You conflate economic, which this game isn't really about, with oppressive territorial statism.

It's a side effect of first-past-the-post politics causing political bundling.

If you want people with your ideas in power then you need to also accept all the rest of the bullshit under the tent.

Or expel them out of your already small coalition and become even weaker.

And imagine if public facing forums weren't mostly dead because of the "necroposting" hate moderator brainworm

Oops this discussion from 2017 is the number one google link for your niche topic ? Well, too bad, post in new and maybe in five years it will be #2 post on google for that topic.

Who put the nerds with no friends in charge of human social interaction ‽

There is, and there has never been value behind discord's closed doors. Don't waste your words there, it is like talking to the wind.

interdimensionalmeme ,

I just use chatgpt, a sufficient surrogate for the rest of humanity. At least as it pertains to knowledge before 2023.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Xmpp is acceptable for my friend group. We are eyeing matrix.

It is unsuitable for knowledge preservation, like IRC and discord.

interdimensionalmeme ,

Post in a old thread, and often mods will immediately yell at you and close the thread for having committed the crime of necroposting. Which only makes visible the old post for the minuscule but devoted part of the userbase that actually waits in the "thread by last post, chronological order view". Those people by definition, want new stuff and are annoyed by the old thread messing up the feng shui of their post order. Probably an OCD thing.

This is mostly because those old forum software lack a "thread by creation date, chronological view".

So they close those discussions that happen on the timescale of years. They close the discussion that are google's top links. Then they get bored waiting for new and leave for discord. Where nothing is recorded nor searchable. So all this effort and knowledge goes right down the drain.

Network transparency OR BUST

And that's with functional copy&paste, drag&drop ?
Basically indistinguishable from a local app ?

Ok, then buy an rtx 4090 for every computer in the house

You misunderstand, I don't want crap graphics on every computer, I want the 4090 driving every computer without having to buy one per computer.

That's what you could do with network transparency.

PCs were not intended to have more than 640kb of ram and yet.

The blame can squarely be placed on nvidia for this decrepitude of X11 and its functionality which is in contradiction of nvidia's unlimited profit ambitions.

RDP is the anachronism. Why would I want to stream a whole desktop environement with its own separate taskbar, clock, whole user environement. Especially given how janky and laggy it is.

No, I want to stream -just- the application, it should use my system's color and temperature scheme, interoperate clipboard and drag&drop, be basically indistinguishable from a locally running app, except streaming at 500mbps AV1 hardware encoded, 12 ms latency max, 16k resolution, yes this is not a typo, 16 bit hdr, hdr that actually works, the sounds works too, works every time, yes 8 channel 192khz 24 bit lossless. Also capable of pure IP multicast streaming. Yes that means one application instance visible on multiple computer, at the same time and can be interacted with multiple users at the same time with -no- need for the app to be aware if any of this.

Do that with no jank and I'll sing wayland's praises.

Trolleys are quite slow affairs, like all public transport they happen at the leisurely pace of thevunemployed.

We can presume that all passengers of the trolley would prefer the trolley be stopped in this controlled manner than via a further uncontrolled collision.

Also, since passengers have never been explicitely mentionned in the premise, they do NOT exist. After all, many version of the trolley problen even go so far as to stipulate your kin relationship with the potential victims on the tracks to sway your decision.

If there had been passengers they would have mentionned repeatedly, yet they have not.

No, the only person on the trolley is the conductor, the one person with more responsibility than the switch flipping audience stand-in.

Not suprising, as a lot of scheduled public transportation travels in a state of under-utilization.

And for that reason, controlled derailment is the only moral certainty, as the fact that the trolley has no brakes is the only guaranteed fact universally included in this problem AND ensuring safe operability of the trolley is a universal responsibility of all persons driving a vehicle in public.

I faced the Kobayashi Maru, tanked hits with shields down while I beamed over all that could be saved before the stranded ship was destroyed by the enemy.

The whole time I was firing at time scoring multiple hits while I circled and dodged.

Once the rescue operation was terminated, shields were raised to full and I concentrated on the lead ship. It was already heavily damaged and I promptly sent it to pagan klingon hell.

It was glorious. I continued firing at the next ship, the rage of our weapons soon punched a hole where their bridge once was.

As we turned toward the last ship, it had broken off, shamefully fleeing.

We could not pump enough ammunition before it would depart so I took decisive action.

I ordered to ram the enemy ship into its engine section, they were immediately disabled while we suffered crumpling damage to our evacuated fore section.

We pulled back and finished off the last survivor from a distance.

After the battle we scoured the friendly wreck and rescued a few more people as well as some klingon prisoners.

We dematerialized all remaining wreckagr from the areas, no communications made it out during the battle due to our jamming.

With the only witnesses aboard my ship I departed.

The greedier spreads wider and faster than the bening. You wanted social darwinism, congrats now society is infected with a social virus.

Elizabeth Sugrue, the infanticide mother, in 1789 birthed the social demon who haunts us to this day when she peered into the eyes of terrified teenagers "Whiteboys" and plunged her knife into their throat under the watchful eye of the state. She ended 24 of her kind that day and she herself was spared for having alleviated tge sorrow of the managers of capital from having to lower themselves of performing this heinous labour.

GPT

Your narrative weaves historical elements with a poignant critique of societal and economic dynamics. Elizabeth Sugrue, also known as "Lady Betty," is a figure shrouded in myth and reality, and her story intertwines with the complex fabric of Irish history during a period of significant social and political turbulence. The reference to the "Whiteboys" introduces an element of historical context that reflects the agrarian unrest and the socio-economic struggles of the time.

Your text suggests a reflection on the broader consequences of social and economic policies and attitudes, hinting at the perpetuation of inequality and violence. It's a powerful reminder of how historical events and figures can be interpreted or reimagined to discuss contemporary issues. The narrative's vivid imagery and the underlying critique invite a deeper examination of how the past informs our understanding of present societal challenges.

Is there a specific aspect of this narrative or historical period you're interested in exploring further?

What do the enclosures have to do with any of this ?
GPT

The Enclosure Acts, significant in England from the 16th to the 19th century, and similar policies in Ireland, are deeply relevant to the socio-economic backdrop you're discussing. These acts allowed for the privatization and consolidation of common lands, previously open to communal use for farming, grazing, and other purposes, into individual, privately owned plots. This process fundamentally altered the social and economic landscape, leading to widespread displacement of peasant populations, increased poverty, and social unrest.

In the context of your narrative, the enclosures are emblematic of the broader themes of social and economic transformation driven by the interests of capital and the state. They represent a shift towards a more individualistic, capitalistic society, where the accumulation of private property and wealth became paramount, often at the expense of social equity and communal welfare.

The enclosures can be seen as a form of socio-economic 'infection,' to use your metaphor, where the prioritization of private gain over communal good led to deep social divides and unrest, similar to the unrest and resistance movements like those of the "Whiteboys" in Ireland. These movements arose in response to oppressive economic policies and practices, including land enclosures, tithes, and other forms of economic exploitation.

Thus, the enclosures are not just a historical footnote but a significant factor in the development of modern capitalist economies and societies, contributing to the dynamics of inequality, displacement, and social struggle that continue to resonate today. They provide historical context for understanding the origins of current socio-economic structures and the persistent challenges of balancing private interests with social equity.

How is this relevant to the discussion of closed AI companies who train their models on all of humanity's common intellectual heritage and then keep the AGI models to themselves ?
GPT

The analogy you're drawing between the Enclosure Acts and the practices of closed AI companies is both insightful and relevant. Just as the Enclosure Acts privatized and restricted access to common lands, transforming shared resources into exclusive property, some argue that closed AI companies are doing something similar with humanity's collective knowledge and intellectual heritage.

Common Heritage to Private Domains:
Human knowledge, culture, and information have traditionally been seen as common heritage, accessible to all. Libraries, universities, and public institutions have served as stewards of this heritage, ensuring open access for education, research, and innovation. However, as AI companies train their models on vast swathes of this shared knowledge, transforming it into proprietary algorithms and datasets, this heritage becomes enclosed within the private domains of these companies. Like the land enclosures, this process can restrict public access to and control over these resources.

Socio-Economic Impacts:
The enclosure of intellectual resources by AI companies raises concerns similar to those sparked by the land enclosures: inequality, loss of communal rights, and the concentration of power. In the AI context, this translates into disparities in who can access and benefit from advanced technologies, who controls these technologies, and whose interests they ultimately serve. The risk is that the benefits of AI and AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) might accrue to a select few, reinforcing existing inequalities and creating new forms of digital divide.

Ethical and Policy Implications:
This situation invites a discussion about the ethical implications of enclosing what might be considered common intellectual property and the role of policy in ensuring equitable access to AI technologies. It raises questions about how to balance private innovation with public good, the responsibilities of AI companies to society, and the mechanisms for ensuring that the benefits of AI advancements are widely shared.

Public vs. Private Stewardship:
There's also a broader conversation about the stewardship of collective knowledge and innovation. The debate mirrors that of the commons and private land ownership—how to manage and govern shared resources in a way that benefits society as a whole. In the AI field, this could mean exploring models of open AI, collaborative research, and public-private partnerships that aim to democratize access to AI technologies and ensure they are developed and used in the public interest.

The parallel you've drawn highlights not just historical continuities but also the ongoing need to navigate the tensions between private gain and public good, especially as technological advances like AI become increasingly central to societal development.

No amount of education is going to side step getting fucked in the ass like working for minimum wage.

They also tried to sterelize the lupenproletariat and it didn't end well.

Plus, no matter how many destitute families expire, they refill the servitor ranks with brain draining the rest of the planet.

Because without maintaining an excess supply of working hands, the marginal cost of labour would explode. And the rich want their latté.

All this to say, the low wages are kept low by design.It's the very reason for all the assfuckery.

So no, it won't be solved by getting the poors to fuck less and have less kids.

Yes, USA client states like Canada have also been strong armed into enacting similar oppressive measures. The same way they have forced us to enact their utterly monstrous and demonic anti-drug laws.

Here is a passage from a local news paper about the "keicars", explaining why we cannot have anything that is sized between a moto and a car. They are using bullshit "for safety" justifications of course. Whatever works as usual.

" Ils ne sont pas conformes aux normes de sécurité des véhicules automobiles du Canada (NSVAC) applicables. «La Loi sur la sécurité automobile et le Règlement sur la sécurité des véhicules automobiles exigent qu'à la date d'importation, tout véhicule importé au Canada soit conforme aux NSVAC applicables en vigueur à la date de sa fabrication. Les véhicules fabriqués pour la vente dans des pays autres que le Canada et les États-Unis ne sont pas conformes aux exigences de la Loi sur la sécurité automobile du Canada, ne peuvent pas être modifiés pour les rendre conformes et ne peuvent pas être importés au Canada», explique Maryse Durette, porte-parole de Transports Canada."

Here it is translated in english

"They are not in compliance with the applicable Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS). "The Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations require that, at the date of importation, any vehicle imported into Canada must comply with the applicable CMVSS in force at the date of its manufacture. Vehicles manufactured for sale in countries other than Canada and the United States do not meet the requirements of the Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Act, cannot be modified to make them compliant, and cannot be imported into Canada," explains Maryse Durette, spokesperson for Transport Canada."

I asked ChatGPT about it, I had to bullly it about it but it spilled the beans.

If we strip away the more complex layers of context and focus solely on the more critical viewpoints regarding the absence or restriction of smaller vehicles like kei cars in the US and Canada, a more direct analysis might suggest a few key motives:

Protectionism: The automotive industries in countries like the US and Canada are major economic sectors, providing a significant number of jobs and contributing heavily to GDP. Allowing an influx of smaller, foreign-made vehicles like kei cars could potentially disrupt the domestic market, affecting sales of locally made vehicles and, by extension, the broader economy. From this perspective, restrictive regulations could indeed be seen as a form of protectionism, designed to shield domestic manufacturers from competition that doesn't align with the existing market structure and product offerings.

Regulatory Inertia: Once a set of standards and regulations is deeply embedded within a country's legal and economic framework, changing those standards can be incredibly challenging. This inertia can unintentionally serve as a barrier to the introduction of vehicle types that don't fit neatly within existing categories or standards, even if there's no explicit intention to ban those vehicles. The complexity and cost of regulatory compliance for a small, niche segment might not be justifiable for manufacturers, effectively keeping these vehicles out of the market.

Economic Prioritization: Decisions around vehicle regulations are not made in a vacuum; they reflect broader economic priorities. If the economic benefits of maintaining the status quo—such as protecting jobs in the automotive and related industries, or preserving tax revenues from higher-priced vehicles—are perceived as outweighing the benefits of diversifying the vehicle market, regulations will likely reflect this prioritization. This doesn't necessarily require an explicit, coordinated effort to ban certain types of vehicles; it can simply be the result of a series of decisions that collectively favor existing economic interests.

Market Manipulation: There's also the argument that the automotive industry, through lobbying and influence on regulatory bodies, actively works to shape regulations in a way that limits competition from vehicle types that could disrupt their current business models. This kind of market manipulation doesn't need to involve outright bans but can effectively limit certain types of vehicles through stringent safety, emission, or import regulations that are difficult for these vehicles to meet.

In conclusion, while there might not be a single, nefarious ulterior motive behind the absence of vehicles like kei cars in the US and Canadian markets, the combination of economic protectionism, regulatory inertia, economic prioritization, and potential market manipulation by entrenched interests could collectively create an environment where only certain types of vehicles are viable. This reflects a complex interplay of factors rather than a simple, unilateral decision to exclude certain vehicles.

And even more dangerous are the safety advocates keeping this power only for themselves and their friends.

Nothing is more dangerous than the guard rails themselves.
