Schools already were largely propaganda machines for corporations. Though this bigger brother is of course far worse.
By state not really that useful. Much like US politics, it pretty much comes down to urban or rural? All states have a massive urban/rural earning divide that would probably show a more useful contrast; debt where income is lower has significantly higher impact.
They people who wave away bombing a school and killing 175 because "it's war"(that we unilaterally started). These are definitely the people who you want to trust on child safety and well-being.
Plausible accountability
Correct, because it's important that only large corps with access to resources to create widely used LLMs have unfettered access to the minds of our populace in a completely open way. Random humans being able toaccess and exchange information adhoc, independently without prior approval is of course incompatible with the first amendment.
They aren't going to be able to retire anyway so it's almost moot. The average amounts saved by age are predictable and depressing. Anyone would have predicted and did that voluntary retirement contributions and management by underpaid laymen would be something the general public failed at compared to a world where pensions were something companies managed to say nothing of the fact they were guaranteed.
This paired with refusal to fund social security--but always plenty for wars, tax breaks and surgeilance--is deliberate, designed and depressing. 95% of Americans will work until they die.
The email. The email. The what what? The email.
Have disposable income that allows you to buy a dog, but also medical care. Wonder which one is the causal variable and which one is just correlative?
"nope"
Dictatorships can be very efficient, tons of time saved by no meetings, delays, stakeholders, rights, debate or considerations needed.
It provided a much-needed lift...

It's 100% the end goal. The shortage driving ram prices is to build data centers; it's not just to hold LLM compute power but to centralize (meaningful) compute power.
Humans are powerful with open information, the ability to communicate, organize...better rip all that down and give consumers what they want; easily clickable funnels into your compute power, your data harvesting, your political and information control...it's the techno fascist fantasy.
I'm shocked by the number of adults 20-40 who don't own their own computer at home. Even when computers are dirty cheap in the US compared to their information, record keeping and economic vitality to modern living at ~$400-$1,000, tons of adults simply walked away from computing or never started it as smartphones were already here and were easy to slide into instead of having to learn.
Lemmy worries about windows users but I worry about people who don't have ANY understanding of how special this moment in history has been when plebs had access to the same technology that oligarchs did (broadly). It's historically an anomaly that the wealthy and powerful would like to correct. Literally the means of production.
