I want you to repeat that to yourself, slowly.

Is it just that you only care when it starts happening to you? Or is it just that since you do not know yet, you simply cannot know or care? Why not just shock your brain to forget everything that bothers you, you’ll be so happy!

whoooosh

it was sarcasm. TBF it wasn’t obvious, I wish we lived in a world when it still was.

Why don’t you ask your favorite AI to tell you what to think then?

Pretty easy to motivate your own learning:

1. Does your nation fund or is complicit in supporting Israel?
2. Are your tax dollars being used to vaporize children?
3. Now do you have an opinion, or at least are willing to watch a documentary or something?

Yeah but a fridge is actually useful

Does the organization include arresting anti-Netanyahu protesters? Has the DSA said anything about this?

I say kill it for good, leave an inch and they’ll take a mile

I’m waiting for the hip handheld shot video of Mamdani patting the cops on the back for a job done well (arresting his constituents protesting Netanyahu)

Only while driving at high speeds in residential neighborhoods

The notion that China, or the US, or really anybody is committing theft by utilizing technological innovations, is what should be being discussed here. Individual innovations themselves were never made in a vacuum. Design, or information at large, is not something that can be privately owned. We have patents to give the right to seek super profits to the lucky individual that invents a new tech/process. An immensely lucky individual, who may or may not have actually done the labor to make the patent but is nonetheless the owner of the slip of paper, was born to live with enough resources, in the right places, and born before it was already invented, of course. The innovations that we enjoy today are a result of countless nameless people tinkering and improving, not just a few brilliantly outstanding inventors, who then somehow are a result of the success of a whole nation.

If espionage and theft jumpstarting technologies are not “innovative”, I’ve got some news for you about the “innovative” examples of “good” capitalist businesses in the US. Who, by sheer coincidence, peddle the idea that Chinese industry is somehow “less advanced” than ours, yet who we still rely on to make “our” high tech commodities.

And is this soft power? We aren’t watching Chinese films and blanket idolizing Chinese culture, like with Japan. No, this is hard power in a sense, of material support. It just looks weird to you since you’ve only ever seen hard power in the form of existential domination.

Double it and pass it to the next

It is meant to be an accessible reading, meant for working class people. Go for it. I personally recommend Rosa Luxemburg’s writings.

Can AI become good (a moral term) under capitalism? By that vein, is oil “good” under capitalism? Harm to the people DNE bad for capitalism, unfortunately for us.

Don’t you know? Hell is when socialism and that’s bad :( Please, don’t trick me into sinning so I don’t go to heaven, which is also capitalism :)

Maybe (a) AI dystopia, climate collapse, the Great Clanker War, Singularity, etc. (b) Technofeudalism, 2-tier AI models, infinite rent extraction, feed the machine, climate collapse., etc. © revolutionize the means of production and distribution to prioritize planetary thermodynamic balance/cooling, human needs, ecological needs, get our fucking shit together. Or (d), classic nuclear Armageddon. Or something else. Trying to br hopeful out of spite, but not hopeful for luck.

Alright I’m throwing hands

Mr. FuzzyAss has given me a scratch to itch >:D I wonder though, I hear of talk about invasive species (I’m in NA), lanternflies, lady bugs, even cats and dogs.

But like… should I be squishing these guys? Lanternflies yes (I think), but idk, there’s a chance FuzzyAss is native so…

I wonder what the Top 3 are. I can’t remember the whole list lol

Ah, ah, ah, “we” decided?

You sound more informed than me, but that’s about where I’m at too lol. I couldn’t see where that infographic originally came from, but I’ve spent the day reading the Wikipedia articles on these guys. Supposedly, lady beetles from all over were introduced to kill aphid populations, to varying degrees of success. It ended up harming native populations more, ofc. I guess by being better at eating prey? (Skill issue?)
