat her.
Now in fairness, they did all get fired from that.
But also in fairness, that’s usually just code for “get fired today to create a headline, get hired tomorrow in a suburb city”.
godamn that is disgusting
Yes. Yes it is.
That’s BS. Such a weird legal sitiation.
In the UK, we just had 2 12 year olds stab someone to death. Due to the fact they couldn’t determine who murdered the guy, both were found guilty of murder.
Seems painfully relevant.
Fun fact about Eric Schmidt: he’s a moron
And you might be thinking, well yea, I can read the headline. But that’s not even what I’m talking about.
Inside google a bunch of engineers wanted to make chrome, you know that browser everyone uses and gives google an even more unfair strategic advantage. They literally had to hide this effort from Eric Schmidt because he’s a bean counting moron. He has negative strategic vision and would have killed the project.
Listening to this man prognosticate about anything is pointless. This is a man leading google that couldn’t see the value in owning the browser platform, he might be the dumbest person on earth.
You mean this guy could have saved us from Google’s browser monopoly? The world could have been so different…
saved us for what, netscape or IE?
Firefox was a thing, and Google suggested every user to use it before they invented Chrome.
Had a planet full of resources, and thousands of years of rich and interesting cultural development.
Decided to spend all the resources grinding all that culture into a bland paste.
Is… is humanity a shitpost?
This guy never cared about our environment in the first place.
That’s a serious dickhead. Others may try but this guy delivers a master class.
That’s pretty cool. Fuck everyone born after now, I guess. Shitbag.
“Oh well, we lived golden age, tough luck for those young today, fuck’em lmao”
And its the next generation’s fault for making it more warmer
“we gotta find SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, SOMEHOW to justify all this AI garbage or it’s gonna tank the company.”
That would make sense if we were all going to blink out of existence*, but we’re going to still be here, with raisable and lowerable levels of suffering.
“My toe is already stubbed, no reason not to cut both my legs off”
*actually no it wouldn’t because AI is still a massive threat even without the climate getting worse from it.
