Using bideogame to describe reality really resonates with people, relating videogame mechanics to the mechanics of life really helps a lot of people visually understand things.

“Your boss stealing surplus value is like your boss ksing after you did almost all of the dps”

“M-C-M’ is like how people use real money to buy bis gear which they then use to farm valuable loot that they cash out with real money at the end of the ladder season”

“Redistribution of wealth is just a ladder reset”

There’s no reason to buy a blood diamond

“Uh aktually, all the good artisans exclusively work with blood diamonds, so if you want jewelry that doesn’t look like ass, you still have to buy blood diamonds.” - some dipshit argument I’ve stumbled upon irl

TIL Gorbachev is secret seeseepee spy.

The Soviet Union wouldn’t have intervened in Venezuela. And we know this because they withdrew nukes in Cuba against the wishes of Castro and Che.

In a post-October 7th world, the counter is simply “so where are the goddamn bodies then?” It takes less than a minute to find hundreds of photos and videos of Palestinian kids with their brains falling out of their blown off skulls and Palestinians carrying bags of viscera of what’s left of their murdered relatives. Xinjiang is more than 4500 times larger than Gaza, so there should be around 4k more footage of genocide in Xinjiang if there was an actual genocide.

“B-b-but cultural genocide” Cultural genocide always follows or is concurrent with genocide genocide because people never willingly surrender their culture without putting up a fight first, which means the people most able to put up a fight have to be exterminated first in order for cultural genocide to actually work. So where are the goddamn bodies then?

“B-b-but seeseepee surveillance state” More than the Zionist entity being a surveillance state itself and pioneer of surveillance technology? The Zionist entity has completely surrounded Gaza as an open prison, which is very easy to do when Palestinians are crammed into a rectangle that’s only 365 km^2. Nothing goes in or out without the Zionist entity’s knowledge (except for paragliders apparently lmao) and yet we still see footage of dead Palestinians every day. So where are the goddamn bodies then?

This is AI music. Their channel description admits it:

We’ve grown more open to AI’s role in creation, as it becomes a standard part of many artistic workflows. Being against it can feel like a privilege. The technology is here to stay, and we aim to use it in a meaningful way that resonates with us and our audience. Meaning is not universal, what may seem empty to you can bring joy and connection to others, regardless of the tools used.

Incidentally, the music of SFII and a lot of videogame music of that era was inspired by this particular Japanese jazz fusion album. Here’s one track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sd3uuAKCz4

Sound familiar?

Hans “Santa Claus” Klaus has his grubby hands in almost every single major drug trafficking operation. From his drug lord fortress in Argentina, he has bases throughout the globe including the North Pole. Klaus first made money manufacturing coke-infused carbonated beverages for the SS, only fleeing to Argentina after the Red Army destroyed his factory manned by concentration camp inmates. Rumors swirl of Klaus being the mastermind behind the JFK assassination after scholars discover a previously undiscovered recording where JFK clearly stressed the need to begin an offensive against Christmas.

Someone finally punched Jack Paul’s smug punchable face.

Those are just liberals who hate Deng for running over them students with his comically large tank.

I always thought tier lists made the most sense if you just consider them a ranking list based on matchups weighed with the proportion of characters within a given tournament or meta.

The general formula to calculate the weighed matchup average for any given character would be:

weighed matchup average of char x = (percentage of char 1 used in a tournament)*(matchup between x and char 1) + (percentage of char 2 used in a tournament)*(matchup between x and char 2) + … + (percentage of char n used in a tournament)*(matchup between x and char n)

percentage of char n used in a tournament is just empirical data. Even matchups can be empirical data as well if we treat it as the percentage of matches won by x over n instead of theorycrafting like most people treat it.

I just hate how vibe based tier lists are. And I wouldn’t mind it being vibe based except people still treat them with a veneer of something that’s quantifiable.

The real divide is between modders vs game devs, not AAA games vs “indie” games.

Abrahamic religions in general are a bit philosophically incompatible with materialism.

They are also philosophically incompatible with dialectics. Not all religions are undialectical like the Abrahamic religions. The nature of God is essentially that of a static entity that cannot and will not change. This is anathema to the idea of internal contradictions driving development because by virtue of being a perfect entity, God cannot have internal contradictions and has no direction to go to because he is already there.

You can see the undialectical conception of God spill over to other parts of the theology. There’s a belief that certain early Christians held that Jesus started out as an ordinary man and through facing and overcoming trials ends up as the Son of God. This is a dialectical understanding of Jesus because his nature changes from man to godly through external contradictions (being tempted by Satan, being crucified) and internal contradictions (praying in the Garden of Gethsemane before being betrayed by Judas).

But of course, this was seen as heretical and what we have instead is a Jesus that is already godly the moment he was born. He started out as the Son of God and he ended up as the Son of God. But the static treatment of Jesus in most (almost all?) branches of Christianity makes his entire journey pointless. Satan offering the world to Jesus if he would worship Satan means absolutely nothing if Jesus is already the Son of God. Why would someone who has a throne in Heaven reserved for him be remotely tempted by the crowns of various shitty Earthly kingdoms?

Late reply to the post.

My question is - and this is an open-ended question - would this be art? Is this artistry? Has deepseek become an artist? Why so? Why not?

I would say no because Deepseek cannot perform labor. No tool can perform labor. That’s the whole point of the dialectic between labor and capital. Without labor, capital is just dead stuff. Capital is dead labor, that, vampire-like, only lives by sucking living labor after all. Value can only intrinsically be found within nature and can only be further cultivated through labor. The labor is ultimately performed by the prompter and human technical staff maintaining the data centers and other network infrastructure, not the LLM.

I don’t think LLMs or any algorithms in general can perform labor. At best, an android with AGI can perform labor, but that’s different from saying the AGI itself performs labor. The human equivalent would be like saying the consciousness of the human worker performs labor when it’s the entire body of the human, from their eyes to their muscles to their heart to their lungs to their skeleton and so, that performs labor.

None of this would happen if all Mamdani news gets quarantined to /c/electoralism.
