I was deeply interested in … Zionist affairs and activities – or what was then called ‘Zionist,’ though the same ideas and concerns are now called ‘anti-Zionist.’ I was interested in socialist, binationalist options for Palestine, and in the kibbutzim and the whole cooperative labor system that had developed in the Jewish settlement there (the Yishuv) … The vague ideas I had at the time [1947] were to go to Palestine, perhaps to a kibbutz, to try to become involved in efforts at Arab-Jewish cooperation within a socialist framework, opposed to the deeply antidemocratic concept of a Jewish state (a position that was considered well within the mainstream of Zionism)

Quote from Chomsky, on wiki

Yes you did. You absolutely voted for this exact thing.

We knew it, and we tried to warn you over and over again.

If you automatically and by default call it slop, I’m going to assume your art is slop.

If you use AI as a tool to create art, then of course it’s art and you thought it up.

LLMs are just tools. It ain’t that complicated.

To me, it’s like saying cgi isn’t art because it takes away from using paint brushes or colored pencils or whatever. I don’t remember when computer graphics first started coming out, were people calling it CGI slop? Probably too long ago to know.

This is just capitalism, isn’t it?

Athletes and entertainers that make millions do so because people pay for it in large numbers. This is what capitalism wants and does.

I agree with your sentiment but I think you’re just critiquing capitalism. If I had my way these people would be taxed up the wazoo. No baseball player or Hollywood actor should ever be worth 10s of millions, let alone hundreds, or billions.

We have people with the mentality of spoiled school children leading the country.

China is not doing this out of kindness or altruism in any respects. They don’t care about people wanting to have kids. They’re doing it because they need more poor people to keep working and replenishing the poor workers, to prop up the elite class. Why can’t you see this?

Not isolated to China. Most western countries including the US have the same goals, it’s not altruistic.

Desperation?

People don’t want to have kids. I wonder why. Remember the laying flat movement and the 996 culture.

I wonder why.

If only there was an actual solution to this LOLOL…

Russia should completely denuclearize given the promise that nobody will ever invade in the future. We promise.

10 homes that are each 100 times larger than the average home.

This is fun.

Trump praising a self described socialist. A Muslim socialist at that.

I can feel the power of the reeeeee screeching of the still devoted MAGA cultists. Hook it to my veins.

They won’t necessarily kill or exterminate us. They’ll just let us die.

Fuck. That. Shit.

Why bother living?

I just don’t care enough to “just be alive” if it’s all spent working to make someone else rich.

You thought that, because you’re stupid, Joe.

Because you’re stupid.

Religion/superstition is the cancer of our species.

I’ve been there before. I notice it when I develop a tolerance to caffeine and it doesn’t wake me up.

Depending on how much you take, your withdrawal might really suck major. If you can afford to lose a weekend or any 2 day consecutively, go cold turkey those 2 days. You’ll lose those days cause you’ll feel like absolute shit when the headache kicks in. But then on Monday go back to caffeine but only around half of what you usually do per day. You’ll feel amazing getting the caffeine again after the cold turkey weekend, and you’re tolerance should go down. This has worked for me in the past.

Or wean slowly. Whatever works for you.

Those 2 days suck though. I love caffeine…
