Because in real life they would have to have a walkie talkie moth on the moon and that takes too long duh.

Fun fact: moths don't actually fly towards flames/lights. They have an instinct to orient their backs towards the light, presumably so that they can fly parallel to the moon at night which keeps them parallel to the ground.

They don't fly into lights intentionally, instead they keep re-orienting their back to it in a tighter and tighter spiral until they hit it.

If you skip enough blinds you can make it all the way to the end!

Absolutely. It's tragic that it was universally agreed that it's silly to track casting components on wizards. I mean, it makes perfect sense and I agree. But it's incredible and evocative to imagine your wizard using fur and a glass rod to generate static electricity to cast lightning bolt.

And yet no self-awareness from them about how AI is getting more and more indistinguishable from actual images and what we need to contend with is not how easy they are to spot.

That's only kind of true. There's a lot of money that could be found in funding Gaza. As someone made a point elsewhere in this thread. Money was made in Ukraine due to us funding it and some creative accounting, but the smart money move was to allow Russia to invade and save money/exploit off the back of the chaos.

In an almost identical way the U.S. could have funded Gaza and made money dragging out the war, but it didn't happen because of decades of entrenched racism and Zionism.

They literally hire people just to make up these scenarios to hire more people to make up contingency plans for them. I feel like once a year an article comes out that's like "the US has a contingency plan in case Sweden falls to communism and arms itself with nuclear weapons" and it's like: yeah, ok.

This is actually a slipping of the mask imo. The reaction to the LA demonstrations is so anti-ice/trump/military that Charlie is trawling the dregs of think-tank talking points trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator in LA.

Waiting for the first tech company that reinstates in person interviews and hiring locally. Would probably work in silicon valley.

Calexit is becoming less and less of a meme every day.

The capital class sees it as impossible to prosecute because the violence is alienated and the working class is seen as less than human.

What they don't mention here is that these guys get up at 6:00 AM, have lunch at 7 and leave at 8
