Comment Re:It's called Capitalism (Score 1) 49

Capitalism is about the Free Market (Free as in choice) not ruling.

False. Free Market is only one kind of Capitalism. Further, there has never actually been a free market of any significant size. It's an ideal which can only be approached, and ironically, it requires regulation to do so.

"I think I'm deeply uncomfortable with these decisions being made by a few companies, by a few people," Amodei told Anderson Cooper in a "60 Minutes" episode that aired Sunday. "Like who elected you and Sam Altman?" asked Anderson. "No one. Honestly, no one," Amodei replied.

When you get control of the money, you get control of the means of production. That's literally what capitalism is for.

It's just how they organize it. You wouldn't say NASA is a military organization because its funding is authorized by congress that also authorizes military spending, or because the president is also the Commander in Chief.

No, I'd say NASA is a military organization because it exists first and foremost to support our military. Anyone who believes differently has proven their vulnerability to gaslighting. Our spaceflight projects all have direct military applications.

Microsoft keeps claiming they're changing and then I keep seeing new ads for functionality I don't want to use pop up to distract me while I'm trying to work, and yes this is a locked down work environment where an effort has been made to turn all of that shit off. But you fire up Teams after some trivial update and it wants to tell you how you could use AI in it, no I am literally never going to do that on purpose. If Microsoft has changed it's only that they're adding more gaslighting.

This has nothing to do with billionaires. You can decide right now to stop buying plastics, stop replacing your phone every year, give up your car and move to a city center, and stop supporting businesses that are oil based.

I don't want to stop buying plastics. I want to have the option to buy actually recycled plastics that actually get recycled. We can do this but we don't. We don't because the people with all the money who therefore control the means of production decide that we don't. "We" is a stretchy word. So is "you" and so's "can". Sure, you can choose to opt out of society, but it would make more sense to make society not shit all over everything.

NHTSA and NASA investigated not just the software but the actual cases.

NHTSA and NASA didn't study all of the code in the PCM. Their analysis is therefore invalid. Barr Group found a significant number of paths to unintended acceleration, zero of which depended on cosmic rays and also that Toyota not only didn't follow industry best practices, they didn't follow their own internal procedures. And you think China, which hasn't ever made the best software for anything, is immune to the same kinds of errors. You literally stated that there was no other way that it could happen, which is an obvious falsehood. It's unclear why you're engaging in this level of gaslighting.
