  • consistently bewildered by how increasingly myopic your brain on capitalism becomes. betting on nuclear blasts as if the payout will have value after the MAD taboo breaks and the central organs of the state get vaporized

  • How likely is an oil price shock to cascade into heightening the contradictions of the AI bubble? The idea feels intuitive to me (surging energy costs=higher operating costs for data centers) so I'm wondering if it has any basis. Are there any safeguards that would prevent it from making transformer models more costly to operate at scale, besides bourgeoisie class solidarity in covering the losses?

    Operation Epic Bacon

  • Well, if we were operating in good faith, we would make standardized parental control protocols that can interface with devices, accounts, browsers and websites and allow parents to input the ages of personal device/account user ages in their "family" and take on community-recommended age-gating suites. Like a uBlock filter list for restricting content. Then we would fund childcare resources and community centers/activities in order to dampen and share the burden of parenting for people who cannot dedicate enough time to monitoring their child's internet activity, or are too drained to do so after their work day. We would treat this as the isolation and time/energy problem it is, rather than having the sites manage you and yours.

    I am assuming they are operating in bad faith because the current implementations of this standard are being backed by Peter Thiel. Therefore, I think this is a means to strengthen the surveillance state and is an attempt to kill internet pseudonymity in order to create a chilling effect for dissent/track and subvert dissidents, as Palantir and DHS are already trying to do with ELITE and ICE. Per another co-founder of it, Palantir is an explicitly political corporation aimed at killing communists:

    which, if they have their way, will semantically creep into anyone who believes in anything that constricts or punishes or even criticizes the actions of anyone in the Epstein Files.

  • every week I'm boundlessly grateful that my therapist has the politics of Jennifer Welch (i.e. no-enemies-to-my-left radlibism) and that I can talk to her about how much I hate this place and how much I loathe the Dems and how I want to be more active as a communist organizer but also wanting to get a K-Visa and she just nods and essentially goes "yeah that’s a fair assessment."

    Sorry you have to deal with one that argues with you like that, they're generally not supposed to be outwardly contentious like that, especially with session-trivial disagreements. I hope better options for you crop up in the future
