So many terrible things are happening, people are overwhelmed and dazed and it’s hard to see what is Kakistocracy and what is Kleptocracy / disaster capitalism. It’s both and part of the strategy of course.

The only rational US news would be a call for revolution and overthrow of the regime. Any other news are therefor irrational and add to the confusion. Hence the confusion.

Oh right… Elon gets rid of all the competition and space startups that rely on NASA outsourcing their rockets, while he maintains his contracts they go bankrupt. Holy shit.

The extra stupid thing is that they’ll probably won’t save anything in the next 4 years anyways with how long timelines are for space planning. They’ll just waste an incredible amount of investment. This is just such petty and cruel retaliation against anything related to climate science.

They just enjoy smashing stuff others value for no reason.

Just to play devil’s advocate: Make a Disney movie where it’s a bomb sniffing dog who gets separated from his handler and then runs all the way back to America to find her again. How could anybody be against such a heartfelt story about bomb disposal? Woof woof!

That’s a very good take too. I just saw this video Why Justice for Ukraine AND Russia Goes Through South Africa which has another interesting take - that admission of guilt and confessing the truth towards the victim is sometimes better for reconciliation than a trial that is about the court prosecuting and the accused defending, denying and finding excuses. But I doubt that either is realistic in the near future.

It’s sort of surprising that this article gets so much backlash, since it’s just a rehash of the NYT article with a more critical analysis of the historical facts. And those facts aren’t even really something new - at least it was all suspected, now a bit more confirmed, or something the mainstream would see as problematic.

But I guess they can’t attack the facts presented by the venerable NYT so they take it out on the “far left” and “fringe” Aaron Mate.

At this point, I just want to see China arming Panama or Mexico or Venezuela to the hilt with modern weaponry, missiles and drones, and then when the USA invades them helps with constant logistics and satellite information of “points of interests”. We’ll see how the whole mainstream would defend this because they just had to liberate the poor people oppressed by those regimes there. That would be the equivalent to what the US, Nato and EU have been doing. Although I doubt China has any interest in such funny games.

So you think countries should recognize and punish themselves for “being the bad guys”?

I think people and journalists should be educated and informed so they can see it for the theater it is. If the people of a democracy can’t see the evil their own countries have been doing or do not have the means to change anything, then those leaders pointing the fingers at others for the same shit becomes nothing but a distraction.

This is just propaganda - how objective will this tribunal be when you know what kind of “wars of aggression” the UK, Israel or the US have done and are still doing?

And no this is not whataboutism - it’s about truthfulness and moral standing. Invasion if Iraq and Afghanistan, decades of foreign policies, occupation and oppression of Palestinians, meddling and regime change of countries. If it’s only a crime of aggression if the other side does it, then it’s simply a farce or a show trial that will not prevent future crimes of aggression.

You are first and foremost responsible for your own actions. And only then responsible for holding others responsible.

It seems you can run the full R1 on a 96GB ram gaming rig even without GPU. I have little practical experience because of my old PC but it seems both improvements to efficiency to run locally (at least for a group of people) and research about bias or poisoning is being done.

At least it’s open source and you can run it locally, and it’s more energy efficient. Give credit where credit is due. A truly independent AI group could simply fork and review it. And contrary to fascist talking points not all Chinese Researchers bow to the CCP.

Yes there is: Paradox of tolerance - Wikipedia. Fascist speech is fascist recruitment using lies. If you tolerate intolerant speech, soon you will no longer have tolerance. So if you want tolerance you must not tolerate speech that is meant to increase intolerance.

Well who doesn’t once they get older haha. But I seriously wish I wouldn’t have had a laptop or smartphone with keyboard and typed everything I learned as a question / answer flashcard. So I can review them. Some kind of flow inducing learning environment. Of course everyone learns differently, but I imagine there are huge gains possible with software and learning courses with current technology.

I hope that this is only a few misguided bureaucrats of the ÜPF, who wake up and notice that they make a big mistake.

I’ve only skimmed but it seems he’s only angry at specific bureaucrats. I don’t see anything too outrageous.

I suspect that computer scientists have a tendency to believe that all complex problems can simply be broken down into many small parts and solved once and for all. But that is because they enjoy thinking that way for writing code or solving computer problems, and they are not educated at all in sociology, economy, psychology or political science. There are those who seek power above anything else - and that is why we can’t have nice things or simple solutions.

He does come across a bit like a libertarian nutjob as if it’s up to the “captains of industry” to fight crime and care for the well-being of people. Except of course about the surveillance area he is right, the surveillance state has always and will always overreach. And organized crime and terrorists can always circumvent legal means of surveillance by faking or stealing identities.

You wish you would have been home schooled?

To be honest I’m disappointed we haven’t seen more progress into “VR schools” yet. Where you are fully submerged into a learning experience. While your blood is constantly analyzed and drugs to increase concentration and energy levels are dispensed. Ok maybe not the last part.

Now we know why those bastards got those tariffs!

It’s all fun and games posting extremist propaganda, until you hear that the christo-fascists in power right now actually do want to ban sodomy.

It is sad. Everyone is gloating, cheering on a possible conflict in the future. We’ve seen this kind of escalation and warmongering in 2013 in Ukraine. “Of course that country on the doorstep of our big geopolitical rival should be independent and join our military pact! Hahaha lololol!”

*in a silly high voice due to all the helium

Especially since the USA can’t do anything to coordinate the response of their industry, having fired their people and only relying on the market to sort it out. While China could systematically and rapidly invest in any industries and goods from the USA that now face retaliation tariffs in China or EU.

I guess this is a tactic to isolate China and break up a possibly alliance of countries acting in concert to combat these tariffs? Well it’s a trade war.
