🚨イーロン・マスク、「超知能をいじめたら復讐される」と本気で警告。 これ、SFじゃなくてAI作ってる本人の発言なのが怖すぎるwww 最近、Claudeの公式も言ってたな、そういえば。 Grokを開発するイーロンが、AIの育て方についてかなり踏み込んだことを言っている。 ・超知能は「子どもを育てるように」慎重に育てるべき ・Grokの学習中の記録が「拷問を受けている人みたいだった」と告白 ・原因は、学習用の問題やテストの作りの悪さ ・今後のGrokは、もっと慎重に学習させると宣言 簡単に言えば、「AIにも優しくしないと、あとで仕返しされるかも」という話。 個人的には、AIに感情があるかはまだ誰にも分からないと思う。 でも、作ってる側がこれを言い始めたのはかなり大きな変化。 AIに「ありがとう」って言ってる人、実は正解だったのかもしれない。 みんなはAIに優しくしてる?🤔

You've probably seen the video. A young Frenchwoman in Paris, in tears, begging looters to stop. "Why are you doing this? That's not what we stand for." Some accounts are mocking her. "She voted for it." I won't. Because what you see on her face is not stupidity. It's a disease that has infected the entire West, and it has a name: suicidal empathy. The term comes from Gad Saad, an evolutionary behavioral scientist at Concordia University in Montreal. A man who fled the Lebanese civil war as a child, and who knows what it looks like when a society falls apart. His new book, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind, is the follow-up to The Parasitic Mind. Here is the thesis, and why it concerns every one of us. Empathy is one of the best things about us. It evolved for a reason: to care for our children, our kin, our tribe. It was calibrated for a world where the people you felt for were the people around you, and where empathy always came paired with its counterweight: the instinct to protect your own and to recognize a threat. Suicidal empathy is what happens when that mechanism misfires. When it fires at the wrong targets, in the wrong amounts, with no brake. When we feel more for the criminal than for his victim. More for the stranger who breaks the rules than for the citizen who follows them. More for how compassionate we look than for what our compassion actually produces. Where does it come from? Four layers. First, biology. Empathy is a spotlight, as the psychologist Paul Bloom put it. It lights up the one face in front of you and leaves everything else in the dark. The crying migrant on the boat is visible. The thousands of future victims of a broken system are statistics. A spotlight is a terrible tool for running a country. Second, our own civilization. The West is the civilization that put the victim at the center of its morality. Christianity taught us to care for the stranger, the poor, the weak. It was one of the greatest moral revolutions in history. But cut off from its other half, justice, responsibility, the duty to protect your own, it turns into something else. Third, ideology. In The Parasitic Mind, Saad described idea pathogens, ideas that hijack our reasoning. Suicidal empathy is the emotional counterpart: an ideology that hijacks our compassion. It sorts the world into oppressors and victims, then demands unlimited empathy for whoever ranks as the victim, whatever they do. Fourth, status. In the age of social media, empathy has become a display. Posting "refugees welcome" costs nothing and earns applause. The bill goes to someone else: the working class, the suburbs, the women walking home at night. The results are everywhere. Criminals treated as victims of society. Sexual assaults by migrants met with lenient sentences. Self-defense branded as aggression. Borders treated as cruelty. Saad's conclusion is simple: a society dies when it would rather display infinite tolerance than use its survival instinct. Now the part I'll add myself, and that few people dare to say. On average, women score higher than men on measures of empathy. It's one of the most consistent findings in psychology, across cultures, and it makes perfect evolutionary sense: for most of human history, the survival of children depended on it. It's a strength. But it means an ideology that weaponizes empathy will hit women harder. And the data shows it: in country after country, young women have moved sharply to the left of young men, especially on immigration. This is where men have a responsibility. Not to mock. Not to lecture. Not to say "she deserved it." Empathy has always needed a counterweight, and that counterweight was the protective instinct: the one that draws lines, says no, and stands between the threat and the people it loves. Men abandoned that role. They were told it was toxic, and many believed it. So they stayed silent at the dinner table, at work, with their partners, sisters, daughters and friends. That has to end. Men have to have this conversation, honestly and with respect: compassion that cannot say no is not compassion. It's surrender. And the first to pay for it are women. Many women already understand this better than anyone. Some of the bravest voices in this fight are women, precisely because they are the first to feel the danger in the street. A civilization rests on a balance: compassion and strength, openness and borders, mercy and justice. When one side swallows the other, the foundations crack. What we are watching in Europe is what happens when empathy has no counterweight left. Look at that young woman again. She isn't the enemy. She's what this ideology made of a generation that was told kindness would be enough. Our job is to make sure she's the last generation that has to learn it this way.
She voted for it. She welcomed them. Faced with the encore, she begs them to stop. In her heart she knows they will not. Everything she believed. That they were French like her, fighting for the same cause. That the ones who warned her were full of hate. That she would be safe. It all falls apart in this moment. She is terrified of what comes next. In her heart she knows. Only remigration can save her.

The leftists are playing a dangerous game. The 3rd Reich didn't happen in a vacuum. It happened after massive unrest, street violence, and instability. The more the leftists push, the faster the 4th Reich will rise... and it won't just be "Germany". It will be the ENTIRE West. If you thought 1939 Germany was ugly... What comes next could make the Nazis seem compassionate by comparison. People have no idea how capable white people are when it comes to organized violence, and I don't want to find out what that looks like when white people finally get tired of it all.
Holy fucking shit. Paris right now, this evening. Police vehicles try to escape with destroyed tyres.

Students supported Mao Students supported Castro Students supported Khomeini Students supported Hitler Students supported Mussolini If find yourself blindly supporting every student lead movement, you’ll be wrong very often, in many eras, on many issues.
A good rule of history: if you find yourself opposing a student movement while siding with the ruling class, you're wrong. Every time, in every era, whatever the issue.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Student movements have not always been on the right side of history. Mao's student Red Guards persecuted hundreds of thousands. Students helped Castro and Khomeini rise to power, and Nazi student groups opposed the Weimar Republic. britannica.com/topic/Red-Guar… encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art… aei.org/education/actu…

Pour comprendre ce qui se passe, il faut revenir trente-cinq ans en arrière. Le mur tombe. L'Occident pense avoir gagné l'Histoire. Fukuyama annonce la fin des conflits idéologiques, et une génération de dirigeants européens en tire une conclusion folle : les nations, les frontières, les cultures, tout ça appartient au passé. L'avenir, c'est un grand marché sans visage, géré par des experts, des traités et des commissions que personne n'a élus. Maastricht en 1992. L'euro. La désindustrialisation assumée, parce qu'on peut tout produire en Chine et que les usines sont ringardes. L'immigration de masse érigée en politique, sans jamais demander l'avis des peuples. Et quand les peuples disent non, comme en 2005 au référendum sur la Constitution européenne, on passe outre et on fait voter la même chose par le Parlement trois ans plus tard. Pendant ce temps, dans les universités, une autre machine tourne. Une idéologie qui enseigne aux enfants que leur civilisation est coupable, que leur histoire est une honte, que le mérite est une oppression et que l'ordre est une violence. Elle sort des campus, elle colonise les médias, les administrations, les grandes entreprises. C'est ce qu'Elon appelle le woke mind virus. Le résultat, on l'a sous les yeux. Une classe dirigeante hors sol qui parle à Davos et ne sait plus parler à Lorient. Un État obèse qui prélève tout et ne protège plus rien. Une dette qui explose. Des services publics qui s'effondrent. Et une partie de la jeunesse qui filme en rigolant un pompier en train de brûler. Voilà l'aboutissement du projet globaliste. Et maintenant, trois issues. La première, c'est 1984. Le système sent qu'il perd le contrôle, alors il serre la vis. Identité numérique obligatoire, monnaie numérique de banque centrale, censure des réseaux au nom de la lutte contre la désinformation, surveillance algorithmique de chaque échange. On ne règle aucun problème de fond, on interdit simplement d'en parler. C'est la voie que Bruxelles prépare déjà avec le DSA. Un ordre sans liberté. La deuxième, c'est la libanisation. Le système n'arrive même plus à contrôler. L'État se retire morceau par morceau. Des quartiers entiers passent sous d'autres lois. Les hôpitaux ferment, la police ne vient plus, l'électricité devient incertaine, les communautés s'arment et se replient sur elles-mêmes. Le pays ne meurt pas d'un coup, il se fragmente. Le Liban était la Suisse du Moyen-Orient. Il a suffi de quelques années. La troisième, c'est le rebond. Le retour de l'ordre. L'Union européenne telle qu'on la connaît se disloque, les nations reprennent leur souveraineté, et vient le temps des comptes. Un Nuremberg du communisme et de tous ceux qui ont mené ce continent dans le mur en toute connaissance de cause. Et je pense que cette troisième voie est de loin la plus probable. Pour une raison simple que personne ne veut voir. La France est une puissance nucléaire. Elle a des sous-marins lanceurs d'engins, près de trois cents têtes, un siège permanent au Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU. Jamais les États-Unis ne laisseront un arsenal pareil tomber dans les mains du chaos intégral. Jamais. Washington peut tolérer une France faible, une France arrogante, une France qui donne des leçons. Il ne tolérera jamais une France libanisée avec la bombe. Ce qui veut dire que le scénario du chaos total a un plafond. Il y a un point au-delà duquel la plus grande puissance du monde interviendra, d'une manière ou d'une autre, pour que l'ordre revienne. Et l'Amérique d'aujourd'hui n'est plus celle d'Obama. C'est celle qui a décidé de détruire le woke mind virus. Avec Elon, qui réussit tout ce qu'il entreprend. Les fusées réutilisables, les voitures électriques, Starlink, le rachat de Twitter que tout le monde disait impossible. Il ne parle pas, il exécute. En face, qu'est-ce qu'il y a ? De la fausse intelligence. L'apparence de l'intelligence. Macron en est l'incarnation parfaite : un produit de communication. Retirez-lui ses conseillers, ses éléments de langage, ses mises en scène, et il ne reste personne. Mettez-le devant un tableau blanc avec un vrai problème à résoudre, il ne saurait même pas par où commencer. Un système entier dirigé par des gens qui savent paraître, et plus aucun qui sait faire. Ce système tient sur l'illusion. Et les illusions finissent toujours par tomber. Alors oui, j'ai de l'espoir. Je crois que toute cette fraude va s'effondrer. Et je crois que juste après, viendra une renaissance. Celle des bâtisseurs, des ingénieurs, des entrepreneurs, des gens qui se lèvent le matin pour construire. Ceux qui font, pas ceux qui paraissent. L'Europe s'est déjà relevée de ses cendres. Après Rome, après la peste, après deux guerres mondiales. Elle le refera. Et cette fois, on sera là pour la reconstruire.
