Yep that’s what I would expect. Infantile.

Authoritarianism is a meaningless term used by edgy children whose brains haven’t fully developed yet.

Authoritarian AF. lmao

The reality is that all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The reality is that all governments rely on coercion to maintain their authority. The state is fundamentally an instrument that’s used by the ruling class to maintain its dominance… Every government derives its authority from its monopoly on legal violence.

This is called authoritarianism, silly.

The whole notion that political systems can be neatly categorized into authoritarian or democratic binaries is deeply infantile.

Nobody is saying this except you. Infantile strawman.

The state, in Marxist theory, is not outside of class struggle, but is within it.

I found an authoritarian.

Authoritarian is a meaningless word… All states are authoritarian.

Lol ok. At least the second statement is accurate.

“private”

Maybe send an email to the mossad and ask them?

They’ll get like Alabama to give them free land and subsidies for a data center next to some poors.

As long as it doesn’t hack my Kodai. This super intelligent being has been faithfully serving me the best music, videos, and games. I’m so grateful for my best and smartest friend. \s

Laws are for poor people.

Empire has always entertained itself with trivialities while murdering people abroad. It’s a major foundation of “technology” in USA, although not nearly as important as the MIC.

Does anyone really believe that “AI” can replace sex work experts?

I use more post-enshittification tech. I’ve replaced most of the apps on my phone with open source versions.

I’ve never used proprietary software on my Linux computers so there’s no enshittification there. But I have stopped using my enshittified android TV in favor of Kodi on Linux.

Ok cool… But what about the other factor?

PTB. That comm is liberal garbage that’s supportive of fascist attacks. No surprise they’re pushing sketchy news.

Don’t even look at my random wire collection.

Kodi. Why just stream when you can have movies/TV, IPTV, games, Podcasts, youtube, BandCamp, Mixcloud, weather, etc… I’m pretty sure there are addons for Netflix and that kind of proprietary stuff for people with accounts.

I recommend compiling from source for latest/fastest. It can be a project to set everything up, but I’ve been loving mine since I got it rolling.

I’m using a Flirc too. Highly recommend.

The main difference is that rockets are expressly for the purpose of murdering people, so I would argue that the research shouldn’t be continued or done at all.

Fortunately I’m pretty sure that people developing these computer programs are serious about trying not to murder people - even if just for legal reasons.

How do you measure that?

The other day I did a google search for a basic JavaScript function. Gemini gave me almost the exact function that I needed. Should I have closed my eyes or smashed my head with a hammer until I forgot? Ofc I used it. It was the first result, helpful, and easy.

I don’t believe in “AI” since it doesn’t exist, but these augmented or summarized searches can definitely be helpful. I imagine it’s the same with other LLMs, search engines, etc.

People are begging to regulate “AI” when it doesn’t even exist and there’s not even an objective definition.

Absolute recipe for failure or worse.
