They literally do, you’ve never even looked at the steps or a similar program have you
- Comment on True or false: "Reading and studying socialist theory is the cure to AI psychosis." 5 days ago:
Well, if we’re estranged from the products of our own labor, as Marx argues, then we are estranged from the products of everyone else’s. Including intellectual labor. It has become increasingly difficult for the majority of the population to maintain good literacy rates, for instance. When youre alienated from everything you see and consume, it’s not easy to feel attached to the systems which got you here, leading to radicalism, for good or ill.
Why would I want AI to regurgitate the ideas that already exist? I can just read them. I want power over my life, my work, my government. Are any of these Silicon Valley tools going to give that to me? Unlikely.

I think so, yeah. But I think a lot of things are.
- Comment on True or false: "Reading and studying socialist theory is the cure to AI psychosis." 1 week ago:
Understanding Marx’s ideas about alienation certainly influences my attitudes about AI but if youve got actual psychosis no ideology is a direct cure, you just need therapy

They still need to grow the fuck up. They sound like a millennial based on when anime went mainstream in which case, my god, get a therapist already.
Imagine still being salty over people being mean to you 20 years ago. Fuck

- Comment on Is there any way I can study Marxist theory in a way that wouldn't seem too boring or dry? 4 weeks ago:
I don’t know what to do about that
Ive met tons of anarchists who had a firm grasp of anti-capitalism
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 4 weeks ago:
If youre super green (no experience at all) they wont expect much. You wont need much for the first year other than being able to show up, listen to directions, and not hurt yourself or others.
A framing crew will expect you to have basic hand tools more than a general construction company would. One is teaching you a trade and the other just wants a laborer.
Being a good helper gets you started toward something better. A lead, a contractor, whatever. I work for myself now, and that is very achievable for anyone.

Also just get into anarchism instead. Anarchists are always sexy.
- Comment on Is there any way I can study Marxist theory in a way that wouldn't seem too boring or dry? 4 weeks ago:
You can… read Marx? Or find a podcast about him?
It’s economics, “boring” or “dry” kinda comes with the package
- Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail? 4 weeks ago:
Depends on the trade but tape measure and pencil+sharpie is standard. Framers will need hammer and speed square, electrician will need strippers, lineman pliers, etc.
Most stuff will be provided by whoever youre working with but you’ll be expected to invest in your tools periodically. If you have to borrow something twice, you should pick it up.
Also, good protective shoes. Im a big fan of my Keens.

Get on as a construction helper. Zero experience required, just show up on time with some basic tools every day.

Accurate, although there are exceptions. Betrayer + First Heretic come to mind, those were fun.
- Comment on A research scientist at Anthropic has been using LLMs to black hat software and he's spooked 1 month ago:
This guy who’s job expertise is cyber security and LLMs is very very worried. The models are improving exponentially and finding very advanced vulnerabilities now. This is a serious problem.
- Comment on Is it wrong of me not giving a shit when cops get killed? They signed up for the job know what it entails. Same with Firepeople. I feel bad 4 families but no one gives a shit about Nurses or DRs? 1 month ago:
I give a shit about nurses and doctors and firefighters. We need them. I want them to be taken care of and compensated well.
All cops are bastards though.
