Well most of it not really fear mongering, more like Americans are slowly waking up to the realization that consolidating the nations wealth to a few dozen people is not healthy for the country nor democracy. Especially when you see what bi

Does accelerating biological and medical discovery require over a trillion dollars of capital to be misallocated while Americans do not have medicare for all or universal childcare? Who is exactly going to benefit here because Americans hav

Oh course it does, why wouldn't it work this way in regards to computer science? Are we seriously going to go back to a time where numbers were considered munitions?

Material outcomes are the only thing that matters, not personal wants or wishes. If you worked as an accountant for Epstein after 2006, then yeah you may not be exactly a pedophile but you have shown you're okay with not only working w

Very interesting, never heard the term before but are there more philosophical concepts tying in the ideas of solidarity and labor movements? Thanks for sharing the paper. Going to read it tonight, the abstract is very interesting.

They won't reflect, these people literally have no morales. The only thing they value is money and giving teenage girls depression. edit: sorry but if you purposely to chose to work at Meta after 2016 you clearly have zero morals and a

They'll likely just take all the various enterprise contracts to help inflate SpaceX earnings, that's the only reason why you'd buy this if you were Musk. Need to help keep the lie going as long as you're still alive.

If you don't understand how elites have used the US military to strong arm their holdings throughout the world, IDK what to tell you. US imperialism is a real thing that has existed for the last 120+ years, it has also only benefited a

This is too generous, they aren't even filling in the holes.

Agreed, but at their current prices Deepseek + GLM are clear winners in my book. This weekend I spent $5 between the two where as I'd probably have to pay $20-30 to Anthropic (and that's still with the massive VC subsidies). For w

You should check out "Four Futures" by Peter Frase. This would be the "extermination" future and like you I think it's the most likely one without extreme counteraction.

The US government has two political parties that are both entirely opposed to expanding the welfare state. Both parties are against medicare for all [1]. Both parties are against universal childcare [2]. Both parties are against free studen

Yeah but there's a good chance they didn't cause the death of millions, reintroduce the screwworm fly into the US, or force millions of people to starve or have a degraded life.

I'm a nerd that codes and I shun the vast majority of tech workers that continue to sell out humanity for a paycheck. Maybe take some time and consider the political economical ramifications of the industry because it has been a net ne

I thought Salesforce had a few activist investors on the board that wanted the company to stop all acquisitions and focus on the core product. Whatever happened to them? Did they bounce after they hit a payday? Company is down 30% YTD and S

We literally can't do anything dude, what are you advocating for? That we have an armed rebellion to legislate the people's laws under a workers tribunal? I'm really curious what country you live in because it's one that

Seriously, these people have zero solidarity with their fellow humans. If they had any they wouldn't be working at one of the most evil companies on the planet.

If you can't appreciate or understand what a substantial effort it was to reduce poverty in China, then you aren't a serious person worth paying attention to. It's literally the economic question of the century and something

I mean the logic is simple but people don't want to admit it, you must pay the vig if you want in on the action. Before this type of naked corruption would take the form of boardroom seats/book deals/speaking gigs after you l

People are doing something, the issue with you two's extremely poor thinking is that lack of inaction means no one cares. What it actually represents is the massive growing disparity between the political class and average Americans. T

This is a poor way of framing the question, a better one would be can you find me another world power that is misallocating trillions of capital in vaporware with very little to show for it?

You need to read Empire of AI by Karen Hao. Just because these leaders convince their workers to toil away their lives under some fake auspice doesn't mean it's what they all believe. Just a small subset. The vast majority just ca

No, you would say passes both houses of Congress in that case. Just don't like the immediate dismissal of the people's House when it comes to government affairs. When Congress does something it's important, regardless of the

I disagree, especially if we are talking about potentially hundreds of billions in waste. How much better would say software be if instead of Meta wasting $100billion on Reality Labs we gave one time $100,000 grants to open source developer
