Most companies that have open source products make their money in providing support for it to other companies, so theoretically OpenAI could do that (in fact top level AI developers are pretty rare so they could charge way more than other companies do for consulting) but that wouldn't be a hundreds-of-billions-of-dollars business plan because it's much too sensible.

He starts a lot of shit, but dammit if he isn't right most of the time.
when it’s the state/government/leadership that is using acts of violence
So when a corporation uses or sponsors acts of violence it's not authoritarianism? I guess Coca-Cola-funded fascist death squads are just smol bean libertarians fighting the oppressive tankie socialists!
You can't even get your talking points in order. The main people on lemmy.ml are anti-capitalist, they would accuse those who would censor them of being anti-communist.
True but only for terminally online liberals. I still haven't heard anyone in real life ever use that word.
Look at pictures of people in their 30s back in the 70s, and compare them to people in their 30s today. It's a massive difference, I hypothesize that it's the leaded gasoline and secondhand smoke that makes it although I'm not aware of any science to back that up.
China continuing to claim the same seas that it has been claiming since the 19th century is imperialism, not the country from the other side of the world using legal warfare and gunboat diplomacy to deny them that claim
whatever you say bud
Brother 90% of the world's labor is done by 50% of the countries, and it aint fukken Europe that's doing the hard work to keep the global economy running.
And please point to any example of Chinese imperialism that has occurred in the last forty years. No, offering loans with better terms than what the IMF offers to African countries does not count.
You could say the same about every developed nation
"Developed nation" is a propaganda term designed to make you think that the overexploited nations of the world are on some mythical path that will lead them to a first world quality of life.
every western European country has already eliminated the worst kind of poverty and on average European citizens are better off than Chinese citizens
This is an apples-to-oranges comparison. Europe is the beneficiary of hundreds of years of imperialism and accumulation and the ongoing system of global unequal exchange, whereas China is a former victim of said imperialism that has pulled themselves out of the muck with their own workers' labor. China is better off compared to India, which achieved independence not long afterward but has fallen far behind in every single development index because of their failure to overthrow capital.
Hell, even in The Matrix they were going to have Switch be an explicitly trans character but got blocked by a producer.
I really want to try a bunch of slurs out
This is surely the most rational reaction to being slightly inconvenienced by a word filter.
I think this post is more about the "key aviation safety advisory committee" being gutted right before the worst air disaster in over a decade.
Do, uh, do you know which country it was that invaded Ukraine?
