Lots to criticize about China, but it’s nothing if not proven as a stable partner in terms of its approach to international diplomacy and trade. They are consistent about what their goals are.

Nobody can count on the USA anymore. Perhaps they never could and it was always a paper tiger.

The DSA is the best you’ll get.

I just don’t see what argument you’re making.

Steel production is necessary for infrastructure. The point is AI is not efficient. It’s adding energy load to the grid in the supposed name of doing things more efficiently, but where is evidence of these gains. Data centres drawing huge amounts of power to do what exactly? Run LLMs?

There is the promise and reality. If it was replacing manual labour and freeing humanity to pursue arts, crafts, and scientific inquiry great. But there’s no evidence it’s doing that.

Be a politician and give direct, honest, and true answers to questions… For a start.

Virgin adult having a chad baby is some Bethlehem shit. Praise.

Too many people are either scared or complicit. The US needs some of those heroes they keep inventing for their blockbusters. They probably only need the power of courage and willingness to sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Only being the operative word.

Just your run of the mill efforts to further the cause of chaos in the name of profit by good ol Uncle Sam.

We want to stop Iran from building a nuclear weapon by giving them every reason to acquire one.

It’s amazing. Good for capitalistic competition, but I do wish we could all just work together as well.

Not if they can help it.

Sure, but it’s a good question that should be taken seriously, because it matters. It matters when people don’t actually care. It’s hard for normal people with hearts and souls to imagine. That’s why we invented devils and demon possession in the past.

To say they don’t give a shit, is to answer your question. It’s called sociopathy. It’s a plague among the Epstein class and those who would want to be a part of it.

You think they give a shit? They buy the bullshit that this is endangering their children. That there’s social contagion and theirs could be next, and it also means their kid might be going to hell etc.

Unfortunately, changing hearts and minds is complicated. But it’s the only way we get to a world of empathy toward those of us who are different.

Jerrrrry!!

If the technology was energy efficient that’d be one thing, but we’re accelerating climate change and poisoning the planet in order to automate what are in many cases creative or intellectual jobs, not hard labor, and society isn’t even seeing any gains from it. Cost of living is higher than ever, and social programs are being cut like crazy.

So who actually benefits? See OP.

You’re right for the most part, but I find it hard to find much positivity.

When efficient “AI” models run locally and solve specific tasks without insane energy use, that’ll be different. That’s probably coming, once the bubble bursts. But the bubble isn’t going to take the people who created it down with them, as usual.

Sure, but did those jobs go to those who lost theirs? And as others have pointed out, not always and forever. Just logically speaking a lot of automation at best will “free” people to pursue other things, and so could boost creativity and innovation… But people need freedom and financial security for that to be possible.

In short, I’m shilling for UBI, guaranteed minimum income and other socialist programmed to spread the value gain from technology back into the community.

Has the argument been awful, or just the outcome?

I mean, when have those who lost their jobs due to technological obsolescence actually been looked after directly, rather than left to fend for themselves?

Nah, if this is headlines then you know they’re desperate for attention. Woke is so back.

That’s exactly right. He made a mistake about the strategy. It happens. I still think the US is better for his having been in his role.

His mistakes are human. Nothing that should ever have tarnished his legacy. But propaganda is real.

Yesh.
