If you smoke it, your dealer is a scumbag criminal. If you take it in a pill, your dealer is privileged beyond all imagination.

the cartels are just violent psychopaths that want to be the distributors.

You talking about the CIA/DEA cartel?

Somehow nobody remembers that the nazis literally copied their plan from USA.

TBH the actual problem here is the belief in “europe” and it’s ability to “commit suicide”.

For me these are wacky white supremacist talking points.

Enters Euro-centric space.

Yeah that was the first mistake. Don’t enter white supremacist spaces.

The point is weak but I’m upvoting for the meme usage.

Inkscape if it’s vector art. Gimp if it’s bitmap.

There was two years of free migration. Maybe check your email.

Kate on Debian.

Too many people using VSCode. At work on Windows I was using it at work (on Windows) but got disgusted with myself and switched to Kate. On Linux I tried VSCodium but the Flatpak was soooo slow, bloated, and crashy… I’m just sticking with Kate on every OS.

Languages: Julia, Python, JavaScript, PHP

Ok, but what about empire-linked hackers? Zio-linked hackers? Pretty sure it’s far far worse.

And the author is pretty funny too. Non-stop pro-genocide, anti-iran, anti-china… Just imperial slop.

Might be easier to make a white list.

Here’s how I might resolve this supposed dichotomy:

• “AI” doesn’t actually exist.
  • You might be using technologies that are called “AI” but there is no actual “intelligence” there. For example, as OP mentions, LLMs are extremely limited and not actually “intelligent”.
• Since “AI” doesn’t actually exist, since there’s no objective test, etc… “AI” can be anything and do anything.
• So at the extremes we get the “AI” God and “AI” Devil
  • “AI” God - S/he saves the economy, liberates us from drudgery, creates great art, saves us from China (\s), heralds the singularity, etc.
  • “AI” Devil - S/he hallucinates, steals jobs, destroys the environment, is a tool of the MIC, murders artists, is how China will destroy us (\s), wastes of time and resources, is a scam, causes apocalypses, etc.

Since there’s no objective meaning from the start, there’s no coherence or reason behind the wild conclusions are the bottom. When we talk about “AI”, we’re talking about a wide variety of technologies with varying values in various contexts. I think there are some real shitty people/products but also some hopefully useful technologies. So depending on the situation I might have a different opinion.

One of my critiques of Chomsky even before this Epstein shit is that he’s too tolerant of monsters.

Ofc… He’s spent his entire career at the heart of the MIC. His co-workers are almost entirely monsters.

Don’t trade one goofball for another.

Yeah, they don’t get to be a tenured professor at a major university without jumping through the hoops of capital.

Yet another lib vs tankie showdown…

Yeah that acct is phony AF. A lib insult to the memory of EVD.
