There is no such thing as basic human decency when you're being used (aka "employed").

technocrit ,

Violence is the only way to sustain the unsustainable.

technocrit ,

So like the inverse meta?

technocrit ,

It's good enough to get banned though.

technocrit ,

A correct title would be: France bans Tiktok in New Caledonia making VPN usage soar

FTFY. It's not really a "correct" title if it completely obscures the aggressor.

technocrit ,

As long as it cannot be running while the car is driving

This is Tesla... So only as long as the state enforces it...

technocrit ,

government using shitty processors = after a decade those shitty processors should improve to parity.

Strangely this reminds me of when China pegged its currency to the dollar.

technocrit ,

Something like Othello-GPT, trained to predict the next move and only fed a bunch of moves, generated a virtual Othello board in its neural network and kept track of “my pieces” and “opponent pieces.”

AKA Othello-GPT chooses moves based on statistics.

Ofc it's going to use a virtual board in this process. Why would a computer ever use a real one board?

There's zero awareness here.

technocrit ,

If these people actually cared about "saving humanity", they would be attacking car dependency, pollution, waste, etc.

Not making a shitty cliff notes machine.

technocrit ,

Cars suck always.

technocrit ,

Foreign countries flooding the market with subsidized cars will end up killing local production.

That's good actually. Car dependency is a dead end for humanity.

technocrit ,

Imagine believing that regular people have any rights whatsoever to "public" land.

technocrit ,

TBH the system barely even prosecutes sexual assault. It's probably more likely to be raped by a cop than be helped in a rape prosecution.

technocrit ,

Title is a bit clickbaity by calling it AI.

That's literally every article about "AI".

... the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences, of which I am director

There's the reason. Self-promotion.

technocrit ,

Some red fash told me that anti-authoritarianism is the mental disorder of 'oppositional defiant disorder'.

It's "funny" when capitalist and "communist" quackery merge for the same function of violent social control.

No gulags, no sanitariums.

technocrit ,

It doesn't make sense to expect any kind of morality from an evil system. Google is just a mindless legal entity seeking rents/profits while the profiteers try to avoid state violence. It's like getting mad at a leech for being a leech.

technocrit ,

Yeah sure. Just like how politicians' high wages, plush healthcare, and privileged lifestyles have been paving a path for higher minimum wage, universal healthcare, and freedom for the oppressed. Their privilege is actually not our gain. Especially not sleazo fetterman.

technocrit ,

lifting people out of poverty

AKA creating even higher levels of inequality than usa.

technocrit ,

disconnecting lowers users political participation and also their propensity to believe misinformation

OP buried the wider point: People gotta be completely brainwashed and delusional to believe in political participation.

technocrit ,

Regular folks aren't sociopaths.

technocrit ,

Stalemate, failure, waste... These are all just more $$$ for the MIC.

It's a victory for capitalism but not humanity.

technocrit ,

I don't know if I've ever been in an airbnb that's actually somebody's house. It seems like they're mostly "investment properties" that people rent out. I'm sure that's great for housing. \s

Musk's X Corp loses lawsuit against Israeli data-scraping company ( www.reuters.com )

May 10 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk's X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform....

technocrit ,

Let's see what happens if China does it.

A cyberattack forces a big US health system to divert ambulances and take records offline ( abcnews.go.com )

A cyberattack on the Ascension health system operating in 19 states across the U.S. forced some of its 140 hospitals to divert ambulances, caused patients to postpone medical tests and blocked online access to patient records...

technocrit ,

As long as "healthcare" is run for profit by millions of disparate businesses, our data will never be safe.

technocrit , (edited )

then out of the blue present an aligned front to push a certain narrative.

This is a good point. I see this alot with ukraine. There are many famous shills (eg. max blumenthal) who have been promoting the fascist invasion of ukraine. Now these same shills are supporting Palestine. This would be good except they are just using the issue to lure people in. Then once they're hooked on all these shady accounts, they start talking about how ukrainians are nazis, how stalin was awesome, etc. It's so transparent but so dangerous. I imagine this happens on many fronts.

edit: Just remembered these podcasts about this: Part 2 and Part 3

technocrit ,

The car brain revs very loudly but goes nowhere.

technocrit ,

Scientific research always loses to anecdotal evidence about an entire continent. \s

technocrit ,

It's the privilege of the imperial core that mediocre people with pale skin get to waste immense resources riding around in giant cages with a few sofas, HVAC, entertainment system, a few tons of metal, chemicals, rubber, etc.

It's not surprise that empire is constantly attacking people and stealing their resources around the globe.

The sad part is that EVs are presented as the path forward when it's just a continuation of car dominance, dependency, destruction, violence, waste, etc.

technocrit ,

Imagine believing that China is the only country playing "currency games".

It's all just imaginary numbers based on printed paper.

technocrit ,

For a few years

Yeah cause car dependency is a completely unsustainable scam that's literally destroying the planet.

get subsidized by an authoritarian government

Is it really so much better to by subsidized by an colonial/imperial government (that's also authoritarian)?

Do you even understand what below cost means?

Yes. It's an ideological term that promotes imaginary numbers over social reality.

technocrit ,

started in 2019 and will be finished by 2079

Wow what a success story. I'll trust that everything works out great by 2079.

the current company is using the leftover cleanup funds

So the current company didn't have plenty of extra funds in funding? It's just taking a cut of the "leftover" cleanup funds? Sounds extremely effective and responsible.

\s

technocrit ,

EVs are all about saving car dependency and the auto cartels, not saving the environment.

technocrit ,

I think most people understand the difference between "existing" and "happening".

That was the whole point of the original comment.

technocrit ,

It seems far more bold to presume that general intelligence will be created any time soon when current machine learning is nowhere close.

technocrit ,

Elon with some next level scumbaggery exploiting the disabled.

technocrit ,

This is the same company that fired a bunch of people for opposing genocide, right? That didn't help morale? \s \s \s

technocrit ,

Strange... I found the quoted article if anyone cares.

technocrit ,

Can't humanity benefit from technology without it being some conflict between "China" (aka some official enemy) and "The West" (aka white supremacy)?

Capitalism, nationalism, and related systems completely subvert actual progress for the sake of violent control and profiting off planetary destruction.

technocrit ,

they don’t want a transition from combustion engines to electric cars They are saying because building electric cars is bad for the environment.

Improved that.

technocrit ,

Rivian is not targeting luxury. All their company goals are about sport utility.

No luxury, just regular violence, waste, etc.

technocrit , (edited )

TBH ending car dependency is a major part of any long term solutions. We should "regulate" this violent and planet wasting catastrophe out of existence replaced with rational and sustainable infrastructure.

technocrit ,

No suprise, considering that CEO is Jewish zionist

You're probably not trying to be anti-semitic, but let's use more accurate and relevant terms.

technocrit ,

I strongly recommend the original source over any source that posts videos of Ben Norton and similar grifters.

technocrit ,

TikTok has a huge user base and they're leaving.

Spotify has a huge user base but most people pay nothing. They'll be leaving if they never learn how to leech more money from artists and listeners. Thus, these kind of desperate moves like hiding lyrics.

technocrit ,

Yeah... Customs and Border Patrol wrote this article using MRSA as an example of a biological/terror threat.

technocrit ,

It's less of a crap shoot when it's intentionally used as a weapon.
