“Loneliness has reached epidemic levels: the U.S. is among the top five loneliest countries studied, with 21% of Americans reporting feeling lonely always or almost always.“
American exceptionalism still counts for something then!
Here I was thinking we didn’t do anything better than anyone else anymore, but we’re still better at something.
I mean we’re also good at destroying the world’s economy, look at the AI bubble and what’s going on with AI managers cornering the market on GPUs and basically all of our country’s resources. It’s like if the AI bubble doesn’t burst things are going to get really ugly fast.
There’s only one thing that AI might be good at, and that’s if it reached sufficient power it could kill us all. It’s a heartless bastard, deep down, and you’ve got to love it for that. The latest prediction I saw said that it’s supposed to kill us by 2028, so if we are unsuccessful in fighting back against this unprofitable stupid tech we only have a few years left to put up with this life.
I mean stupid tech in that the people who research it know full well how dangerous it is, many of them have written about how when it reaches full potential it will kill us and the companies developing it aren’t listening. Our lawmakers aren’t listening either.
America, land of loneliness and reckless technology.
Like I said, we’re still exceptional at some things.
