There is a 3rd type: people desperate for work / experience who are simply taking the best paying job they can find. It is actually the most common type of working in the US.

Basic dignity will always be at odds with profit motive. We need eternal vigilance and working class solidarity to keep capitalism in check

Meta and Tesla are proof that the market doesn’t cull unfit businesses. If anything, the opposite is true, large companies (effective monopolies) will sell at a loss to strangle thriving smaller companies and then will buy them out and dismantle them.

Reminder that the US arguably turned Russia into what it is today. The Soviets wanted peace after ww2, but the US threw everything it had at destroying communism. Putin was a Soviet intelligence officer during the cold war and he is convinced that the US and their western allies strangled the USSR to death with economic disruptions, sanctions, and relentless disinformation. So now Russia is doing to us what we did to the USSR

We’re all slaves to the billionaires under capitalism. It is a slightly more ethical type of slavery, but ultimately we still do the bidding of the wealthy and we sacrifice the best years of our lives to build their financial empires

When did the french become such insatiable bootlickers? As long as billion dollar corporations are still making billions then they should be told to kindly fuck off.

Is that why people randomly flash their lights at me? I just thought they were assholes.

Agreed, but if that were even possible then we wouldn’t be in this mess to begin with and Trump would be in jail for his failed Jan 6th putsch.

LLMs can be great for translating pseudo code into real code or creating boiler plate or automating tedious stuff, but ChatGPT is terrible at actual software engineering.

Does managing those problems improve the material conditions of the planet and humanity? If not, then I am not sure you can say it produces value. If you work for a company owned by the 0.1% then your labor does the opposite, the more wealth you create for the oligarchs the more power they have to destroy the planet and democracy

Because of insatiable greed, aka gold sickness aka “profit motive” of capitalism

You can’t separate wealth from power so the only way to prevent the wealthy from capturing our governments is to abolish all the billionaires and to aggressively restrict the maximum amount of wealth a single person can own

Yeah, it probably wasn’t murder, but considering that the US is quickly becoming a fascist oligarcny just like Russia is, and more and more American whistle blowers seem to be mysteriously dying… I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he was murdered. The oligarchs are evil af and any government that can aggressively fund a baby killing genocide is also evil enough to kill people for petty reasons

Hmm. Well, all I can say is that the US has commited countless atrocities against other nations and even our own citizens. Last I checked, China didn’t infect their ethnic minorities with Syphilis and force the doctors not to treat it under a threat of death, but the US government did that to black Americans.

DeepSeek is completely free and open source, why do you want it to fail?

I don’t understand how we have such an obsession with Tiananmen square but no one talks about the Athens Polytech massacre where Greek tanks crushed 40 college students to death. The Chinese tanks stopped for the man in the photo! So we just ignore the atrocities of other capitalist nations and hyperfixate on the failings of any country that tries to move away from capitalism???

I deleted my Instagram and I am about to delete my FB account. The oligarchs can go fuck themselves.

You can thanks capitalism for poisoning our cities, towns and soil with an extremely dangerous neurotoxin (lead).

Tiktok doesn’t push neo-Nazi propaganda as aggressively as X did and it doesn’t censor news with class consciousness like Meta does.

Maybe that is why they make 20 slight variations of every model.
