My countrymen rioting over losing the flow of goods from China wouldn’t include any class consciousness. It would just leave us open to another bourgeois dictatorship taking over. Trying to teach people of this nation class consciousness is like trying to teach evolution to theists.

Windows 11 is vibe coded now, and it has been a disaster.

Protein folding and designing chips is a great use for AI. Doing work that requires human cognition is not.

There is Quinoa and Amaranth.

Is this truly how you feel about working for and with others? That if you’re not the one giving orders, then you want no part of it?

It’s not reasonable to assume that not wanting to be a slave implies a desire to be the master instead. It’s not a dichotomy.

My account was premabanned as well. A user in a bike sub was assaulted by someone who parked their BMW in the bike path. As retaliation, the cyclist folded the BMW’s mirror in, as it designed to do. The owner retaliated by assaulting them. The cop did nothing, no charges for the assault, because the guy was allegedly a member of some crime organization. I suggested, if that person parks like that again, to vandalize the car. It was my position that property damage was fair compensation for physical assault. Reddit didn’t like that. They called it “violence”.

Megadeth while in the shower. Dave Mustaine makes some killer riffs that straddle divide between rhythm and lead. I have “Wake Up Dead” playing on loop in my head right now.

It must be a day with a vowel in its name. This would never happen on a day without a vowel. /s

I’ll never understand how some people are so comfortable with making the lives of other people pure hell. I’m not sure why they keep lying. It’s blatantly obvious they’re lying. They’re not going to change anything if they drop the act. Trump is constantly saying the quiet part out loud, and people still worship him.

Well, that’s ignorant and useless. Anybody can simply copypasta the text into a translator.

The only one making anything is NVIDIA. Gee, I wonder why?

The guy is a Nazi. He’s no comrade.

If only people realized how often the government ignores the will and well being of the general public, they might actually realize that they can’t vote their way out.

Please let this be AI.

I was thinking more of the baby leftists, which there probably aren’t many here. I get your point, though. I hold the stance that if the means of production was under the control of the masses, the AI would just be another tool. We’re also in a “teething” stage of figuring out what these AI are best utilized for.

That’s what I think too. It’s not the core of the contradiction, but it does amplify it. If only people would catch on and develop class consciousness.

Comrade, it’s not the AI. It’s the ruling class. They do this with every new means of production. They displace workers to increase the rate of profit. Fighting AI is like mopping the floor instead of stopping the sink from flooding. Fight the ruling class, not the means of production. Capture the means of production, and their power vanishes.

Anybody who thinks AI is the problem needs to read more theory. This issue is nothing new. People are mistaking it as some unique threat to workers. The threat to workers is the same it has always been, the capitalists. If everyone gained some class consciousness and recognized this is a class war, this could have been solved a long time ago.

“Our home, which we claimed after inflicting the genocide of the indigenous people.”

“Accuse the other side of that which you are guilty.” Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda.

LOL! “Regime”! China is so mean! They won’t sell rare earth metals so the US can produce weapons that will be used for genocide! It’s so unfair!

Seethe and choke on it Cheeto in Chief!

I find it incredibly rare for those who claim to be progressive, liberal, or soc-dem to be anything close to leftist, despite their insistence. They tend to lack class consciousness and still cling to the idea that the system can be reformed to fit their image of an ideal society. They also support a representative republic over an actual democracy, which is a major contributor to the current political climate in the US. In fact, I have recently come to favor the Athenian democratic system of lottery over election.
