I’m suggesting that the choice between industrialization and skilled labor is a false one because China is industrialized and has a highly skilled labor force. I agree this is because of American owners seeking profit, but it seems the same won’t happen to China now that they’re industrialized.

Deskilling blue collar labor is how America gave China a manufacturing edge. What do you think will be the result of deskilling white collar labor?

Here’s a question: why don’t you take their advice seriously instead of being so sensitive to their manners?

Enshittification is a paradigm shift, but not one we associate with the birth of the internet.

On to your list. Why does misinformation appear after the birth of the internet? Was yellow journalism just a historical outlier?

What you’re witnessing is the “Red Queen hypothesis”. LLMs have revolutionized the scam industry and step 7 is an AI arms race against and with misinformation.

LLMs are not like the birth of the internet. LLMs are more like what came after when marketing took over the roadmap. We had AI before LLMs, and it delivered high quality search results. Now we have search powered by LLMs and the quality is dramatically lower.

I can’t take made up curves seriously

I’m surprised it didn’t end as a crypto announcement

I lived through those times, this is different. The punishment for false hope is that the lesson that things can always get worse.

We’re cooked because our leaders are pumping the AI bubble while crashing the rest of the economy. When that bubble pops those programmers are going to have to find a job in a nuclear sized crater of where the economy used to be.

It’s not even a question when we’re literally fighting for due process.

They can do what Ukraine did, buy drone parts from China to make the most of their defense budget.

There’s a plenty of ideological reasons, but I think it is partly the environment being so stressful makes it harder for people to be considerate to new viewpoints or people.

This is why they fired the JAG lawyers at the Pentagon: there won’t be any legal expert opinions in the military to tell the soldiers the order is illegal.

Billionaires are often referred to as dragons because they horde wealth. A Guillotine that could know the difference and decide to only harm billionaires would be a technological marvel.

Real AGI is a Guillotine that only removes the heads of dragons.

Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone’s identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don’t seem to address this is concerning.

Seems like they will be pushing for more work requirements, less funding, and fewer legal protections (ie pre-existing conditions)

Idk, white folks voting for Trump is an issue if you ask me, a white guy. Too many white folks sane washing his shit. Morning Joe went from “he’s a fascist” to “let’s put out differences aside”. Other whities need to realize this is a grift that will likely kill your own.

Reactionaries can’t resist injecting sexual innuendo, can they?

Giving more weapons and negotiating an end to the war are not mutually exclusive. Biden is Giving Ukraine their best hand possible before the US is likely to duck out.
