bahaha You are the one with binary thinking… The government doesn’t magically mean “not capitalist”, fool. When the government spends money, it’s not magically “not capitalist”, either.

The US government is capitalist because they back up and enforce things for corporations’ bottom line. You speak of debt as if that magically makes them not capitalist… You are quite literally ignorant on what “capitalist” even means. Sad. Pathetically sad.

rofl it’s not communism just because the government is involved…

The US is capitalist. Full stop. Period. The government BUYS its physical currency, for fuck’s sake.

You are the only one wasting time by giving dumbass avoidance advice instead of telling us what you know.

… What insider information do you have and why do you want to keep us ignorant???

The question was, “why is this a technical limitation?” Not, “what should I do to work around the limitation?”.

Literally not what people are talking about. It’s the “AI” part of the task that doesn’t leave the device (unless it prompts to ask chat gpt). Not that it can magically gleam live info without making any request to the web…

Jeeze, fucking… get your shit straight, making me defend Apple… Fucking do better.

"All of them. Ideally.

… Oh shit, I said that second part oht loud, didn’t I?"

• Every “AI” CEO ever…

No, that’s NOT begging the question, that’s just being an ass about actually asking a question.

Being hostile to a real question’s answers is also not begging the question.

Begging the question is a logical fallacy where someone is purposefully leaving out info or otherwise twisting things to end at a conclusion that was never properly supported. The point is there is an unsupported conclusion they’re trying to jump to.

Simply asking a question, even one with an obvious or sarcastic answer, is seldom “begging the question”.

Uhhhhh it’s an OPEN question available to people who DO dislike the OS, so no. No just ASKING a question is NOT “begging the question”.

It’s asking a question.

Same… and a strong urge to seppuku.

nono, think stupider, then it won’t make literal sense but speak profoundly to you about motivation.

You too can earn billions of dollars without a small loan from DaddyBucks if you simply … try (read: magically overcome every external factor that makes it nigh impossible)

“… by the way, we’ve already sold that feature I made up to two customers, so …”

Nah, this is much worse. It’s like any effective con: Make it absurd at face value so the only people you deal with are already selected to be foolish rubes.

Too bad the US is full of foolish rubes… Hopefully not over half, but I’m not holding my breath.

Oh come on, you’ve watched this farce for how long and still ask that question? He’ll be released and immediately pardon himself for anything and everything he can, and literally go to war against the states that still want to hold him accountable.

Nuhuh, AIs are definitely intelligent!! It’s just making a joke and totally not instantly “confused” over “urine” having strong weights to kidney stones! Nonono, it knows what it’s saying, totally!!

War and enemy are terms for people who understand that it is an existential problem.

I’m sorry that you have failed to see enough of the world to realize that you are under actual, literal attack.

Politics is just war by another name. Realize it before it’s too late.

If you haven’t met one, you must not have been around long. They’re all over. People who will rail against the US, but extoll the virtues of the USSR or the CCP? The ones who aren’t just open sycophants for strong men are often completely ignorant to leftist ideals, like a strong state that dictates all sorts of things to the populace is itself in any form antithetical to many leftist axioms.

Any “lefty” that cannot explain how ACAB applies to even good cops is a pretty terrible leftist, as a different example. It’s not about reducing specific occurences. It’s about designing systems that naturally resist the BS.

It’s only “worshiping” in the extreme examples. The “Normie” examples are people that literally cannot imagine society without armed police while claiming worker’s rights, as an example. If you’re for workers’ rights, you shouldn’t be for a sanctioned force that constantly fights against both protesters and picketers alike. It’s about a gross disconnect in ideals vs what someone pushes for.

Like someone who realizes executives make way too much money, but scoff at worker co-ops. Either for not going far enough to worker ownership, or for being some hippy idea that won’t work. There are fake “leftists” of many types.

Yes, there are clowns all over, but you HAVE to realize there are many, many people running around who are only missing the clown makeup…

It’s the difference between agreeing on a problem vs agreeing on a solution. It is a WORLD of difference.

Wrong. Both sides don’t agree to war. You’re either in one or not. With how agressive the right throws shade at the left, and confuses the waters with NewsMan gaslighting, the left IS ABSOLUTELY under attack. Mostly not from within.

The left IS ABSOLUTELY at war. Like it or not. We just need to pick up our anti-spy game a bit and realize that we need to start on some actual offense. We need more AOC’s and Bernie’s in Congress and far fewer R’s of ANY type, let alone Russia-loving losers like the current GOP.

Those things people disgree on are entire political axioms, so yes it is much bigger than a meme. Tankies think strong men are a good thing, which should be antithetical to anyone with the faintest hint of actual big boy anarchy in their politics. Worshiping leaders OR positions is literally and directly antithetical to MUCH of the left.

OFC there will be infighting when most people don’t even understand what the left stands for. IMO, we shouldn’t even dignify tankies and other strong-men liking idiots with a label anywhere close to “left”. They’re just idiot fascists wearing a different coat to try and fit in.

I think it is often more subtle than something like Tankies defending the CCP or Russia. A lot of people who call themselves left or progressive still think the world just needs the “correct” strong-man, when one of the biggest defining things of “left” is going against engrained power structures.

While it is possible to be left-ish and support particular leaders, it is seldom a sign of an actually enlightened person if they think only a “strong man” can fix things. Tankies fit squarely in the center of that, but there are LARGE fringes where people seriously do not understand some of the core axioms of “left” politics while also not being full blown tankies.
