The whole thing is giving me flashbacks to HBO’s Spartacus, which is basically porn with rape fetishes.

You think Xi has absolute power? Not even Mao had absolute power.

Ditto. And I love how wholesome the blahaj community is here on the fedi. Anyone got a problem with them has a problem with me.

“Let’s also advance someone who is less popular than our previous candidate for president.”

Somehow Newsome beat AI by 1 point in terms of positive impact.

Actually had a therapist introduce me to it. It can be a useful model, and if I were to boil it down to a single adage it would be: pay attention to how you talk to yourself. But I don’t think it is as simple as saying you contain a multitude, each part was developed to help the person survive and as you get older you might collect more parts and suppress others. It actually reminded me a bit of Lacan and the developmental stages.

Opiate addict I talked to said your body was never meant to feel that good. That stuff wrecked my brother (a different addict).

Okay, but why start the framing as a problem with China? Last I checked their carbon emissions have flatlined, if we were to shift that manufacturing home it would likely be more carbon intensive due to our own inefficiencies. We could import green infrastructure but we’re a failing petro-state so here we are…

When I see a response like this I am reminded of “Americans wanting to be right at the cost of doing what is good.” At a certain point you should ask what is the intention behind your words?

You know the Irish wouldn’t have starved so bad if the Brits didn’t insist they export all food that wasn’t potatoes. Let’s not use bad policies as an example for why we can’t have good policies.

Wake me when China invades a country because they have coal.

You both are right but one is more consequential. Let’s dive in:

Bombing Iran does not have bipartisan support, many Dems are voicing their opposition. The Dems even advanced a bill where the president would need congressional review to specifically bomb Iran in this instance.

The President making unilateral military decisions like bombing Iran does have bipartisan support. The Dems have not challenged it’s constitutionality or proposed significant changes on this front and instead go for a case by case congressional veto. This policy also aides in our genocidal program of Gaza…

Pssh, mine uses a random number generator for odd numbers to return true 4% of the time to achieve higher accuracy and a bettor LLM metaphor

No no, you see when you pay any amount beyond what is absolutely necessary to survive then you are spoiled by luxury. /S

They said send them, never said in what condition.

Someone is probably hawking AI driven backups as we type

That’s an incredibly reactionary take on technology. Look at how open source is qualitatively different from their proprietary counterparts for a clear example of how the base doesn’t just dictate how a tool is used, but how tools are made and how the constraints built into the tool effect how they are used.

I’ve read enough Marx to know the base dictates the shape of the superstructure which includes technology like LLMs.

What about planting trees to offset carbon? When does an artificial forest start to count as Geo engineering?

As if this technology isn’t a product and in service of capitalist relations. Go read Chomsky to see how CNC machines were designed in a way to strengthen capitalist control. gAI is being developed with the same business logic: eliminate jobs at the cost of quality and robustness.
