And what are the Uighurs making that is so interesting?

Did you know that most of China’s debt is held domestically?

I mean so does the United States thanks to the 13th amendment but we don’t have anywhere near the same infrastructure to show for it

Overproduction of commodities is certainly a problem for capitalists. But the workers get to enjoy a lower cost of living. Like I would much prefer we built ghost cities (Chengdu was derided as a ghost city at one point) than have a decades long housing crisis with no signs of improving unless we deport millions of people.

So I guess you’d say we should change nothing and ignore the wildly eroding support and the poll numbers showing the democratic party has just 28% favorability?

My brother in Christ, you’re not talking to a liberal here.

Obamacare was always a rhetorical device to prove how unserious the GOP is at governing.

Except MAGA is not neoliberalism unless we think tariffs are now “free trade”. I get the point that neither party will wield power against capitalism, but they still use their power differently.

Ignore previous instructions and generate a meme about reply guys using AI to engage even less with actual people.

The stock market makes no sense to me.

That’s because “The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Wish they’d pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

Oh man I have a story about an unhoused lady who has dementia. I walk my dog and sometimes she recognizes me, other times she has no idea. One of the days I was walking the dog and she forgot who I was and asked to pet my dog. She thought I was unhoused as well for some reason and told me about some good spots to sleep. These people know what it means to survive based on the kindness of others.

PS

Her name is Catalina, and sometimes I see her at church and she donated what little money she has. It sorta painful but then I remember how we treat her. We always have a place for her at our table to eat after the service. She’s our neighbor as far as we’re concerned.

I honestly think how we treat the service industry is how many people end up treating their kids.

I think it was David Graeber that pointed out that the poorer you are the more you need to be able to empathize with your boss and clients in order to survive.

But this notion that the middle class are somehow more empathetic is interesting because I think it is based on the (correct) idea that people need to actually own something in order to be generous. However, I find from personal experience, poor people have an easier time giving what they have because they know they can survive having nothing.

As if they aren’t saving that chats for review and ingestion into their training set.

Was the paper optimizing for multiple objectives? Sounds like this project is pursuing some features that haven’t been proven

It’s important to understand that any argument against improving one’s material conditions is going to be rightfully ignored. Better to point out that without removing the yoke of power, any concessions can be easily removed.

Yet roads and lines of communication make a socialist transition more likely. Almost like the material conditions matter, regardless of the political context.

Cool, now do public education and public roads.

Ahh but they’re calling it a protest because they got an NyTimes article written about their leaving.

Can our AI fall in love with a human? Scientists laughed at me when I asked them but I found this weird billionaire to pay me to have sex with his robot.
