It’s success. Not huge success, but success. It maintains a mediocre status quo in the face of the possibility of it worsening.
Security is in degrees. The highest level would indeed use open-source hardware. I hope to build a rig like that someday.
Or you could just not use LLMs for this.
Capitalism isn’t just flawed, it’s broken. For every prosperous nation like the UK or Germany, there’s half a dozen Haitis and Panamas.
By “communism”, I presume you mean Marxist-Leninist state socialism, which indeed fails miserably. However, it isn’t the only alternative to capitalism. Historically, there have been several communes during the Spanish and Russian civil wars that worked fine and didn’t have a central leader, let alone a dictatorship. Although they died because of military blunders, this model is currently being followed more or less in Chiapas by the Zapatistas.
In these places, workers’ councils ruled. Direct face-to-face democracy by neighbours were how most things were done. I recon that this is a fairly nice arrangement.
Democracy’s flaws come from subversion by the wealthy and the fact that republics don’t let people really participate, but rather choose people who participate in their place.
You and I know damn well that a revolution is the only way that’s gonna happen, and there aren’t any on the horizon.
Tau wouldn’t and doesn’t exterminate. On the other hand they may or may not brainwash their populace.
I hope he has some sort of contingency plan. Perhaps he can find a successor.
The other fields I get (trig is insanely useful), but how the bloody hell does one use trig functions in philosophy? Are we gonna be triangulating the border of science to solve the demarcation problem?
Reminds me of that one joke from What Men Think About.
“In our restaurant, dry bread is called a crouton. It is still the same piece of slightly fried bread, but dry bread cannot cost 8 dollars, whereas a crouton can.”
I like to read what conspiracy theorists post. It is hilarious. This? This is like light beer. Sometimes you seem some truly insane people though.
I thought I had seen everything. Then I found a guy who said that the Sun is fake and was made in 1971 courtesy of the Freemasons. As predicted by Shakespeare when he wrote the Bible. Which he did in English because English is a magical language that was invented by Angels.
Good job on getting out of the JW. I heard it is damned difficult.
Yeah. What Reddit has is the advantage of getting there first. We can catch up.
I don’t actively use it either, but sometimes you’re trying to fix some esoteric error that no one has experienced since the existence of the Western Roman Empire and the only place where a solution exists is Reddit. In those cases I kinda have to visit that wretched hive.
I’m pretty sure most powerful people are straight white men. That being said, most straight white men aren’t powerful.
A glass bottle shattering inside of someone’s bum literally started a war.
Fair point, but not really a meme.
I think he’s being sarcastic.
This is an insult to punks
