They’re absolutely not that incompetent. They’re on the pockets of people who profit directly from this. Follow the money, and all that.

Except these programs keep your people alive and healthy and able to work and consume and live. The other money just kills people. And it’s also not just about this “operation” (aggression war). It’s about the whole military budget. Come on

No. The point is that people are using AI for this, which was the question your parent comment was answering. Humans select the wrong targets, computer select the wrong targets. It’s just that people really don’t care unless it’s hurting th

Lots of countries around Brazil are taking pix. Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. And you can totally expand the idea. The fact that you need national id for pix doesn’t mean the idea “doesn’t scale.” It means the current implementation of it i

Rioting is undemocratic… Yeah, I guess we ARE hard-working sheep and get what we deserve…

> Or that they're targeting the mass retail market, where people are technically ignorant, and "unlimited" is required to compete. So… Marketing has taken over, just as parent comment said. Got it.

Postponed my ios update as much as I could. Things are now brighter, bigger, full of animations, and somehow worse to read and use. Some buttons are so big and colorful and confusing that I feel like I’m using a child’s toy, or windows xp.

Guy sees a lot of problems stemming from wrong assumptions, bad management, bullshit jobs “needed” by the capitalist mode of production and profit motive, badly conducted wars, what have you. Guy concludes the problem is “collaboration”, in

That is a fundamental distinction, yes. But the notion that exporting brings wealth to a country is… kinda not really the case anymore. If that wealth is ending up in very few people’s hands, and if said people are wealthy enough that they

You… What? How can you say that like it’s a real argument? You’re REALLY, in 2026, defending that the US is “bringing democracy” to other countries by force? I… How?

Yes, such are capitalism’s incentives, I’m afraid. But this could have been managed. FDR managed it, other governments somewhat managed it with policy in times of war, like WW2. The US had the technology edge for DECADES. More industrializa

Did big businesses in the West really think “investing” in China would lead to “freedom” and such? Isn’t that framing a bit naive? They went to China because it was cheaper. They went there in detriment of their countrymen that went without

I don’t think they’re disgusted by Chomsky’s work because it’s wrong. They’re disgusted because of the recently surfaced ties with Epstein. Not sure the approach holds.

No one ever forced any company to work with China. They all went to China over decades because it was cheaper and made more profits, knowing full well there’d be technological transfer since it was always China’s goal and even explicit in c

They could also not invade a country that did nothing to attack them, but I guess that’s asking too much.

I’m sorry, which hostile nation?

Yes. The tanker plane with its turned off transponder off the coast is totally not a military operation.

This is how cable worked, no? And how streaming has been working. And it MIGHT be getting things cheaper, maybe? I guess? But watching specific stuff you want is hell. The cognitive load of searching a bunch of services, or finding a site t

Hm, the State thoroughly coopting private enterprises to oppress their people… I wonder what’s the name of that…

Okay, sorry, I’m not from the US. I thought the constitution might have something along those lines. I’m clearly wrong. No wanting to bash this new law, just wanted to understand what it’s supposed to effectively change.

by malvim 10mo ago
I mean, isn’t there also law that says people have basic rights to food, housing, healthcare? What will this law change, effectively?

I saw it and immediately thought Clippy. I’m pretty sure this is indeed going to be AI-related somehow.

The “right” response is owning your mistake, apologizing, rolling back AND talking face to face. Patronizing “sorry you got your feelings hurt” responses are pretty much canned apologies.

Except it’s not a screw up, is it? I’m not saying it’s malicious, and I feel your caricature of “twirling mustaches” is useless and detracts from the point. It’s not a “screw up”. It’s also not malicious per se. It’s insensitive and shows a

“Basket case countries” who “can’t manage themselves” and immediately points fingers at global south countries and goes on to talk about everyone providing military stability… I would love to be so confident as to write this kind of weird s
