Late stage capitalism will end like the opening scene of the dark knight; the joker killing every one of his criminal accomplices, one by one, as soon as they have fulfilled their role (their value has been extracted).
It’s an apt analogy because all of these capitalists are mentally ill &/or criminals.
The 200+ hours a month sitting at a desk, in front of the tv, or doom scrolling, are probably far more damaging than the 40 hours in traffic.
Member how the metaverse was supposed to revolutionise our lives, but they just spent dozens of billions on a shitty VR sim, renamed their whole company over it, then fired tens of thousands of workers when it flopped, but still jerked zuck off for his capitalist prowess?
He’s worth hundreds of billions more today! Capitalism is a fucking clown world.
They didn’t earn their billions by not committing genocide, that’s for damn sure.
You can bet your ass this parasite is trying to bring fascism into the Aussie mainstream. That’s why she’s saying this, and why it’s being reported.
If you read between the lines Hanson also said this recently, so they’re essentially right wing media mouth pieces coordinating propaganda. I bet Sky News and all of Murdochs other psyops are heavily promoting opposition to prosecuting war criminals. That’s what fascists do.
Because under capitalist “democracy”, your level of both speech and political representation is proportional to your wealth.
What you’re calling lies are false positives. To lie you have to know the truth. AI’s are ignorant. They don’t know what anything is, as all they “know” is mathematical patterns in 1’s and 0’s.
They would only be lies if Google engineers explicitly overrided the model to output the false information. What most implementations of LLM’s are is weaponized incompetence, for-profit. Capitalists know they output false information, and they don’t care, because their only goal is profit and power.
You can always tell who the vibe/shit/non coders are by the way they pontificate AI as some revolution that completely changes software, instead of yet another tool that has significant tradeoffs…
“But mongo DB is web scale!?!” — dunning-krugers
It’s to funnel users into propaganda bubbles and voids, making it harder for them to see alternate content and viewpoints. It’s been pretty obvious with how aggressively they remove and discipline antifascist politics.
Surveillance-capitalism fascists unite!
At least the developed world is dropping the charade and making it crystal clear that we live in corporate dictatorships.
That would be best case scenario; the trash taking itself out, so nobody else has to get their hands dirty.
I’m not picky, though. Nazi lives don’t matter.
Where were their “draconian” virtue signals when the government colluded with surveillance capitalist techno-fascists to force Australians to hand over their identity to big brother to use social media?
Oh, that’s right. They only exist for greed and exploitation; they only believe what they’re paid to believe.
I’m really looking forward to the day someone shoots that nazi in the face.
Surveillance capitalism will continue the fascist takeover until the whole planet is a totalitarian company town and we are all slaves to big brother; paying a daily subscription to breathe.
I’m not even joking.
Ah yes. When i read the fascist FTC head sent the letter — a criminal who threatens antifascist media for political speech — I was certain consequences will only apply to debanking fascists.
By the way our corporate dictatorships are speed-running totalitarianism, I’d say before the decade is done. I will choose to be an antifa terrorist before I accept fascism.
This is actually the least invasive form of age verification for Apple users. Apple already has a credit card on file for something like 90+% of the user base.
The alternative the political whore class are promoting is apps individually verifying with a multitude of data brokers “ID providers”.
This is the illusion of choice under the surveillance capitalism of corporate dictatorships. Rather than regulate capitalists, the gov colludes with them to exploit and enslave consumers.
Passwords are fine. It’s people who should not exist.
It also makes no sense. Sperm only live a couple of months, so logic dictates that they’d be strongest sometime in the first 1-4 weeks. Their youth; not in middle to old age.
Age verification is being promoted by surveillance capitalism lobbyists. It is literally an operation to deanon as much web traffic as possible for data harvesting, profiling, and propaganda. Handing everyones browsing data to billionaire techno fascists who only use that data for exploitation is the opposite of protecting children.
Might as well let the fox “secure” the hen house by chaining up the chicks “to protect them”.
America has been rotting from the inside since WW2 (MIC, FBI and CIA terrorism, etc), then supercharged with Reagan. Frankly, it’s surprising it took this long.
