Haiti should have just patiently waited to gain their independence.

70% of Americans believe in angels. If you take the extreme end of that statistic you can just insert any crazy belief.

Just come to Eastern Europe where every trend arrives a decade later.

Ok I just don't see a reasonable way that less children helps to fight the oligarchy. Not having enough nurses to take care of all the dying boomers does what to further the cause? Eliminating labor doesn't work the same way as withholding labor. I can't exactly imagine a childless adult union so what would the plan even be?

Who do you think suffers most during economic turmoil though? If you want to fuck up the economy in a productive way you need mass action, for which you need a mobilized working class. Reducing the number of workers doesn't help with this.

Yeah funny thing is this is basically what we're already doing. China's one child policy and neoliberal austerity everywhere else ensured the current generation of children is smaller than ever. We're running the experiment now, and overall we'd be fine if the countries that have negative growth rates weren't so xenophobic and let immigrants in to replace their ageing workforce.

Twenty years ago I would have agreed, there's too many people, but now the pendulum is swinging the other way.

If AI is coming for the CEO position, does that mean he's giving all his money to an AI? His position consists of hyping a bullshit machine and having money. His income comes from capital, not productivity or growth. Technically, you don't even need an AI to fill that role. If a potato could hold a bank account and invest, it would do a better job than this man because at least we wouldn't have to listen to him.

I think we should not have an economic system in which people are forced to sell their bodies so they can eat and have a place to live. I bet neither prostitution nor pornography would be problematic without capitalism.

For some reason society decided that it was not ok to sell sexual acts. However, if you film yourself doing it, it's allowed. 🤷

 

Somebody I'm sure has already said this, but the Turing test assumed AIs would need to prove their intelligence by appearing human in their speech, but now the problem is the opposite, that humans will have to somehow prove that they are not LLMs when they type anything on the internet.

 

Why are there several overlapping coats of paint that are peeling off? I thought this was the new and flashy Boeing plane? The airline was Scoot.

 

I have no idea how the Fediverse works. I use Sync just like I did for Reddit because it's simple. Is there anything I can do to help?
