- Comment on Native Americans? 2 weeks ago:
That’s common culture/knowledge. But I don’t know, seems like rubbish to me. If English colonization has different methods, what can you say about Trinidad & Tobago? And the English Guyana? Let’s not go to Africa and Asia. It doesn’t seem to be their “modus operandi” to me.
I don’t think there is some big extermination plan for America and Australia. I think there’s just something different to those places, but that requires more study. Not of the common knowledge kind. Why would you want some kind of extermination colonization strategy for Australia? It’s weird. It’s more of a “counter-study”, but I believe there are people fighting the good fight out there. I’ll put it on my list and research it.

That’s good. It’s similar to Brazil in the sense of recognizing and preserving tribal cultures. That’s important, but it doesn’t extend to all native people. There are movements here advocating for the recognition of the urban indigenous—people who live in the cities but aren’t officially recognized as having native ancestry.
Even more, it’s increasingly expected that there were big cities in the Amazon, featuring complex trade routes. However, this topic still needs to be studied more profoundly for various reasons.
It all depends on History, specifically how groups like the Aztecs in Mexico and the Inca in Peru dealt with the Spanish. Their elites were often made kings (or viceroys) in the early post-colonization period. That makes a significant difference in the subsequent social structure.

Not children. People of any age. They’re dark skinned, sometimes slightly dark skinned. They look like japanese, sometimes they don’t. Sometimes they’re hispanic without a spanish surname. They’re not told they’re hispanic, they’re just marked as hispanic by the demographics. They don’t need to be told what they are for people to oppress them.
That’s how it works: you mark someone as something and don’t give a shit about what they think about it. Sometimes, the person just thinks: “This is how I look like, and this is what my family looks like, so I’m correct and don’t know anything about this heritage thing.”.
They don’t need to be told anything, that’s how it works.

I think the french are more pasty? Any child of a frenchman had lots of rights. That’s how Haiti got to rebel, no?

Guess I’ll just pull the Terry A. Davis here and say it’s God.
- Comment on What options of resistance are programmers creating to not submit to AI culture? 1 month ago:
I mean, agentic AIs are getting good at outputting working code. Thousands of lines per minute; talking trash of it won’t work.
However, I agree that losing the human element of writing code is losing a very important element of programming. So, I believe there should exist a strong resistance against this. Don’t feel pressured to answer if you think your plans shouldn’t be revealed, but it would be nice to know if someone is preparing a great resistance out there.

The progress of OpenAI since february has been pathetic. The other major AI LLMs have surpassed it a lot. I want to see how they will justify the investment.

Looks so good. I hope it’s ready soon. TES Arena has a really good endless exploration idea, where you can wander and find new things to do, it’s its best point in my opinion.

Imagine using Meta money at your local store or convenience store. It doesn’t stop there, you need a Facebook account to “login” into your wallet.

This would fit “A Boring Dystopia” well. I think protecting data isn’t the way to go. The effects of it can already be seen:
All the burocracy for common people, no burocracy at all for Big Tech. No IP, no robots.txt. They are trusted and can do whatever they like, starting on your phone. It honestly looks like another form of aristocracy.

- Comment on The Endgame of Edgelord Eschatology - Truthdig 7 months ago:
I don’t think being afraid of it is the right way to go. But that is really convenient for Big Tech isn’t it? At least as of now, being online (or a digital being) means you only see what Google or the LLMs want you too. There is a complete detachment of local culture to give in to this global vision, but as envisioned by Big Tech.
I’ve searched for local newspapers using Google Maps localization, which is far from perfect, just to see if my local culture is still there. If people actually live like they lived 10-15 years ago. And they’re the same. It’s just that, as incredible as it may seem, the local physical culture of the city is getting superseded by digital realities. The people are the same, but they’re more or less invisible now.
It’s crazy the way things are going, but I think the response should be technological also and not avoiding knowledge or the effort necessary for it.

- Comment on Bubble Trouble - An AI bubble threatens Silicon Valley, and all of us. 7 months ago:
I can ask AI things and then check if it is correct somewhere else. It’s very good at guiding you towards knowing things. Sometimes it will avoid giving information, but it is always useful at answering things. It’s like someone you can bother without having to resort to forums or other boards. It advanced my knowledge a lot. I already read a lot, but you can’t ask a book to clarify things.

The dangerous thing about Quantum Computing is that it can keep usable computers out of consumer reach, making it necessary to use the Internet for anything.
But seeing quantum physics applied to the real world with concrete results is also pretty cool.

I think it’s funny you call people dense when in fact they see the difference with their own eyes. Like a small business owner is making less money and people try to convince him that it has nothing to do with the elected government. I don’t think Fubar is the dense one here at all.
