The richest 3 people have more money than the poorest 4 billion.

But the problem (according to those richest people) is the poor people.

Compelling essay by sci-fi writer Ted Chiang on why LLMs are nowhere near consciousness, but why it serves the interests of LLM companies to constantly suggest that they might be.

I've pulled one quote below, but the whole article is worth reading.

“AI is not going anywhere” is a PR line from a gen AI company press release that’s trying to make their bad broken technology seem inevitable. It’s bullshit. Please stop repeating it.

Having Baerbock, who as German FM justified bombing civilian sites in Gaza, deliver this message is quite something

@clashreport Aah yes, Germany's historic responsibility to either commit genocide itself or to be complicit in its commission.

One fact of Karl Marx's writings that is always missed is that he predicted that Capitalism would always descend into Fascism and that the Bourgeoisie (Middle Class) would be consumed by the Rich (Billionaires).

Which is exactly what is happening.

Just so everyone is clear, the gripe here is that China is destroying the profits of the western bourgeoisie, because they are forced to make their products cheaper to compete with Chinese competitors.

This is the central argument of 100% of all western economic analysis of China. The more affordable China's products, the more it destroys their monopolies and their profit margins.

As always, the purpose of such propagandists, as well as their "elected" governments, is to make the interests of the bourgeoisie appear like the national interests of their respective countries. It's the first rule of bourgeois economics: What's good for the bourgeoisie is good for the proletariat.

A la izquierda, una escena de la película "Zona de Interés", que recrea cómo vivía una familia nazi al lado del campo de concentración de Auschwitz.

A la derecha, colonos sionistas viviendo al lado del campo de concentración palestino en Belén, en el apartheid de "Israel".

When people say "I'd do anything for my child," everyone praises them, but when a parent risks crossing a border to save their child from war, poverty, or danger, suddenly they're treated like criminals.

Hollanda'da polis hamile bir kadını yere savurdu! Eşi bunu yapan polise karşılık verince de diğer polisler onu etkisiz hâle getirmek için müdahale etti. Muhtemelen kadının kocası devreye girmese kadına çok daha kötü bir şey yapabilirlerdi. Kocası Gazzeliymiş ve kadın bu olaydan beş gün sonra erken doğum ile bir kız çocuğu dünyaya getirmiş. Adamı kesin hapse göndermişlerdir. İnanılmaz bir olay. Avrupa, "Türkiye'deki demokrasiye" kafayı takacağına ilk önce bu görüntüleri izah etsin!

She was Lynched. Her name is Juliana Nzita, she went missing and found Lynched at a White church. Sixteen years old, she had a future ahead of her, she was kind and honest, and White people decided that because of her skin color, she didn't deserve life. Stop White supremacists!
