    There was a time where making a public statement this deranged would mean that nobody would ever consider you a serious person ever again.

      When? Religious people have always been morons.

      There was a small period 15-20 years ago on the internet where religious bullshit was always laughed out of the room, but then technology improved and more religious dipshits were able to get online and support each other.

          Nah. Used to be that every village hat its smart dude that got laughed at when they were going against the grain. The Internet gave those smart dudes their own village. But now the rest of the village is joining.

      If you wear the right kind of hat it’s literally impossible to say anything stupid enough to be put away.

    At this point everyone who has provided material support to project 2025 is a traitor. They should all be tried and jailed. Also, prevented from ever the having authority over other human beings for the rest of their miserable lives.

    Sometimes it blows my mind how naive some people have to be to buy into this shit. Almost everyone who speaks of their war against their self described Antichrist is acting like one in major ways. This guy literally conflicts himself by the minute, first calls government control as antichrist and scapegoating as a very dangerous social dynamic and then signs surveillance deals with Trump so that he can blame the immigrants and poor people for USA’s problems. For fucks sake, you don’t even need the subtly misleading evil anymore, anything goes.

    Perhaps it is not naiveness but more like the pleasure of having a powerful billionaire regurgitate a century long propaganda embedded in the centre of your life philosophy back at you, the comfort of being affirmed by someone “deemed successful” and not having to face the many contradictions of the stories in your head.

    Me just reading the title:

    Oh nice, are we finally calling Trump the antichrist? Fantastic!

    (Although, in that case deregulating AI would hasten him.)

    I had a dream last night that people were gathered under a new pseudo-religion based around the Butlerian Jihad from the Dune books, with a specific focus on the main commandment of “thou shalt not make a machine in likeness of the human mind” and went on a sort of crusade to destroy all LLMs.

    Punchable face.

    Also, makes me think of the movie Eagle Eye and that wild hard-chasing Predator drone loaded with Hellfire missiles.
