Remigration is ethnic cleansing, basically going further than what Trump and ICE is doing in the USA right now. You don’t need to know more about them.

The other side of this is that Sweden is now 8.1% Muslim. It’s inevitable that people get fed up with this. No matter if it’s right or wrong, people hate it. Especially when the economic outlook is grim.

Hell, maybe they can nationalize it and get Elin paid.

Nationalizing it and turning it into a public utility instead of for profit would be a good thing. Or in this case it should belong to the whole world and run by the UN.

The latency and bandwidth are fundamental limitations of physics which are incredibly expensive to scale up compare to cable and cell towers.

Latency is theoretically much better because the speed of light is much faster in the vacuum of space than fiber optics. So the ping from continent to continent is better using a satellite network that transmit data to each other using laser light.

I suspect we could be moving the orbit of the satellites higher so we can reduce the insane number of them, while still have better ping. I don’t see a technical reason why bandwidth would be more limited in space than on the ground. It’s fundamentally easier to scale since you can just launch more satellites along certain orbits to add bandwidth.

The fundamental problem is of course privatization and the inevitable monopoly. It will never really be cheaper than land based internet, and so both will continue to coexist, so it just adds additional resource waste for no real benefit except to make some guy rich.

So you need to limit the freedom of capitalists to hoard wealth and exploit others. That has to come first. You cannot be free until you stop letting the predators roam free. Democracy is fundamentally impossible without strong restrictions on capitalism. Greed is not good.

They’ll always spend a portion of their capital to capture the rednecks, fetishize guns as idols of toxic masculinity, turn the Christians into Christo-fascists, oppress people of color to create an exploitable underclass, and use gay and other identity politics as a shield for it all.

Freedom from economic oppression needs to be very high up in the constitution. The power belongs to the people, but it’s been completely captured by them. And today we even lack language to describe these things outside socialist circles. And they have been strangely captured and banned too with the Stalinism bullshit of tankies and defederation (banning) of marxist-leninists from most of lemmy.

What about freedom from economic oppression?

Ah there it is. Capitalism seizing the means of generation.

Games used to be much more simple too, and easier to test and fix.

If you don’t care about desktop adoption and the synergy effect on the overall desktop software, then no, it doesn’t have to be easy lol. All right then, keep your secrets.

I do think certain “elitist” attitudes bleed into the technical decision making. Programmers tend to see the beauty in the system architecture and it becomes it’s own value.

I think the idea was that authors / professors of textbooks have a reputation to loose if they publish bullshit. Like they are the authority on a topic and if wrong they loose that status / prestige.

Not sure if you’re joking, but that is what I’d want. A very samll / compact, open source/weights AI model that runs locally, can interpret what I’m looking for and then queries encyclopedias, or a local wikipedia, science paper abstracts, articles and search backends (ideally EU funded) to find the shit I’m looking for. Including sources to back up what it’s telling me.

We need to somehow democratize search engines and AI models could be immensely useful for this. Even just filtering out the AI slop. Too bad there was such a kneejerk backlash to AI in firefox.

I’ve read a while back that electrolysis is the only real way to permanently get rid of hair (ignoring new hair follicles). Does laser actually work to destroy hair follicles?

The chaos just didn’t reach the US

The consequences and refugees of the Bush imperialist wars did reach Europe though. It helped right wing ideology to rise.

In Trump’s first term, the one good thing was that he didn’t start a new war and create more refugees and devastation. Of course now he and his masters are purposefully wrecking the global economy which is worse.

Not for a newbie who wants to learn. Arch is actually not difficult at all, just time consuming.

Yeah but that is an issue. It’s perfectly legitimate to want stuff to just work and get to what I want to do.

You kinda implying I have a character defect for “not wanting to learn” lol. Humanity actually needs an easy to use open operating system.

Also I assume most of the reasons for why an OS does the things they way it does is tech debt lol.

Thanks, and yeah lol, the guy is definitely coherent. He’s using a lot of technical jargon and also has that weird “cult leader” / CEO way of speaking to draw people in. Talking weird seems like a prerequisite to make it to the top lol.

I think what he’s saying with “We don’t need to oversell this” is “hyping of AI” is inflating the economy and creating a bubble that has adverse effects on everybody. The problem is overhyped growth and inflation, not AI in itself. And AI is growing too fast because of grifters. A type of “pre-enshittification”.

Which seems a reasonable take. I think the anthropic guy said something similar with a moratorium or AI development, to slow down.

“We have to find ways to make these models raise the standards of living for every American”

He’s presumably a horrible person aiding in the genocide of Gaza and empowering the worst of humanity, so this most likely just PR lies. He’ll probably lobby against every single policy that raises the standards of living. He touting the same “extreme left just as bad as extreme right” (neo)liberal bullshit. The same “adults in the room centrism” nonsense. Probably offering to use Palantir to combat people like Mamdani (who are effectively moderate). And “half the people criticizing Israel don’t think it has a right to exist” is vile too.

But the headline is just disinfo. It’s probably just grifters slinging dirt back. Or “flack” in Chomsky’s propaganda model. The article reads like a disgusting polemic hackjob. Really nasty journalism by Joe Wilkins, meant to distract from any discussion of the actual issues of what he’s saying, and what many CEOs are probably thinking.

What the fuck, is this real? Moving billboards that make noise? That is just fucking insane

That would be the one in a billion case where it could clash, unless it’s “transformative artwork” and except from copyright, like you turn it into some kind of satire or social critique.

The larger problem with this discussion is that you’ll just deny facts. AI models don’t just “blend images”, that is disinformation. The models are too small and the input way too large. They are learning like an artist would, and if you would ask an artist to recreate the mona lisa or some iconic GTA5 scene he studied from memory, you’d get not dissimilar results.

What will happen is simply that AI models with be monopolized, free use will be impossible and only corporations and capitalists will have access to using AI models to make some kind of money. Imagine an army of robots that you can just tell to do some job. But you’ll not be allowed to build your own or operate one without paying license fees. The laws you look forward to will seal the permanent economic enslavement of humanity. And that will be that.

Yeah I’d love that, that would be the future.

But I’m a socialist though? /s

Sorry, my point was meant sarcastic and that they were never gonna prepare. The plan is to just let people die, so all preparations have been perfectly carried out. That is basically what was decided by not really doing anything. I mean even “Insulate Britain” was branded a terrorist organization lol.

Let natural selection free market sort it out
