Yeah right, of they’re buying thousands of terrabytes, I doubt they’re doing in in 1 TB HDD SATA drives.

- Comment on The U.S. Deported This Chinese Scientist, in a Decision That Changed World History 2 weeks ago:
The implications of that single deportation are staggering: Dr. Qian returned to China and immediately persuaded Mao Zedong to put him to work building a modern weapons program. By the decade’s end, China tested its first missile. By 1980, it could rain them down on California or Moscow with equal ease. Dr. Qian wasn’t just rightly christened the father of China’s missile and space programs; he set in motion the technological revolution that turned China into a superpower.
The American rightwing is The West’s biggest liability.

That’s cool, ideally the white supremacists don’t have the skills or awareness to replace them.

They believe that by going after Tim Walz there’ll cause a Tim Travel event.
- Comment on How often do you change your towels? 3 weeks ago:
My bathroom faces a very sunny window so heats up every day… I wash myself dry my clean self with the towel, then it dries with the sun.
The result is it doesn’t get particularly dirty or left wet for particularly long.
- Comment on Rob Pike Goes Nuclear over GenAI 3 weeks ago:
I mean democracy has never been real in The West. It always operates and constrains popular media, and cultural forces to constrain the resistance to Capitalism.
It’s always coopted and cooperative with the forces of wealth and repression. So yeah, yell this shit on social media, maybe one day a diluted form will appear on CNN or NBC, but there’s no way it will go farther than that.
We’re along for the ride, censored, confined, robbed of time, money, power and lifeforce… And only existing to be used in someone else’s dreams of wealth extraction and labour exploitation.

AI is a parasite.

We also know science misinformation is a good thing, and nothing could go wrong from joking about the earth being flat.
- Comment on fediverse punk month 3 weeks ago:
I’m fine with downvotes, but often the problem with the left is not enough money… And it’s understandable if they’re always anti corporations and anticapitalist.
But… It would be good to have more rich leftists and punks. They could treat workers better with stock sharing (like that Chobani company did that one time), or by letting the workers have more time off, or just have the company (making it a worker owned coop)… Or in a much more centist way, like Mark Cuban (probably not a leftist) making generic medicines more accessible.
I’m just saying, a punk complaining about “corporate media” whilst valid, also feels cliche, and like a pathway to apathy, defeat, and being fairly voiceless in comparison to that corporate media (which is often loud, prevalent, and leans right).
What if instead - there was a Punk company, that WAS a media “corporation”? They could push punk messages all the time, whilst being a source of money, art, culture, and sustainable messaging and events.
I think that could be more punk, than the great traditions of amazing zines, in runs of 20 - 50 or less… and Yelling into a microphone and calling it music.
I guess all punks of action must become antiheros, and no corporation can be completely without heirachy…
…you know what, forget I said anything.

If you’re gonna include 23 skidoo… You should include being at sixes and sevens:

…but also, where is 1337? The comic is not 1337 enough.

Anthropic installed an AI-powered vending machine in the WSJ office.
Okay, so this feels like advertising.

Right I’m supposed to dislike this guy, because of his look… But in actuality I feel bad for him for being picked for this meme.
- Comment on Most Americans see higher prices for groceries and electricity, poll finds 5 weeks ago:
Taxes are deflationary, which means tax avoidance is inflationary… As are price hikes, gouging and profiteering.
The wealthy, and the wealth disparity causes inflation.
- Comment on Person of the Century 5 weeks ago:
It’s an outrageous stealing of working class imagery. Everyone of these CEOs would fire any worker low enough to be doing manual labor. Those people are faceless and without context or circumstances to these people.
- Comment on Report Exposes Instacart's Hidden AI Price Experiments That Could Cost Families $1,200 Per Year 5 weeks ago:
The profit motive, price gouging, and auctions are all inflationary. They raise prices.
As governments fall in love with these things and care less about the free market, fair competition, and price regulation - you’re going to see more inflation.
When companies decide they just need a few high end customers to sell a premium product to, rather than compete for the majority - you’re going to see inflation.
- Comment on Suddenly all of Lemmy 5 weeks ago:
It’s a lame thing that happens now and then and feels orchestrated like it’s an attempt to brand lemmy as “quirky” or like early reddit.
It’s sort of like watching someone who doesn’t understand what a joke is come up with a meme.
