Be honest, that’s not where millions of Americans are. 3 jobs, no overtime, ludicrous living costs is where many Americans are.

I’d really appreciate it if Bernie and co would go whole hog. 50% is a half measure, whereas proposing full nationalization would be more respected on a world stage and probably in congress.

Oh cool, sounds lovely.

They’re not irreconcilable when you read them, lol. I’m saying you have a choice between two options, but one is guaranteed not to work (trying to get rid of AI).

I don’t know how to seize AI, but I imagine you’d have to break the law to some extent. Maybe get comfortable with that, for starters.

If you want to try to get rid of it, I can’t stop you. I’m unaware of an example of that ever working, though. I think it’s better to seize that tech from the people who would likely use it to make people’s lives worse.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that internet discussion is political action.

Yeah, it’s almost completely privatised. The system doesn’t work like it should. Capitalism is acting just like a disease.

This works. It’s like watching an exorcism. I don’t have a lot of achievements in my life, but this was a proud moment.

Wish in one hand…

American justice isn’t a guarantee, and until political action comes back into style we can’t expect good outcomes.

None of those things were new technology. The assembly line didn’t go away when people were angry about being laid off.

If you’re talking about a specific product of AI (“art” for example), you might want to make that clearer. If you’re talking about AI in general, you’re treating this one thing like it’s a reason to try turning back the clock.

The rational thing to do would be getting politically involved to get AI out of corporate ownership.

He was a scumbag union buster long before he “went crazy”. His parents used slave labor to mine emeralds before his company built cars. The people of this country will believe any bubbleheaded legend of a good rich guy not look him up until he shows his ass. Too little, too late.

I used mainstream sm forever, but there came a breaking point for my mental health. Those platforms are made to keep people glued to them and I got tired of the dependency and the lost of focus/memory.

Is “dying” the right word? They’re struggling, but I won’t be surprised if this administration or the next bails Meta out, since fb and insta are essentially public services for a lot of people, as much as I hate that. The smart thing for the fed government to do is to nationalize Meta’s platforms.

Am I supposed to be mad about this? The only jobs available to most of them basically constitute slavery.

You couldn’t pay me to watch that.

Can’t remember the last time I had my throat slipped. I think about it and touch myself at night.

I was hoping she could fix me.

I didn’t mean to imply that liberalism and conservativism are completely indistinguishable, but rather that conservative thought generally represents the right wing of liberalism in the west. Sorry if this was unclear.

This omits what an earlier comment pointed out: that your typical MAGA/MAGA-adjacent “conservative” public figure is essentially fascist.

Chef’s kiss emoji on this one. Absolute legend.

Better late than never, but the left coalition of the party could have done this 75,000 Palestinians ago.
