Really??? It’s very clear Trump shouldn’t be anywhere near power. It being a binary system mean you vote for the other person, who is clearly less bad. Less bad all you get to vote for under crap voting systems. It couldn’t be clearer Trump is a wrongen.
You need a voting system that supports multiple parties. It’s amazing we in the UK manage multiple parties at all with FPTP.
The US needs to go multi party with a better voting system, but I don’t see it able to do that until it has hit bottom.
This is why they are building bunker fortresses.
You say they have nothing, but a lot of people are using it. Now I’d argue many aren’t getting value out of it, even at a 10th to 100th the actual cost, but they think they are. (Often it is someone else has to fix the slop)
And I’m not saying a government bailout is the end of it. It just kicks the can down the road further. And probably makes the final pop bigger.
There is a reason these guys are building bunkers. It’s not AI they are fearing. It is us. Rising up and demanded retribution. They are literally trying to work out how they can keep their security people under control in a collapse. And hoping to replace them with bots. Thinking they can maintain that themselves. Or leave earth and hide where we can’t go. It’s all absolutely mental.
Hope we are wrong, I just don’t see going differently.
I’m not saying it is a good idea. Or even one the populous wants. I’d be shocked if it all allowed to collapse and dominoes fall where they may. It will all be wrapped in the flag and about maintaining America lead/power (monopolies) and force fed to voters by both parties. There are only two parties to buy.
When the dominoes fall, it is unlikely to be neatly contained due to the scale if nothing else.
It will all be about maintaining America lead/power (monopolies). Wrapped in a flag. It doesn’t have to be popular. There are only two parties and they will both be for it.
Yeah, pretty sure they will get bailed out.
It will be 2008 all over again and we are still in the 2008 aftermath. Democrats are not brave enough to change things. No one who is going to be allowed near power is talking breaking up the monopolies and regulation. I don’t think things will improve until they have got worse still.
As a Brit, I just hope we, and Europe in general, kick America dependency to not get pulled round by their whims and eventual collapse. But most people’s digital lives are completely dependent on American monopolies. So much so they don’t dare even see it.
Big money is very much “copyright for me and not for thee”. Which feeds into broken legal systems, especially the US’s.
This is one of the AI apocalypses I do worry about. That and the Idiocracy/slopocalypse one.
Please do. We need to do this for copyleft. I’m surprised FSF and SFC haven’t already start going at these companies in defence of copyleft. Copyright I’m a bit sceptical all as it’s really about enrichment of the owner, copyleft is about the enrichment of the commons. But it’s all the same law.
The AI bubble is bigger than the dotcom bubble. It’s bigger than the subprime bubble. We are still living in the wreckage of that bubble, 18 years later.
The American tech monopolies won’t be allowed to go backrupt. Too much world power to lose. They will get bailed out.
Religion is a whole other thing. Sure, it can direct your moral compass, but you don’t need it to have a moral compass. It can make a bad person act good, but it can also make a good person act bad.
I agree that in the end, it is all about the effect you actions, or inactions, have on others.
He has always claimed this apolitical stance. He hasn’t an issue with closed software. He used bitlocker until it became the problem it was always going to be. He not in it for freedom, just for the benefits of the freedom to him. He is an engineer, not a philosopher.
Only of course that stance doesn’t add up. What you will, and won’t, work with and on is a political choice.
If you are willingly fixing the trains at Auschwitz, you are a Nazi engineer, not just an engineer.
Loads of tech people take the stance they are apolitical, but are they really amoral when the chips are down?
Good read, but I would say anything with more than one person is political. Trying to be apolitical is political. Humans are political.
I think this is a happy side effect to them.
Vote for the least bad in the system you have and push for a better system. Just not taking part of one of the things that gives bad people power.
