  I think more want to be “influencers” because they don’t have any relatives that can give them a small multi-million dollar loan.

  I would let you decide what is fair, then hand you over to the poorest of people for feedback.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rent is theft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think the responsibility is on the individual to provide housing for another but to advocate/agitate for a society where one doesn’t have to. One thing to keep in mind is that what is reasonable is relative to what can be done, and a post-industrial society doesn’t have to have necessities be scarce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Distraction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We also will kidnap the leader of another country as a distraction

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world is trying to log off U.S. tech⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For this to be practical you need to audit and control the code the runs in the data center. I think that was a hangup with some Chinese based services that offered to host in the EU.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the 2028 United States presidential election was held today, who would you vote for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Any politician that has put their own safety on the line. I don’t care if they ratiod Trump on truth social or even took him to court. People with far less privilege are showing up on the front lines to demand accountability, we should expect nothing less from our leaders.

  IDK, a lot of that data center AI hardware is built to self-destruct after a few years. It’s going to take time for the factories to retool before we see prices drop back down.

  Because AI does nonsensical things that would require extra effort for a human to do, in this case the lady has a soccer purse and a soccer ball

  The pinkertons have entered the chat

  Don’t worry, the America’s free market provides many paramilitary groups to shutdown those pesky unions and curious journalists. No need for government involvement!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If president abductions are something that can apparently just happen how come Putin or Kim Jong Un aren't in some foreign prison right now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We tried to have navy seals plant listening devices in North Korea ahead of a summit, it did not go well. People say nukes, but I think their security is a whole nother level, like our government rarely knows where those leaders are at a given moment.

  Can bet on large swaths of people dieing but where’s the bet that Trump will be assassinated? Don’t they want an accurate forecast of that as well?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Teflon Don, like Epstein, collected pictures of power people doing “embarrassing” things. Unlike Epstein he didn’t use a private island, he used hotels that catered to people with power.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google CEO Says We're All Going to Have to Suffer Through It as AI Puts Society Through the Woodchipper⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing about these woodchipper orphan grinding machines is that as long as you are throwing others into the machine you get to stay in the back of the line.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump, 79, Rants Incoherently About Robots and AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They want artificial employees to discipline the labor market but what they will get instead is a deskilled labor force and business structures that are even more resistant to adaptation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wouldn’t that have made the USSR capitalist as well? I think a key distinction is how authority within a party is established. If authority is derived from ownership then that is clearly capitalist. If authority is derived from the party itself, then that is something else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s all hard to do when billionaires are the ones structuring society. The point is we don’t get to choose corrective societal actions unless it is an exercise of individual privilege. I would have loved to take the train to visit relatives, but it literally is not an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Urban centers have less waste or CO2 per capita than their rural or suburban counterparts. The problem is our pursuit of ever increasing profits is extremely wasteful but is currently how states gain influence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have an idea ☝️⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ehh, the capitalist class doesn’t call the shots in China though, the party does. And their private corporations don’t simply have shareholders, it has party representation embedded in the control structure making “ownership” moot because ultimately the party can veto or seize production at moments notice.

  That being said, when Xi starts claiming socialism is inevitable, he does so to delay it’s implementation.

  When being a contrarian asshole becomes your marketing strategy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Our political system equates value to revenue and that is why we don’t tax accordingly. Business owners are labeled “job creators” and taxing them is framed as a negative value add.

  Absolutely agree that athletes are also being exploited here and the burden should not fall on them to correct this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This. Everyone wants qualified, well paid teachers for their kids, just like how most people want universal healthcare. But our government and media structure actively disempowers any such movements in that direction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And when the social sector lobbies it is called “special interests” by the press. When capital owners do it they are called “job creators” by the press.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Revenue is not the same as value, teachers enable much more economic activity than athletes. The fact we equate “profit generated” to the value of the profession is part of the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Was thinking about this in the context of a joke I heard in the late 90s:

  What do you call 100 lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start.

  We didn’t we have jokes like that about the billionaires; at the time people were glazing Bill Gates. It’s wild because billionaires are the ones writing the laws, lawyers just act it out.

  But maybe if I use AI I can be wealthy. Sure it is accelerating climate change and will undoubtedly cost lives, but that is a small price to pay for me to horde money like a dragon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft wants to replace its entire C and C++ codebase, perhaps by 2030⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m skeptical they could do it in a way that inherits stability from Linux. Imagine bolting on their service control on top of systemd or map their registry system to /etc. They either bring all the bad over to Linux or write something that doesn’t support the windows ecosystem.

  She didn’t even use the Bible as a source - did not mention a single verse. She basically using herself as the sole source because there are 0 citations.
