No, you aren’t missing anything. You’re right that some sort of basic income is inevitable (universal or not). Even if you are a raging capitalist, you still need the plebs to have SOME income to be able to purchase goods and services.

However, for this to happen, it must be demonstrable that AI is actually causing high unemployment. Right now, while economic productivity is kinda increasing due to AI, unemployment isn’t. When it happens:

• Capitalists will advocate for BI.
• Market socialists will advocate for BI combined with government/coop ownership over some or all means of production.
• Socialists that prefer planned economics could advocate for an expansion of universal basic services.
• Primitivists will advocate for bans on AI or whatever, I dunno.

Massive unemployment is bad for everyone including the ruling class, as that leads to pitchforks, guillotines and chopped off heads.

Depends on how big your local LLM model is. You can easily run 2-3B param models on a potato. BUT, the model is shit.

Insta: to watch furry femboy thirst reels YouTube: to watch stuff Snap: Nudes Reddit: See reactions to governmental policies. Also, I really love the askeconomics sub.

Yea, fuck the corpos. The fandom is perfectly good the way it is. I’d prefer more interest (and suiting) for therians tbh. The realistic side of fursuits that is. SUITS THAT DON’T LOOK UNCANNY.

It’s always the same story, poor sanitation, environmental degradation, corruption and climate.

Naah I don’t buy it. Individual cities and countries collapse, but not anything larger. Also, poor sanitation throughout history was mostly because of a lack of understanding of germ theory.

Nawww, I was thinking more of a secret nihilistic text or something. Something that just makes an entire civ kill themselves or something. Or maybe some equation that spells eternal doom or something that leaves everyone absolutely hopeless.

I’ll try going through the summaries of the books you recommended! Thanks :)

That’s such a cool setting for SciFi! Discovery of an alien civ by studying UFOs. Astonishment at discovering multiple civs. Finding out the reason why these civs don’t exist anymore. Protecting ourselves against this threat.

I wish I had time to explore this :(

Sigh…

Cute. And then there are those ugly little rat sized “dogs” that bark and charge at anything that fkin moves. I’ve no idea how folks even find them REMOTELY cute. It’s like having a pet land pirhana.

The bigger dogs tend to be the goodest boys. The rats though? I hope the bigger dogs eat them.

I mean… Humans ARE assholes. Some are cute beyond imagination, while some are just… horrible.

It’s okay to say, “I wish the best for my friends and family over the entirety of humanity”. It’s the winning strategy of game theory plain and simple, isn’t?

“Start by being nice and cooperative. If faced by defection from the other side, do not cooperate until the other side cooperates again”.

The simplest example would be sharing a house as housemates. Some humans are assholes who you’d never want to share space with. Some, you’d desperately want as housemates.

Naww I didn’t haha. It just gave me that momentary heart attack lol

I hate you so much. I’m developing a Lemmy client, and ur user “[object object]” showed up. I panicked so hard for a second there, thinking that I massively goofed up somewhere. :|

Funny, but I still hate you <3

Slop

Minoxidil: Increases blood flow by dilating blood vessels. More blood flow means more resources for hair in the region that the minoxidil is acting in. More resources = hair grows thicker. CANNOT grow hair for follicles that are dead. Effects go away when you stop taking it.

Finestaride (probably the one you’re talking about): blocks DHT that causes male pattern baldness. Prevents hair loss caused by DHT (for most people). Effects last only while you take it.

Hence, people generally combine these things. Finestaride to stop mpb/lessen its pace, while minoxidil to make fine hairs at the hairline grow thicker.

I mean it does have legitimate narrow use cases imo ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Everywhere? Nawww not rlly

Ok, let’s bring back the dinos

Yes they do. And it still doesn’t change the fact that the swastika means Nazism for Jewish folk and people who had to witness the horrors of WW2 and the Holocaust.

So, if a Hindu (while knowing what the symbol means for a Jewish person) went up to a Jewish person and waved the symbol in their face, it wouldn’t be so nice now, would it?

Similarly, waving the hammer and sickle in front of a Polish person and saying, “akshually it means worker liberation” would be pretty dickish.

The swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism. Absolutely not associated with genocide for a thousand years.

The Nazis adopted it, and now Swastika = Nazi.

The hammer and sickle was used to represent industrial workers and farmers to unite against the bourgeoisie. The USSR adopted it, and suppressed Eastern Europe under abject authoritarian rule for half a century.

For individuals who have had to go through that crap, yeah… Why would they not hate it as much as the Swastika?

AI is new means of production. The fight mustn’t be against this new means of production. Rather, it must be to seize these new means of production.

“AI bad” is not a coherent argument.

The riper the better
