they stole all there data

Obviously fuck the capitalists and AI scammers. But reading and learning from a library, then writing and selling your own book based on that is NOT stealing. It’s the wrong argument.

The answer obviously is to keep the actual source material and libraries and book archives open and just run open source AI models at home. You can run smaller versions on a solar powered PC no problem.

The issue with trying to make “AI is just stolen” happen is that it will make open source AI models illegal. AI companies would love that because they can afford to license and pay or work around or obscure or whatever. The “intellectual property” argument is always a disgusting capitalist one. Knowledge is either free or nothing is.

Fascism is capitalism in decay. The neoliberals in the democratic establishment and their presidential failures share at least 50% of the blame. But it’s the same all over the west, Europe is not that far behind.

“Slavic Adventure”

Maybe support for Ukraine lol. Zelensky just honored Andrey Melnik, a twentieth-century Ukrainian fascist leader and Nazi collaborator who fought with the Nazi’s against the Red Army (NYTimes)

EDIT: I do believe this could be connected. Here is recent article by a Ukrainian Scholar without pro-Russian slant that looks at the proliferation of Nazi symbolism in Ukraine’s military, in official channels, insignia, names and merchandise.

The use of Nazi symbols in Ukraine’s military is not merely an aesthetic problem. It is moral, political, historical, and legal.

First, it represents a form of historical revisionism and the gradual rehabilitation of Nazism itself — a direct challenge to the postwar Western consensus built on the memory of World War II. Within far-right military culture, Nazi imagery is often wrapped in romanticized narratives about anti-Soviet struggle. In practice this trivializes the sacrifice of the seven million Ukrainians who fought Nazism in the ranks of the Red Army alongside the Western allies (in contrast to the 300,000 who served in various military formations and police units on the side of Nazi Germany).

This might actually explain how ignorant people might come to think this is acceptable or just a bit edgy. Partly because speaking about this gets you branded a traitor.This might actually explain how ignorant people might come to think this is acceptable or just a bit edgy. Because there is no pushback or scandal and it just gets swept under the rug it must be ok right? Unconditional support for Ukraine - but at what cost?

Of course, but many socialists here use the classic definition of a liberal. Which is annoying. Basically you have to translate into “neoliberal” when they say it. And yeah it’s pretty stupid, but they don’t want to accept the “rebranding” the neoliberals have managed to pull off.

Neoliberalism can be defined as the sincere moral belief in inequality based on money or wealth or class. Like if you are poor, your children should get worse food and education. Neoliberals believe this is morally correct. Neoliberals are not on the left, but are right wing. There are many who identify as leftists or liberals who accept neoliberal ideology because they simply can’t imagine radical change. There are many thought terminating brainworms in their heads.

This also explains why it’s so easy for neoliberals to transition to fascism. Fascism can be defined as the sincere moral belief in inequality - based on identity like ethnicity or gender. It’s just a small hop. And the US foreign policy has been outright fascist for many decades anyway. Biden is a fascist. Hillary is a fascist. Obama is “just” a neoliberal, but fuck him too.

I have found communists here who want to rehabilitate Stalin for some insane reason. I haven’t found a single “Tankie” who thinks Russia is still socialist or who are particularly happy with the human right issues or corruption in China, but still support them because they understand realpolitik. To me it seems the divide and hate overwhelmingly comes from the (non neo) liberals. Like OP is pure hatewagoning propaganda. Nobody “likes” seeing protesters shot.

Simon the Petrifier. A key acolyte of who’s sorcerers talent Jesus planned to use to devastate the roman Legions.

I really wish there was more badass fantasy stories based on the Bible lol

A virus that makes everyone ultra obedient? Could be an interesting Zombie movie.

They wrong him like one of those alt-right philosophy bros, as if they could somehow make him make sense.

I believe forking doesn’t work because of network effects - Wikipedia.

The algorithm boosts the voice that create the most engagement and shareholder value. It’s a perfectly objective and rational way to run political discourse. What is wrong with bumper sticker politics, they are extremely efficient.

You must be some obnoxious communist to criticize this! (jk lol)

PS: You’re probably right though, and actual antisemites and fascists are the reason why the propaganda wasn’t able to completely quell criticism of Israel about the genocide. So in this very rare instance we probably should thank our nazi bedfellows, otherwise Israel would kill, starve and rape Palestinians even harder.

Well I agree that we’re seeing some kneejerk reactions to things, and unwillingness to engage or argue with perceived enemies. Like I’m so done talking politely with fascists but it swings both ways. Like that same trained behavior (because it is exhausting and painful) and good vs evil thinking has been redirected e.g. against anyone defending Russia or China or Iran. But strangely the same thing failed in trying to curtail criticism against Palestine.

But I think part of it is BECAUSE there is no legal recourse against inciting hatred against ethnicity or genders. The US and the US owned social media are very extreme and have totally changed how people talk. Before we didn’t have people just constantly dogwhistling about race etc. So because there is no defense the only thing left is being offended. There is no moderation. We are left with impotent rage.

And of course the lawsuit in OP weaponizes that “freedom of speech” extremism. Tolerance is being sold as intolerance against the intolerant.

So the argument against the lawsuit in the video was that speech should be completely free and everyone just has to bear with the insults. That logically means that hate speech also has to be accepted, which is incorrect because that leads to intolerance and fascism. That is why the video is incorrect, because hate speech cannot be tolerated.

No the lawsuit should have no standing at all. There should be no basis on being allowed to sue for being “religiously offended”. But one should be allowed to sue because hate speech like someone is inciting hatred against an ethnic group or gender or other identity.

My point is that saying “sticks and stones bla bla but words can never hurt me lalala” like the lady in the video - that’s wrong because words do turn into stones. And her argument would shut both hypothetical lawsuits down.

Liberal AntiFa successfully sued the KKK out of existence, but it took a lot of effort because the US has no hate speech laws.

And local and under your control. As a “second brain” that isn’t sentient but intelligent to assist you AI has great potential. In a few years we’ll probably have the models and new hardware to run good enough models locally on cheap enough hardware.

But by then they’ll have drummed enough support for “muh copyright” to buy legislation for AI licensing and make all AI models have to pay a license fee to… “someone”. Like that poor writer who had his work illegally read by an AI. So then no open source models can exist and they have the monopoly. Big win for the little guy lol.

At least China is pushing to expand production capacity.

I think that’s the wrong and dangerous argument. It’s a typical liberal talking point… for example, allowing people to constantly spew lies and inciting people to racial hatred works in creating and recruiting more racists. Or misogynists. We’ve seen it over and over again. If you tolerate intolerance you soon find your tolerance vanishing.

THAT should be what the argument should be about. Their religion of hate is intolerance, and shouldn’t be tolerated, or in this case, not have any standing to sue for offending and injuring your “human dignity”. There is no conflict there.

But we need to go even further than that to prevent those with the most amount of money and power to deform the reality we are able to perceive. All humans should have a fundamental “right to reality”. Not being locked up in a simulation, and not presented by news or social media that shows an objectively wrong reality, or where you can’t perceive what is science and what is woo. Politicians shouldn’t be allowed to outright lie and face severe consequences for such behavior.

The principle behind freedom of speech is that democracy needs people to be able to understand the world they live in without the state or state-like entities like plutocrats being able to prevent important information and truth to be published. This has been completely perverted and speech has become a commodity, easily controlled. “They” control the agenda and call it free speech. Liberals need to understand that no principle can be pushed to the extreme. You have to look at the consequences and history. We know hate speech causes more fascists, we know lies cause subversion and destruction of democracy.

It’s kind of like survivorship bias: The ones who rise to the very top must be the most ruthless and biggest pieces of shit. It’s like taking 20 trials to rise to the top, and to succeed each trial fucking others over and only concerning yourself with your advancement is beneficial. It only leaves the worst.

There is a good article about how it happened: The Man Who Killed Google Search by Ed Zitron

Yeah it’s headcanon, but the scenes are intercut and as Anakin dies and she gives birth they both “die” at the same time and it’s visually linked. So something is going on they can’t explain, like a love/death curse, and the med droid just gives some kind of guess. That’s why it never bothered me and I don’t see it as a trope.
