NewKidOnTheBlock replied to Monster Energy's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
I was trolling a little bit when I was making that claim, but to be honest, I genuinely think majority of these "things" would work better if they were done by privatized companies. At least it definitely wouldn't surprise me if these goverment competencies would be done better and more efficiently while privatized. Yes, obviously we still need goverment and taxes out of neccessity due to various reasons; in the post scarcity A.I. world taxes would be no longer neccessary though, neither would goverment People think that just because company's and CEOs main motive is to chase profit, that makes them selfish and evil, but I don't think that's the case, you can do a lot more good for the world via selfish altruism rather than from fake sense of benevolence -

If I was a dictator, all taxes would be abolished for everyone, except for socwokies Which would be pretty logical actually; they are the ones advocating for giving money away, well they can embody this behaviour; that should make them happy -
Yeah, probably for the best, but didn't want to discourage you so I haven't mentioned it. But yeah, it would be very difficult to make that work

Scientific and technological inovations/progress give humans access to more resources, information and freedom, which then slowly corrodes and eats away at religions and their communities, giving birth to secular societies. Islam, and all the other religions may never cease to exist simply because of certain strong psychological human needs and to explain to themselves the mysteries of existence, but ultimately they will be very slowly chipped away into irrelevance, or morphed into some unrecognizable versions of these religions. The birth rates will lower for muslims as well, just like their religion will get more and more watered down over time -

I've been thinking of voting some natchuddie party just to piss on all the wokes. Since they're not really actually fashies I don't think (that word has to be one of the most devalued words in history), and I don't really think they'd do much harm either, in terms of aggression towards neighbouring countries - nor would they posses any power to do so. Not sure what they'd do about the muslim/ethnic illegal immigrants (or the ones already living in Europe), that's the kind of problem that was supposed to be prevented prior to 2015. Trying some radical measures now would be painfull, granted, they can prevent new waves of them from arriving. In terms of economy and politics though, those are the domains of the actual needle movers (US and China). I've noticed wokes try to larp as the ones with actual practical solutions, but I don't really see how that's the case, it's pure gaslighting -

It's not mutually exclusive to go to space and take care of the Planet - but that would require some IQ points to understand -

News like these makes you realize how easy it is to be a socwokie pleb nowadays. You don't need any brains to think "he own many money, we own little, give us!" You see that kind of stuff all over social media -
Probably the closest things we have to UFOs so far (mentioning it to satisfy your wookiesm lol), it's definitely a nice little add-on but hovering like that in the air is the most vulnerable a jet can be, besides staying put on the air ports/aircraft carriers. Also spends an unholy amount of fuel - but the fact that it can both lift off and land on an previously unsuitable terrains - and can go from the hovering-in-the-air phase straight to speeding up to supersonic speeds the way regular jets do, allow for a lot of flexibility in it's deployment

Apparently, Anthropic decided to pull the plug on Fable 5 due to US goverments's security concerns, very interesting. It is no longer available for Claude -

I don't think it was a rational decision. I think it was just about a bunch of western politicians wanting to feel good about themselves, and look good to their voters (also the kind of people wanting to feel good about themselves). Because it is ultimately them who were making those decisions, sure there's been some NGO and corporate lobbying before, but they had no rational motivations. Especially Merkel and her party in 2015 for example, when she just openly invited the refugees into Europe. First the west messes up the region with wars (mostly the job of righties although even lefties were involved somewhat), then when the leftie softies are in power suddenly our values are tolerance and inclusivity and shit like that. And it doesn't help the birth rate one bit LOL maybe increases the crime rate a little -

I don't know how far you live from your place of work, nor whether you need to show there every single work day or whether there is a hybrid option, that would either expand your options or make things even more difficult. If it's an every day thing and far away, the only thing in my mind would be asking coworkers if they don't live in your general direction and take you back home for this month with them, offering them to pay back fully your share for their fuel spent or something like that once you get the paycheck. Idk about renting or getting a used car with a zero-down financing, but you should check out if it's available for you, just in case. If the place of work is however closer and you don't need to be there every day, now your options expand a little - you can maybe afford a taxi/Bolt home, depending on how much money you have. If you have next to nothing, then that is a difficult situation to be in Sell something if you can/able to

Is public transportation available to you, both logistically and financially? If you are out of options you should contact your employer or your coworkers, if they're willing to hire you that must mean they see you as an asset to them, especially since you're in western Europe they'd be willing to work something out - kinda like banks, they also don't really want you to fuck up. Just do whatever it takes to get to that first paycheck

The 2 of the most OP empires in history - Roman Empire (kicked ass for so long we still have their vocabulary, infrastructure and laws) and the Rashidun/Umayyad caliphates (kicked ass so hard 1/4th of the world believes in their religion) -
NewKidOnTheBlock replied to mmKay's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Here's one representing each quadrant, more or less. Some of them, especially the last two could be outdated in terms of A.I. development timelines, because time is moving fast there Yall can also use A.I. to find these names, just sayin theres no point even asking questions on this forum anymore -
NewKidOnTheBlock replied to mmKay's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
There are respected people of these fields in both camps, and even further subdivide in optimistic/pessimistic camps, therefore you'll find no satisfying conclusion and will have to take someone's side, more or less based on feelings. But I mean, claiming something is a fantasy is not exactly an argument, given the exponentiality of the development curve we've been on so far -
NewKidOnTheBlock replied to mmKay's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
No, we can not all agree that it is a bubble. It very possibly could be, but companies have only just begun implementing A.I. agents on a significant scale, as long as we do not have all the receipts about ROI and we do not see at least one major company such as Open A.I. collapsing/bankrupting, then we can't tell whether it is a bubble or not. Even IPOs that are about to happen today and in the near future are only going to reveal investor confidence, not the actual value of the technology itself -

There's 100% a kind of marketing, tailored to you specifically and personally, that would surely convince you to buy any shitty product lmao so you shouldn't act holier than thou, perhaps. If marketing department was a given a goal to target specifically only you, AerisVahnEphelia, they'd sell you that cheese -

It's kinda exciting getting these kinds of news, not gonna lie, I'm always curious how well they're doing compared to the previous versions from various companies on variety of benchmarks, and this one is doing very well indeed🙂 I hope they continue to improve, if for nothing else, just to witness all the luddite bitterness😀 -
