And you ignored the massive damage the soviet union did to the biosphere under its control.

The soviet union was an oligarchy, so no surprise.

And the massive damage China does to the biosphere to this day.

China is mostly capitalist and people who think they are communist because that's what it says on the package know nothing about China or communism.

To the entire world as the number one polluter on the planet.

To the entire world buying their products from China and therefore sharing the blame is what you would say if you believed in accountability, but that's not a thing for maggots.

Google is proud to be named a technology partner in this vital initiative

Fuck. Now I'm too sickened by Google to buy another Android phone. But Apple literally gave Trump gold so I also cannot buy an iPhone. I guess my next phone won't allow me access to web banking. I'm going to have to change to a local bank.

Religious orders are fine to mock.

And there's the rub, most of the homophobes and transphobes and most of the other phobes in the USA think they're Christians but don't want to love anyone. They got told that homosexuality was wrong by people who want them to make good Christian Soldiers. But the same goes for the other Abrahamic brainwashing victims, and there's no real difference between them.

that suggests to me that the problem wasn't really his opinions but him becoming the ceo. unlike a cto, a ceo can actually manage a corporation and change direction in fundamental ways

The only reason anyone even noticed was he became CEO and therefore was subjected to more scrutiny. This is warranted for exactly the reason you describe. It didn't matter as much when he was only CTO, because he didn't have that level of control.

I'm highly skeptical of large neural networks but think optimized neural networks can provide superior results to our own programming efforts which can be equally unpredictable due to edge cases.

I think neural nets have a place in industrial control, but it's only for sub-processes which are also guarded by watchdogs which prevent really OOB behavior.

The USSR was just another oligarchy. They had privileged people at the top and everyone else was below them. That's not communism. You might argue that communism is impossible, but the obvious retort is that capitalism is unsustainable and leads to plutocracy, which is just a specific kind of oligarchy.

Therefore what we can really conclude is not that communism or even capitalism is itself the problem, it's tolerating inequality.
