  • Thanks… that is complete garbage the more you read. Propaganda for the fascist Israel apartheid regime!

    They seem to label any support for a 1 state solution or an Israel not just for Jews but also for Palestinians as anti-semitic. They seems to have been subverted through NGO propaganda.

    Obviously there are fascist and real antisemitic elements in the Palestine movement, but the current aggressor with overwhelming military power is Israel in the process of committing a genocide. Fucking liberal madness.


  • The way I would classify it is if you could somehow extract the “creative writing center” from a human brain, you’d have something comparable to to a LLM. But they lack all the other bits, and reason and learning and memory, or badly imitate them.

    If you were to combine multiple AI algorithms similar in power to LLM but designed to do math, logic and reason, and then add some kind of memory, you probably get much further towards AGI. I do not believe we’re as far from this as people want to believe, and think that sentience is on a scale.

    But it would still not be anchored to reality without some control over a camera and the ability to see and experience reality for itself. Even then it wouldn’t understand empathy as anything but an abstract concept.

    My guess is that eventually we’ll create a kind of “AGI compiler” with a prompt to describe what kind of mind you want to create, and the AI compiler generates it. A kind of “nursing AI”. Hopefully it’s not about profit, but a prompt about it learning to be friends with humans and genuinely enjoy their company and love us.
















  • My interpretation of these stories is that it’s meant for republicans.

    It certainly sucks hearing these shitheads endorse Kamela as a sane person. These psychos are trying to rehabilitate themselves. But republicans seem to be mostly influenced by “their authorities” not by argument. So to beat Trump, this is probably a good strategy.

    promoted the idea that the distribution of contraceptives was the most effective way to fight poverty

    I do believe access to free contraception and morning after pill should be a universal human right. The idea is not eco-fascist just because of crimes of corporations.

    I oppose this deep green resistance and anarcho primitivism stuff. Nature is cruel and problems and solutions to civilizations are complex. I suspect they imagine a kind of return to a hobbit like existence in an idyllic shire with food forests, but with the current population levels this is not possible in most of the world. In the USA there is still enough land for such primitivism to be possibly feasible, because they stole a whole continent. So advocating this as a recipe to the rest of the “old world” is doubly imperialist and stupid. It would also not work because someone would re-industrialize.

    Probably the whole environmental movement gets biased through capitalist propaganda. With the right system earths sustainable carrying capacity could be even higher than 10 billions. But discussing alternative systems is not allowed, or degrowth or socialism or land distribution or city planning. Not even obvious things like circular economy are widely discussed in the mainstream or social media. Because all of that is suppressed but the problems are fundamental, we get this weird fringe stuff.

    Basically a strategy of capitalism to suppress environmental concerns is to promote radical and amoral ideology to create opposition and funnel energy away.

    My own ideas are based on solarpunk and collapse...

    I imagine building cubic apartment towers surrounded by miles of agricultural land and food forests, so people can live in nature in cheap “luxury” apartments but with a very small environmental footprint. Grow food right on your doorstep, use genetic engineering to improve nutrition and yield without needing big industrial agricultural machines. You only need about 500m² (1/8 acre) to produce enough calories per person. Engineer plants that produce biofuels and ingredients for composites and building materials. Workshops that can produce bicycles and bigger cargo quadricycles and recycle metals. Basically a small mostly self sufficient socialist kibbutz that is connected to the next “archology” apartment tower via underground rail tunnels so that most land can be rewilded.

    Our current civilization is just incredibly inefficient and stupid, and ecofascists use that to justify inhuman ideas.
