I mean 60 min was literal disinformation. Just typical liberal warmongering. Anyone listening to actual analysts would tell you that the US empire wants to get out of the Ukraine war and it’s not just Trump. And they started by dumping the cost of the war on Europe. If Europe is this stupid, let the fuckwits pay for it.

That’s what Trump is saying in that first cut segment. Or trying to say lol.

“Even a 14 year old shit coder can use AI to port a console game to PC”

Fuckai: Doesn’t look like anything to me

Yeah but can you separate Hamas from the struggle of people for liberation from imperialist oppression?

Can you?

People still can’t imagine it yet, because “muh 911 never forget” but Islam isn’t even the driving force behind this struggle, because that too is a political struggle for liberation from imperialist oppression. It’s the religion or ideology that glues these people together as brothers and gives them the mental fortitude (or delusion) to pull this off. I say this as an atheist who isn’t especially fond of Muslims. But they rightfully want the US empire out of their region, and the natural resources like oil working for the people, not the US (like it does in Iran, or it did in Venezuela before the recent economic warfare and plundering). Of course drone strike them enough and they become more and more extreme. A thousand 911s and “interventions” and psyops visited on the middle east will lead to some bad shit. Now they found an extremist for Syria that can be bought. Worst of both worlds. US Empire and Al-Qaeda, now inseparable lol.

So while you think this is progressive politics, this actually cuts pretty close to the kerfuffle about voting democrat or third party or not at all. Which is a psyop that those people are your enemies, not the plutocrats who buy votes in bulk. But even you ultra progressive slogans are pro US empire. Not even in your wildest dreams can you imagine a just world.

How totalitarian of you. Assuming stewardship of how people are allowed to express themselves politically and creatively. You must be like the enlightened block warden of the super duper ethical state of extra liberty. And who cares about truth anymore anyway when you can cut society into tiny pieces and shit hate all day.

But you do need to build a new bus. You should start talking about how to stop the bus, let out the passengers, then setting fire to it.

Meanwhile: .ML BAD

Result: 4 vote to drive off the cliff but in different directions.

Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of SpaceX’s Starlink satellite service that Ukraine relies on

HOW? StarSHIELD is a separate satellite network under US military control and with additional capabilities. Musk can’t order the US military around. That’s a ridiculous claim without explaining how he would do this, and without addressing the sheer madness of how this would be allowed.

The whole reporting around this relies on confusing and conflating Starlink with Starshield. This is honestly disinformation because it leaves readers more disinformed about how starlink / starshield is used. Which allows the preposterous claim to go unchallenged and people eating it up.

Also, no globally operating civilian satellite network should ever be used for war.

They should use the new 24% faster “hollow-core fiber” that China developed.

Sorry I just realized now that the link pointed to the stupid thumbnail, not the actual article…

Healthcare is being run as a business with “just in time” supply and demand, overworking the workers who are willing to work overtime to save patients, cutting fat and trimming operations until it is a lean machine that when you take anything away would sputter. That is the ideal neoliberal image of healthcare. We saw how that worked out with Covid. Some areas should be inefficient and have “fat”.

And of course the burocracy mandated by private insurance.

25k€. It’s insane to me how expensive European EVs are. How did they fuck this up so badly?

Yes it was a joke, sorry. The propaganda video about “downloading a car” was an incredibly stupid but massive campaign and in hindsight incredibly successful in influenced attitudes.

I don’t think any discussion is useful because I am fundamentally and radically opposed to turning intellectual ideas or works into “property” and it’s abhorrent and obscene to me. There are other and better ways to fund or reward artist’s work. Naturally I hate patents even more. They also delay market adoption for climate change solutions by 20 years. A crime against humanity! And no, that one is not a joke.

The worst thing that fuckai could lead to is help legitimize some kind of “IP tax” for use of AI models, which would as a side effect make it illegal piracy to use any open weight models. Then big tech gets to monopolize AI in the west. They can afford the tax. But we’ll forever be limited and dependent in making use of LLM models.

It’s not like I’m excited about it either. I’d much rather they believed in socialism. But this is about fundamental questions. Like: Should a politician serve the wellfare of the people and build a better future for them?

If you could get the democratic or republican politicians to speak the truth, I’m convinced about 99% of them would say no. They don’t really have any ideological framework backing them any more except the neoliberalism as an absence of any moral responsibility. Because they have been selected and filtered by a process for this. Voters don’t even really expect them to either. So there is a fundamental quality missing.

Religion might force me to eat some shit but actually lived religion that is not performative or corrupted profit scheme like evangelism does force some politicians to have a minimum of humanity. Like rejecting nuclear weapons on the basis that they are morally wrong.

Then about the “steal” argument:

You wouldn’t download an argument, would you? Or would you? What, you’re reading this in your browser without authorization from me?? FBI, open up!!!

The point is that fuckai aims to outright villanize people who use AI, although in a proper democratic society we would have massively invested in nuclear and renewables.

The principles would be “If a material good or service can be produced ethically but is only not produced ethically due to profit maximizing which the individual has no power over, then the individual is not ethically responsible for using or boycotting it”.

Or said simpler, the whole fuckai demagoguery is misdirecting anger that should go towards capitalism and especially neoliberal capitalism against people just trying to exist in the fucking system.

Yeah. People in the west can’t imagine ideology or religion seriously influencing politics any more. A sort of cynical post-democratic world view. But that’s just false, the religious fatwa against mass destruction of human life is actually believed. Westeners simply can’t imagine people thinking different any more.

And if not that, Iran just showed their strongest weapon and that is cutting off oil flow. Having a nuclear weapon doesn’t help them much - who could they realistically threaten with it? Like even in this current war they couldn’t realistically threaten to use nukes against anybody. And it would lead to more states in the region also wanting nuclear weapons so overall it could be bad for them.

PS: Just to add, I don’t agree with Iran on questions of gender equality and LGB(T)Q rights. But even as an atheist I’ve started to prefer a theocracy to a neoliberal pseudo-democracy where they believe in nothing.

Thanks for correcting. But overall the trend rapidly goes upwards year by year for china.

The more general argument would be that you can’t blame an individual for systemic ills, which has been done to death for climate change and tried to turn it into personal responsibility. We do not live in true democracies but capitalist societies. And we can’t be expected to “opt out of the system”. If something could be implemented in a way that is ethical but isn’t because the ruling plutocrats make more profit that way, this is not the individuals fault. This demonization of people for using AI is unethical and a strategic blunder in a fight for liberation and ultimately only serves to shield specifically neoliberal capitalism from critique.

Alternatively reddit is done using you lol. Welcome to lemmy!

Most tokens sold come from China today and open weight models, and most (EDIT) 42% of energy produced in China is from clean sources like nuclear or renewables. Don’t blame AI for ethics or lack thereof in neoliberal capitalism and a lack of planning or regulations. China also has the most and smartest regulations on AI so far.
