Lol. Trillion dollar corporation at the center of the AI bubble, who would stand to lose trillions if a major criminal lawsuit and precedent were set against AI corpo liability, just so happens to buy the victim corporation within weeks of a post-mortem indicating criminal incompetence and negligence by an AI corpo, which it also has 100 billion invested in.

You, the master of pattern recognition: “coincidence”

Hey, you left out the part where they progressively automate away the human workforce, and use AI killbots to mass murder the unemployed until they reach a sustainable population of slaves they can use to rape, hunt for sport, etc.

That’s why Nvidia bought Hugging Face; to stop HF from suing. Nvidia sacrificed a few days of profit to keep the AI bubble inflated and kick the can down the road.

Yeah, and that’s generally fine if it isn’t critical infra that could be targeted by bad actors, and they don’t have wifi or uncontrolled interfaces. The risk and damage of someone pulling apart an ATM to get at a USB port is negligible.

The main problem with it is the longer things don’t get upgraded the less people know how to fix or service them, which adds extra friction and cost to change anything with each passing year. After 10-20 years of zero updates, major projects are required because the OS and software stack need a complete overhaul to make even the smallest software change, and the software becomes a major bottleneck to organizational change or operations.

Based on the fact they leveled the entire city and murdered tens of thousands of children, I’m guessing anyone who had a phone in the vicinity of another “hamas” phone at any point in time (e.g. the entire population).

When you are a fascist genocidal ethnostate, everyone is the enemy. Even the babies.

The LHC was completed in 08. That chip was sold from 06 to 12. This means basically half the pc’s they bought ~15 years ago are still meeting their needs.

Honestly, this is the way it should be. The only reason most enterprises upgrade their computers is because Microslop, and all the other proprietary software they’ve allowed themselves to grow dependent on, require it; not because a 20 year old computer isn’t snappy on Debian, or isn’t powerful enough for email, docs, and browsing. The LHC requires supercomputers and server farms for primary operations. These pc’s are basically just thin clients to access those resources.

There are still a shocking amount of Windows XP and 7 systems in production, because the software stack doesn’t need to be updated. If those systems had been deployed on linux 20 years ago, they would still be fully capable of receiving security updates.

Capitalism tends to reward the most sociopathic and psychopathic of behaviors with wealth and power under the guise of “it’s just business”, because morals/ethics are expensive, and greed/crime/corruption pays. Anything that isn’t explicitly illegal is fair game, so the criminals and corrupt prosper (and even when they do extremely illegal shit, they use their wealth to corrupt their way out of justice).

Those who succeed hoard their wealth. Wealth = power, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. As their wealth/power grows, they grow more and more corrupt and sociopathic/psychopathic. They use their wealth to corrupt, coerce, and exploit everyone and everything (like the legislative, executive, and judiciary), until they own the entire political class, legal and justice system; grooming each generation from the big club of wealthy private social circles and schools.

It’s a vicious self-selecting cycle that preferences the most greedy and selfish, and they collude to keep moral and ethical people out of the club. They also pass on their corruption, greed and sociopathy/psychopathy to their children; both psychologically and via generational wealth/power.

Basically, “liberal democracy” is an oxymoron, because under capitalism 99% of businesses and corporations are their own oligarchy/plutocracy, competing with other oligarchy/plutocracy in a greediest psychopath takes all game. It’s actually rather psychotic to believe that democracy can coexist with a system that is 99% oligarchy/plutocracy, but the sociopaths and psychopaths benefit from making you hate your fellow rats who are trading their labor to survive the same rat race, the same as you, than the people so wealthy they can rape children on their private island with impunity; so wealthy/powerful that they own our intelligence agencies, and their right to rape children is protected by the state.

As someone whose been keeping a close eye on Western politics for over 2 decades, it’s literally the same fucking thing everywhere.

Every conservative party has trended towards fascist kleptocracy. Every mainstream moderate or “center-left” party has trended towards neoliberal kleptocracy. The majority of every political class are positioned and financed by the richest few percent. It couldn’t be more obvious. This is why I have come to the conclusion that “classical liberalism” is incompatible with democracy.

Mainstream media is billionaire propaganda

Every time I point this out on Technology, “liberals” get big mad.

The average talking chimp is probably never going to accept that capitalism is incompatible with democracy. Not before the fascist killbot genocide or ecological collapse anyway.

The fact that these criminals are out there walking free, and not spending their lives in prison, should remind you that America is a corporate dictatorship run by thieves and criminals. There weren’t whistleblowers. Just numerous layers of corruption protecting the criminals. A comedian had to spend thousands of hours of his life just to get the victims support and healthcare ffs.

The only way capitalism will ever agree to any redistribution of wealth is through force.

No. They need life in prison. Hundreds of them.

Remember that story where the good guys committed extortion and fraud to succeed? Yeah, me neither…

We’re already letting them bro. The great filter is us. I’ll be surprised if we make it to 2050. The entire industrial revolution is an unplanned terraform, and our response to the potential destruction of a stable climate, and most macroscopic life on Earth, is to double down, consume product, elect pedophiles, worship the most morally bankrupt psychopaths and sociopaths in politics, business, and entertainment; not to mention the widespread contempt and lack of empathy for “others” not like me, for some flagrantly dissonant reason.

We are in the midst of a global mental illness epidemic, and the average talking chimp is sleepwalking through it; barely cognizant of what is even happening outside their personalized propaganda bubble.

You don’t have to be a genius to understand that she’s almost certainly pro-fascist, and the fascist government are protecting their fellow domestic enemies.

I’m sure the corporate whores of the 2020’s “Labor” party will bend over like the neoliberal cucks they are.

Like Canada, they’ll probably virtue signal sovereignty but continue the backend business deals with fascism, and continue courting the political financing of the fascist elite.

Capitalism is the most efficient system… at enabling psychopaths and pedophiles to impoverish and enslave humanity, and destroy the planet.
