Wow, half of the island has no electricity, Folks on our island are devastated. I'm out all day helping neighbors and you're ranting about 6 year old national politics, on Punaweb. Sheesh...
I did find a perfect example, here on Punaweb, of the type of online radicalization folks here seem to be referring to:
Punatang - Thanks Durian Fiend for being the adult in the room. I'm disappointed that the wink wink nod nod support for domestic terrorism has been allowed to stand in this thread.
Radicalized poster posted: Not sure why you think there is any "wink wink nod nod" involved - every major social movement tends to have a radical wing that makes the moderate calls for reform more palatable. For every Frederick Douglass there is a John Brown, for Kue Petitions a Wilcox Rebellion, for Thoreau a Goldman, for MLK Jr a Malcolm X. Seems somewhat immature to not recognize this trend, maybe as naive as to deny that when you send chickens out in the Puna morning air from your coop, those chickens return that evening to your coop, not your neighbor's coop, and that never makes one sad, only glad (see fellow kids, that is how you wink and nod
It seems like we are getting distracted by the AI we have access to. Now we are divided, in no small measure by AI, over how AI is dividing us. I think what we are calling AI (grok, chat, etc) is a bunch of parlor tricks, as many have, quite correctly, pointed out here. When people get excited that "the AI bubble" is popping - I think maybe, but even when that bubble pops there will still be AI. We need to be a bit more united and a bit more focused on that AI that we do not have access to. Einstein said: "I do know what weapons world war III will be fought with but world war IV will be fought with sticks and stones." I think the reality is that world war IV might very well be fought by machines and they very likely won't be consulting any humans.
