    that's a fun thing to say on the internet, but is completely divorced from reality unfortunately unless you know of a secret militia i don't know of. my only fear is that people will be left behind because they cannot engage with what is taking place in front of and around us and by the time they catch up, the window for actually getting some of the things that would benefit them has closed

    edit: also all anyone wants is abundance. redistributing our scarce resources would work. so would investing in tech that could make scarcity a thing of the past. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ this is literally 2015 tumblr discourse: a UBI-fueled AI-powered world where people can focus on their communities, passions, etc. the AI-powered part of that is already going to happen. it's up to people to make the other parts of it happen.

    That is a hot take. Can't stand plain water.
     
  4. I do think LLMs are not going anywhere and being able to use them is a good skill to have as someone in the workforce but I am deeply skeptical of them ever being used to improve the world on any grand scale as long as the world economy is organized as a system that demands infinite growth. Intense taxation of these companies is probably not even enough, they need to be socialized and de-oriented from profit in order to actually benefit humanity as a whole. This is plainly impossible in the US political system as-is. There would need to be restructuring of that system so vast that it could only be described as a political revolution even if it didn’t entail some kind of uprising.

  6. Feels relevant here. People will take direct action without organizing.
     
  7. Which is a reason to organize. Direct action is great but that guys just gonna go to jail forever. Organization is necessary to wield power

    Hope it taking a long time to arrest him means they built a solid case.

  10. This is going to be a hard pass for most people and I definitely get that, but if you were ever a Kanye fan or just found yourself fascinated by his rise and fall, that doc on Prime (In Whose Name?) is essential viewing. It picks up right where Jeen-Yuhs left off and is comprised almost entirely of footage surrounding his MAGA pivot, rediscovery of Christianity, and ends just as the anti-Semitism is beginning. Very sad and surreal but absolutely captivating imo.

    it really is fitting that the singer for a god awful red state butt rock band would be a massive zionist piece of shit

    Apparently this is a thing that’s arriving at stores and is in no way affiliated with RSD.

    David is a stupid fuck and I'm surprised Corgan even made the effort.

    what are the ethics in buying a release like this solely to resell, ie taking money from nazis?

    I think anything that separates their money from them that would otherwise be used for Nazi-things is good.

    The Austin address on that Yeezy label is associated with an Italian sub shop down the street from me, I have so many questions.
