It's great it can do that. But it in no way justifies the social and environmental costs of AI, which is the point of the article.

You are misunderstanding basic political terminology then, if you think it's somehow odd that leftists are against Democrats. Democrats and Republicans are both capitalists and liberal in the classical sense, both of which leftists opp

Nope. They know their business model is not sustainable, so they are trying to prop it up before their IPOs.

Fuck that indeed. The buck should stop, and prison sentences should start, with the highest paid employee.

"Hesitancy" about heliocentricity isn't new either, and yet we've sent out a solar probe. Willfully ignoring science will never get old, it seems.

So in this example, the equivalent of Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people fighting for their lives and the very existence of their country for Dario is... losing lots of money? What a ridiculous analogy to make.

We have an 8 hour workday, and women's suffrage, thanks to "terrorism", as you call it.

Of course they did. The president wants them to, he complains about mail-in voting (despite doing it himself yearly...), and thinks it helps his opponents. He also picked the postmaster general. None of this is news, and none of it is a con

Privacy absolutely should be a human right. But currently it isn't, and part of why is there is lots of money to be made with surveillance on ordinary people. And things will not change unless the people who exploit the privacy of othe

I don't. But I do think the CEO of a company who sells spying as a service to cops should have a taste of his own medicine.

Absolutely nothing about how the Supreme Court works nowadays has respect for standard process or decorum. It's merely a shield to hide behind when it's convenient, to be ignored when it's useful.

He doesn't have a view on trade deficits. To imply he does is giving him far too much credit. The "most powerful person on earth" in charge of the United States fundamentally doesn't understand trade deficits or tari

Sort of. They were not campaign slogans though. They were battle cries, by militant labor, insisting on what they deserved.

This smells of a system working as designed. Cops exist to protect property, capital, and the status quo. The people whom they actually exist to serve have no issue using tax dollars for this purpose.

You don't have to go as far back as the French Revolution. Labor unions in the late 19th and early 20th century fought pitched battles against the exploitative billionaire equivalents of their day, and it was much easier for the rich t

The 4th Amendment exists to make the cops' job harder. Full stop. I do not care how much easier it is for them to do their jobs because of invasive surveillance, both because it's a violation of rights, and because they cannot be

It is a fundamental feature of capitalism. There is an inherent tension between employers and workers, in that workers represent a cost center that can never be totally eliminated, and has a lot of undesirable features, such as: being alive

In today's age of exclusive capitalism? There is no worker ownership of the means of production. If you can't use a mine to get some coal, or use some tools to make widget, or use a GPU to do inference I guess, then you don't

Shares are not the means of production. They are a mutually agreed upon fiction and sit firmly within the realm of capitalism.

For the billionth time already, socialism is not "when the government does it." Using the government to increase your capital and become even richer is standard capitalism. Altman is not now and will not ever relinquish any means

I wonder at what level you could enforce/how far you could take the idea of "don't allow invalid states to be represented" to a programming language, to prevent this kind of language debauchery. C does seem to sit at the
