Aral Balkan<p>Surprise, surprise: In a system that conflates intelligence with profit, Microsoft thinks artificial general intelligence is what you get when you have $100B in profits.</p><p>(Yes, you read that right.

Sadly, it’s not harmless nonsense but a death cult.)</p><p>“Microsoft and OpenAI have a very specific, internal definition of artificial general intelligence (AGI) based on the startup’s profits, according to a new report from The Information.

MissConstrue<p>Y'all, let's talk about the Christian Patriarchy and the Smell of Death that surrounds them.</p><p>Before 2022, both Texas and Georgia had some of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. There's been a 56% rise in pregnancy-related deaths in Texas over the past few years. I've posted here the Propublica stories about women dying.</p><p>After those stories were published, TX and GA decided to eliminate reviews of maternal deaths in their states. Just...not going to look at it, pretend it isn't there.</p><p>These fascists that tarnish the name of the Palestinian prophet of peace, are a death cult that hates women. Dying is the punishment we deserve for having sex. Even if that sex was nonconsensual. Or we're honorably sacrificed on the alter of perfected motherhood by dying when we could have been saved by a simple 10 minute procedure.</p><p>The Christian Nationalist Fundamentalists are no more pro-life than sharks.</p><p><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/abortion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>abortion</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/women" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>women</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/rights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rights</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/deathcult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deathcult</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/gop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gop</span></a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/uspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>uspol</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/12/02/dont-care-if-women-from-abortion-bans--but-they-dont-want-you-to-know-about-it/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">salon.com/2024/12/02/dont-care</span><span class="invisible">-if-women-from-abortion-bans--but-they-dont-want-you-to-know-about-it/</span></a></p>
Shantell Powell<p>I went to a gallery opening a while back. I wore a mask, but maybe one or two other people did. The place was jam-packed, there was no ventilation, and I took off early because I heard people coughing and sniffing and I couldn't handle it. </p><p>I miss going to events. I used to regularly go to art galleries, museums, movies, plays, and concerts. Now I don't feel at all safe going to them. People have decided to ignore the ongoing pandemic. Outbreaks are happening all over, and people are being disabled at ridiculous rates, and collectively, people stopped giving a shit. It distresses me. </p><p>My roommate and I were already disabled, and contracting COVID has made us much worse. My father has severe long COVID and is a shell of his former self. </p><p>Why don't people want to protect one another from this? It's not hard to protect one another, but people can't be arsed and I don't know what to do beyond hide in my room with my HEPA filter and shout into the void. <a href="https://c.im/tags/accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MaskUp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaskUp</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/eugenics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eugenics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeathCult</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MassDisablingEvent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MassDisablingEvent</span></a></p>
DoomsdaysCW<p>So, true story. For a brief period, I spent some time in a fundamentalist Christian church (I was exploring different religions as a young teen). I kid you not when I tell you that some of those folks, especially <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ChristoZionists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChristoZionists</span></a>, truly believe that bringing about <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldWar3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorldWar3</span></a> will cause the "Messiah" to return. Ummmm... I saw right through that crappo -- talk about a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DeathCult" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeathCult</span></a>!</p>
