Yes. Cooperatives = co-ops. Let the workers (and possibly users) elect management and what to invest profits into.

But what if the magnets reprogram your brain to just not notice thee differences? Ever think of that? Obviously you can only question the infernal power of the heliomagnetism while wearing a tinfoil hat.

Easy. Nationalize social media and turn them into democratic cooperatives with the mandate to enforce strict moderation on hate speech.

Reading his chat history, I have to say he’s not entirely wrong. I think we could sell him some expensive useless medication?

ChatGPT had no response to Rolling Stone’s questions.

Lies! ChatGPT always has something truey to say and it leads it’s chosen ones into the next stage of humanities evolution!

In the article they say it’s likely a femicide, gender based violence. Misogyny is hatred of women - especially when they are not obedient or leave a man. So nothing really new.

What is new is social media and neoliberal control for profit, and a complete lack of accountability and moderation to stem the tide of hate speech.

Shhhh! Isn’t MAGA basically reading uplifting news to decide what next to destroy?

Hakas will continue until morale improves

To be fair, the FDA was incompetent / hamstrung in many other areas before. The overriding purpose was to increase profit.

They, at least they are trying something new :D

It’s also not as if we can’t launch spacecrafts at all, as long as your destination is high orbit the chances of collision are low.

Oh is that the bastard administrator from hell?

True, the american dream, liberty, land of opportunity, make your own way, that’s why people come. But it’s a lie right? So can a lie be a culture? Or is it a mass delusion? Maybe, colonial settlers also went to the US despite knowing how dangerous it is to die on a wagon train (I mean dysentery, not indians haha). So taking a huge risk of catastrophic failure could bee seen as a culture.

I don’t think you can call it a culture but propaganda to justify their personal greed and neoliberal policies. Basically sociopathy as an ideology for the elite, dressed up as “whatever” for the masses.

I feel the same. Besides what you mentioned, there is also the effect on what news and content will be produced and shown (see Manufacturing Consent). The advertisers who are the customers of shows want the viewers in a buying mood. So while “if it bleeds it leads” works fine but controversial topics that disturbs people or make them think will not be shown.

Best example is youtube - once the demonetization came there must have been significant effects on what topics were discussed and how. Without sponsorings and patreon it would be worse, but this or rule is shaping our global civilization for the worse.

People pay far too much attention to ideology, but it’s the rules of a system that lead it to converge to different outcomes. And advertising is a big one.

If you imagine some kind of multi year “relationship education” instead of just sex ed where all kids at ~14 learn about pathological psychology and all the ways people can manipulate you or fuck you over I imagine it would be far less off a problem.

I believe most image generating models are too small (like only 4GB RAM). Deepseek R1 is 1.5TB ram (or half or quarter that at reduced precision) to get some semblance of “general knowledge”. So to get the “semantics” of an image right, not just the “syntax” you’d need bigger models and probably more data describing images. Of course, do we really want that?

Yeah neoliberals… the reason they want that is to get cheap laborers. Can’t believe they are so brazen about it.

I think ultimately we need to design an economic system that allows less work and less consumption. You want those outsourced jobs to come back but done by robotics. Coming back to stop needing to ship them halfway across the world, wasting energy. But we need to have a clear(er) vision to what we want to transition to. Like a partially planned and circular economy that covers the basic needs (food, living space, education, news, healthcare) for everyone for free. Otherwise there is nothing to believe in.

Well, did he get his phone?

You can predict what likely happens next: more neoliberal policies and degradation of quality of life. In one of the next election the fascists take over Canada. They never learn.
