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.

People don't go to Wendy's though. I mean I do, and some people do, but it's consistently not busy. Which is weird because IMO it is better than Mickey Deez, and it's certainly cheaper, or at least has cheaper options. People want what they are used to, and they are less used to Wendy's.

I agree on it being hard to understand the inner workings of LLMs but I'm not speaking to that part here, only about improving their function in some way which might be as consequential as transformers, which did not require that level of understanding. OTOH any such development will probably require more training and more processing time to run the result, so there are multiple constraints.

He had a right to donate money anywhere he wanted and people had a right to feel any way they wanted about it and act accordingly. No one interfered with his rights. They come with responsibilities. One of those is responsibility for your actions.

Mozilla and Firefox were a joke long before he left so that's clearly not the reason.

You support "palestine"

Wrong. I oppose genocide and there's no need for quotation marks there since it clearly is one.

you're all in on Iran

I'm all in on the problems with Iran being literally caused by our doing a coup there, and creating more martyrs there not being the way to solve them.

And Israel is your #1 enemy

No, the orange child rapist is my #1 enemy. He wanted bibi to hurry his genocide up, so he's a big part of the problem there too.

You hate Christians

I hate all religion, which is all for controlling people, which Christians love to do — but they hate to walk their talk.
