I tried to watch it, but I could tell immediately that the host didn’t have anything of any consequence to say. If he did, he wouldn’t need to keep interrupting the other guy with his emotionally charged hot-takes. He would be able to calmly explain his argument which could stand on its own two legs.

I personally can’t separate the artist from the work tbh. If the creator is disgusting then I’m going to do my best to avoid the product every single time. That being said, I’m completely out of the loop on this Omarchy thing so I dunno about that lol

It all comes down to the money in the end. This government and that government can lie all day long about who won, who lost, what happened and what didn’t happen, but they just can’t hide the cost at the end of the day. I hope the Repubs enjoyed their weird culture war because everybody is going to be feeling it.

What a luxury it is to pay for it with your pocketbook instead of your life, like every innocent person the statistics reduce to “collateral damage”.

I keep asking myself how that could be wrong, but I’ve also given up on hoping to understand their weird-as-hell logic about how things 'ought to be. None of it appears to be grounded in reality or reason.

He doesn’t deserve that much credit. He’s just an asshole flailing about from a position of unearned privilege and ego

Honestly, I hope every company that donated to Trump collapses as a result of their technofascism. Microsoft gave a million dollar bribe to Trump’s “inaugural” fund so F 'em

Not great with hardware tbh… will I soon be able to nab 64 or 128gb of ddr5 compatible with my American gaming pc?

Can we call it the Nirnroot

Just waiting to see the headlines after this gets loose in the US and the federal government decides it’s “God’s Plan” whether or not the people make it through, instead of spending money to address it.

Yeah, the one thing this Admin can’t hide at the end of the day is how much money has been evaporated between the war and whatever financial schemes they’ve enacted along the way. Hope the Repubs love paying for that

They’re blaming it on China, but we all know it’s because of the the subscription heated seats and the ugly grill they implemented a few years back lol

I’m guessing a big part of the problem isn’t even the Tesla politics or the right-wing perception of EVs… it’s probably close to 100% cost. They’re expensive AF and everyone in America is poor. Most EVs are touted as a luxury ordeal with luxury prices. China can do cheap EVs, but that doesn’t work with American business’s demand for profit margin.

Maybe it’s time the corporations go through some austerity measures?

How many thousands of years of human behavior have we witnessed, and these governments still haven’t figured out that banning something just makes it all the more desirable lmao

As a non-dev person who recently started using AI to get into doing some computer programming, I think the marketing by the CEOs has done a lot of harm. People who truly know what they’re doing and who are very careful thinkers could see all along that this technology is not at a point to where the following hype was true:

-it will not entirely replace human workers,

-it’s almost certainly not going to be better at what it’s doing than a true expert,

-and it remains to be seen whether or not it will ever be able to generate truly unique, bespoke, and fundamentally new solutions… you know, like what humans had to do for every single issue that came before…

And what it’s really good at from my perspective is allowing a non-expert person to generate productive materials in an area where they are not a master-level technician/developer/knowledge worker. It has really dissolved the barrier of entry and the value associated with routine technical skills, for better or worse.

The practical issues though involved with massive data centers, the price rises associated with computer parts, and all the other environmental garbage that’s happening is pretty discouraging though. This technology has legit potential for benefit, but the companies and CEOs have ultimately made it into a moral conundrum whether or not it should be put to use.

Typical capitalism, imo …

The bill sounds great just based on the headline text, but in reality, it would enable political retaliation like bribing an officer to say someone was urinating in public… bam, sex offender and now you’ve eliminated a political dissident

I remember only seeing photos like this in black and white from Nazi Germany. Now here they are again in modern color… I wonder how many bodies they’ll find in mass graves after the Israelis are done

It’s all true lol

It’s crazy. I generally try not to go to locations where there are snipers present, no matter who’s side they’re on.

It’s not the engineer that gets anything extra when the business people make a cut to the product, lol. The engineer is going to be the one arguing against it, but ultimately unable to steer the ship at all…

Once again, everyore and everything else ends up suffering to acommodate the Repubs. Ugh
