They’re absolutely not that incompetent. They’re on the pockets of people who profit directly from this. Follow the money, and all that.

We also have a bunch of agents and harnesses for free

Except these programs keep your people alive and healthy and able to work and consume and live. The other money just kills people. And it’s also not just about this “operation” (ag…

No. The point is that people are using AI for this, which was the question your parent comment was answering. Humans select the wrong targets, computer select the wrong targets. It…

Probably from actually paying human beings for their work

Lots of countries around Brazil are taking pix. Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. And you can totally expand the idea. The fact that you need national id for pix doesn’t mean the idea …

Rioting is undemocratic… Yeah, I guess we ARE hard-working sheep and get what we deserve…

> Or that they're targeting the mass retail market, where people are technically ignorant, and "unlimited" is required to compete. So… Marketing has taken over, just as parent comm…

Postponed my ios update as much as I could. Things are now brighter, bigger, full of animations, and somehow worse to read and use. Some buttons are so big and colorful and confusi…

Guy sees a lot of problems stemming from wrong assumptions, bad management, bullshit jobs “needed” by the capitalist mode of production and profit motive, badly conducted wars, wha…

That is a fundamental distinction, yes. But the notion that exporting brings wealth to a country is… kinda not really the case anymore. If that wealth is ending up in very few peop…

You… What? How can you say that like it’s a real argument? You’re REALLY, in 2026, defending that the US is “bringing democracy” to other countries by force? I… How?

Yes, such are capitalism’s incentives, I’m afraid. But this could have been managed. FDR managed it, other governments somewhat managed it with policy in times of war, like WW2. Th…

Did big businesses in the West really think “investing” in China would lead to “freedom” and such? Isn’t that framing a bit naive? They went to China because it was cheaper. They w…

I don’t think they’re disgusted by Chomsky’s work because it’s wrong. They’re disgusted because of the recently surfaced ties with Epstein. Not sure the approach holds.

* Surprised Pikachu face *

No one ever forced any company to work with China. They all went to China over decades because it was cheaper and made more profits, knowing full well there’d be technological tran…

They could also not invade a country that did nothing to attack them, but I guess that’s asking too much.

I’m sorry, which hostile nation?

Yes. The tanker plane with its turned off transponder off the coast is totally not a military operation.

This is how cable worked, no? And how streaming has been working. And it MIGHT be getting things cheaper, maybe? I guess? But watching specific stuff you want is hell. The cognitiv…

Hm, the State thoroughly coopting private enterprises to oppress their people… I wonder what’s the name of that…

Okay, sorry, I’m not from the US. I thought the constitution might have something along those lines. I’m clearly wrong. No wanting to bash this new law, just wanted to understand w…
