  • I’m somewhat split on this

    Basically you’re right, the US should not dictate what other countries transport between themselves, but…

    There are more than enough materials that indeed should not be allowed to be shipped anywhere. Heroine is one of those materials, there is no good application for that, period. Anything needed for actual medical or research purposes can be acquired via other channels. Two countries wanting to transport cocaine are up to no good, thatuch should be obvious.

    The bigger problems are that these assholes act as if criminals are the same as a country. You’re not at war with criminals, we have a justice system for that. Criminals go to court, and a judge and jury will sentence them and their main function is not to incarcerate the criminal, it’s to ensure the innocent aren’t incarcerated. You just cut all that away and started murdering possible criminals, but definitely a bunch of innocent citizens.

    Murdering innocent civilians is nothing new for the US, but it is new that it is done so brazenly, so openly, and worst of all, with pride.

    And basically nothing is done to stop this. These no kings protests had a net zero effect, nothing changed



  • Likely because the manufacturer used of off the shelf hardware that just happened to have GPS built in? That’s just how these things go, it’s easier to just use pre designed hardware for what you need, even if it has functionalities you won’t use.

    Hell, I’d argue that the vast majority of computer hardware out there isn’t using half of the features that it has.

    Just because features are there doesn’t mean they’re used, and definitely doesn’t automatically mean that there are evil or nefarious intentions with its design





  • it’s time

    It’s time? It should never have started in the first place, corporations are obviously not people, but Americans in their never ending wisdom of thinking they’re the best in the world at everything have been letting corruption slide into their government for the past 5 decades and their country is now at the point where it’s way, WAY worse than classical corrupt countries.

    They actually saw lawmakers and judges deciding that corporations can be people, but only when it suits them (can’t have corporate CEOs go to jail for the crimes of his corporation now, can we?) and they did nothing







  • ~~we ~~ you will have to work through societal disruption

    FTFY, because he won’t have to, and won’t work through societal disruption, he will just buy another Ferrari with his extra money or some shit

    Having said that, AI as it currently is isn’t AI, it’s fucking LLMs, and LLMs as they are today won’t do any of this shit that is being promised. LLMs pretty much have platoed out, and won’t be getting any better soon.

    The AI bubble will burst, it’s just a question of how quickly and how much of the world will explode with it

    And yet again, not only did everyone in power let this bubble form AGAIN, everyone in power AGAIN three everything they got on top of it, believing that the rainbow s end really did have a pot of gold. When the economy eventually breaks badly, AGAIN, those in power will bail out the CEOs with OUR money, blame some easy target that isn’t them, and claim there was no way to avoid any of this shit. A few pretend to care laws will be put in place, they won’t do shit to prevent the next bubble, but not that it matters because those laws will then be revealed again 5-10 years from now because they’ll be remotely standing in the way of the next bubble that is going to be awesome for everyone the top 0.1%

    So. Can we now finally outlaw multi millionaires and abovd? Can we now finally cap personal networh at 10-20 million dollars and any income above that goes 100% to taxes? Can we finally cap company networths at 1 billion, maybe 1000 employees, max? Any income above that, 100% to tax

    I don’t want a single trillion dollar company, I want a million million dollar companies
