It’s not a stretch, it’s entirely false.

It’s like saying that Microsoft Windows is open source because you can run the binaries on your own computer.

At best it’s a misunderstanding of what open source is, at worst it’s a wilful misinterpretation to try and paint these models in an undeserved better light.

Sex with minors isn’t a thing. It’s called rape.

I agree, the big corporations, their CEOs, their shareholders, and their employees should follow in the exact same footsteps as Aaron Swartz. All of them.

That isn’t the AI tech getting pumped with money. We’ve done folding at home for decades, for example. Has venture capital backed that? No. So sit down and read what I said again.

Yeah. No one is arguing against tools that’d give us more free time, that’d help cure diseases, and make the world a better place. What we’re getting is mass-surveillance, economic instability, larger social rifts, and environmental destruction.

No one who hasn’t been deceived by fascist capitalist propaganda will be for these things.

This is just more AI cooker stuff from a billionaire octagonarian.

Who is so disconnected from reality he doesn’t know the cost of groceries.

Companies face backlash for slop, and you’re here all “it’s what the people want!” Get real.

I just kind of assumed that stingrays were capable of parthenogenesis.

Did a cursory search and this was the first result which put a dampener on the whole situation unfortunately.

History is written by the victors, and the luddites lost. That’s why they’re maligned as backwards idiots who didn’t want tech to succeed.

They weren’t stupid. They knew precisely what was going to happen, and did their best to stop it. Generally they took care to target only machines as their goal wasn’t to harm people but to remain employed, and have money to survive with. Naturally there were exceptions, and sometimes people did get hurt.

But then, the bourgeoisie enacted law to prevent this where destroying mechanical looms became punishable by… oh let’s see…

The act, as passed, made the destruction of mechanised looms […] a capital felony (and hence a crime punishable by death).

Right! Death! Destruction of company property became punishable by death.

And people did die. Children died. Mind you, back then workers were anyone capable of working, and they had no rights. They didn’t vote for the people who passed this act; workers weren’t supposed to have a voice, and so the only recourse was rebellion.

This didn’t stop things immediately, there’s quite a lot of really cool worker history here, but eventually the government sent in the military and couple that with nothing really changing despite widespread rebellion, the luddite movement fizzled out.

I’m still not American, but thank you.

Are you advocating suicide? That’s rather bold.

Right, one despot for another. Would you like some bubonic plague, or would you prefer cholera?

I have daily voice calls, usually several times a day.

Seems like my country has mostly moved back to offices now though and finding remote contracts is tough. Man I miss the pandemic. Not the death and suffering, just the compassion some people showed others. Sure there was a lot of people who just lost their minds entirely, but I feel like the overall sense of community was better back then.

What I’m fucking sick of is having to eat this turd soup even though I don’t even live in that shithole country. If the U.S. must leak their turd soup all over the world, then the rest of the world should get to vote as well.

It’s sad and ugly. Dinosaurs are fuckin’ awesome, and these cunts are doing a shit job at appropriating them.

Hardly surprising that slop bros have no taste. I’m not an artist and it’s not exactly difficult to point out the flaws with that logo. Someone could’ve stopped it, but they didn’t care enough.

I highly doubt they have the money for that, unfortunately. I believe our best bet is to press politicians into action.

If the U.S. blew this up, I’d concede that the U.S. actually does help the world from time to time.

I don’t get what you were supposed to do with a plug and an adapter.
