What is this, the Übermensch Expanded Universe? Maybe actually learn history.

“Pushing back against the government” doesn’t even make sense. These people are oligarchs. They largely are the government. Who attended Trump’s inauguration? Who hosted Trump’s inauguration party? These US tech oligarchs.

This person keeps coming back to waste our time, it seems. Previously. Previously.

Trump does know how tariffs work. At least enough to know the consumer ultimately pays.

He’s not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows how to kayfabe. Don’t assume that what pretends to know is what he actually knows.

He’s no rocket surgeon but he’s also not as dumb is he pretends to be. All politicians are actors, and Trump is a master of kayfabe.

I would describe the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, as the oligarchic son of an apartheid mining oligarch. His personality “quirks” are an irrelevant distraction that excuse & explain nothing.

YOU GET A TARIFF! YOU GET A TARIFF! YOU GET A TARIFF! EVERY BODY. GETS. A TARIFF!

That reminds me, I was temporarily blinded once from breathing in too much soldering fume.

OpenAI was started to be as open as possible, and to prevent the kinds of capitalism-driven Closed-AI development that they have now themselves become.

No, that was what OpenAI said its goals originally were. They were lying. They always intended for it to become a capitalist venture. Anyone who listens to Tech Won’t Save Us or This Machine Kills or Team Human have known all along. Or anyone like me who’s been in the industry for thirty years.

I would place blame more on the decades of grinding neoliberalism. But I know the chain of events that lead to 911.

Does it look like we got poutine money?

1. Nothing short of a large, sustained general strike is going to remove him, I don’t think.
2. Wouldn’t Vance just be more of the same?

Lemmy: i find myself being overly polished when writing -> makes my posts feel ai generated (something against the rules).

Checks modlog…
Don’t emulate the LLM format if you don’t want to be mistaken for LLM slop.

We gonna build a Great Wall and make pay for it.

• The extent to which Signal’s server software is open source has been a point of contention.
• Loops isn’t open source.

  Is Loops open source?

  It will be! We plan on open sourcing the platform after it reaches a stable and easy to maintain state.
