@eemaanishere @DavidAstinWalsh @DavidKlion Here's a fun game. Why do people on an island like Ireland use the word 'colony' at all, do you think? Why do Germans call one of their main cities "Köln", do you think?

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@eemaanishere @DavidAstinWalsh @DavidKlion I'm sorry. Are you under the impression that Germany, Italy, and Ireland are not sites of imperial colonization?

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh @eemaanishere @DavidKlion Also, is the implicit model of 'decolonization' here just, like, good old fashioned ethnonationalism?? 'stay with your own kind' type shit? Having a hard time seeing how it's not, but I suppose it's not their job to educate us or some shit.

@dioscuri I work at a large public university and the bureaucracy and security requirements make it take ages to roll out any enterprise instances we can use. We still don't have Claude Code. And this is WITH an IT division that is powerful and highly motivated to integrate AI lol

@ScipioAfr1canus @phl43 (PPP corrects for cost of living, before you go there...)

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@ScipioAfr1canus @phl43 The US's GDP PPP per capita is about seven times as high as India's: $93k versus $13k. Try again.

@FusionistBlog @PhilWMagness You understand it's incredibly easy to *start* a firm right? I can do it in a weekend.

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@NoraNH2 @Reuters Yes it does

@hypocrates98 @memilies @RynQuestionMark That's a matter of personal opinion

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@phl43 I'm still sometimes taken aback at how just blatantly corrupt the USG is now.

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@storylinefever Hell yeah 👍

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh Or economics. Others are saying analytics or data science but those are not rigorous. They are just technically flashy.

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh It would be an accounting program!

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh Blessedly I don't really know what he's about! But thanks!

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh So, like.... Who are exemplars of this? I don't have even a vague grip on this.

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@melnickjeffrey1 1) stop gaslighting people
2) is a "chimera hammer" a carpenter's hammer?

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh Is there a 2.0 already?

[dasBrat @das_brat]

@DavidAstinWalsh Was that woke 1.0? I think I'm lost as to the version numbers lol. I would have thought the "PC culture" of the 90s would be 1.0.
