How American companies push the idea of an "AI" race with China in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

Who does the US government think it's fooling when it claims to be the "free world"? I have no idea who would genuinely fall for the narrative of a freedom-loving United States after the last few decades.

    I have made it with the Revisited version on Steam. I guess I gave money to the guy so he can keep going. I just came back after almost a year so I'm trying to see how to do multiple images again.

    Not using AI is an INCREDIBLE untapped power source! in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
    [–] [S] 1 point 9 months ago

    They’ve completely thought this through to their conclusion already. We’re the ones who haven’t.

    I think a lot of people are realizing that the richest of humanity is up to some evil shit. A great many people also listened to what these people have said and are incredibly disturbed. You are not alone, I am not alone, and this entire sub is not alone. I think the first steps to take are:

    1. Show how big the anti-elite movement is to the people in it
    2. Make a plan of action

    The free market is generally pretty good at allocating scarce resources

    I disagree. Heavily. This may be based on my own experiences, but reading about how Capitalism reaches a point of overaccumulation only to collapse, wherein people cannot work, makes sense, and is the reason this year is so gruesome. I have read about how grocery stores will get rid of food simply because they overproduce and then don't have enough to give out. You should do some reading on the Great Depression and unemployment. The simple question of "why can't people work even if they really want to?" has much less to do with government intervention and much more to do with the intrinsic parts of Capitalist production.

    This is quite long so I have provided links.

    Not using AI is an INCREDIBLE untapped power source! (lemmy.world)
     

    This might belong in some circlejerk sub, but I think it's somewhat clever. Basically, if AI datacenters get shut down, the power that would've been used to generate AI slop could be used for magnificent things. I mean, it's purely clean energy because instead of using gas or oil, you take energy that COULD be used for something useless and put it to better use. Think of all the applications.

    • We could power countless electric cars, trains, and bikes.
    • We could power countless medical devices like pacemakers and defibrillators.
    • We could power countless lights in people's homes.

    All this could be accomplished by not building massive datacenters. What's more is that there could be countless gallons of clean drinking water used for surgical cleaning and chemistry that would otherwise serve to cool the amount of datacenter power. Think of all the possibilities!

    If only Sam Altman could understand this...!

    Some changes, and Boosters vs Doomers in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

    It's complicated, and maybe I wrote too soon. I admit that this exact phenomenon and its discussion are very nebulous. But I see that there is talk about the growing loneliness problem in the United States, Japan, Korea, and elsewhere. This is caused by:

    1. People not wanting to raise children in today's world. This is because of wealth inequality, which is the result of overaccumulation from the bourgeoise and weakening of the proletariat. This is explained well in Blackshirts And Reds by Michael Parenti. There is also the problem of climate change that the book also brings up, which also dissuades parents from having kids.
    2. People not having enough money to raise kids. Again, this is because of the weakening of the proletariat. Rights like parental leave, like all other political rights, are not simply bestowed by some higher power, but are the result of a compromise between the owning and working class, where the owning class forfeits some of its power due to massive strikes and protests. This lack of power goes from parents to their kids. TL;DR In the United States, Korea, Japan, and elsewhere, men and women are overworked. And while a small amount of people have a massive amount of money they don't need, the rest of the people can't even afford to have children. This is because of the logic of Capitalism, where money is pursued instead of everything else, and everything is turned into money, which translates into power.

    Counter-Drone articles (lemmy.world)
     

    I haven't read these yet, but I will soon. This is in response to the United States using drones to enact ethnic cleansing. This was a breakneck search, but if anyone has a good in-depth article for countering drone warfare, please let me know.

    NATO.int | Countering Drones: Looking for the Silver Bullet

    NDUPress.ndu.edu | Breaking the Shield: Countering Drone Defenses

    Claws.in | Drone and Counter-Drone Warfare at a Tactical Level

    A good idea would be for drone hobbyists to outfit theirs with weapons. It's incredibly important, too, to target factories, and develop chemicals, EMPs, and other technologies that can disrupt drone functioning (drones are quite fragile). Hopefully China, or otherwise industralized states, developing drones en masse can send some to resistance groups.

    What has Critical Theory actually achieved? (lemmy.world)
    submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    I was just thinking about it after looking it up. What has it, in world affairs, actually done? What changes did it make to society that were worth making?

    EDIT: I wanted to ask this because I had some thoughts on Critical Theory that I wasn't sure of. I thought it was just empty talk that would be repeated and repeated but never acted upon. Like, what would our world look like without Critical Theory being developed? How come such a "great ideology" couldn't actually stop the War of Terror, or the election of Donald Trump, or wealthy corporate executives becoming obscenely rich, or the Housing Crisis and Great Recession, or the Rwandan Genocide, or Russia's invasion of Ukraine, or anything? What does it do to actually help people?

    Tried to make a new account, but every sub has a minimum karma limit (lemmy.world)
     

    Sometimes, I'd scroll Reddit because something would link there, but in the case of making a new account, I can't post anything, even comments because there's a minimum karma limit on almost every sub.

    The deal is that Lemmy doesn't have the number of users that Reddit has. I suppose I'll make new communities. That'll help.

    After Harris/Walz Victory (lemmy.world)
     

    What should we do after Harris/Walz is elected? I was wondering if you had some ideas. Here are mine:

    • Mass strikes in the workplace, demands being taxes for the rich and higher wages
    • Mass strikes in the military, demands being to end support for Israel, take away excessive military bases, shut down Gitmo, drastically reduce the budget, &c
    • Get as many people off the internet as possible
    • Get people arms and arms training so they can defend themselves without police, and heavily reduce police funding
    • Refuse to pay any landlords, lead attacks on real estate offices

    Maybe some stuff would be extreme, but I ask you please to separate the wheat from the chaff, along with adding your own material. I may not be that smart, but at least I'm preparing.

    (If you want to remember to vote, set yourself a timer like everyone else with memory issues. It should go ding on the day you get your ballot!)

    I also feel kinda hazy
