I assume Arizona has rocks and bricks and stuff lying around somewhere

I remember him bragging on Joe rogans shitty podcast saying he had been working 16hrs a day seven days a week for years. When does he have time to have all these kids

Yawweee877h444 ,

I agree and hate that you're getting downvoted lol
It's fucking twitter. x is a letter

Yawweee877h444 ,

Meh.

Even if 90% of theft is greed and meant to be resold for profit, I'll still ignore it for the 10% that are stealing out of extreme desperate necessity.

We live in a country that has 100 billionaires that are undeserved and unearned, arguably. You can become a Millionaire solely by making YouTube videos stuffing your face full of fast food and gaining 500lbs, as a freakshow that gets lots of likes/subscribes. All while public school teachers are on food stamps and infrastructure around the country is degrading and not being improved, etc., etc.

The system we have is trash. Obviously I don't support stealing from the little guy, but theft from large corporations I'll always support. Large corporations inherently steal from the poor, directly and indirectly. It's inherent to our capitalist system.

I support the sentiment of the meme.

Yawweee877h444 ,

We are, in reality, dealing with a much larger issue.

Care to articulate how you'd describe it?

Much more than just capitalism, right? Like that, plus our entire culture, generations of propaganda and indoctrination. All of our power structures, political, financial, military, media, education.

Everything. Much larger issue is an understatement. How do we fix it?

Yawweee877h444 ,

Why bother living.

I guess maybe if the extreme overwork overtime is a means to an end by getting money, retire early, get experience to find a more reasonable job... I guess maybe some can justify it. Maybe. There's probably some who feel forced due to desperate circumstances.

Idk. I hate this overworked overtime culture.

X is a single letter most commonly used as a variable in algebra and other math courses. Also commonly used for loops when writing code.

Hyundai wouldn't be dumb enough to name one of their cars a single letter. Even back when Toyota had the Scion brand, they named their models the xA and xB, because naming anything a single letter is fucking retarded. Do we not have language in our society still? Must we revert to monke and just make single syllable noises?

I say, companies all around should start rebranding as single letters. Apple will be A. AMD will also be A. Samsung S, Starbucks also S. This would be hilarious to show how dumb Elon is.

Vanced died. If revanced dies we'll just get rerevanced. Ad infitum.

Yawweee877h444 ,

This was the one. This was my proudest fap.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I hate Elon but love the idea of this. The utopian version, not the dystopian version obviously.

We are really going to have to make sure that regulation is solid if we want to go towards the positive utopian version.

Yawweee877h444 ,

Ok, the solution is to abolish capitalism then, and I'm more than fine with that.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I agree 100%. It wouldn't be easy though. Humans are inherently selfish and greedy. I believe a large minority are borderline sociopathic as well, whether its inherited or learned idk. We need a system that really punishes and limits sociopathic behavior.

Unfortunately but accurately, capitalism rewards sociopathic behavior exponentially, to the point where you have to at least act sociopathic in your decision making to have a very large scale successful business, or at least never/rarely make altruistic decisions. Otherwise, you'll be priced out by competition that does make the more sociopathic decisions (lower pay for workers, dangerous work environments, whatever to cut costs, etc.).

I dont know how we fix this, but it's certainly time for capitalism to die or be reigned in significantly.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I feel like this is easy to answer and I'm not sure why the question comes up so often.

People have jobs and get payed salaries to both build and maintain houses/apartments. Rent payments would go to pay the actual people that did the building / do the maintenance. Nobody makes profit off this. No landlord, no investor, no profit. The money goes to cover building costs, then maintenance. Easy peasy.

We have things like this. People build and maintain our public roads, schools, water/sewer systems, fire departments, military, etc.

No profits. No landlord gets free money for renting. No wallstreet investor gets free money for selling at high market values, etc.

Obviously, decisions have to be made about supply/demand, areas where lots of people want to live and all that. So what? Let's make those decisions intelligently instead of greed and profit driven.

Yawweee877h444 ,

Agree with your comment. It seems most people are conservative about stuff like this due to fear.

I personally want the AI and the cool robot stuff, without hesitation. Our problem (imo) is our current corrupt, exploitative capitalist system. We need regulation that protects the entire populace, not just the billionaire and corporate leadership class. All these advancements should absolutely be explored, but for the benefit of all, and protections for everyone.

How we fix this though, I'm cynical. Which is why I respect people who are mostly afraid of the possible negative consequences.

Yawweee877h444 ,

The solution should be to fix our system which is designed to enrich the wealthy. We should fix this and have the machines/AI and automation to benefit everyone.

I feel like your solution is to not do the cool new innovative thing that has the potential to help everyone, and so let's just stay in this capitalist hellscape as is? At least if massive robot automation displaces tons of jobs, then the Working class might be forced to come together and fight back, maybe?

Your mindset is just to keep everything the way it currently is, which I think sucks.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I dont have a solution, that's why I'm cynical. It is perfectly OK to say "I don't know".

That being said, you're way of thinking is very myopic and only fits our current society standard / zeitgeist.

Why do people need to do these menial jobs at all? You're answer is probably that they won't have money to pay for food, rent, etc. What if we had a society where people could pursue hobbies, interests, passions, etc, without fear of homelessness and starvation? Why can't we reach for something much better than what we have now?

Some people would exploit such a system and never contribute to society and just sit around playing video games all day? So what, who gives a shit?

Just because this would be extremely difficult, and we have absolutely no idea how to do it, doesn't mean we should just give up and not try. The current system sucks ass. People shouldn't be wasting there time doing menial pointless labor to keep the wealthy rich, just to survive a pointless existence.

Yawweee877h444 ,

Ok fair enough.

My only last point would be that what if the socioeconomic changes we want could be resolved because of the technical/automation advancements? What if it's the only way to get the change we want? I'd see great hardship as a transition most probably.

I'm obviously just speculating here. I'm very very cynical about solving the socioeconomic issues first, I just don't see it happening, enstead we just stay business as usual. At least with a huge shift in automation causing massive job loss there is the potential for a big revolutionary change. No guarantee obviously, it could also only make things worse. We really don't know.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I like your style, but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they keep every single version.

Yawweee877h444 ,

It's "only" 125 TB. Still a lot, and impressive. But I just hate the stupid click baity 'petabit' term. We use bytes GB and TB as a standard, just use the standard term it's impressive enough.

Yawweee877h444 ,

Sorry to be that guy, but in this context byte is strictly defined as 8 bits, never anything else. It's a strict definition in digital.

Yawweee877h444 ,

I will refrain from using the word "standard", but when it comes to data storage the most common terminology is in bytes, as I said TB(terabytes), GB, etc. Saying Pb(petabits) isn't as common and gimmicky imo when referring to a new disk storage technology. 125 TB is impressive enough without having to throw the Peta in there.

Yawweee877h444 ,

Yeah "standard" was a poorly chosen word. I meant common, as bytes are much more commonly used for disk storage.
