Zizek has a joke in one of his books that only the Leninist party state could complete the final evolution of capitalism without democracy
“Yang Jiemin, VP of the state-owned company behind the port, said its highly automated operations require 60% fewer workers than traditional ports. It underscores one advantage Chinese companies have in deploying AI versus the U.S.: no independent labor unions.” www.wsj.com/tech/ai/ai-r... (🎁🔗)
Robots and AI Are Already Remaking the Chinese Economy
China’s factories and ports are learning to make and export more goods faster, cheaper and with fewer workers.

Germany uses the excuse of the ’ceasefire’ which Israel routinely violates to sell weapons to Israel again. Israel is being rewarded for committing genocide by the country that pretends to have learned from the holocaust.

What it's strange that everyone commenting on this seems to miss is that this obsession of Thiel is a direct response to Bostrom's argument that we should stop technology (AI) by building a global totalitarian state.

Thiel is viewing the entire world through the lens of the rationalist civil war.
He claims the default political solution people have for existential risks is one world governance. Isn't that weird, how when we have global issues we think hey maybe some global cooperation would be the best way to address global issues. You want nuclear nonproliferation? Antichrist.

"Traumatic encounter with the real" seems to describe so many people's reaction. Science is an arena where pleasant ideas can be proven wrong and unpleasant ones may be true, and many people just can't handle that.

Important trekkie lore just dropped
Thanks to another set of Phase II slides going up on ebay, we now know what this is

This transparent dome with a hinge attached to the wall is the Captain's Commode

Now commode can mean different types of furniture across the world, but I believe in the US it means flushing toilet.

Free trade is communist. Having a girlfriend is gay.

They're so desperate for a powerful single unifying slur that functionally just means "capable of caring about other people."

There's a UBI post on FB being reposted by thousands of accounts that's pro-UBI disinfo. No, Sweden didn't do a big UBI pilot where 5,000 Swedes got $1800/mo in UBI for 3 years. That never happened. The "results" appear to be AI-generated. UBI works. It doesn't need false data. See my pinned thread.
