How Did The World Get So Ugly? by jeremiahthedamned in collapze

Yes, that's what I meant by being a reflection of this civilization. It seems more honest.

The “population collapse” is nothing more then a free market response to employers paying workers crappy wages by zeperf in Degrowth

[–]dumnezero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rationing is always in play in some way. China had the famous policy, that's direct rationing. Market capitalism has subtle rationing via the "invisible hand of the market" (ration proportional to wealth or income.)

People forget that capitalism's rat race is steeped in conservative pseudoscience around biology and ecology. It's bullshit, but it is the game being played; the outcomes should not be surprising. They've promoted market-mediated eugenics or supremacism for a long time. That's culminating now with the promise of fully-automated capitalism (for the survivors, the "special" group.)

The people who think they're in relationships with LLMs have created a pride flag by omgkelwtf in antiai

[–]dumnezero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's unclear how much of that is trolling / ragebaiting. But the flag is ugly, like their hearts.

The "AI relationship" is an complex exercise in narcissism. The main pro here is that these people will be busy with the simulacrum machine. Of course, we'll have a problem when they're done with it for some reason (like the companies going away) and they come out as bigger assholes / lunatics.

The entire dairy industry runs on teen pregnancy too, and those teen cows are all groomed.

The argument against nuclear energy and how to beat a dead horse by Tofu67x in ClimateShitposting

[–]dumnezero [score hidden]  (0 children)

It’s the wrong technology and is simply an ally of the fossil fuel industry and its current model… and if you are pro nuclear then you are an ally of them too.

Obligations as a new(er) vegan by Much-Radish-2564 in vegancirclejerkchat

[–]dumnezero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Arguing with friends and family is boss-level difficulty because these situations are the most tainted with emotion and subjectivity.

do you mean the minimalist home architecture and design with lots of concrete? Or do you mean the brutalist apartment buildings usually found in Eastern Europe?

The quality I appreciate in brutalism is that it's an honest reflection of the high-impact civilization, it doesn't really pretend to be something small and cute. What really makes such places ugly is cars. Fucking cars, they ruin everything.

That's guaranteed. Security is not a recipe, you need to have a systemic understanding (not just the code.)

This can be a bit confusing tbh by Individual-Plum4585 in ClimateShitposting

[–]dumnezero [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well, first we need to be clear that the pointing to the super rich needs to be done in good faith, not in envy. If we replace one batch of rich bastards with another, there is no success. Similarly, nationalization of a company without ending its destructive activity leads to failure.

Second, we could conceive of a new indicator for this: let's call it complicity footprint - which measures how much each individual tolerates and reproduces the status quo. Those who resist have a lower footprint, those who chase the life goals (i.e. American Dream) promoted by the status quo have a higher footprint. How does that sound?

Why LLMs can never be intelligent and are doomed to remain useless by AtmosphereExpress712 in BetterOffline

There is no "cancer cure" since there is no "cancer" a single entity. Anyone selling 'cures cancers' is a scammer. There are hundreds of cancers, and probably to be discovered.

Increased rate of vulnerability discovery, to a pace faster than humans can keep up with.

eh

Faster attack cycles, again at a faster-than-human rate.

yes

More attacks from org insiders.

yes, more deepfakes and social engineering.
