Meh getting them elected is one thing can they overcome the institutions and the bureaucracy stuffed with corrupt friends and former politicians that’s completely different.

If they win congress and the senate every bill will be vetoed anyway and they won’t have the votes to override the veto. It will be two years of paralysis.

Wait so Microsoft gutted their AI Division and Microsoft looks like it did as well from the list of "departments" that are in the approved buyout list. Does this mean they are just going to be resellers of the big models companies going forward?

Hah not always. I worked at a bank where they offered this and I applied and I was denied and told I was essential.

It's reality and I do not make a difference if the activist is from the left or right of political spectrum. I don't play on either of your teams.

No because I'm not captured ideologically. You can run open source models (which are ever improving) and there is no moat for AI neither in software or hardware. Look at yourself in the mirror and tell me it's not the pot calling the kettle black.

Colonialism is so overused as a term it's pointless. By this logic China is doing Electric car colonialism and Bangladesh apparel colonialism.

I'm a person who believes an activist has already decided the conclusion and just finds whatever facts they need to fit their narrative. They also use BS terms like AI colonialism and other nonsensical meaningless words to manipulate people emotionally.

So yes I think this is claptrap of the first order that exists so people can pretend it's of any value to reaffirm their echo chamber.

I saw "AI colonialism", looked at her LinkedIn and yeah she is an activist so all objectivity is out the door.

Is this new party cohesive enough or will it split into infighting?

That game was terrible but still better than Tongue Of The Fatman from a couople of years before https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLq5eDsiPOs which was truly horrible. I had a friend who had a 3DO with Samurai Shodown at the same time as One Must Fall 2097 and I was so envious.

I don't know if someone is able to "enjoy" their work in general that is on top of a pyramide of people who probably don't enjoy their job.

I mean is this not most of human existence through history though? A very small part of the world has the luxury of enjoying their job.

And island big enough to sustain itself preferable not with with winters as you will need energy (panels), food and barrier.

A collapsed society in a place like Northern Europe would be terrible as it relies on a lot of complex technology to keep the modern lifestyle going. None of the Scandinavian countries are self sufficient in food.

I don't think it will work at all.

I'm not sure Sweden is where I would try to hide out if the world was ending.
