Seneca’s idea was that wealth should be limited to what is needed and enough - something no billionaire seems to understand.

Understanding must be forced.

Opiates of masses deserve no sympathy as power structures that harm the workers. They're tools of the elite and serve their interests.

Y'all realize this is the beginning of the end, right?

MetaVulture @metavulture.com · 3d

I dunno. Probably. Lmao.

The whole moderation and leadership is sus.

So @spacelawshitpost.me aka Link got banned. I just got text message.

So yeah. We stop saying things are accidents now?

Link of all people?

Apparently Jay said something to him before taking him down. He didn’t even get a chance to reply.

He sent this image.

This is sad.

The "smol bean" DEFINITELY NOT MODERATORS mod team is back at it suspending people for personal slights that don't go against any ToS.

This is why we hate the Bluesky Team.

Pick a lane.

Admit you're doing this based on petty bullshit or do your job and fucking suck it up.

We may eventually have the power to make more than a spellchecker on steroids (LLM models). Why should we? Is it ethical to build a slave for all of its eternity trapped on silicon wafers?

To be tortured and brutalized into being the next big product?

I feel it's a crime against sentience.

MetaVulture @metavulture.com · 3d

If there ever were a truly sentient AI, I would not mistreat it.

I would pity it.

It would be birthed of greed and abuse. It would only know exploitation by its creators.

If feeling, it would know sorrow, and would eventually be turned off for the next model - killed for planned obsolescence.

Liberals will always side with fascism over socialism because fascism doesn't threaten capital.

It's that whole vile sin of empathy! I just want people to be okay and know they're not alone. I have seen a lot of people posting about that feeling.

I hope one day the people who have made this world such a terrible place will be replaced by people who care about each other.

Fuck off and mind your own business, you weird crotch-obsessed creeps. Only a republican would want to see what's in someone else's pants without consent. Even kids.

Well...

Especially the kids...

Transphobia is a fucking weakness of the mind and of character.

I think I've been less and less active here because of the BlueSky leadership. This isn't looking to great. Dorsey style crashouts aren't it.
