No, they’re looking at what life for regular people is like udner a capitalist regime.

And claiming that people stuck together in spite of the government is a real galaxy brain take there bud. The reality is that GDR’s socialist policies eliminated unemployment, provided cheap housing and childcare, and guaranteed basic necessities for everyone, which created material security is what allowed neighbors to look out for each other instead of competing for survival as they are forced to do under capitalism. The community you remember was a direct outcome of a system designed to put human needs above profit.

The wall was a defensive measure against a fascist West that was actively trying to undermine the GDR economically and politically as has been documented beyond all doubt. Meanwhile, the ransacking you witnessed after 1990 proved exactly what the GDR was protecting its citizens from. Dismissing all of that as rose-colored glasses is truly the height of intellectual dishonesty.

It’s always the people who got theirs and have zero empathy for the needs of others who praise the transition to capitalism in post Soviet states. You’re all telling on yourself there.

Glorification of the German Democratic Republic is on the rise two decades after the Berlin Wall fell. Young people and the better off are among those rebuffing criticism of East Germany as an “illegitimate state.” In a new poll, more than half of former eastern Germans defend the GDR.

there’s never enough time sadly 😢

that would be amazing

there’s a serious nostalgia vibe to it, reminds us of simpler times :)

It’s also notable that the decline in worker rights neatly coincides with the fall of USSR when the main alternative system was finally eliminated and we had the whole end of history moment.

that’s incredible

You really gotta work on that reading comprehension of yours because what I explained to you is that there was imply no time to distill the glorious American models. So, the explanation simply does not hold. But please continue braying without actually reading what I wrote.

or at least yuan 🤣

🥱

The only way I see this is happening is through mass movements like MAS in Bolivia who are able to organize at scale, do general strikes, and drive western puppets out of power.

hating AI has become their entire identity for a lot of people

Decades of incrementalism is precisely how the US got to the spot where Trump has become a viable political figure.

yeah the models are tiny, just 2b https://huggingface.co/collections/Qwen/qwen3-tts

thank you for taking your valuable time away from huffing gas to share your insights with the world little dronie

I guess everything is a joke to a clown.

First of all, that’s obviously false. Second of all, go look at unemployment rates in USSR. You literally have no clue regarding the subject you’re attempting to debate here. However, even your whole premise is insane. We shouldn’t strive to do work for the sake of work. Automating toil away so people can spend their lives in a self directed fashion is unarguably a good thing. You’re just arguing for having what David Graeber called bullshit jobs here.

Automation is very obviously not inherently anti-labor. The way automation is used under capitalism is, but I didn’t really expect any deep intellectual insights from you.

Ah yes, automation is anti-labor you are very intelligent.

Yup, a month is a good first checkpoint for a project. People tend to get really excited early on, but then they either get bored and move on, or start running into some hard problems they didn’t anticipate. If somebody can work on a project for a month in sustained fashion, there’s good chance they’re actually using it themselves and will have the motivation to keep going.
