AI of some kind will replace parts of our jobs, but LLM chatbots won’t except in some specific cases. This is just a hype bubble.

I don’t know why they even left Reddit. Were they really that mad about app development?

ICE is under Homeland Security. Besides, being new doesn’t really make them not the Gestapo. The Gestapo was new at one point as well after all.

It was bad in 2004 too, people just didn’t realize that ICE was the Gestapo back then.

The mask is off. That’s all.

And yet they never catch up. Why do you think that is?

The goal is to keep them weak and dependent, not help them stand as equals with France and Germany.

Sure, but you seem to be under the impression the only bots are the people that disagree with you.

There’s nothing stopping bots from grooming you by agreeing with everything you say.

Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

Do you still think you’re going to be allowed to vote for the next president?

It isn’t to help them catch up, it’s to keep them limping along without collapsing entirely, while at the same time keeping them dependent so they don’t think of trying to escape. It has the same function as the IMF/World Bank.

In terms of larger countries, it has been beneficial for France and Germany, less so for Italy

It’s just a way for the wealthy metropoles to turn poorer members of the EU into neocolonies. Yeah, it’s great for rich Europeans! Not so much for everyone else. Without the ability to deficit spend (because they lack currency sovereignity) they are forced to do austerity and privatization. It’s just financial imperialism.

It’s a bad system and it will collapse.

Ask Greece or the other Mediterranean nations if they are better off without their own currency (hint: they absolutely aren’t)

Death to US is a basic statement of understanding that the US empire is the primary contradiction.

The EU as a whole is an interesting project, but the Eurozone currency bloc was a mistake. All it did was surrender everyone else’s currency sovereignty to Germany and France.

And death to the US.

The end of the US empire.

Don’t give up sovereignity, even to allies! Alliances change, but even ignoring that, it’s akin to letting allies run your infrastructure or make your policies or own your water. It’s giving part of yourself away.

Data sovereignty is going to be key to maintaining any sovereignity going forward, it’s so vital to the function of society and the economy that outsourcing it to another country is just giving part of yourself away.

Sure, the working class is huge. There’s all kinds of people.

Still not the norm. Normal workers do not know or care who Soros is, what Davos is, or who the email recipient’s husband is.

Conspiracy theorists are generally small business owners or retirees living off investments; people with lots of leisure time to drive themselves nuts. The working class usually doesn’t have time to go down these conspiracy rabbit holes (it happens, but it’s not the norm)

But, yeah, most people just do not care if they are spied on because they don’t think it will be used for anything besides advertising. Trump is going to wake a lot of people up to the immense power we’ve handed over to our tech overlords.

If lab grown teeth give me better reception then I’m all for it!

People are being sent to concentration camps.

Without revolution, things stay the same. Risk death on your feet or live on your knees.

Sometimes you can get lucky and avoid revolution, and we should always strive for those peaceful alternatives, but sometimes there’s no other choice.
