In China they execute executives who do not have the public interest at heart.

Whatever assumptions you have about the universe and other people are wrong. They all want to connect and love/be loved.

I have friends who are computer engineers and they say that it does a pretty good job of generating code, but that’s not a general population use case. For most people, AI is a nearly useless product. It makes Google searches worse. It makes your phone voice assistant worse. It’s not as good as human artists. And it’s mostly used to create dumbass posts on Reddit to farm engagement. In my life, AI has not made anything better.

It’s crazy how even some Israelis are anti semitic.

AI is going to be this eras Betamax, HD-Dvd, or 3d TV glasses. It doesn’t do what was promised and nobody gives a shit.

I beat the freeware version 20+ years ago. I know the developer made Overgrowth which was a spiritual sequel but I’ve never played it.

What a deep cut

I don’t think it’s impossible to make the situation better. I think he’s dismantling the rule of law. For the entirety of the post industrial revolution era, we’ve been governed by words written down, but that was not the case of most of history. Before that, might governed. If you could do something and nobody could physically stop you, then you got your was. Trump is trying to take us back to that.

I do think anyone on Lemmy is probably smarter than anyone on Reddit. I was browsing a conservative sub today and while they were very few comments, most of them disagreed with the general direction of the Trump administration.

It’s kinda the same way that the Trump administration is handling it’s business. If you ignore the law and you have enough firepower to enforce your viewpoint, then the laws are up to negotiation. If thousands of people go on rent strike, they can’t evict all those people. There aren’t enough cops to throw all these people out in the street.

I think it’s naive to think that “writing different words” would have any impact.

A million dollars is all it takes to buy whatever laws you want? That’s a really good deal for Intuit.

If enough people stop paying rent, then they have to negotiate with them as a group. They can’t evict everyone.

Snitches get stitches. Unless someone is hurting people, I ain’t seen nothing.

America spent a century burning all the other baskets and demanded that everyone store their eggs in the American Basket™. All resistance was met with violence openly or covertly.

After watching Bernie have a Palestine flag removed at one of his rallies, I’m less interested in being herded back to one of the controlled opposition parties.

Edit: I accept your down votes, but Palestine is a flashpoint issue. Capitalism has called for the destruction of a people. This has to be the line we draw. Bernie cannot expect to fight oligarchy while bowing down to Zionism. They are intrinsically linked struggles. Zionism is supported by the US because it positions Israel as a key outpost in one of the most oil rich regions in the world. The genocide is linked to the wars for oil. The constant fight for oil is a result of capitalism. You cannot be a socialist and support Israel. It is antithetical to the values of socialism.

I find that hard to believe. Universal healthcare is the most popular policy proposal in the US for the voters. 60+% of Americans support it.

Also, there has been numerous studies done in the last 15 years that show that voting doesn’t get popular policies passed. If the rich want something, it is more likely to get passed whereas if the average voters want something, it is unlikely to get passed.

Lol humanity existed before oligarchs and kings.

Obamacare, the multiple times in 2016, 2020, and 2024 when they were deciding on a platform and universal healthcare never made the cut. They’ve had plenty of opportunities to push it and they never do.

Yeah that’s the biggest problem is I can’t guarantee the revolution would be leftist or that the emerging system would be better than our current system. We need to build a leadership system now.
