It sounds like the state won.

So Caeser can take the money and kill Christians with it instead? I’m not sure you’re making the point you think you’re making.

Jesus literally said to pay your taxes. What is a tax other that forced redistribution?

Live by the sword, die by the sword. We let Gazan children die because of who their parents voted for. I’m not saying two wrong make a right but that doing what is right starts with us.

I wonder how much of it is vibe coded at this point…

The oligarchs wouldn’t like that precedent but they might go for purchasing SpaceX since it is owned by a foreigner. Kind of like with TikTok…

In May 2020, Lai told CNN news that US president Donald Trump was “the only one who can save us” from China, with Apple Daily publishing a similar plea addressed to Trump the same month.

There’s something ironic about this…

Well, they ain’t harvesting organs for no poor folk and rich people don’t like to die

Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven’t been proven

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.
