these sound fine to me. what isn't fine is sending 2000 lb bombs to annihilate Gaza. EDIT: I support destroying USAID for exactly the reasons stated in the thread below. However, I think they are simply reorganizing it under the state

Maybe it would be more useful in adding a different kind variation to proceduraly generated content, but on the other hand, when you don't precisely know what you're going to get, it's hard to reason about how it will be used

interesting, i bet AI assisted art is copyrightable though (i.e. have AI do the "boring" parts and have the human do the interesting parts) here's one way I think that could be helpful. I read an interview with the final fant

i think this pov buys too tightly into the idea that national projects arent innovative they are often more innovative than the private sector but it requires buy in and focus from their managers and funding from politicians

i just don't get why it has to be a market, we need fairly priced and implemented capabilities not wasteful redundant implementations

by tehjoker 2y ago
isnt it efficient though for these capabilities to exist? why not nationalize them instead and make them accountable to the public

This sounds very expensive, of uncertain efficacy, and if you use an engineered organism, it will likely be detected if you use modified DNA. I accept an agency like Mosad or the CIA would attempt it though. CIA tried so many crazy schemes

what problem did you run into?

maybe the government should consider protestor demands and reform in many cases

by tehjoker 2y ago
something to consider is that in the Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) the military used a bunker buster on a Sarin gas storage facility and shot the sarin high into the atmosphere, where it then floated far downwind and landed on US troops

is crazy to me how people talk about aeons ago when these tool came out like two years ago

I think this is probably a misrepresentation of degrowth. Perhaps there are some that take an extreme view like that, but it is more that we are very very obviously beyond the limits of sustainable living and something will have to give, no

what is missing from this surface level analysis is any real content about what the US government is, what it does in the world, the structure of the constitution, and the legacy of anti-democratic movements under the banner of anti-communi

this comment would make sense if this was the only issue where this was true instead of one amongst almost an uncountable number

private property is sacrosanct except when an exception that only applies to them it would make a billionaire richer

It's crazy almost nothing changed after this revelation. What a fake democracy we live in.

They also did that to Bengal in the famine there much later. It's a pattern with the Brits.

It's because most of the time people see mostly powerless people trying to do their jobs and messing up. They don't have as much of a frame of reference for how powerful people act, especially because there is so much mystificatio

It depends on what kind of criticism. Criticism intended to overthrow the government? Maybe not. Criticism about various procedures and goals within the context of the socialist system, very much yes.

Simple: China is only totalitarian in western propaganda. "Yellow Peril" is a tired trope, it's a democracy. It's difficult to characterize the U.S. as a democracy, and our social progress is rolling backwards.

You talking to a member of the DSA buddy. I read about this shit all day. Also, whenever an american uses the word "authoritarian" it is extremely unclear what they mean, usually it means "bad" because they have no princ

My suspicion is Trump is putting pressure on Zelensky (a) because he hates him personally and (b) because he wants an even bigger mineral rights deal. The thinking being, let Zelensky stew in it without U.S. help and suffer some humiliating

good, they should sprinkle socialist values in. what's the other option, passive acceptance of capitalist exploitation? people need to be educated.

Really good article. There is a whole cast of philosophical characters that have been supported because they provide a non-materialist subversive, yet directionless, politics that go no-where, great for capitalism. Some of them were even di
