Not necessarily true in my experience. Using AI as a code assistant ends up being faster and relatively the same difficulty for things that I’ve worked on, with the exception being niche use cases and libraries.

I call BS, I’ve used AI as a coding assistant semi-often and while its output isn’t the best, it more than makes up for that in the speed increase. The impressive part of Photocraft is that it was made in under a fucking week.

If anything, skilled humans avoid working for free on projects or ideas associated with LLMs.

Yeah, that’s why their GitHub has over 270 contributors and 57k stars. I have nothing to be embarrassed about, don’t let your hate for AI cloud your judgement.

It’s getting one foot in the door though. Humans can deslop the code later on

Linear Algebra is pretty hot though

do you have any guides on how to use soulseek? is it safe to use on public wi-fi? (And will I get a letter from my ISP lol)

That’s not what I’m saying at all lol, just because other Americans view different people as a monolith doesn’t make it okay to do it back

We aren’t a monolith

Haven’t Chinese Oil exports basically been what prevented the global economy from experiencing a complete shortage when the war started, or is that an exaggeration? How big are the implications of this export ban?

China has a long history of espionage and theft to jumpstart many of their technologies someone else developed

Well yeah, like south korea before them, and japan before korea, and america before japan, and europe before america… basically every country that has been a manufacturing powerhouse at some point “stole” designs then added their own improvements

we’ve definitely been trying (i think it was first proposed in 1965) but keep getting cucked by the auto lobby

USA when it comes to building data centers vs USA when it comes to building high speed rail

Using “multimillionaire” vs “billionaire” was a mistake on my part. I was really trying to get at the difference between the petite bourgeoisie and the haute bourgeoisie, for which i’m pretty sure there is a qualitative difference. I’m not trying to advocate for social democracy, but I do think it would be logical for a dictatorship of the proletariat to, ya know, make policies that support the proletariat. Surely one of those policies would be suppressing the bourgeoisie to an extent that the haute bourgeoisie, the ones who control massive amounts of capital and have political influence, would be nonexistent, correct?

Our goal is not to fine-tune this concentration via taxation, but to ensure the state firmly controls the commanding heights of the economy, compelling secondary forms of private ownership to serve the people as a whole, and making capital accumulation merely a byproduct of developing productive forces.

What I’ve been saying is that the existence of billionaires runs contradictory to this statement, since if capital accumulation was really just “a byproduct”, no one would accumulate enough to become a billionaire. From my point of view, it seems like their existence is enough to cast doubt on whether or not the “state firmly controls the commanding heights of the economy”.

Allowing independent political organizations to act at odds with the collective decisions of the people and their elected representatives would only lead to social fragmentation and interference by external forces.

But allowing random people to control vast amounts of capital is chill? and if democratic centralism represents the majority opinion, what about minorities? Won’t they become alienated from repeatedly having no say because they’re outnumbered? I think some amount of federalism/decentralization would be necessary to avoid this.

At a systemic level, there are no legitimate institutional channels for Communist Party members or state officials to privately appropriate the surplus value generated by state-owned enterprises.

The thing that concerns me in particular with this topic is the “Three Represents” (?) policy that literally allows capitalists to join the CPC. How nice of the dictatorship of the proletariat to let the bourgeoisie have representation. That’s why I joked about comparing China to Mussolini.

About your last paragraph: I’m not a fortune teller and I’m not trying to be. But going by the dictionary definition of socialism, “worker ownership of the means of production”, it seems very unlikely that China meets this. I don’t understand what’s wrong with being rigid on this, otherwise, aren’t you redefining the point of what socialism even is? Maybe I’ll be proven wrong and China will transition into a fully socialist economy in the future, I have no clue.

Capacitor + Inductor = Holy Impedance

mfw i joined the wrong instance of some niche social media so now i deserve to get put on a list of undesirables and be pre-crimed

If you say so

Yeahhhh I get why people are weird about veganism now

What a leap of logic. What I meant by that sentence is that it’s become too convenient to have meat in my diet now, and that changing back to being vegetarian or vegan would take time and effort that i simply don’t have at the moment. By the way, have you ridden in a vehicle recently?

I mean, I used to be overweight and pretty weak and am still trying to gain muscle.

“Haha I’m hooked on animal abuse, aren’t I quirky?” No, you just have no morals. You’re a monster.

Uh, are you implying this is what I said?

True, I didn’t really consider tofu
