If we don't separate fascism and populist oversimplification from issues and attempt to bridge both sides then the cycle will just repeat.

As evidenced by the fact that Trump achieved basically nothing and has plunged us into the worst case scenario on behalf of Israel and probably Russia - and yet the proposed solutions in Europe are: AfD, FN, Reform - all Zionist and Russian cucks who don't have an answer but know how to point at problems.

I see a few politicians like Bernie _genuinely_ attempt to talk to the other side, _genuinely_ admit that yes some mass migration is used for wage suppression and thats bad. We frame all our political issues in ways that do not engage the other side (both sides guilty of this) and then we wonder why populists sweep.

Yes I think it will just be a race to the bottom, however there are several distinct classes of work immune to the concept of AI:

1. Where the market will pay for the privilege or 'quality' of a human (you pay more for a nurse, nanny, server etc., its a status symbol)

2. Where human accountability is required by law, even if that human is just following the recommendations of AI (C-suite, human-in-the-loop safety monitoring)

3. Where personal ownership exists, AI can only serve your small business it cannot own anything

I'm aware of the incentives, but the premise must remain crystal clear:

OF the people, BY the people, FOR the people, OR death to the tyrants.

We cannot afford to fuck around this time, this tech will enable a power dynamic beyond all previous estimation. Stalin, Hitler, the Stasi - their systems were as sophisticated as piece of chalk compared to this potential for universal cross-referenced real-time surveillance backed up by an army of super-soldiers that would murder their own children without hesitation if they had any.

Then we riot and burn it to the ground.

The value proposition is extremely simple:

1. Clankers do almost everything for us as ethical slaves

2. Everything costs next to nothing, from raw materials to finished products, and much of it can be done at home, sustainably and even better than we have it today

3. Society transitions towards utopia, basic needs met for all, away from hand-to-mouth, and we spend our time on friends, family, community and personal enrichment

The alternative is a dystopia beyond Orwellian.

People need to get this idea into their heads: our governments work for us and with almost infinite cheap robot labour and national resources the focus should be on society and not enriching some fucking crooks.

Its literally us or them, literally a fight for our lives

This is great, I fully approve of open weight models stealing as much from the big players as humanly possible. This is already the greatest intellectual property theft in the history of mankind and I think it's totally fitting that the capitalists who sold the rope to hang us are now bitching about China copying their homework.

AI needs to be cheap and abundant, we need to be building utopia for all and resisting the potential for the worst authoritarian totalitarian dystopia imaginable.

I have zero respect for Anthropic and OpenAI, they are quite literally burning books and attempting a land grab, any and all methods are now justified in my view

Thank you for being the only one to notice my craft.

Yeah it's absolutely insane and unacceptable, the UK has built up a very strong safety culture and we're not interested in retards coming here with zero thought and messing it up.

I do think its always the drivers responsibility to assume theres something around a blind bend and set speed accordingly but we cant let this become the new normal.

It seems this isn't just MCP but a plugin into the Google ecosystem that allows side-by-side edit conversation with realtime changes similar to Gemini / Google AI Pro.

What I don't understand is, why would Google allow such direct competition to their own AI subscription? Looking forward to a community/open version of this tho it sounds like it needs something hosted to work.

I'm so glad someone else couldn't focus I thought I was losing my mind here.

4chan is ironically one of the few social platforms with no algorithm and where people can actually genuinely debate.

Reddit is complete trash, nobody can say anything that goes against the authoritarian mods on any subreddit, regardless of if those are good or bad rules, it's just an echo chamber. Twitter is hyperreal at this point, it's impossible to spend more than 3 minutes without being angry at the world.

4chan is so full of fake news, CIA/FSB/Mossad shills and doctored screenshots that it forces you to be skeptical, its not for the masses but I've seen genuine nuggets of gold on there. It's one of the few actual communities, where people actually "get" each other, which is ironic I suppose.

There is no "problem" with 4chan, it has existed for years, it is free speech, and no US administration should be expected to bow to anyone on it.

The problem is platforms that millions do use and have no ability to counter Russian, Mossad and other foreign influence. The problem is that we are all complete cucks to Israel and they've done everything in their power to ensure the likes of Tik Tok will never be able to teach children about their genocide or dragging us into their forever wars. The problem is private equity and corporate dystopia and our cretinous politicians.

He's not stupid tho, I've read some of his stuff and while I never agreed with Brexit I think he always proposed that there should be 2 referendums to validate the actual method of Brexit. He has a very fair point about the civil service.

His problem is he doesn't understand politics, and like Musk he's wasted his time getting involved with the worst people instead of focusing on what he's good at.

Whats really weird is I'm in the UK and use PIA VPN on Community Fibre and for some reason 4chan only loads outside of the VPN.

This government really can go and fuck themselves, as can all our other useless and cretinous political parties. They've achieved nothing, at great cost, and at the expense of a million other issues.

All of our social media has been manipulated by the likes of Russia and Mossad for over a decade now. Our democracies are compromised, everyone is poorer and angrier, and they have sat here and done nothing but go after some fringe website and make people take selfies to wank.

You can't tell people to sacrifice, when people above them are getting away with robbery. You can't sell society on a negative vision for the future and any metric that becomes a target ceases to be a good metric.

We need a positive vision and I don't see anything more positive than automation and the insane unlocks that it can provide. We have the potential to eliminate commuting, turn manufacturing on its head and turn ourselves from this mindless corporate rat race into something genuinely better for everyone.

The bottom line is all environmental initiatives must be human-first benefits for anyone to take them seriously. Solar for example can make your energy independent and cheaper, that should be the focus on selling it - the emissions are just a bonus. Automated cars mean a 2 car household can live with 1 car (or less), and it will come and pick them up, and they can be drunk or fall asleep in it, and they're still comfortable, thats a win before even considering the vastly improved traffic efficiency and throughput on the same roads and reclaiming of carparks as grass.

Because they are arrogant as fuck, barge their way in, shove everyone else out of the way and genuinely believe they are gods chosen people. Are you surprised that a country that regularly spits on Christians and turns cities into concentration camps while running the world's biggest pedo blackmail ring, "right to return for pedos" offer, exploding pagers and spyware operations - happens to be the best?
