I do agree on the whole, It’s the next phase of automation. The real problem stems from the fact that we hold onto the system where a tiny handful of people get the full benefit of the productivity, while the others are paid in time incriments which value goes down with demand, so as more jobs are automated or assisted (to allow more work with less people), supply demand devalues the labor.

Well those aren’t uniquely AI problems.

AI generated or human artwork created CP is also kind of debatable in terms of harm causing vs potential harm reduction. (IE the question is, does availability of fake CP in which no one is harmed in the making of it, lessen or raise the amount of actual offenders).

Misinformation, scams etc… all just as likely to happen via shops of cheap labor

The problems of AI that I believe this post is talking about, are the labor displacement issues, IE when AI gets good enough to outperform humans at tasks… how will the economy deal with unemployable people. Which is a specifically capitalism problem. IE the fact that work is based on supply/demand… and lowering the supply of work while keeping peoples demand of needing income… leads to people starving to death.

Right, but the point is, it may very well be that they were difficult to catch without going into harm on the other side (IE in say 9/11’s case having the bar set so high that they’d have grounded air traffic for 15 false positives before actually stopping the attack). Likewise say JFK or MLK’s assassinations, also probably infeasible, having to widen perimeter or advance security on quite a large distance from where they were traveling and speaking.

In epstiens case though, it seems like a high profile national news level criminal like himself. could have very easily been sent to a much better guarded prison, not taken off suicide watch etc… IE it seems like all the red flags were there that he would have killed himself if he could… and he was left in a situation where doing so was not difficult, and the cost of ensuring he didn’t kill himself would have been pretty low. It’s one dude that’s expected to stay in captivity, on a case that the whole world was watching. Not really that infeasible to have a 24/7 rotation that has one person dedicated to him at all times.

To me I think majority of conspiracy murder… still may have merit, without actually lifting a finger.

IMO I don’t think the real question is “did the government establish a hit on JFK, MLK, The twin towers etc…”.

but rather, did someone in power get a note saying “this is likely to happen and here’s how to prevent it”, and it get burried.

My thoughts exactly, this actually screams awesome fashion lol

Unfortunately for the most part, capitalism is. The companies that do exploit their workers and their customers make more money, Corporations that make more money than their competition then get in positions to do shady shit to kill their competitors. In the end of course there’s plenty of shitty jobs that treat their employees like garbage to jump between, and very few jobs that actually treat their workers like humans.

What kind of supprises me is I didn’t really see audacity fork like say, OpenOffice to libreoffice. When even when openoffice was basically given to apache because no one had an ounce of faith in Oracle… the split remained and both projects are developed.

Ivy, Harley and Mr Freeze and catwoman are bad examples IMO because they have pretty big track records of strong moral fiber, doing the wrong thing for right reasons. Admitted that’s why most fail because comics tend to try to have villains be at least somewhat sympathetic and believable and sometimes even a bit likable.

I’d assume because the internet is 90% catered to american’s.

I don’t, the point I was making is the corporations are unspeakably untrustworthy and always will focus purely on what gives them the most money. The government is usually corrupt and will often let these corporations do what they want to do. My point is the government at its worse, is the same as large corporations at their best.

So when it comes to things like healthcare… yes I’ll take the gov over the corporations.

Bottom line to me is, no I don’t trust the government at all. Unfortunately the options are the government and private insurance. and seeing how the government is the only thing that stops them from charging super sky high premiums, and then find excuses not to cover anything when you get sick.

would be nice, but doesn’t seem to really happen, (incumbancy advantage). Also the bigger problem that isn’t solved by voting them out or even term limits. Access to money is important to win an election. Same people have money, those people pick candidates that are loyal and see to it that they win. When one old corrupt politician dies we’ll get a new one pushed by the corporate media.

well in a way it is I think. The blackouts have pretty much ended, but many mods left. Many mods are demotivated, and many users are leaving due to worsened apps. They survived the blackouts, but the long term effects will have them bleeding for a long time.

This one probably. I do remember this video of someone actually making one that a professional forgery expert flat out said was convincing enough that he would have believed it was handwriting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQO2XTP7QDw

Sounds kind of silly here. Capitalist governments specifically fight to prevent communism from taking hold. The question is do they turn into dictatorships on their own, or do they turn into dictatorships because outside entities are pushing them into more desperate levels. All governments when they are being threatened by another nation turn authoritarian.

I don’t think anyones arguing outside nations didn’t do major actions towards sabotaging every attempted communist society. To me that’s a bit like saying homosexuality is bad because of the high rate of suicide among the LGBT. Ignoring of course that it’s not being LGBT that makes you suicidal, but the actions of people on them.

Fully disagree on concept. The thing with the portal is solid matter moves through at a constant rate.

If you have a portal moving towards you, at say 2 MPH and you are holding your arm out, From the other side of the portal, they would see your arm coming out at 2mph. Any other result would involve compressing or stretching your arm.

Lets say further here. a man dangling his legs off the back of a moving cart. Man is moving 20mph forward, portal trolley is chasing him at 22MPH. As his feet pass through the portal, they would start coming out the other end of the portal at 2mph.

As a result I concur that the only logical exiting of a portal. |travler velocity - Entry portal velocity| + exit portal velocity = objects exit velocity.

Now the real physics debate would be what happens if 2 portals were moving forward and someone was in the path of one. The only logical conclusion that fits my mind there, is instant compression

I do have to second that concept there. Giving everything away absolutely free is not a sustainable business model. If we don’t like ads, and we don’t like paywalls, we need to actually start figuring out a sustainable model. And no tiny ads that are nowhere near where anyone looks, do not actually generate revenue, because people don’t fork over much money to put up ads in places where few people will see them.

So we either need a system to have people give money directly to avoid ads, or we need a system of ads that… well are appealing both to those who want to post ads, while being acceptable to end users.

So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.

I wish, has 4chan ever grown back to being a power to the people, rather than a Russian/MAGA group.
