President Donald Trump

I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?

So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at

Nick Land says Capitalism and AI are the same thing.

Nick Land says Capitalism and AI are the same thing.

AI is a child of Capitalism. One of many.


AI is a manifestation of a potentially new form of life which is digital in nature.

A life form that competes with humans for resources like water.

Digital lords like Zuckerberg, Musk and Bezos are its intermediaries.

And yet in spite of that fact, you want Musk and Bezos heading your New World Order. Amazin'!

Not true.

I'd offer them jobs in order to avoid a war in transition.

Each built something useful for the future.

Bezos built a distribution system. Musk built battery factories.

The idea is not to throw everything away and focus only on punitive action. Some things should be kept or it will no longer be human civilization.

You think the important thing Jeff Bezos built is the logistics of a bunch of warehouses?

The important thing is AWS. He controls half the Internet.

It's not just warehouses. It's vehicles. It eliminates the need for people to drive to the store.

Why is AWS more valuable to society than that ?

Don't move the goalposts nutsack. We weren't discussing value to society.

It captures all the VC. Do you know what that is? AWS is a big shark eating all the little VC sharks. It is a capital accumulator.

If you don't understand why this is important read literally any book.

I was discussing value to society and I initiated the conversation.

You're the one who changed the subject.

This is clearly a reference to utility to society.

That's fine. I was focused on "each built something for the future" which a guy in a Corolla who just peed into a water bottle dropping off a pair of Chinese tweezers on an overnight basis ain't.

Lol, ill just say that I hate Amazon more than you and you're suppose to hate Amazon more than me.

Also, AWS also makes it harder to have your socialist utopia when the world economy is becoming more dependent on large corporations.

It s also why we dont have a variety of cool electronic shops or toy stores or bookstores anymore. But i guess I dont have to drive the Impala down to the mall so its good i guess. I could park out in front of the prison and really lower the my footprint. And have that free rent and food.

I don't have any affection for Amazon or the excessive consumption it enables.

But we're going to need resource distribution in the future. So that network will be transferred to the public.

What method will you be using to allocate resources?

Fukk outta here. You voted Musk for president and you were sucking Trump off every second Musk was calling the shots during the first four months of his presidency.

Whatever, dude.

Democratic communism would be the form of government. UBI would be the policy. Governments absorbing private infrastructure for distribution.

You mean distributing food via sailboat with your drunken Captains and the Slacker community down in steerage? I may be okay spending the rest of my days doing just that.
