A decent portion of it yes. Several ships of Jewish refugees turned away. There was even a plot to install their own authoritarian furer by deposing FDR. Unfortunately a lot of the details were lost to history due to FDR’s wheeling and dealing. Blackmailing the guilty parties in Congress to pass the new deal.But look up the business plot. The lot of them should have been publicly hung.

It is indeed. Chum on Irene was a real hopper.

We had our chance in the 1930s and 40s. We failed back then. And with things even more stacked now there’s no chance. I’d like to be surprised. But everyone is still sleepwalking to be sure.

Billionaires are buying up years worth of future supply. Not just current supply. It’s not going to be different. If they sell outside China. This will be slurped up just the same.

The only thing that will save us from the tech oligarchs is their collapse.

No no no. Don’t you see! They saved us by being shit.

Didn’t they say they were just going to sell at whatever the market value was? I’m not sure capitalist China is coming to anyone’s rescue. 🤷‍♂️

Yep her being a disciple of Peter Thiel and Elon Musk. That’s pretty much the one thing you can count on her for.

Not going to make evaluation of the statements made in the video. They may or may not have merit. But Sabine Hossenfelder is a bad messenger. With a history of false, unsupported and bigoted statements.

It’s not a defense of AI. It’s a pushback on your hysterical flailing against all forms of it. And your inability to engage rationally on the subject. Case in point you hand wavingly deny my point while providing a list of evidence to support it.

If you are going to protest the current deployment of AI, the AI isn’t the problem. The actual issue is the grifting petit bourgeoisie looking to gate keep it as they continue to grift. Destroying everyone and everything in their path. You’ve shown that you know the generative AI isn’t what it’s sold as. But oddly you attack those that technically agree with you, simply because they won’t histrionically flip flop between that and all AI bad!!!1!!ONE!

No, it’s a literal analog. There will still be people operating AI. Even using your own terminology is literally the same.

And I don’t even know where you’re going with the last part. I suggest you familiarize yourself with what AI is actually capable of. The biggest danger of AI is not that it hallucinates more than someone tweaking on meth. But that people dumb and tweaking on meth with too much power will take what it says as gospel. Your liable to make the people in the marketing Departments of these AI companies cum with how badly misrepresenting what these AI are capable of. The same AI that some companies fire their workforces for and are now humiliatedly hiring them back. Because the AI wasn’t capable of what it was sold as.

You are confusing capitalism and ai. AI is just a tool. Capitalist will use any tool it can to hurt labor. This is currently born out by history recent and ancient. The luddites attacked the looms not because they were evil. But because the bourgeoisie were using them to exclude and attack labor.

Heh well that was relatively popular. The other two are kind of reviled or unknown? Which was intended as a tongue in cheek way of stating that if they didn’t make any more money from this day forward they’d still be just fine lol.

At this point they could absolutely live off the residuals from Baseketball or Orgasmo and still be just fine with what they’ve got in the bank.

Had an ancient Core 2 duo laptop. 4 gigabytes of ddr2 RAM. And 256 GB spinning rust hard drive, no webcam, and a native resolution just barely above 720p. Attach a cheap $30 720p projector and Bluetooth shower speaker. Toss Haiku beta r6 on it. Project on the tile above the bathtub. Perfect for some basic authentic shitposts and watching some YouTube while soaking in some Epsom salts.

I solved that issue by having a computer in nearly every room. I may have a problem. But I prefer to call it a hobby LOL.

Fair enough yeah. Myself I don’t mind loading up the ADF and just clicking scan in skanpage. But everyone has the workflow that works for them. And that’s valid

To a point. In order to make informed decisions. People first need to be informed. The advent of the printing press and rising literacy rates set back wishful oligarchs for a few centuries.

By the late 20th century they were starting to get a handle on it with broadcast media. Shaping and contorting the “truth” into a mockery. By the 21st century algorithms and tightened control made it nearly impossible to escape sensationalist framings or outright lies for normal people. And now with AI they can effectively flood the zone. So that short of a revolution or mass awakening. Even trying to avoid the propaganda, it will still seep in simply because IT IS EVERYWHERE.

I have 30-year-old scanners that work perfectly under linux. I bought a scanner last month for my mother which also works perfectly under Linux. Is there just some special feature of the software that you need? Or does the scanner just truly not work under Linux?

Aw damn
