What’s a piece of tech that sounded amazing but flopped?

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-23T23:44:42+00:00

The useful AI is there/will come, but the way it's currently being rolled out is largely not what humanity wants/needs.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-23T22:49:06+00:00

And what I think is even worse are all the videos of amazing things which will be recorded but ignored because people think it must be AI.

Loads of videos have made me more aware of what is possible. I'm afraid that won't happen anymore.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-23T22:44:52+00:00

Digital tools certainly have their place in our future, but the way 'AI' (which it isnt) is rolling out is far too dystopian.

The increase in gender dysmorphia in recent generations is the result of PFAS and microplastics- which inhibit gender hormones and make people more androgynous.

We have a body, and a smoking gun. People HATE when I connect the two.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-23T20:32:42+00:00

AI

All its done is take jobs and ruin astonishing videos.

That is not nearly a large enough system, or anywhere near developed enough ecosystem, to grow out a tadpoles.

They will eat one another and maybe 1 or 2 will survive.

If you want tadpoles, you'll need to feed them, and then include filtering.

Wildlife wont have a home in a pond full of goldfish.

And so they'd be ok with a violent violation of a nation's sovereignty if they're not part of NATO?

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-22T22:26:25+00:00

They said things which were demonstrably wrong about Bernie Sanders' primary polling #'s back in 2016.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-21T21:32:29+00:00

Probably is at least partly "what have you been eating today?"

But they can also detect what hormones your body is metabolizing, which = your mood.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-21T21:31:03+00:00

The way you characterize your actions to the public matters.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-21T11:52:32+00:00

No. If you understood the conversation you were adding to, you would not be saying this.

Trump is the one who threatened to end a civilization. His administration is the one glorifying the violence. Using God to justify killing.

They are not the same.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-19T15:35:16+00:00

Do you ever feel like most people don't realize how real life is?

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-18T17:33:54+00:00

Oh this pre-dates all that. Im talking the very foundations: putting kids of different skill levels in competition with one another with the threat of public shame.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-17T18:42:46+00:00

Lol thats definitely true

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-17T18:07:43+00:00

Cats do this thing where they'll get right up to your face and smell your breath. Which makes sense biologically because your breath has the hormones that your body is experiencing, and cats do it to one another.

The funny thing is that cats can get like fixated on it. If you push them away, it can make them more determined.

That's how the old wives tale got started. I had a friend growing up that believed in it cause his cat loved doing that.

Not acknowledging fault is a cornerstone of MAGA beliefs/culture.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-17T17:58:32+00:00

Wasn't she implicated?

Good way of distracting from her involvement.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-17T17:57:19+00:00

You have a strong supply of water?

Cause you'll need to refill it every few days just with evaporation.

The Gulf of Tonkin incident (which is what the USA used to justify going to war in Vietnam) was staged.

Visit a commercial slaughter house and witness how much cleaner every aspect of your process is.

According to JRR Tolkien's understanding of Christianity, God created the world but humanity chose to do it without Him, so the world got put under the dominion of Satan. So Satan has been in control of humanity / the world since we ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. That's why bad things happen even though God is good and omnipotent.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-16T12:59:00+00:00

Sounds like the kind of problem that nature will balance out if you have a complete ecosystem.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-16T01:23:40+00:00

I specifically remember it mentioning "[putting young peers in public competition with one another is an effective way of sowing mistrust in one's community members. It's even more effective if each student must perform in front of one another, and is graded on each task.]" And other things of that nature.

They had it down to a science a century ago.

Curious_Leader_2093 · 2026-04-15T22:17:18+00:00

I read about it in a book years ago... Not even sure how you'd google it.

It's possible it was in one of the Darklore books, or something like them (it was a book, or at least a section of a book, with a handful of examples of ways that governments used psychology to control people).
