Teletubby 146,310 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Grimes called out Twitter’s “issues with public mental health” just days after Elon Musk announced he’d reached a deal to purchase the social media platform for $44bn. Speaking on MIT researcher Lex Fridman’s podcast on Friday, Grimes said despite her misgivings about some of the “issues” with the platform, she does continue to use it prolifically and even admitted to creating “fake Twitter accounts” in the past in order to debate with people on topics that she feels she couldn’t engage with on her blue-check verified account. “I, like, go into different algorithmic bubbles to try and like, understand,” she told the computer scientist. “I’ll keep getting in fights with people and realise we’re not actually fighting.” [...] “I do think there are a lot of issues with Twitter in terms of the public mental health,” she said while speaking with the artificial intelligence researcher, without going as far to outright slam the company her ex Musk had only just days earlier announced he’d be purchasing. “But due to my proximity to the current dramas, I honestly feel that I should not have opinions about this because, if Elon ends up getting Twitter, that is being the arbiter of truth or public discussion.” Claire was cautious about speaking too openly about Musk’s agreement to Twitter, noting that she didn’t want to “say something that might, like, dismantle democracy”. “I do have a lot of thoughts on the matter. If my thoughts are wrong, this is one situation where the stakes are high." source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hELXIG 42,855 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Okay that interview, first 30 seconds... that's why I stopped liking her this 'humans have evolved past the point of being human anymore, we need to become one with computers, AI is our new god, I don't believe that nature is important" thing that she constantly spouts is pretentious and frankly dangerous. Humans now more than ever need to remember our humanity, and create a healthy separation between real life human experiences and online/digital experiences. Not totally just give in to her sci-fi, anime girl wet-dream, fantasy future is She still makes good music and art though I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

I skipped further in the interview and she point blank says she 100% believes it. She's said all this stuff in other interviews too. When she talks she sounds so intelligent, but what she's saying is really just her own sci-fi wet dream fluff. It's like some of what she says makes sense, but some of it is so radical I just can't get behind it. The way she talks is kind of like those conspiracy theorist podcasters that spread misinformation and batshi.t ideas to the masses It is cult like and that's exactly why it's dangerous. She has a following she can influence and was partnered with a billionaire who's been doing horrible, cruel experiments on monkeys for years to combine their brains with computers so he can 'evolve' humanity (god complex much). This is the future her and Elon both want. Computers in our brains and combining humanity with AI to become a new 'super-intelligent race'... it's sick Edit: oh also she was at that weird ass convention recently that gave me the heeby-jeebies. Very cult like. Can't even remember what it was, just the weird feeling it gave me Edit again: some of the things she says I do like. But it's sooo 50/50. I either like... or just cant stand what she says I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mike 2,727 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The Futurism of the 20th century also praised modernity, technology over nature and a positivist position - this love of progress and innovation at all costs led the artists of this movement to embrace fascism in Italy.
