I feel like Carney is one of those bourgs who understand Marxism and use it against the proles, but in the case of Carney he's using it for the benefit of the Canadian bourgeoisie given the threat from the American bourgeoisie.
Wish there was into on how to pirate adobe for Linux. Even into for Windows is hard to find (for obvious reasons) when you're someone like me who doesn't know where to look.
This is not an invitation to tell me how and get banned lol
That's why OP specified "participating in genocide." That's how language works. They didn't say "protesting against synagogues" they said "protesting against synagogues participating in genocide", a subset of synagogues.
In retrospect it's pretty obvious that the most efficient way to traverse a grid would include no diagonals. Every time you move on an axis you move to a cell in 1 unit distance of travel. Why would you ever choose to move to a cell in √2 unit distances when you could move 1 unit distance to achieve the same result of covering one more cell?
Own the means of production to sustain your way of life
Have fully automated it
Can protect it using automated security
Which is what billionaires are going for. They do not care if economic collapse leads to billions of deaths, as long as they live in an automated utopia themselves.
It is about the prospect of profit. If you can make a machine that puts everyone out of a job, the profit is literally infinite. The same or better productivity output with zero labour cost input. You would have to be out of your mind not to invest in the infinite money machine.
Unfortunately (fortunately?), the infinity money machine is not possible with LLMs. These bullshit generators are a dead end in AI tech. But nobody with investor money believes that yet.
Most of the water use for corn isn't necessary either, because nearly half the corn we grow gets burned in engines in the form of corn ethanol mixed into gasoline.
I'll say that again because it is an unfathomable stat. Nearly half the corn the US grows gets burned to make cars go. That represents 40x the water use of AI if OP is to be believed about the 1/80th stat.
Socialism is when the government does stuff. The more stuff it does, the more socialister it is. And when the government goes a whole lot of stuff, that's communism.
Capitalism rewards greed (or more accurately capital accumulation). It doesn't reward evil, evil is a side effect of prizing capital accumulation above any moral framework. Like the paperclip maximizer, capitalism is cold, calculating, and without morals, resulting in one thing: maximization of profit.
If, in some parallel universe, the best way to maximize capital accumulation were to ensure well-being for everyone (stay with me here), then that is what the bourgeoisie would do. They are not evil, they are amoral.
This binary catastrophe/non-catastrophe dichotomy is a myth and actively harmful propaganda promulgated by the fossil fuel industry. Yes it is too late to prevent the terrible, irreversible effects of climate change.
But every additional tonne of CO2 makes the effects even worse. It's not like "oh, we've locked in catastrophe, we can throw up our hands, there's nothing left to do." No, it's a gradient of severity, and it gets worse the less we do.
