Family plan is fine for us. What features do they even have that are on the other plans?

I wonder why every major AI company has chosen in tandem to not do that then 🤔

Let’s assume:

1. we live in a world with 100% clean energy
2. AI produces no pollution
3. AI puts no stress on any of the electricity grids it’s plugged into

It’s still a plagiarism machine that is atrophying important cognitive skills in a big chunk of its users

Understood. Education is an absolutely vital aspect of worker liberation, which is why historical communist governments have prioritized mass literacy programs. It is unfortunate that in many cases it required a revolution and a change of ruling class for this education to be prioritized.

Fair enough! For me I think it came down to a perspective shift on the design of liberal democracies. I would love it if the owning class was forward-thinking enough to allow social democracies to function well longitudinally. It seems that the dynamic is that workers fight for protections and social safety nets and then owners slowly gut those programs and push austerity. On a long enough time scale, social democracy decays.

I used to think we could essentially protest and activism our way out of this because I viewed liberal democracy as something which was fundamentally designed to serve the people and was corrupted to serve the owning class. Now I view liberal democracies as something which was designed to serve the owning class from the start. There was a big reason land ownership was originally required to vote in the United States. Lenin says in State and Revolution:

A democratic republic is the best possible political shell for capitalism, and, therefore, once capital has gained possession of this very best shell … it establishes its power so securely, so firmly, that no change of persons, institutions or parties in the bourgeois-democratic republic can shake it.

I think this naturally leads to questions about how to deal with the entrenchment of capitalists at a fundamental level and the answers lie in historical examples of societies which were able to do so. And all of this is made significantly more urgent by climate change.

I’m not a communist

I use it a couple times a day and always double check its output. It works decently well for what I want it to do. Programming work and our codebase has a lot of boilerplatey things

I can’t imagine the nightmare of trying to reproduce “incorrect data” and they just send you the prompt instead of the query

It’s not possible in any corporate stores purely for the fact that they use facial recognition extensively. Doesn’t matter if you can technically get away with paying cash and using a fake name. You’re being tracked the moment their cameras can see you and they have extensive profiles on people even if you’ve never used a debit card, given them an email, or given them a phone number.

She’s well represented already

For children’s media? I’m curious what a 10 is

On a scale of 1 to Demon Hunter, what are we talking?

I just looked it up. There were 2 horses who played Artax so they could film continuously while not working the horses continuously. They trained the horses for 7 weeks to be comfortable submerging themselves up to the neck in mud. Still a wild thing to do to a horse but neither of them died

I miss the old Internet so much. What we’ve gained in speech and features we’ve lost in freedom and control

That’s fair. Would not recommend either way

This except I had people’s phone numbers so I thought I was safe. Everyone I’ve ever made friends with on here actually.

I’ve been following a TikToker who’s well read and is constantly arguing this. His position essentially boils down to race being the primary contradiction, not class. And his anti-Marx stance seems to boil down to the need to de-center white thinkers and that the adoption of Marx doesn’t by revolutionaries of color doesn’t inherently make Marxism an anticolonial ideology. It’s hard to have high quality discussion with him unfortunately because white leftists are constantly making asses of themselves in his lives.

So your relationship is based exclusively on hanging out alone at each other’s places? Have you asked her why? Like does she have a reason for not liking those other things? I don’t know how you’d stay in long term contact with a person you didn’t live with under those conditions.

Much more common to become a girl and then talk to yourself

Yeah the comic reeks of PMC brainworms. I say that as someone with PMC brainworms. “You’re special enough to make decisions, but make sure you cultivate too much self-doubt to make true change.”
