Yeah he’s got bad stalker vibes

Well we have to do something!

OK what about talking to people about history and connecting them to the long history of socialist struggle in America? The working class is starting to see the issues with empire, now is a great time to help people understand what is going on so we can do something about it!

The left in America is useless, they won’t even commit random acts of terror. Nothing is going to change if we don’t go and harass people until the police come in and arrest us for freedom.

Yeah ok white boy go get arrested

does getting brutalized by cops make a difference? does that stop the bombs dropping? maybe it feels brave, but how does that feeling educate the working class? how does your government mandated beating raise class consciousness in the imperial core?

these are networking and educational events, having cops there beating people makes it way harder to have productive political conversations.

Like yes, we have to fight them, but we also need to obtain political legitimacy in order to displace blue fascists as the “face of the left” so we can use real power to do something about the atrocities that are being committed in our name.

Without legitimate power we can’t defund the police, we can’t divest from Israel, we can’t house people, &c. and we sure as hell can’t stop the bombs from dropping. The burgussy will obviously do everything they can to stop us from ever gaining that kind of power, but by struggling for it we legitimize our position and demonstrate why revolution is necessary to achieve even modest goals like “not doing genocide.”

I still can’t think of it, I don’t have the material basis to contemplate ballistic strikes. All I can do is agitate my fellow proletariat with the good word of Revolution and its Prophets.

Why does this article sound exactly like “a world adrift” from the global trends 2040 report lol

9TB of source code is still a lot, but maybe reasonable. My old journal repo is like 2GiB by itself and that’s just one person taking notes and writing down software sketches for a decade. Nixpkgs is like 6GB or so checked out.

I guess I can imagine a bunch of embedded tool chains plus systems code, divers, and stuff adding up quick. sheesh no wonder this thing sucks.

LLMs are extremely useful for any kind of Natural Language Processing workloads, you might need to do. They’re like an order of magnitude improvement over previous techniques. Which is interesting, because Transformers actually didn’t come from natural language research. They just happened to be really good at encoding language.

I am definitely a skeptic when it comes to AI usage, but I have seen case studies. Where if you meet certain very high preconditions, you can use tools like claude to port an entire application from, say react to sevelte. For this to work, though, you have to have a precise description of the semantics of your entire application. So ~100% test coverage, ~100% meaningful types coverage. Maybe not universally useful, but it does make rewrites into safer or faster languages somewhat more tractable, at least while tokens aren’t too expensive.

We’re all out here looking for the same lucky guy.

TX - considering annexing their neighbor

ID - considering life in prison as pushiment for using a public restroom

What are the OK and FL nominations?

They’re just like us 🥹

Texas and Idaho are fighting over the title of “most fascist US state”

Blockchains aren’t necessarily good or efficient things, but they do still exist. Unlike NFTs. I don’t have any reason to think AI won’t be the same. Transformers and LLMs are way better at NLP than anything else that has been invented so far. That’s not going away, people will just have to actually justify their use once the prices start to match the costs.

That said, I think looped models, RYS, and other alt model architectures will continue to drive the training costs down like Deepseek did and totally demolish the AI company valuations. Just make it bigger was never going to be a winning strategy, it’s completely naive. That’s really the source of the bubble. The technology has nothing to do with it, the tech bros are just desperate for a machine god and they got caught up in their chat bot delulu about it and made it everyone’s problem.

Woof don’t threaten me with a good time

LLMs have some uses, NFTs were pure fiction. AI will definitely deflate, but I don’t see the tech going anywhere. It’ll probably become way more expensive tho.

I can put them on the side for you, but the pickles are inevitable.

You do know what the military is made of, right? It’s all removable.

they weren’t setup to benefit from chattel slavery in the same way. they still did racist imperialism, just with wage slavery since it suited their system better.

if only because thousands of people randomly dropping dead normally doesn’t happen.

but you could also figuratively “destroy the solider” by flipping them to the socialist cause

Edited for clarity, I meant “them” as is the persons in the military not the entity itself.
