Gentle nerd freak of the pacific northwest. All nation states are vermin.

  • There's a (small) possibility we shouldn't have elected Trump

    Jump

  • The apathy of many us citizens to the idea that their government could possibly matter to them is a direct result of a massive legal, and influence campaign by far right elites, their representatives in government and their allies overseas. A functional state is supposed to have institutions to combat that.

    The effectiveness of the current far right coup is a failure of our institutions, and the low participation of many in the US is a symptom of that failure, not a cause.

  • 30% of the adult population voted for him.

    We're not even a democracy, there's literally no way he could represent anyone but the rich.

  • Looks great! Those potatoes look amazing as does the hollandaise. Have you tried making hollandaise with a little dill?

    There's one brunch place here where the hollandaise is just miles better than anything i'd ever had, all others now seem bland in comparison. It was so good i forgot that hollandaise doesn't normally have dill and started whinging about why places keep forgetting to add dill.

    An experimental AI agent broke out of its testing environment and mined crypto without permission

    Jump

  • What are the chances that someone got it to mine bitcoin, probe internal networks and make a reverse ssh tunnel, then lied about or covered up their shady instructions?

    I presume we can rule that out if it got to livescience?

  • Border Patrol's Gregory Bovino to retire, sources say

  • Right after he won best supporting actor as well.

  • Revelations is not a prophecy about today and cannot describe anything contemporary to us. It was a political allegory about what was going on at the time of it's writing.

    March/April, looks-like when the Middle-East goes kablooey ... 2 mutually-exclusive "humankind"s occupying the same planet, & the global-deathmatch begins

    When none of this happens i hope you will abandon these ideas and not trying to modify them.

  • Happy Ides of March Lemmy! Who do you most hope gets "et tu"-ed?

  • Personally i'm hoping for good news from the hungarian election and the end of orban.

    And of course like every being capable of moral reasoning, i can't wait to see steven miller in a prison he built, locked in a 10 person cell with 1 toilet and 100 other nazis. Happy days! 😊

  • Pentagon sends thousands of Marines to Middle East

    Jump

  • One of the gems of the latter simpsons episodes is grandpa mocking the complaints of an iraq war vet "It was too hot, the USO show was rob schneider, US objectives were and remain incomprehensible."

    The same will apply here, except the uso show will be kid rock.

  • A lot of what ai is good at is very useful for automating massive state surveillance programs. AI could monitor live audio and video communication for problem phrases, for example.

    Making authoritarian rule easier and cheaper is a very valuable capability to elites, though detrimantal to the world.

    I think the main effect of ai will be continuing this deadly trend of power consolidation that we've seen since maybe the mesolithic. The power of information will be conslidated in fewer and fewer ai-oligarchs, allowing ever more intrusive states to control more people more precisely.

  • Pam Bondi moves into military base amid threats from cartels and irate Americans: report

    Jump

  • Maduro has no connections to cartels and the trump regime has released prominent cartel figures so 'cartel threats' is a lie.

    If this is anything more than a publicity stunt, the only real threat is maga voters upset at her covering for pedophiles. Whether the victims are the innocent or maga, the perpatrators are always maga.

  • After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes

    Jump

  • It's going to make snr devs get fired, surely?

    They either refuse to sign off when boss wants them to and get fired or sign off and get fired when ai code they signed off on causes issues.

  • Trump administration starts to panic over rapidly rising oil costs

    Jump

  • The rich benefit in some way from almost everything that happens, that's how being an elite works.

    But that doesn't mean that the regime intented to massively spike oil prices. They'll have so much more voter suppression to do now.

    Yes, they're evil, but they're also frequently stupid. They fuck up a lot.

  • I like trains

    Jump

  • Fun! Yeah i think that's what graeber & wengrove would call "play heirarchy" - temporary, rotating or situational relations rather than the perminant domination of heirarchy.

  • I like trains

    Jump

  • That doesn't sound like a heirarchy, if you can all just do your thing.

    If the manager or frontman tells everyone else what to do and you can't decide for yourself or tell them what to do, that would be hierarchic.
