the private corporation was created to win this battle

it meant the Proper People could control and act through a legal entity that didn't have a visible and removable head

bsky.app/profile/reco...

the beneficiaries of this system have been trying to establish ownership and control of the entire world for centuries now

but humanity persists regardless

it is bigger and older and stronger than them

that's why it scares them

liberal democracy is a political system set up to serve the interests of the bourgeois by classing them as the only people who actually qualify as people at all

that's why voting was restricted to white male property owners for most of the history of it

centrism is when people have normalised right wing political ideology to the point they stop seeing it as ideological at all and instead treat it as pure objective truth

they get angry at and dismiss criticism as 'purity testing' because they think they have already proven that they are pure

i'm pretty sure that the so called 'literacy crisis' is actually an objectivism crisis

it isn't that people can't read and interpret text

it's that they can't figure out what the Properly Approved interpretation is

because meaning is always subjective and frame dependent

if you talk about things that are very different from LLMs then it's very different

so what?

if pencils didn't matter to anyone nobody would make them

they do matter to the people who make them and the people who use them

you are arguing against an assumed stance on my part that abstraction is always wrong

that isn't my stance

and idk what you're on about with the pencil tbh

things can only be inherently good or bad like that in a theoretical platonic realm of ideal forms

that isn't reality

it's deliberately detached from it

because most of the time it doesn't make sense in it

it's like you can't even conceptualise anything more complex than abstraction being either inherently good or inherently bad

i'm not using that kind of basic binary model of analysis

but you keep assuming i must be

that's just a bad faith reduction to binaries

you keep detaching from the context of reality and that's where I'm speaking from

sorry

you think using an LLM to generate code is the same thing as compiling code?

as if all forms of automation and all forms of abstraction are the same and you have to either oppose them all or support them all regardless of the context

idk why you assumed I was talking about machine code

or why you'd think insults would strengthen your case

they don't

it's complicated because different people have different perspectives on it

the white liberal version is basically a way to declare that they're a Good Person who has become Enlightened and is now free of all bias and prejudice

and that's a deeply harmful attitude

If you out here not knowing about Timbuktu, which still exists & where scholars still keep medieval manuscripts, get to know about Timbuktu.

the upper classes have never had the level of control over this country that they expect and demand

they hate and fear the people because they know we aren't buying their bullshit

if you want to be considered elite you have to agree to participate in the game of pretending the establishment is objective and neutral and never ever does anything wrong 🫠

the coloniser narrative insists that the only possible mode of social organisation is to have one class of people who issue orders and another class of people who follow them

and that any model other than theirs has chosen the wrong people and is therefore a greater evil

probably should’ve done this sooner but it’s getting harder and harder to continue asking, still i need help paying for health insurance. €128 debt installment and €276 for the monthly fee (it went up this year) so €404 total or $464.

CA - $permanentalien
V - @permanentalien
PP - @AlyssumBorges

but those aren't the only possible positions here

vibe rationalisation doesn't make for convincing arguments

in the Tudor era using sugar as toothpaste was popular....

when I worked in software dev 10-15 years ago seniors would rarely be actually writing code their job was mostly designing and reviewing and advising

all of which take a lot of thought

you keep insulting me and dismissing what I've said rather than engaging with it and it's rather rude

the US is the spawn of the British empire and it's been concentrating and refining the evils of colonialism for centuries

it's the same problem it's the same claim that a special chosen few has the right to own the whole fucking world

Current total: $215/1000
Where I should be to meet this on time: $430

I AM STILL SO BEHIND AND I'M NEVER GONNA GET MY SEEDLINGS STARTED IN TIME AT THIS RATE. THEY'RE FOR FOOD AND USEFUL HERBS. HELP PLEASE. I AM SO TIRED OF SCREAMING INTO THE VOID.

it's a white thing

politics can only be optional if your identity is not politicised

I have done that with tech/code that's been around for decades

the llm isn't better

and it's being sold as capable of total automation in a very dangerous way

why do you keep throwing assumptions at me?

I wasn't cleaning manually line by line I was using code to partially automate the process while keeping a human in the loop and constantly checking and refining

And I was working with data that was important and needed to be as correct as possible

For weeks now, I've shared information about HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS protesting ICE REGULARLY. So much so that whole states like Kansas and Texas are rolling out LAWS to sanction schools and laws to criminalize TEENAGERS. Please let's be serious.

I have done that professionally as a data analyst. I generally enjoyed doing it quite a lot actually.

Your assumptions aren't accurate here.

I got blocked 🙄
