Who cares at this point, they’re doing evil, treat it as such

And then… What is that money going to get used for, exactly?

That’s the fucked up part in all of this. A government is much closer to something like a non-profit than it is to a business. Because, like, when you’re a government and have a monetary surplus, what do you do with it? Of course you just wanna spend it!

I know the actual answer is “to give to the billionaires because apparently having enough money for 2000 uber-wealthy lifetimes is not enough” but you know

Remember that a loooot of that goes to stuff like funding research, as that’s the domain of universities beyond just education. I don’t think it’s unreasonable at all

I will say, even despite me being the one constantly yelling about the incoming american fascism, I also though it’d take at least a little longer

But here we are, with most institutions and companies just rolling over. Sure, I figured it would happen, but I at least thought it’d take more than a year. Not… 3 months

It’s… I lack words, even. This is straight up nazi Germany, except we have the hindsight of history, and yet it’s still all for naught. Incredibly incredibly scary

I don’t know what they were teaching you at the course, but home/personal IoT was never the most interesting thing in the field. IoT sees a lot more interest and use in industrial application, for example stuff like logistics, farming, automation, measuring, stuff like traffic signals and smart grids, and so on

What they are, are statistical models. You can verify the output, you know

AI has been used for tons of useful stuff for ages, you just never heard about it unless you were in the space until LLMs came around

Considering just how massive China is, they probably have the best shot at a truly independent “internal world” economy

Like what? Do you think the current leadership listens to reason?

The point is, is that it doesn’t matter. Companies are not true allies, they just do whatever earn them the most money and PR

If it means to become literal Nazis, then they become literal Nazis. And sell the supplies to the gas chambers

Interesting, I’ve never had an issue with the video stream on nebula

Unless you kill yourself, because you know, that happens a lot in untreated mental illness

Or even more “minor” stuff like not taking care of your own health, pushing away everyone you know and love, or even maybe want them to hate you so that they won’t get hurt when you do finally do something

You are downplaying mental illness, whether you admit to it or not. Our brain is the core of our being, why do you not take it as seriously as the rest of our body?

No, its you that are downplaying the effects of mental health

Why is it that mental health issues are treated less severely than physical health issues? You can be deeply affected, and even die, due to them either way

They both can ruin lives

It’s uncanny how relevant this is

And what do you want non-americans to do… exactly?

Thanks to you all I’m sitting here in my non-american country worrying about a potential world war. Though at least I’m trying towards increasing support for Americans refugees fleeing the fascist regime

I remember that video when it was new, and how very uncritical veritasium was

Disappointing

Honestly I’m surprised anyone would even want to sleep with a trumper. Like, what’s the appeal? It’s not like they treat women (or anyone, really) well

I don’t know, I think what will just end up happening is china’s “dollar” taking its place instead

We’re just going to end up exchanging one superpower for another, it’s not going to fundamentally fix the problem. For that you’d need to do it more sensibly
