oh, i forgot the tankie part. China’s recent quantization of deepseek v4 has basically made it impossible to monetize a token. they definitely have like, dozens of backdoors established in these AI companies as well as really good methods to manually scrape their weights just from clever interaction, and also just plain good scrappy techniques for utilizing old GPUs and RAM. the result? say you’re a rich idiot who wants access to powerful AI. you can just run a free Chinese model on your own computer, or, if you’re rich enough, your own data-center! and the AI companies get none of your money. China is undermining a critical revenue stream for AI and I’m pretty happy about it

i think Europe is about to experience what America and old colonies have been cushioning them from for 50 years. We’re all gonna be struggling soon, if not economically then instead from climate-change-induced famines that wipe out entire established farming areas, we are all ignoring the long-term effects of data-centers because the short term is enough to make us all cry in rage, but eating will be difficult if we don’t stop throwing electricity into the AI hole

i think the ‘authleft’ (at this point the political compass as a phenomenon should be a gen-ed 3 credit-hour class btw) was mostly gen x and millennial doomers with a lapsed DSA membership who thought if America didn’t decline we’d start a nuclear war. you experienced the optimistic slice of the terminally online slice who were fans of pretending to have read theory and then arguing with anarchists, please keep in mind that every group of terminally online people you are tempted to generalize should be treated as about 1% of their representative population, assuming posting on social media is their only hobby.

no matter what set of ideological clothes you put on, the fall of America and rise of China was clear to anyone with open eyes as early as Obama and to schizos as early as Tienanmen square

i need old thinkpad

you are my people

i blame simcity 3000. it made me eco, and he was the only eco guy with a platform targeting teenagers in 2005

what’s that meme? a schizophrenic is talking, listen and learn

like for real the last 28 years have been extremely good for your credibility as truth seekers

the truth machine made me realize that i never have to lie again

tales of symphonia taught me that trusting everyone you meet is not as stupid a decision as it looks

and simulacra and simulation taught me that no one needs to lie in order to fool you

lots of learning about what it means to tell the truth

i hope not, I’m from Kentucky, are you being hyperbolic or serious?

it’s both, not one or the other. race is a component of class society but does not predate it and will never supplant it

feels like the end of something important

there are so few people who are interested in things, and even fewer who will communicate this to others, for fear of cringe or social anxiety.

this is a good meme in the sense that it’ll spread for a long time and through generations, but i don’t like anything that might discourage folks from sharing their true, obsessed, incompatible selves with the greater world

no it fucking doesn’t, only animals can do that

taking a screenshot of what you said and sharing it with mr.beest

as a socialist white American who opposes the imperial regime i kind of know how the ~12% of anti-Zionist Jews who want global recognition of their identity feel. we want our existence recognized but we accomplish LESS THAN NOTHING and then we get upset that we are lumped in with genociders, meanwhile the majority planned this and wants this. when Jewish anti-Zionism accomplishes anything, it’ll be recognized, until then yall are basically like white American socialists, you try again and again but despite your efforts things are getting worse, fast, and there are SEVERAL groups of people who are CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING something far worse than you are who get to speak instead of you, for now. (white Americans have it a little better rhetorically because we don’t have compulsory military service and our settler-colonialism is, for some reason, referred to using the past tense)

I’m not upset that you’re whining about it, i whine too, but no one is going to take us seriously until we prove, materially, that it matters in any real way that we believe the correct thing. it’s not happening yet, but if this continues without any real accomplishment, when gen alpha gets old enough they are going to globally accuse you of LARPing like Gen Z did with the communists here, and you’ll split into “anti-Zionists” and “non-Zionists” like we did here with leftism, as the Palestinians begin to dwindle into the tens of thousands, then thousands, then hundreds

close enough. even proximity to perfection is perfect in a way

you think I’m not a loser, you have another thing coming

the implication here is that if he’s right, reality is anti-semitic, which is not the case at all!

Israel’s tragic attempt to merge Judaism and Zionism seems to be succeeding globally. if anything, their propaganda machine is your anti-Semitic culprit

lol i could, but I’m the type to lose a war i can’t win, instead of stalemating for decades
