Your "perfect" is a massive enemy of the "good" that is GrapheneOS compared to using stock Android.

Their point is, would you be able to prompt your way to this result? No. Already trained physicists working at world-leading institutions could. So what progress have we really made here?

I think you fundamentally misunderstand what the role of the police is. They protect property, the owning class, and the status quo. Laws are just a tool for them to do that. Equal justice for all is not a goal for them, and AI will not pro

Not only is this incredibly naive, it misses that whole "consent of the governed" thing. I don't want AI involved in policing. They are bad enough and have so little accountability without "computer says so" to fa

You can regulate power imbalances though, which is what every individual has versus a multinational with vast resources.

If you want to target a demographic, ask the experts.

Except the whole "as long as they are conducting it properly" part isn't actually true.

Dharma Bums is my favorite Kerouac book, and I've read most of his. Bonus points if you have even a passing interest in Zen.

I am anti-capitalist and exploitation. And I don't think any anti-capitalist person can be pro-AI, not the way it's currently constructed. But people on a startup forum tend to lose their minds if you say you're against eithe

Like the OP, you misunderstand the entire point of the Luddites. Breaking the machines was not an end, it was the tactical means to help illustrate their broader point of how the owning class can arbitrarily ruin their entire lives and live

by Refreeze5224 8mo ago
And you clearly don't understand the core issue the Luddites have if you think it was just about breaking stuff for leverage.

Which makes the comparison of modern anti-AI proponents (like myself) and Luddites even more apt and accurate.

ICE has been going around without judicial, as opposed to administrative, warrants, relying on threats and coercion to be let in and to arrest people. That's what this probably is.

Maybe this will finally wake up all the people working for, building, and and enabling ad-tech and surveillance capitalism. Probably not, but we can hope. You're not just an "engineer" for Facebook or Google at this point. Yo

Markets are anti-human. Any economic system not designed for the well-being of human beings is anti-human. "Living standards" is a concept the owning class uses to justify their obscene wealth and promulgation of a system solely f

What is the solution? You imply that it is just to quit using it, but then you mention how super-addictive social media and especially TikTok is. Which it is, by design, by very smart people who very intentionally exploit every aspect of hu

You're not ok with a security/privacy tool using defensive techniques because of ... the lack of fiber in Africa?

Then stop hiding behind "nuance" and be more explicit about how you support what's going on. Everyone who disagrees with the ongoing blatant fascist police state activity do not lack nuance, they lack your ability to suppress

You seem to have forgotten why those things happened. It was the Nazi salutes Elon did at an official US government event.

Based on this description, you could say that what the CEO does in no way resembles what real work looks like for 90% of the population. Which I think is true. It's a pity they make so much more than people who do actual work.

He's not upset that someone sent him an AI-generated thank you. He's upset about AI itself . And he's completely right.

I agree. The goal of AI is to reduce payroll costs. It has nothing to do with IDEs or writing code or making "art". It's meant to allow the owning class to pay the working class less, nothing more. What it *can* do is irrelev

You sure about that? https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2025/12/18/larry-bushart... Every slide towards authoritarianism is gradual, there is no announcement.

Who cares if you don't like his analogy? His point is that this is a violation of the 1st Amendment. Which, by the way, does not mention anything about content being known or not.

This is fascism. Stick your heads in the sand all you want, whine about how "overused" that phrase is all you want, but fascism is exactly what we are facing in the United States.

That's a whole lots of words to say that the people of HK don't get any say in how their lives are run, and that it's justified to force them into a situation they don't want. That's a crock of shit, and I suspect y
