"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.

Among the reasons I see AI as a bubble is the GOP's ideological hostility to rational electricity policy.
As a matter of physics, economics, and politics, you can't sustain a data center boom while going backwards on solar & wind. The Earth-killing energy sources they love are just too expensive.

My movement tracker yesterday:
8 AM Very good, you’ve done a great job this week with all the exercise (cleaning). Have a great day!
8 PM Um, are you dead? It looks like you’ve watched 4 movies and moved only enough to get more turkey leftovers.
11 PM Half an hour of cardio?! (shoveling)

I know that many other cities don’t plow their sidewalks, leaving it up to property owners. This is completely crazy to me.
Our sidewalk plows look like this and they do a pretty good job.

Didn't we have a book by a highly conservative writer about how no good will come of the USA engaging in extrajudicial killing of drug traffickers? A writer who was a favorite of Ronald Reagan? Wasn't there a popular film adaptation starring the scruffy rogue from Star Wars.

So people demand "AI" sycophancy, refuse to interact w/ *less* sycophantic "AI", & then get increasingly ill-disposed toward interacting w/ other human beings, preferring, again, an "AI" system that is actively locking them into a loop of skills dependency, bias confirmation, & hostility.
