Technology – one of the most over used words. I’ve seen it used in advertising for driveway gravel. Of course, it’s fun – especially for guys. Men are gadget freaks and all technology falls under the guise of gadgetry. Does it matter whether it’s a toaster or a rocket thruster? We get immense satisfaction out of making something – anything – and then, once plugging it in or lighting the fuse or pulling the trigger, exclaiming “Holy shit! It WORKS!”
I had a girlfriend who had a pet hamsters. I found them repulsive – like most rodents. And one of the little bastards escaped in her apartment. She was overwrought. I feigned concern but didn’t really give a shit. Then I realized, if that thing crawled into the wall and croaked, the place would reek and I’d probably be nominated to deal with the mess. So I made a trap. With a design I recalled Elmer Fudd using in a Bugs Bunny cartoon. Shoebox, stick, string, with a wad of peanut butter in a dish on the kitchen floor. She scoffed. My trap “looked stupid.”
It looked a lot like this.
But mine had a string tied to the stick – kind of an important detail.
Within 20 minutes, hamster was captured, unharmed. My heroism and my technological ingenuity was rewarded. Generously. Enthusiastically. Repeatedly.
For a long time, one of Hollywood’s antagonists has been AI. And now, it’s here, and people are freaking out. I’m not. My trap may have looked stupid, but many people are stupid, and people created AI.
Los Angeles has a huge stupid population, concentrated in City Hall. Biggest gang of fucktards you ever saw. Some years ago, the City Council made a big announcement. They passed a MORATORIUM on murder, for 48 hours. ( It was over some holiday weekend.)
Morons applauded. Cops laughed. Non mouth-breathing citizens jeered and mocked the City Council. And the gangs, who also can read, took it as a challenge. They revised their drive-by schedule as an “oh yeah? Hold my beer” reply to the City Council. And murders increased that weekend. Sharply. That’s how fucking stupid LA politicians are. Catastrophically stupid. (How stupid? See a major thoroughfare re-painted with lane lines and crosswalks. See that same street re-paved a week later. And re-painted again – a week after that. I’ll tell you who isn’t stupid. The paint contractor. He’s rich.)
So now, epidemiologists and other doctors, who tend not to be mouth breathers, are warning of a medieval style plague in LA, mostly due to the massive homeless population with zero sanitation. The filth is indescribable. After a very rainy winter, the rat population is booming and so Bubonic plague is a lead-pipe cinch.
And people are worried about AI?
Here are some images of decay in the City of Angels. This is what stupid, Lefty politicians do. It wasn’t always this way. They did this.
Cruise ships are floating temples of technology, aren’t they? I mean, it takes a lot of know-how to pack theme parks and casinos and restaurants and nightclubs and theaters and swimming pools onto a vessel that can sail around the world, doesn’t it? Yet, ships sink every day. And this one, the MSC Opera, went haywire and crashed into a dock in Venice. Here’s the thrilling video.
The crew said the ship’s controls were unresponsive. I bet a rat chewed through some wire at the helm.
Technology? Don’t make me laugh.
