  • Yes, this is digital.

    The lights and shadows are definitely my favorite part as well.

    I'm not sure why I thought free-hand-ing the tiles would be a good idea, it's definitely the worst part of the image. Might redo that part later, maybe.

  • You'd have to be very dexterous and have a high quality mouse for that I assume. Is it because of the price?

  • Of course not! As we all learned from liberals, nuance is when you say you dislike both sides equally but you still stan for one over the other.

  • I'm gonna quote what I already said elsewere on this issue:

    The appeal of humanoid robots isn’t just automating production (because if it was just that specialized robots would be far better than any generalist humanoid), instead I think the appeal of humanoid robots is as a tool to manage the balance between employment and production output.

    As a socialist society you want to become able to guarantee jobs and access to the products of labor to your citizens. Which means you have to balance level of automation with necessary output: too many robots and there’s not enough work for everyone, too few and there might be shortages of certain things due to underproduction. This means that ideally you want to be able to retire a few machines when there are peoples in need of a job and bring more machines in when workers retire or stop working for whatever other reasons.

    But you can’t make the switch quickly enough with specialized robots because these require conditions so vastly different from human workers that you need to refit the entire factory floor or at least part of it both to bring robots in or to get them out, which can take months to years. With humanoid robots though, they can work with the exact same factory floors the human workers use, meaning switching between robots and humans is as easy as ordering the robots to walk in or out of the factory. That’s the best argument for humanoid robots in my opinion, and because of that I think it makes a lot of sense for a socialist country to develop the technology.

    I'd like to add on top of that: the framing of a binary choice between either specialized robots or generalist humanoid robots is wrong. Humanoids will without a doubt work alongside specialized robots, just like human workers currently do.

  • US preparing for potential weeks-long military campaign against Iran: Report

    Jump

  • I don't believe this is likely.

    Your comparison with Venezuela here neglect just how vastly different the 2 situations are. Not only is Venezuela far weaker militarily, they are also far closer to the US and their only trade routes to Eurasia are by boat which the US navy can easily intercept. Meanwhile Iran is on the same continent as China and Russia's immense supply chains and industrial bases, they have a huge industrial base of their own, they mostly make their own weapons, they have huge sea and land trade networks.

    Between the western economies making it clear to the whole world that they are now a sinking ship and the fact that even if the US can somehow block the maritime routes between Iran and China, Iran would still have land roads that the US has no ability to blockade whatsoever; making such a deal would make no sense for Iran.

    Yes, Iran would not win from a prolong fight with the US, but they not lose from it either, in fact they are likely able to sustain the attrition of that kind of fight for far longer than the US could, especially with Chinese and Russian supply chains being right there on the same continent as them.

  • US preparing for potential weeks-long military campaign against Iran: Report

    Jump

  • The only way it would last only weeks is if the US navy gets repelled or destroyed without ever touching boots on Iranian soil. There is no scenario in which the war lasts only weeks and the US wins. One or both of these propositions necessarily has to be false.

  • :Trump: "The bourgeoisie, these very mean folks. Have you heard of them? Very mean folks. They steal the proletariat's surplus values, these bourgeois they do that. They do that all the time, peoples have been saying it. They extract it by intensifying the rates of exploitation, this is a very bad thing to do but they do it anyway. Yes, they do. I've seen peoples talk about it. They say Why are we only payed a fraction of the value we produce?, That's what folks have been talking about lately. They get only a small part of, only a tiny part of this very good, very nice surplus value, they aren't given all of it. They make it but they don't get it, and that's bad, I've been saying it."
