Nice.

So fighting inequality with more inequality? Doesn’t sound like that would work no matter how you justify it.

I’m a feminist and I honestly don’t understand this mentality. Mixing genders in all activities is good for our society, period.

So? Are we supposed to have a fair, equal society or are we playing these games of measuring each other’s cocks?

So AI controlled photoshop is ok?

I think the standard is set on wrong metric. Slop is slop and it doesnt matter how ot was brewed be it asset steal or lazy ai

Chinese cemeteries are notoriously wasteful. Thousands and thousands of identical plots where each plot averages like 4m² or more in rural areas. And nobody actually visits these. I used to live close by next to one in Thailand and it was such a waste though personally I have a sweet spot for cemeteries so I didn’t mind.

Good point tho if the bubble does end up popping it’ll bring down ram price as the market will be flooded with hardware from closed/reduced farms. But I guess we’ll have bigger issues preventing us enjoying the discounts lol

People are panicking but market will correct itself. RAM is basically a solved technology and supply is limited by lack of factories not ability to manufacture.

Poland grew up a lot in recent years though. Every post Soviet country had a rough journey rebuilding their entire country and culture tho Poland got really captured by Catholic grfit unfortunately.

Yeah the pattern basically repeats on every information technology:

1. It’s new and kinda buggy / empty.
2. It’s peak now - full of organic content and culture.
3. Commercial entities and astroturfers start to squeeze value.
4. Government entities catch on and start propaganda campaigns and prosecution.
5. Owners start to get overwhelmed and start to extract profit i.e. enshitification

Except these days it’s so accelerated that we barely get to enjoy step 2 :(

I’m not saying Iraq was not awful but at least it got US some oil domination which is a lot of return, Vietnam got nothing.

Sometimes I reminisce how real the internet was before the propaganda machines took over :(

Love Vlad Vexler, he nailed almost everything since the war started. Russia is actually not that complex, it’s just a very big gang really.

Nope can’t be bothered with any gambling - life’s too nice for crap like this.

has bet over $1 billion that the share prices of AI chipmaker Nvidia and software company Palantir will fall

not a very tough bet to make tbh.

very misleading title and literally no commenters could even read the first paragraph here lol. Man the AI hate is truly reaching the looms now

except when it’s sharing harmful content like pedophilia? no?

Not to defend it but people have a bit of selective bias here as it was not “very young girls” but <18. Still nasty but it was not out right full pedo shit and more geared to cringe teen culture at the time of “I’m 18 but this 17 year old is jail bait”. Then the subreddit became a big free speech topic and people straight up started posting young teens to really push the topic which proved reddit’s free speech stance wrong and they banned the subreddit.

Worth mentioning that at that time you could add anyone as moderator and they wouldn’t even know or decline the mod rights.

Yes I think Vietnam recently used something similar but AFAIK reprieve here leads to commuted sentence if no crimes are commited not like “you got 2 years now you die” more like “you got 2 years and didn’t do major shit so instead serving 20 instead of dying”.

Death penalty is entirely up to Supreme People’s Court and has been since CCP took over. It basically means the authoritarians decide which cases are death worthy. But it’s truethere have been some “reforms” that reduced what is death worthy and try to legitimize the system. Either way, all of that is moot in an authoritarian system and it’s silly to pretend otherwise.
