Capitalism is like any other vice.
In moderation it's fine, often even beneficial.
But if it's the sole focus you're fucked. We're not responsible cocaine users who want to stay up dancing every other weekend, we're full blown crackheads on capitalism.
The AI corps building the datacenters pretty much all have blank checks and want to be the biggest.
So the other corps that make chips, will always focus on what's most profitable, which is what the AI centers use.
For it to be "worth it" to produce any consumer level tech, they have to raise the price to justify not just making the AI chips
So it's not a conspiracy that's raising prices, it's capitalism working as intended, and to fix it would have to fix the focus on profits and replace it with fulfilling needs of the people. Which is pretty much the opposite of capitalism...
Not just work, any public setting...
I'm convinced most of them people upset about NSFW never leave their own living space, or worse, they do and just don't ever think of people around them
It's just such a weird take because whether or not others filter doesn't effect them.
"We are a brave country. Ahmed al-Ahmed represents the best of our country. We will not allow this country to be divided. That is what the terrorists seek. We will unite. We will embrace each other, and we'll get through this," Albanese added.
Never attribute to a LLM what can be explained by a hyper focused human...
There's more than a handful of people that just can't stop making accounts on here. I'd say it's more likely one human is manually doing this rather than a bunch of chatbots, which is why I bothered to ask.
Why do so many brand new accounts make posts here trying to get people to talk about AI?
Everyday there's multiple, and almost every account ends up getting deleted.
It's just weird
We wouldn't even need to do that...
Money is an abstract concept that would fundamentally change in a post scarcity world.
If enough people said money doesn't matter, the number tied to bank accounts stop mattering.
Musk could have 50 trillion dollars, but those dollars are only worth what we agree they are. We could just say their worth zero and Musk doesn't have rights to anything he "owns". It's literally that easy.
The wealthy don't abide by the social contract, yet you're so stuck on it you don't understand the only thing binding us to the parts the wealthy exploit, is ourselves and we can just fucking stop.
It's because it's centralized with an absolute authority.
They might not control the pope now, but if they do they control all Catholic priests.
It's full circle back to "a centralized system is the most easily corrupted". Just like this "new EU". Even if the far right doesn't control it from day 1, they want it centralized because that makes it easier to take over eventually.
At a joint news conference on Sunday, Col Perez said investigators did not think the person detained was the same person identified in CCTV footage of the suspect that was released on the day of the attack. The BBC has chosen to stop naming the person who has now been released.
In the footage, the suspect can be seen walking away from the scene wearing all black clothing.
Following the release of the footage, FBI director Kash Patel had said that a person of interest was detained at a hotel in Coventry, Rhode Island in the early hours of Sunday morning based on a lead from Providence Police.
Col Perez had then confirmed that officers were not looking for anyone else and were working with prosecutors to collect evidence.
Sooooo....
They don't have any evidence, but they've already made up their minds this person is guilty and they aren't looking for any other suspects?!
How the fuck are we gonna get to post scarcity when a couple thousand individuals are hoarding all the wealth?
We could live in a post scarcity society right now, hell, we could be decades deep in it by now.
But regardless of when we get there, before we do we'll have to claw all the wealth from the gluttonous human personifications of dragons first.
It's not just gonna happen some day, because all the wealthiest humans are fighting against it. So we need to actually fight for it
Yep, centralization isn't a good thing.
If you read the article long enough, they go mask off and eventually admit the movement has two major factions: "centrists" and outright racists who want a white Christian empire.
Seems everyone supporting this wants it as a vehicle to move the EU to the right, which is why they want it centralized. It's easier to buy off one leader than 27 different ones at the same time.
And there's room for some capitalism before that point...
Like, UBI with stores where you pay for goods is still capitalism to some degree, if capital is involved at all, that's capitalism.
