I don't actually think that software is necessarily neutral, and that for this sort of thing to be successful in the current landscape it MUST be Marxists who make it. Take Bluesky, for example. Or OpenAI is perhaps a better example. Maybe this breaks some people out of the "Elon bad -> Dorsey good" cycle of analysis as to why lemmy exists and maybe leads them to question the use of the "tankie" perjorative in general.

Angela Collier's video about this: https://youtu.be/wBBnfu8N_J0?t=2213 (Kaku part starts at 36:50).

A TLDW on the rest of the video: "Gell-Mann Amnesia" is a term Michael Crichton coined. It refers to how people read articles in a newspaper about a topic they are experts in, realize it's all horribly written trash, then turn the page and happily read the next article about an unfamiliar topic forgetting they just learned the newspaper is trash.

Collier expands on the idea to include the Gell-Mann Complement and Gell-Mann Recollection. The Recollection is what Kaku does, where he doesn't know anything about a topic but presents a simple explanation on it anyway just because he's an expert in something different. This frequently gets him into completely bonkers territory, like Deepak Chopra level bonkers.

I invite you to look beyond the machinery of misinformation—an integral part of this aggression—and instead speak with those who have visited Iran. Observe the many accomplished Iranian immigrants... Do these realities align with the distortions you are being told about Iran and its people?

Sorry is there an Adrian Zenz-like figure I can ask instead?

Seriously though I admire that, despite all we've done to them, he still responds with a dignity that we certainly don't deserve. Of course we're totally deaf to this as a people, but I respect the gesture.

There's no way they want to eliminate bot traffic, it would kill 2/3rds of their traffic instantly. So this just means, "bots that aren't paying us."

Somebody here said something like, "Can't wait for libs to tell me I'm responsible for a Vance presidency because I refuse to vote for this ghoul." I think about that every time he opens his mouth. Can't wait for all the milquetoast liberal pushback against Newsom's despicable rhetoric to melt away into "Blue no matter who" the minute he is coronated by the plutocracy.

His health was so fucked it has its own wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_of_Charles_Darwin
