Fucking hell. What exactly do they pay Salty Ballman for if all he does is come up the same ideas over and over? Just replace him with a coin with “cram another LLM into the trenchcoat” on one side and “add another payment tier” on the other.

Worst fake techonology revolution ever. This bubble can’t burst fast enough.

Martial law and free speech restrictions are only bad if the bad guys do it, also we get to decide who the bad guys are

Ah, yes. In case you were wondering about said Swiss businessman and whether or not his actions in the DPRK were morally sound, once again, Wikipedia has something to say.

Yeah in terms of the meme mutation timeline, I believe the initial use would have been from leftists to mock outrageous/outlandishly false claims, in line with Park saying the trains thing. Since then the format has been mutated to also include “thing that exists in culture that is then exaggerated to be construed as dystopian” (see the example that soyweiser posted) and also “thing that is straight up dystopian but it’s something from the west”. So I think the only things that would approach the level of humor/absurdity of the original would have to be something else crazy out of YP’s mouth.
