    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.


  • But won’t you think of the children!! Think of how many kids have never seen a poorly drawn penis and have to have their first experience looking down at a pothole.

    I do wonder if anyone actually did say a charting on wanksy’s city… (IE city claims that it had no influence on their decision to fill potholes, but it was aknowledged that some are getting filled. Realistically that should involve a test, Wanksy should have found 10 potholes, penis’d in 5 of them, quietly took note of 5 and put on his list… Then anonymously slipped that information to a journalist with instructions not to publish for 2 weeks. At which point he’d analyze the 10 potholes and report back which ones were filled.

    My point is, there needs to be more scientific rigor with the penis drawings.


  • Honestly I haven’t heard any of my right wing coworkers etc… talk about this particular company, but I have heard a lot of elon worship from them. IE I hear a lot of them talk about how he’s gone so pro free speach with twitter. (and they tend to ignore me when I point out that he’s censoring every bit as much as the old twitter, he’s just nicer to the nazis and less nice to the left.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.






  • Seconded here, at the bare minimum you need a VPS or similar. Quick detail here, if you say you are using it to “sail the seas”. and you are talking about self hosting.

    Point of a VPN for piracy purposes is best explained. In short, You connect to the VPN host, the VPN host connects to the tracker or whatever pages you are going to. Should an anti-piracy bot connect to the tracker and follow the leads, it will find the VPN instead of you, and hopefully the VPN isn’t keeping logs and has enough people connecting to it that they can’t keep a specific link to someone.

    Problem with self hosting, is it kind of misses that value. If the same happens but instead of finding your computer, it leads them to… a computer in your living room. Well obviously the same is going to happen as if they found just you.

    I voted for Bernie in both primaries. To this day I believe he would have beaten trump in 2016. That being said DNC fuckery or not… Not enough young people came out and voted for him in the primaries. So like it or not… that doesn’t seem to be an example of this.

    Again I fully agree on the whole we need the dems to actually send someone who understands the needs of millenials and earlier generations. Bernie did that better than anyone before him, but at the end of the day we need better grass roots systems to get people out to vote in the primary if we can get another candidate like Bernie (can say its safe to say bernie is past the point of being able to run for president.


  • 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
