- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
we need something else than just democracy, or at least something that would also protect the integrity of democracy from corruption. If we had something like that and it would function reliably well people who want change would at least have something to rally behind instead of just wanting change into “something” that isnt ever really specified and thus wont ever gain any traction.
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
maybe something that has semi hierarchy, that can be dismantled on a whim if needed? Have the best from both worlds. Like, anarchy + democrady -> voting system, but politican can be removed at any time by anyone, meaning that they have to actually do good job to keep representing people. Cant even try pleasing everyone and do nothing as that wont help either. Abusers get dealt with in same way as abusers get dealt with in regular anarchy. Though all this relys on humans being even semi rational and decent, which kind of makes it utopistic idea. But it would still work likely better than current only rich get to rule system.

would anarchy work better in addition to some other system that does not rely on hierarchy?
- Comment on Owlcat is using generative AI for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, but the final game will be "100% human made" 1 week ago:
if you generate graphics, story and stuff with llm and make them more pretty through human labour, you still have llm generated crud. Generated story acted by humans is still same as fully generated one. using generated slop as placeholders might be fine, but it most likely still influences what they actually make so still no.
if you are just starting something and have no idea about anything and no mental image about what is what at all, THEN using generated stuff might be okay as an example so you can get the idea what is going on, as long as you stop using anything generated as soon as you can.
llm and any datacenters involved with it need to go up in flames.
- Comment on Why don;t more presidents put stuff to a national referendum like Clinton did a couple times? A person would get time off work to vote, show what americans actually want and so on. 1 week ago:
why would they? america is basically under foreign occupation, that is how much your government cares about the people.
- Comment on If you're sexually frustrated & can never find a mate & decide to live a life of "nofap," what are the effects that buildup of sexual frustration has? 1 week ago:
desperate/suffering people are easier to control, i assume that is the main reason for this kind of stuff in religion especially since it has no basis in the original message.
- Comment on Capcom says it 'will not implement assets generated by AI into our game content,' but still plans to use AI to 'enhance efficiency and boost productivity' in game development 1 week ago:
and likely also ai generated plotlines and other stuff, just maybe tidied up by humans.
I’m almost certain that crimson desert did something like that. Even though the game looks very good and has good content, everything just feels so… uninspired. The quests too you do to random people, like there was some smith that has broken his hammer and cant use it. When you turn in the wood for the hammer, he basically just goes “I can use my hammer again” and that is that. Pretty good looking game and completely without a soul.

- Comment on I am an American. I used to be proud of my country. Now it feels like a turd circling the drain. Is there anything going on behind the scene that America is actually doing good in? 2 weeks ago:
i’d say only americans that have cause to be proud of themselves are the ones who are actively opposing what is happening to your country.

such useful articles they make
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 2 weeks ago:
if usa was a democracy and people had any power, maybe…? might as well try oust putin out of power, maybe the response is still less violent than it would be in russia, but you’ll have as much success. Though with enough people demanding something, change happens or steps toward change start to happen, but way america is you need really thorough rebuilding of your entire political system for things to get better.
But as quick patch one thing that comes to my mind is abandoning both sides of your oneparty system and starting a third pary, but that is just temporary because eventually it will be either taken down or corrupted, but it might give you at least something without having to resort to more violent measures.

see it as it is; full of shitty people with maybe some decent ones sprinkled here and there, owned by even shittier people.
Develop some contempt towards corporations in general -> it goes long way to help resist their bullshit.
- Comment on Haha yes society is great 3 weeks ago:
Expectation to spend money sidelines all the people who cant afford it. Its not nice to sit somewhere and watch everyone else buying stuff and knowing you yourself cant.
Third spaces = freedom to come and go and stay as you please.
Try going to some cafe and never buy anything at all, but spend entire day there. See how it goes for you.

key word being pretend. They will say pretty words and maybe even “donate” to some tax evasion charity, but they will be quite contently sipping expensive wine in their expensive homes while others lose theirs.

- Comment on ‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI 3 weeks ago:
the thing is, these ‘grifters’ have insane pull on our society, even across borders. That this is even happening is result of bigger problem that should be addressed. corporations should be SEVERELY limited in their power across the globe and results of not doing so is evident all around. I think way things are going, it will either lead to things getting even worse by forcing llm to everything or there will at some point be severe backlash which likely restricts llms badly and deprives us of their positive impacts too. Or the worse case scenario is llm usage increases and things get slightly less worse, but corporations gain even bigger grip on our throats via them.
- Comment on ‘I wish I could push ChatGPT off a cliff’: professors scramble to save critical thinking in an age of AI 3 weeks ago:
i think people who worked on llms either thought their work would geniunely make world better, or they are “just following orders” people.

- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 5 weeks ago:
when you are aware of the things company is doing and still continue buying from them. Though if the company has monopoly and you are dependent of the product, then its a bit different.
- Comment on EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko 5 weeks ago:
yeah, a bit too extreme take from me. I’m just so annoyed about people who apathetically keep supporting things that make our world worse or that are produced from suffering of others.
