Ounces and pounds -- like inches, feet and yards -- are human-size measurement units. The Metric system was a device of Napoleonic elites to enhance their power over commoners.  Still is ! For pure scientific measurement, power-of-10 systems have a big advantage. For everyday human activities with legs/nose/mouth/hands/arms/feet the ouncers win by a mile (1.609 km). You DO SEE the issue I imagine ...

Oblivious to live creation? Palsy, your musical tastes have been corrupted. Wouldn't be surprised if you also prefer DVDs to records, Marantz speakers and McIntosh tube pre-amps. Can't taste free-range-chicken either, can you ! Or support the local "little theater" group. I'm afraid you have a long road back to humanity.

AI artwork ( music/text/images ) ought to be treated like faux-synthetic-beef product . And  producers punished!  The prudent , value aware consumer does not consume items from either of those product classes.  If you cannot afford corn-fed American beef ( or wild-caught salmon/haddock etc ), then save up for it . One steak and one fresh fish a week is fine ... lots of grain/veggie/cheeze/bean options for the other days. Yes, one-day a week McMac or KFC is fine. Likewise, experience local-made music  and art in person. Or take a bus to a major city gallery museum. BTW/// Same with porn ... patronize local strip-clubs rather than AI-created video clips. Exercising agency adds value to any human, while  punishing ( by with-holding $$$ ) producers of synthetic reality stands as a great cultural virtue.

Stalin adapted whatever aspect(?)  power desired. Indeed, Lysenko was judged dead-wrong by science, until scientists discovered environmental stress was  an influence for DNA methylation   and thus gene transcription.  Under Democrat rule, many nominally scientific gov  agencies were turned to propaganda outlets. Now THEDONALD slaughters them ... paybacks are hell.

Have you read the referenced article ?  Right now nothing happens to the Atlantic flow. Some researcher got a new girlfriend and  needs a new grant to pay for her crack. He tinkers with the algorithm from his last paper  --- which respected the huge difficulty in modeling flow --- and magically discovers  ... the shy is falling ... sometime in the future of chaotic phenomena. How convenient !

I understand your logic very well. You hatehatehate the middle class and that hate corrupts your entire world-view. Why live with clothes, a pizza and roof over your head, when you can live in the gorse  like a savage and make Gaias bed.

Yes -- vote against a behavior with your $$ -- that's the way a market-economy based culture ought to self-govern financials as well as politics. But, post-mod America has empowered so many entitled and protected sub-classes that ANY complaint from a class-member -- no matter how snotty -- removes the $$-vote from non-class-member agency. If a business ( bar/insurance/diner/eyewear/etcetc ) is owned by a member of a "protected" class, then anyone who leaves the business because of weak privacy arrangements will ( in BLUE states ) be charged with a "hate" crime, just as if  she had shot-down an attacking/carjacking/mugging Bantu. See Cincinnati for a current  example. 

Comment Re: Some eat it up (Score 1) 83

Yep. The  political consequence is something called LAWS, and the social consequence is called civilization. Tell other folks how they will behave --- that's the essence of civilization. Some people don't like that meme. WE identify  them as savages or Randists or thugs or anarchists or fans of the noble savage.  Long-term successful cultures minimize those group within the general population ... most humanly by education, but other options exist.

Hard not to be tainted if only for a few minutes;  AI-slop videos are rarely marked as such. I know this first hand, from frequently  viewing video-content at my assisted-living facility. About 2/3 fiction/history/biopic/music  vids are clearly AI generated -- there's a cloying , skanky  visual smell to them that's unmistakable --  but only 1/10  are marked as  "synthetic" product. Bet the same is true at hospitals and products of so-called home  "streaming video" services.
In the day, didn't Milli-Vanilli try an analogous lip-sink skank at their live concerts?

Self-provision  of critical raw materials makes America safer, physically and culturally. Those minerals ought to be treated financially like F-35s and aircraft carriers. So basically  extraction/processing price is no object. Of-course that self-sufficiency screws sociopath  mercantile globalists, but they deserve every ounce of pain. Mebby instead of creating trading companies those sharpsters will creative manufacturing companies. BIG difference. 

Comment you're N Korean! (Score 1) 34

Bad mouthing worker validation ? Bloomers ruffled?  Sounds like spew from a North Korean/Chi.com digital infiltrator.  You can "smell"  their slash-dot posts like a leaky septic-tank.   A guild/craft/trade  person working from home appears natural and efficient and robust.  Not so much for employees of a large company.
