Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Our new technocracy kind of shooting itself in the foot here since it needs that steady flow of publicly funded research to do, well, basically anything.
Are they really confident a bunch of human experimentation zones with failsons working in labs supervised by chatGPT is going to give them immortality juice?
Absolutely. They are high on their own propaganda.
Yep. The elites are bored and want to divvy up the US into privately-owned technocracies powered by AI. Billionaires would sooner eat each other than cede power to another, so their resolution was a coalition to bring down world governments, so they may rule as monarchs of their own little serfdoms.
All of their plans depend on enormous masses of people taking up their ideological cause and doing all the work of dismantling entire nations for them, because the elites fundamentally cannot fathom a world in which they want to do something and there isn’t an entire class of people already in the process of making it happen without need of directions of how to accomplish it.
The elites are so insulated by the rule of capitalism and the legacy of empires that they feel comfortable in tearing down the states that have endured centuries of popular opposition and whose institutions made their extravagant wealth automatic. Elites have just enough power and influence to inflict global war and death on the rest of us, but not enough to escape true justice in the form of a bullet shot clean through their skulls, Weegee style.
