Yes ive seen Voyager lol, I meant their solution

Im curious, please share

how come no addicts own up to the simple choice

They literally do, you’ve never even looked at the steps or a similar program have you

Well, if we’re estranged from the products of our own labor, as Marx argues, then we are estranged from the products of everyone else’s. Including intellectual labor. It has become increasingly difficult for the majority of the population to maintain good literacy rates, for instance. When youre alienated from everything you see and consume, it’s not easy to feel attached to the systems which got you here, leading to radicalism, for good or ill.

Why would I want AI to regurgitate the ideas that already exist? I can just read them. I want power over my life, my work, my government. Are any of these Silicon Valley tools going to give that to me? Unlikely.

Oh no

Anyway

I think so, yeah. But I think a lot of things are.

I mean obviously I want my anarchist alternative but I dont see it anywhere, do you?

On the one hand, “think of how stupid the average person is. Then realize half of them are dumber than that.”

On the other hand, an educational system that was designed scientifically with data-driven best practices and not just what a bunch of fundamentalists in Texas think we should teach would also improve things greatly. As would, of course, strengthening the DoE and allocating DoD’s budget to education and infrastructure.

Understanding Marx’s ideas about alienation certainly influences my attitudes about AI but if youve got actual psychosis no ideology is a direct cure, you just need therapy

Max Stirner: Yeah now youre getting it

Ghuy’cha’ petaQ!

Klingon is fun and I feel needlessly attacked 🤣

Cool! Looks interesting, thanks :)

Married a brit can confirm

Dogpile ruled

Yes that would be correct, I was being flippant. Continued life would be ideal for him (although he is in no way on the Path), but his existence has directly increased suffering for those affected by him.

I was trying to say it would be more merciful to the rest of us. Im not a very good Buddhist.

You’re not wrong, I’ve watched my mother die from alcoholism and would’ve ended up there too had I not finally dried out a year beforehand. If anyone should go through it, it would be him.

But im a Buddhist and I think the calculus for a minimum of suffering for him and the rest of us would be for him to just… move on, you know?

Stupid moral compass getting in the way of my thirst for justice…

Cmon someone just let a little air in the IV please

Itd be real easy to do

Stoner/doom metal is honestly closer to progressive+hard rock than metal beyond sounding like early Sabbath

Ooh I can get it to pull wire for me! Fuck yeah
