Killing other systems is a form of “virtue” though, because as idealistic as anyone wants to be, whatever system we make will exist in a competitive ecosystem. Want to make a functional communism? Well, it has to be able to survive assaults from capitalism. A system cannot just be “moral” or “good”, it also has to be strong or ruthless enough to protect it’s existence from the many forces which will seek to destroy it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why don't I care about the Artemis mission/program?
1·11 days agoWe can with enough money. We already established we can build stuff in orbit and send stuff to orbit. All you need to get to mars is a larger rocket. So assemble it in space and go to mars. It’s the same problem of going to the moon just with more delta v.

Sweet, push to production.
And getting a lot more difficult to find email that doesn’t want your phone number, while getting more difficult to buy a phone without giving out your personal information.

1·16 days agoI haven’t used grok personally, but on gemini it’s not too hard to get it to shit on the oligarchs. Even basically got it to admit killing Trump would be a net positive to society without much effort.
I do agree in principle that LLMs work much better in cases where you can verify the output quickly but getting there would be difficult, so NP problems basically.
I’m in a weird position with LLMs because I have found them absolutely invaluable as a learning tool, but also recognize how much damage they could do to society, especially in the hands of dumber people when it comes to propagandization.

politics @lemmy.world•The US president just instructed the USPS to seize any ballots cast be anyone not approved by the federal government.
2·20 days agoOk. First step is organization. How we do? Obviously they watch us here. So, how to organize without being eaten?
We ever going to do something about Visa? Because that shit is getting spooky.

Late Stage Capitalism@lemmy.world•Capitalism only helps those with capital
1·20 days agoYou cannot have private and collective ownership simultaneously.
Well, there is state capitalism like China, where production is theoretically owned publicly via representatives of the people, but in practice is more like private ownership with extra steps.

TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•The voters have spoken
3·23 days agoI mean, I love Andor, but I didn’t see much Utopia going on in it, which is kind of what makes Star Trek what it is: sci-fi where humans defeated their own demons, and now fly around space being awesome, empathetic and kind, using science and philosophy to help people and solve problems. Andor is about fighting evil space fascism, so almost the opposite of Star Trek really.
That being said, Andor is awesome and everyone should watch it.

politics @lemmy.world•Third round of ‘No Kings’ protests are expected to be the largest so far, organizers say
11·24 days agoSo you’re too afraid to go to a protest but your “big plans” are so much more radical than going to a protest? M’kay.

11·24 days agoIn both my experiences, once the “main group” left, there were people more aligned towards… non “allowed” “methods of liberation”.
I can tell you went to neither. You say you can’t talk online because it is too dangerous, but also won’t go to the concentration of people angry for the same reasons to talk about it. Is your plan to be a lone wolf? Because one asshole with a good drone that wipes out even ideally, like, musk, bezos, zuck, trump, 5 supreme court justices, hegseth, vance, thiel, you still haven’t solved it if you were a lone asshole with a lucky drone. The problem is more systemic. Continuing pressure is necessary. Groups. Organization, which begins somewhere.

World News@lemmy.world•Firms with more women in top roles more likely to dismiss abusive men, study findsEnglish
11·24 days agoBut the second is talking about abuses against males. If anything, using two words “dismissed, and sacked” one in each paragraph, makes it even more confusing. Felt like it was saying women in senior positions protected women less (dismissed abusers) while protecting men more (sacking abusers). Just say sacked both times.



Can we do a Battlefield Earth style training montage?
