You need to get out of your SV big tech bubble and go attend your local planning board meeting, the vast majority of the public hates this technology. It's literally killing members in their community and ruining the ecology. The quest

No one serious is arguing it will destroy the world (outside of LLM companies using these people as free marketing), the real critics argue that this is going to weaken labor while all the benefits go to the few capitalists and nothing ulti

I mean this is a nice sentiment but it's both not only unrealistic for the vast majority of people, it's something that only a privilege few can actually achieve. People go to school because they want a better life, the only path

Don't bother with the slop lovers, these people are anti-human in their souls and willing to follow the most evil people on Earth to the depths of hell; for what? I have zero idea but it's sad to see.

They do this because the UK is a failing nation state (it's poorer than the USA state of Missouri) that needs to make goodwill with any country willing to trade with it. So of course they will go full tilt into USA branch of neoliberal

Yeah are we all forgetting that VC valuations are based on hope and unicorn farts? Just because you give a company $100 billion doesn't turn it into a $900 billion company. Especially when said company has only generated $5billion in t

Does it take a phd in psychoanalysis to not see that the company that has been marketing the fuck out of lame publicity stunts, to not take advantage of another publicity stunt? Good lord, no wonder the public hates tech workers.

Wow as far as you know? That settles it then! Just ignore this: https://www.flyingpenguin.com/wheres-ed-anthropic-told-court...

Yeah! Why would the company that stands to make themselves look better in front of an IPO do such a thing?! Next thing you're going to tell me was that this whole rewrite was another marketing ploy to help potentially turn themselves i

The companies realize this, your mistake is expecting capitalists to not exploit labor. If you want actual improved working conditions, there is only one path that has proven to work and it involves organizing with other workers while resis

That conventional wisdom is pretty racist bro, which neoliberal convinced you otherwise?

That absolutely does not justify in taking a 50% vig, good lord.

1. Get hired into a company where you have a solid bet on making multi-century lasting generational wealth (>$50,000,000). 2. Every waking moment do everything in your power to boost the company that might give you the ability to define

Outcomes matter, when both people are leading you to undemocratic societies why should I care about their messaging when both result in worse material lives for 100s of millions of people?

If you want to help these new Democratic candidates, many are primary challengers that could use your help. I work on several Senate and Congressional campaigns, you wouldn't believe how impactful something as a simple well designed st

What fantasy world do you live in? I want to be there, the world I'm everything granted to the public is always under constant attack and threatened to be destroyed and their proponents destroy and their benefactors humiliated.

I had no idea the on-going costs of physical things did not decrease over time, what an interesting thing to know. Here I thought that after you build the building and paid off the building, then for funsies also bought all the land surroun

Why wouldn't it be in the elite's interests? You're acting like we don't have an entire written history of elites throughout time immortal making terrible decisions that ended up killing 100s of millions of people from t
