You know what? I really need to plumb the depths of the internet to find something about it. Time for some Arabic and Japanese language searches!

That also gets you out of manslaughter charges I heard.

Eehhh… no, it was like the Patty Rabbit Maple Town VHS tapes. You had someone (live action) talk about it and then the cartoon would play.

It wasnt stop motion. They had a live action segment with a girl and a puppet or costumed character (my memory is super hazy. It was a late 80s, early 90s thing and I was a little kid) and when they spoke about what they wanted to show they would do some little gesture and short song and then it would go to the anime segment.

Drug historians call the years 1870 to 1914 The Great Binge for a reason…

A 19th century Alex Jones sketch coming right up…

"Gentlemen (and ladies please leave for it is not for your dainty hearts!) These devilish wires that are held upon stakes that plunge into the heart of God’s green earth are doing far more than blighting our crops and potatoes! It is this same wire that I have good sources on (show them the papers, John!) *John on another podium waves blank paper piles like they mean something * that afflicted the Irish potato that lead those heathen Catholics to come over here, lorded over by their prince in Rome whose true master is the Jews!

And the main concern on all good Christian minds from these devilish telegraph wire is that they send an evil miasma that has been proven beyond all doubt (John! The proof!) That they even make the beasts of the land and water stray from the path God has lain forth and has sent them onto the path of SODOM! Gentlemen! They have turned the frogs onto sodomites!

But fear not, I have a tonic that will prevent all manner of evil from entering your heart! For but a nickel I have pint flask of the Jones invigorator! Guaranteed to ensure proper masculine strength and function, with the ladies never questioning you, and thus rendering no need to beat them to prevent them from straying onto the path of sapphistry!"

It was when I was growing up in the Middle East. They aired all manner of anime and mixed Japanese media (part live action part anime). That one I was thinking about was also Arabic dubbed and I dont recall the title.

I studied history (and by that I mean I liked to watch documentaries) and as a kid I saw educational cartoons and Anime (yes anime) that showed how there was a huge backlash against telephone and telegraphy when they first came out. With farmers blaming telegraph wire for destroying crops or crop diseases and they would sometimes even sabotage the wires and poles.

When I heard of the 5G bullshit that was literally what came to mind… it is incredible how eternal this form of ignorance is.

Hacked drones…

They are punk ass shitstains who think ‘if we charge at someone and they run away they must be an illegal’. Nevermind that anyone would flee at the sight of their ugly asses even if they weren’t in uniform.

That’s what got me banned.

My bans came from me saying that Israel is committing genocide and that Netenyahu needs to be tried and hanged for his crimes.

Satan is actually quite chill, if South Park is to be believed.

The failure of his Atlantic City casinos is legendary. People at the time were even commenting on the news on how stupid Trump’s management and planning style was. Basically making his own casinos compete and cannibalize one another instead of working against the competition.

Also Trump is all gaudy trash and looks over functionality. If Trump was born a generation prior he would have been so thoroughly ostracized by wealthier New Yorkers that he would never have had any business connections to work with. He was extremely lucky he ‘came of age’ in the 80s when showy displays of wealth started becoming more in vogue.

Correct. But I am referring to unfeeling computers writing off people like they were just assets and tools, like an unneeded screwdriver or empty soda can.

Math and science are completely neutral things. You can use them for any numbernof purposes, good or bad. AI could be a tremendous force for good, even the ‘art generation’ stuff i am sure has SOME uses (my use for it is making furry porn and nothing more).

But as it stands… it is being directly applied to gathering every single thing about everyone, fooling them into thinking they are having private conversations when absolutely everything is being logged, and causing emotional dependencies on programs that aren’t people, and even killing others with military AI.

I remember in 2014 when the Robocop remake came out the whole point of that movie is talking about how AI law enforcement is a bad idea specifically because AI has absolutely no feelings whatsoever… and that trope of AI monsters killing people due to programming glitches, programming intent, or just utilitarian approaches has been around since the 1960s and 70s with 2001a space Odyssey and West World.

I asked llms to help me with world building projects and to make some artwork (technical drawings) and boy howdy did they fail…

DO NOT TRUST ANY AI TECHNICAL DRAWING!

And they also want total control over us and know every single minute detail on us while keeping most things about themselves highly secretive.
