Comment The regime wants fewer, poorer people (Score 3, Informative) 93

It really is that simple.

They want to destroy social trust domestically in order to isolate you, take your money (via the national sales tax masquerading as tariffs), take your vote so you can't fight back, and - if you're not a steady milk cow ready to be led around by the nose, they want you to die.

And if you're not white, their kind of Xian or attached to things like the franchise, well, they want worse for you.

This year is make-or-break for Freedom in the US, and probably a big chunk of Europe. These fuckers need to be out of power and in jail.

Comment No shit (Score 2, Insightful) 53

The US is a rogue nation wearing a superpower skinsuit.

One that has already telegraphed a strong desire to push Europe into fascism but also abandon it.

Trump/Vance and the surrounding machine is gleefully shitting on the international order, and while it will be disastrous for the US long-term, it is a very real short-term threat now.

Comment Re:flock cameras (Score 1) 40

no. What is scary is that some company gets to see everyone in real time, following them wherever they go, use AI to infer information that cannot be easily obtained otherwise. It is constant surveillance that is scary.

As to whoever being caught with cameras, certainly they will be. Also there will be people completely abused by the system, there will be political prosecution, there will be destruction of business, there will be rape and theft and destruction of property rights all based on the compiled information that is easily accessible by your local corrupt cops, by the corrupt FBI agents, by the corrupt IRS agents, by the corrupt judges and by the POTUS, whoever it is at the time. That's what is scary, that's why it shouldn't be allowed.

Comment Microsoft Shitpile (Score 2) 97

I'm just going to call it the Shitpile.

In a decade, when they've decided that Microsoft ActivePilot 365 Live Pro Gold fails to accurately convey the functionality of their state of the art robot that only needs 12kW seconds to accurately add two numbers, Shitpile will still be the most accurate description.

once again, will Californians be able to demand that flock and other types of cameras delete and do not record everyone's personal information?

with AI they DO have your personal data. They can see you and follow you in real time, they know where you live, they know what you drive, they know who you are, they know everything about you because you cannot escape 80,000 + cameras everywhere, ALPR (Automatic License Plate Readers) and PTZ (Pan to Zoom) cameras.

There is no more 4th amendment in the USA with this technology available to the state.

again, what war did it prevent? Korea? Vietnam? Iraq/Iran? USSR Afghanistan? Serbia? USA/ Afghanustan? USA / Iraq? USA / Panama thing? ruzzia (permanent UN security council member) Ukraine in 2014? in 2022? Constant attacks on Israel by every mofo piece of shit islamist state out there, pkus hamas, hezbollah?

World war 3 (nucleat kind?) is prevented not by the antisemites in UN but by the promise of MAD. Everything else is happening all the time. It is a pathetic joke and needs to be abolished.

Comment Re:Never understood how one was expected to contri (Score 1) 124

Yes, the Wikipedia similarity is because of the similarity of the contribution models. The core problem is moderation - you need rules tight enough to keep overall quality high enough that people trust it enough to want to visit. But doing that raises the cost for all contributors high enough that a lot of folks don't want to put up with it.

Kind of an idle question, but I wonder if Spolsky saw it coming or got lucky.

preventing which war exactly? You do know that ruzzia is a permanent member of the UN security council, right?

Yes, I do not like the UN. No, I do not believe UN exists to prevent wars. It exists today as a bad joke, a horrible reflection of the ugly reality. USA shouldn't host it, it should quit the stupid thing.

Comment Yes (Score 1) 93

AI can give many a 0 day work week, is that good enough for you? A 0 day work week and also 0 pay for it. I think that's fair.

As to 'resentment', what does that have to do with having fewer resources than you actually earned? If you earn something and people take it away we have a proper name for it - theft.

Easy. UN is a bunch of terrorist sympathizers and anti semites, including ruzzia, and here is what they are all about:

UN is an organization whose entire existence is a bad joke, aimed at blaming one single country of Israel more every year than all other countries combined. All this while Assad murders hundreds of thousands, North Korea enslaves millions, ruzzia starts wars to murder hundreds of thousands, whatever the hell happens in Africa all the time, whatever China is doing, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan... nothing matters. The only thing that matters there is to attack Israel.
