Last Notes npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Interacting with Academics when I was in uni kinda crushed my dreams of going deep into academia - I'd suspected a lot of them were gonna be like that prior, but, actually interacting with them really just incinerated the illusion of "smart people doing smart things in smart places" - especially when I could just go have a deeper more substantial convo over a cigarette with the homeless dude who didn't finish high school that's hanging out just off campus... npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, it's definitely not an efficient option. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I'd rather tell them they're being sent to the sun to be executed, make them sit with it as they go on the very-long trip there. But I'm in a spiteful mood, and would like them to suffer as much as their victims have had to. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V That's fine, the sun will incinerate them before they can pollute/litter it. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I am opposed to littering other planets, so, would rather not mars npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V They seem to like space, why not deport them to low-earth orbit so they can join the debris field they've been building by littering the atmosphere. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V "Do you want a habitable planet, or do you want to play with the slopbot until you and your children die in the climate disasters?" npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, like, the circumsances making something like that possible are ... kinda horrifying. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V And it's not hard to find examples of that - I know a lot of people who, like, show at protests, who've been pepper sprayed and arrested on bullshit charges for their opposition to the status quo -- but then go home to the house they've got a mortgage on, while avoiding the cognitive dissonance of doing so. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I think it works better (for capitalism, fascism) that most homeowners don't understand - to understand it would mean they recognize that their home's value is only sustained by the game being rigged against those lower in the social hierarchy... which a lot of folks would be (and are, clearly) fine with, but, I think the (often willful) ignorance here is load-bearing, because it makes many of the 'homeowners' who would otherwise be opposition, accomplices instead. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, looking at the aljazeera summary of it, looks like Iran is saying they get to keep control of the strait, the nuclear materials stay in iran (but open to diluting them), isreal needs to withdraw from lebanon... npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V So... sounds like Iran's position for ending the war has still not moved very much, then? npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, at this point, it's basically spend the next century/two to four generations trying to gradually clean this up - then die to the climate damage anyway because no one managed that in time. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V ... Considering how much general attitudes have turned against Israel, the attempts to merge them so thoroughly to base functions of the US, reads as a desperation play to ensure that if an anti-Israel candidate does manage to win (despite all the cheating, stealing, and looming second violent coup attempt), they won't be *able* to cut them off without spending their entire term trying to disentangle things first... npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Ah, okay npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Oh, is the class of people who have aggressively destroyed any shred of respectability or trust for the last my-entire-fucking-life wringing their hands about kids these days not respecting or trusting them again? npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V So now that google has well and truly shit itself, is "Duck it" a viable alternative to "Google it"? npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, especially after all the cancellations at the kennedy center a bit ago, I 100% believe this administration will lie and obfuscate as much as possible, to try to get artists to play at their nazi rallies. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Running elections on a "The voters are wrong and should feel bad about it" platform has been working out fucking great for them so far [sarcasm] -_- surely it won't fail and lead to them being executed as political enemies of either the current bootleg hitler, or whichever one they loose to next. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah... at this point so many lines have been crossed, so aggressively, openly, and blatantly, that if someone is not opposing it now, I find it... hard to believe they ever actually will, or that they had any 'red lines' for this shit to cross in the first place. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Programmer -ey types (regardless of skill level/job/hobby status/etc; I am including anyone who at least sometimes writes some amount of code in this); npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Yeah, I put more blame on the companies - a lot of the people being exploited are victims of propaganda; I do think the sotware industry *needs* to stop fucking around and start unionizing, striking, and actually acting like the working-class people they are and have been, though. Nothing is going to get better if programmers cling to the delusional classist notion that they're somehow not part of the working class. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V (This is part of why I will not donate to software project funded by any of those companies - a "Donation" from google is not a donation, it's a purchase. Best not to invite the wolves into your pasture, no matter what they promise you.) npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V and various combinations can work to various degrees; npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V *resist* capture, and does not design resistance to it into the software at a fundamental level, it tends to be the default state or anything that a capitalist would find worth taking. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V being designed in such a way that they are mostly useless to capitalist interests; in a lot of cases - like compilers and libraries - can work because usually they aren't worth capturing bc the maintenence and expertise in making them is expensive, while the corps can just use them as they are without issue, and without contributing anything back. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V There's a few others that work; a lot of corproations avoid AGPL/GPL3+ licensed software like it has rabies, though many others decide to just violate the license instead. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V it was always a very narrow ethical position about a specific subject; which is useful in some cases, but, also means that outside that specific vein, the ethical side was never that well-aligned elsewhere. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V A lot of the movement side has been co-opted by corporate interests for decades, npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Point to your policies all you want. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I did. Accepting money from a plagiarism-as-a-service company is still overwhelmingly disrespectful to artists. Your policies do not make this okay, Anthropic has no place in any community that even pretends to care about artists and creatives. Whoever approved this should still be fired. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V To be honest, I mostly care about the impact in the Free/Libre software ecosystem. I try to avoid most of the big company's software either way. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V What is the maintenance plan, for code no one wrote, that no one designed, and that no one can explain? npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I think part of the problem with the LLM code infestation that gets glossed over a lot is that it behaves in a similar way to, like, education cuts. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I really hate the "this corporate platform we knew would betray us betrayed us, and now we need to run to a NEW corporate platform that will inevitably betray us!" cycle npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V an important part of what is happening (and contribute to the political & economic pressure), but, I don't think I know anyone who seriously wants things fixed/improved who is saying that protests are the only thing that should be done. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Fair, and I don't think *just* protesting in the designated free speech quarentine zones is going to be enough to change much, but it does help, including by giving a rallying point so people can get into community efforts; but there's more than just protests happening already - filming, monitoring, and documenting interferes with regime attempts to control the narrative, warning community members, food deliveries to folks trapped at home, etc., + political & economic pressures, protests > npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Organizing and executing a coup, unnoticed, in a surveillance state, without also having protests and general civil resistance/disobedience happening, with activists who have consistently kept a low-enough profile to not risk being recognized, is ... probably not going to happen. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V The PR is valuable in it's own right, going to protests is one of the primary paths into becoming an 'activist', people who go to them often continue to from there on and often get more involved in organizational efforts, they put public pressure on institutions, if the numbers are significant enough it carries an implicit threat, protests are a major entry point for people to start getting involved in other organization and efforts, protests help build coalitions and alliances, a lot of > npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V So, it's not as reliable as like, a military coup, but - protests do work sometimes. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V https://academic.oup.com/jpr/article/56/5/650/8365350?login=false npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V "It's too dangerous" really misunderstands how this whole descent into fascism thing works... npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V given the protests popping up at high schools, and the general trend of kidnapping and assaulting people - including children - it's too late to hide the gestapo from the kids anyway. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V (Note: These social programs and economic improvements are usually temporary, and often illusory - if hitler didn't start going to war and looting other countries, the german economy would have imploded, common russians today aren't doing great, etc. - they aren't good to/for their people in a sustained way, but they're good enough, long enough, to solidify power) npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V This regime is trying to do the suppression and undermining democratic processes part - but not the welfare, public works, and economic policies that tangibly improve the lives of whatever group they consider properly human. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I think a lot o it comes down to the key factor they're missing from the standard fascist playbook, tbh - from Mussolini to Hitler, even Putin - they *started* with strong social/welfare programs, and economic policies that very quickly (and temporarily) improved the lives of the common people, alongside the violent repression and undermining democratic processes they're more known for. Often dramatically boosting support beyond the initial fascist-party base. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V From that first one: npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V The research on it isn't great yet, but... What is around on the subject is not, generally, looking great for the AI-mental health link. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Maybe the US's move towards 'Nazi Gerontocracy' as a form of government wasn't a good idea afterall. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V This conflict shows up a lot in media coverage when a protest turns to a "Riot" and windows start breaking, stores start getting "Looted". npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V They're gonna need to be *very* desperate, before they'll be willing to even stomach the thought of, say, a general strike bringing the economy to a halt, or property damage against businesses that support or encourage nazi bullshit, etc. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V So, any push by the blue-team ruling class for people to fight back meaningfully, effectively, against the red-team ruling class, also invites harm to themselves, and to the ones funding them. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V There's also the issue of not being able to effectively fight back against/hurt the current administration, without the dems and dem-aligned parts of the capitalist class also getting hurt by it. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V If anything, I expect Walz's version of events to be the most polite diluted midwestern neoliberal version possible. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V (for reference; the other setting for that option is 'smart' which just uses the default behaviour for whatever you have npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Ah, sorry, no idea how to restrict it to just dialogues, unfortunately. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Haven't used gnome in a couple years, but as of last I used it: npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V If <14% efficiency is the "most efficient manner" they can come up with, economics really needs to be treated more like astrology than a serious academic pursuit. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V "... the real economy generates $105 trillion/year, the financial derivatives market adds up to $667 trillion/year." npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Those cases would still be covered by contracts to extend rights to others, no? npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V Honestly I really just want copyright to be bound to the humans who actually created a work, and ownership to be non-transferable. npub1qj7zr3n6xdme79xsrrtfl6tpvnhggt46sascv4ewrdfw0phjjynspcxqvd V I've mentioned it a few times to friends from the EU, but, I think trump has given them a near-ideal situation to leverage to claw out from the US's shadow *and* deal with their tax haven (Ireland) problem, and still come out looking like the heroes/good guys for it on the global stage.
