it's probably a little bit of both. idk, i'm not involved and disagree with his politics. but he's a good target for what you'd need to do to change minds because reasonable explanations can get through, but he's been poisoned by whatever cultural influences reagan imposed on his stupid little kid mind; believes in trickle down myth and such.

is making a profit enough to expand your operation stealing from workers?

nope

my dad does make a profit, he owns a small business.

I agree with the intent of this 100%

I tend to think the people who might not don’t have a clear understanding of what “for profit” means. My dad heard “for profit” and goes “yeah, that’s a good thing. I work for a profit too”

We need some clearer way to express “exploitative and extractive profit”

When my local mom n pop shop makes a profit, it’s so they can maybe expand their menu or open another location across town. Maybe send their kids to college. Or even buy a summer home, extravagant for most but still pretty reasonable. When ketamine king makes a profit, it’s by exploiting millions so he can feel like the worlds most special little guy and light another 5 years of global breathable air on fire in the process.

I really am interested in a folding phone, but i'm not comfortable with paying apple any new money if i can avoid it. I've completed my data migration off of iCloud and into self-hosted solutions, but i'm continuing to pay for iCloud until i'm confident i won't somehow have issues with nextcloud and immich.

When my iPhone 14 Pro eventually fails to meet my needs, I'm planning on getting a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, not because Google is any better, I don't want to be giving them money either, but it is compatible with GrapheneOS.

I guess so. I’m just so wary of everything revolving around AI, even blaming it. If the idea of AI psychosis gets big, but then undermined by shoddy reporting or research, it could cause people to dismiss it like the McDonald’s hot coffee thing.

I want AI companies to be held accountable, but only appropriately so they can’t use shakey arguments against it to get out of that responsibility.

I think my concern is with it being called “AI Psychosis”

It doesn’t seem like an effective call to action for treatment for the individual if we simply blame the AI not being “safe enough” or something.

Seems like you have 4 too many questions

The good place really is just democrats

The internet used to be a place
