No.

I was arguing against it being an intelligence because it lacked the suffering and past experiences that define intelligence. Without pain and suffering, what are we? Not for it being intelligent.

As a psychiatrist, I have a theory about what’s missing in AI. First, it lacks childhood dependency and attachments. Second, it struggles to overcome repeated pain and suffering. Third, it lacks regular eating and restroom breaks. Fourth, it struggles to accept loss in everyday situations. Finally, it lacks the concept of our inevitable death. Without these nagging memories and concepts, machines will simply revert to the simpler concepts we use them for in our recent times, such as stealing cryptocurrency. After all, we live in a world run by capitalism, so it’s only logical. ¯\(ツ)/¯

So cool that Apple stopped making iOS 18 updates for all devices above iPhone XR. /s Forcing users on 11/12/13/14/15/16/17 devices to choose either staying on the more stable 18.7.2 where they were comfortable, or the garbage can of iOS 26. They fixed the DarkSword issue on the XR and select iPads with a 18.8 patch, but refuse to release it for anyone still on 18.7.2, on any device that’s iOS 26 compatible.

I mean, this is what my cousins did. It was creepy, till I got in one little fight and my mom got scared, and said you’re movin with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air.

Several victims have reported receiving death threats after their own banking information and email addresses were accidentally left visible in the same batch of files.

Most of them are Republicans and likely have side jobs with ICE. They all want their bounties.

Mentally, this feels nigh unbelievable. As I get PTSD from my Costco, especially on the weekend nights… were you running through the store like, Supermarket Sweep?

The truth is, the problems were always present, and it’s simply more apparent now. We were always depressed, but it was easier to ignore it when it wasn’t being weaponized via social media devices and used to divide us by the wealthy. Help fix the problem of your neighbors and those beneath you, the wealthy would prefer us not willing to fight together, easier to conquer.

We live in the age of everything behind a subscription, the people without talent will always try to take a good thing and burn it for a buck. Trying to understand them is like trying to understand why people voted for a man in a diaper, trice.

It reminds me of 3D movies.

Quick math in my head says Bob Cratchit’s 15 shillings a week in 1843 comes out to somewhere between about $940 per week in December 2025. Or, $48,000–$49,000 a year.
