What laws are preventing competition in the CRM space?
I mean it depends on the context of how UBI is going to get paid for. If it is funded by a wealth tax then I am on board. But that's not how the powerful proponents of UBI say it should be funded. Andrew Yang would have us take it out of Social Security to pay for it but you don't hear him say we should uncap Social Security contributions.
Yeah, because LLMs have shown they understand language and aren't bullshitting us. /s
Like I get this might generate new leads to explore, but to say it's a virtual cell as if the model is somehow self-consistent is malpractice.
AI is maturing into what exactly?
How to alienate your daughter:
This only convinces me AI can replace venture capitalists, not that it can do any actual work.
It's not a conspiracy, it is just the path of least resistance. Which is why capitalism is the problem.
Agents without agency is some real double speak and might reflect how many view workers.

My TikTok feed is rather radical, which is a non+option on all the other corporate platforms.
People like Luigi remind me of "The Children of Kali" from the book "The Ministry for the future". The Children of Kali targeted the owners of these multinational death machines but would not accept any collateral damage. Instead they were patient. The abusers got so scared they would never leave their house, but even that would not save them. Point is, these people follow a set of laws different from the ones that dominate society. They conducted themselves according to that law and that guided their assassinations. Something to think about as our own laws become lawless.
The contradictory belief that voters who backed Trump are too stupid to understand what they voted for, but nevertheless deserve pain
This so much. The "voters are too stupid" narrative defangs any attempt to talk about how our systems misinform (or don't inform) voters.
Are there no trans billionaires to object to being erased?
I get the impression billionaires are a big reason we aren't addressing climate change. Sad that the Children of Kali are our best hope.
Seems to me there is a big difference between attacking someone's identity and claiming the earth is flat or marijuana is bad. The fact the mods don't seem to address this is concerning.
I mean there has always been illegal speech, we just don't usually call it censorship.

Is joining a union an individual action or a social circumstance?
I guess my point is that environment (social circumstance) and individual behavior is a gradient. Drawing a clear line between the two so that "individual behavior" is the largest share might actually be unhealthy framing as it takes out of focus how an individual might improve their circumstances.
Individual behavior basically includes what kind of job you're working, because that definitely impacts much of those other behaviors like sleep and quality of food.
People's political views are too diverse for there to be a moderate middle and this has been known for a while: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-moderate-middle-is-a-myth/
