I think you're overlooking the important point, which is "You should vote for the candidate who's right about the issues *I* care about, no matter how much they shit on the issues YOU care about."

If I ever profiled Nick Fuentes, I'd be sure to mention that he is a cum hunter. Nick Fuentes hunts for cum. He has special cum hunting tools, including a black light. If you are going to write about Nick Fuentes' supposed influence, don't forgot his cum hunts.

In all seriousness, I think there would be exponentially less left-wing pessimism about computer technology as a whole if more people embraced FOSS tools that are decoupled from Big Tech's clutches and get-rich-quick schemes.
the replies to this are draining my life force man nobody knows the thing im talking about already exists no wonder you all conflate "the computer" and whatever big tech is doing as the same thing. i'm talking about FOSS. you don't have to use the tech bro evil computer software*
its capitalism that's corrupting the computer, making it into something twisted and perverse. there is a better way

The interior of Kristi Noem’s new billionaire-class luxury jet is complete with two bidets and a wet bar with a wine chiller. It will be purchased on our dime from the slush fund Congress approved in the One Big Beautiful Bill.

This belies what it means to be a socialist. The changing nature of work won’t change whether the capitalists will exploit you. Whether you’re working in a mine, serving coffee, or an AI engineer you’re still being exploited.
I think this is directionally correct and honestly I'm less concerned about what it means for the left's take on AI than I am for the left's ability to metabolize new information and changing circumstances generally www.transformernews.ai/p/the-left-i...
The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

haha, those last two posts / that thread kinda covers everything else, but this is such a funny phrase - the right has historically, FAMOUSLY, been the ones to not only refuse to "metabolize new information and changing circumstances generally" but get hostile and violent at the idea they should

To take this a step further, AI, as actually implemented, exists to increase the ruling class's money and power, destroy human creativity and critical thinking, and fail at basic tasks.
That's *serfdom*. Leftists shouldn't embrace serfdom even if it has a really good marketing plan!!

full skepticism and abolition of AI as currently envisioned is the only rational response, if there is a "use" for AI beyond making billionaires richer and destroying society, then I'll accept some compromises

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.
I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

I’ve watched a very smart child try to encode what chaptgpt thinks is “human” so that her class assignments don’t get flagged for plagiarism.
I’ve heard expert professionals admit to self-editing so they don’t “sound” like an llm.
This is the kind of cultural flattening that accelerates fascism.

you can really blow some minds with “actually there was an entire library and research institute for queer / trans history, science and medicine founded by a Jewish sexologist but the Nazis destroyed it in the hopes of exactly this outcome, ie future generations not believing trans people are real”
every time someone says something like "there weren't trans people when I was a kid" or some shit about trans people being a new thing because WOKE all I can think is "motherfucker Dog Day Afternoon was made in 1975"

Kind of disappointing that the bar for an "actionable threat" is so low. I don't live anywhere near Minnesota, but I would still get banned if I told Will Stancil "I'm gonna hit you with my car." Of course I'm not gonna do it. I just think it would be a funny thing to say to him.

Most readers love it, a few people I know do not, but in all the discussions about Blood Meridian, one thing I don't see Cormac McCarthy getting enough credit for is identifying the true undying soul of America (fat pedophile who believes in eternal war)
