No to Hamas terrorism. No to the oppression of Palestinians. End the sieges of Gaza and Taiz.

If you're rude to me, I'll block you.
But Communism would also fall under this umbrella.
Your description of it seems to be different than the one quoted earlier, in www.sjsu.edu/faculty/watk...
"Groups" is plural. In China there's only one group which matters: the CCP. And it's increasingly controlled by one guy at the top.
Does it? In China the CCP rules. Corporations exist only if the CCP allows them to exist.
Just ask Jack Ma what happened to him after he overstepped the boundary of allowed behaviour.
I also think that this post is hyperbole: bsky.app/profile/sgtv...
Eg. the use of AI is likely to REDUCE income inequality between the rich Western countries and the developing world.
The way that most people are trying to use AI is to exacerbate income inequality and remove artists and workers from the economic equation
Iโm sorry but I feel like you are intentionally misinterpreting us here. I also find the mental picture of Data arguing with a Cyberman fitting
But, as everyone who ever worked in management or regulation will tell you, humans are also very creative in finding ways to do mischief while respecting the letter of the constraints you impose on them! Like RL agents.
I think you misunderstood my point. Constrained optimisation means rather "maximise ROI without killing people". The problem ofc is that humans do not work alone, they have a whole society and culture imposing constraints on their actions. We don't have to spell out most of the constraints to them.
No, not at all. Maybe you confused me with the other guy (Stuart Watt)?
Well. I knew that sooner or later you will prefer to assume bad faith than just accept that we have different viewpoints ๐ข
"It's only understanding if it comes from the prefrontal cortex region of mammal brain, otherwise it's just sparkling autocomplete."
I agree with the 2nd post, but find quite a lot of hyperbole in the 1st.
Eh, computers can do constrained optimisation too. And have you ever spoken to a corporate manager maximising ROI?
And then we come to the question "what does it have to do with AI" and discover that it doesn't have much, really.
Other things used historically to augment fascism:
- guns
- airplanes
- ships
- internal combustion engine
- trains
- typewriters
If what you say is true, then it's irrelevant. If every system has fascist tendencies, I can just disregard that fact and just mind my own business.
Or liberators (depending on what your relation to Saddam's regime has been).
Speak for yourself. Maybe you think of yourself as a machine b/c you use a smartphone, but I haven't lost touch with my humanity.
Who exactly in SV is promising to "make trains run on time"?
By that token, everything and everyone has "fascist tendencies".
Things are either intrinsically good or intrinsically evil. There is no nuance.
I think efficiency is intrinsically evil because it is not intrinsically good.
With a machine, the absence of a desire for an outcome inherently discounts that outcome as a criterion of success.
If you build a computer to make money without respect for human cost, you have created a murder-machine.
It was also a core goal of Soviet communism :)
I've worked in the AI biz long enough to notice that everything we don't like there is "eugenics".
Who is doing that now? AI chatbots aren't "reducing humans to machines".
Especially that the moral cause against GenAI is pretty weak.
It's a moral panic, don't expect it to be consistent or logical.
I'm for easy immigration, but also for reserving the ability of the government to suspend it if it's abused by foreign actors.
Also, enforcing eg local norms for commerce (sale of controlled substances) in practice requires some kind of a border.
Isn't your view basically legitimising Russia's invasion of Ukraine? If border controls are inhumane, than so is trying to stop a tank entering your country.
The man is a fucking monster. I hate him.
Just yet another confirmation of the key feature of this war: both Israel and Hamas are perfectly fine with piles of dead Palestinian civilians and, at least in the short-medium run, there is no way to effectively protect them from both forces simultaneously
Hamas leader said civilian death toll could benefit militant group in Gaza war, WSJ reports | CNN
The military leader of Hamas has said he believes he has gained the upper hand over Israel and that the spiralling civilian death toll in Gaza would work in the militant groupโs favor, according to aย ...
www.cnn.comAFAIK it were the MEPs who were more critical of Big Tech
Also communal ownership of resources was more common, eg grazing land, or foraging rights. You didn't steal wood, you collected it where it was your right to collect.
That the Russians who took over the aristocratic landholdings in Ukraine didn't have to move there to exploit them. Just like the English landowners in Ireland.
Using an image or a gif, show a movie you are sure you have seen more than 10 times
Except for the part when you had to kill your baby because too many were born that year, yeah
Absentee landlords didn't move to Ireland either (hence the adjective)
