So when people lived in the oligarch funded alternate reality. Got it.

Which time was that?

Was that when all media was owned by a few corporations and had complete control of the narrative for decades?

I am a software engineer, and trying it is exactly how I know it is not a “force multiplier.”

Outside of my personal experience—there’s also zero actual evidence it provides anywhere near the benefits it’s marketed as.

Did you miss the part about no credible evidence? Feeling like something is a certain way doesn’t make it true.

There isn’t any credible evidence out there that actually shows LLMs are a “force multiplier.” That is almost certainly just a made up marketing term for unprofitable chatbot companies.

Buckley v Valeo would like a word.

“Buckley v. Valeo is a landmark 1976 Supreme Court case that ruled limits on campaign expenditures are unconstitutional under the First Amendment, while upholding limits on contributions to candidates. The decision significantly shaped campaign finance laws in the United States.”

“Shrinkflation” is a cute branding for theft and class warfare.

They’re going all in on lowering your quality of life to contribute to AI data centers, and pretending it’s some natural market force.

Until the working class bands together and brings these fucks down

You’re surprised by Claude? Why? It’s just theft of people’s work to enrich shithead tech bros.

Robots are expensive, require frequent maintenance by specialists, and there aren’t even any robots close to humans in durability and length of years active. They also can’t problem solve anything like humans can.

Robots and drones require maintenance and operators. The so-called advantage will always be vulnerable to their ability to repair and produce them. Which diminishes greatly as they kill off the very population that does just that.

Their power is a mirage.

“Treat an AI like an idiot intern without any references you just hired.”

Instead of this, treat AI like some dude off the street who you didn’t hire and leave it out of your life. It’s shitty, it’s wasteful, and it’s subsidized by everyone to get a few tech bros rich.

Like seriously, it’s just theft of people’s work it “trained on”, powered by energy companies that charge us more to power it, at the cost of poisoning our water supplies, to ultimately try and steal our salaries one day.

It’s absolutely parasitic software at every level.

What about tapeworm? I feel like that’s more fitting

To be fair, any of the counties that attempted it had a coup enacted by fascist capitalist countries to prevent them from doing so.

That’s a big IF for the military being willing. They are a huge chunk of the budget and that would be a PR nightmare and jeopardize their generally positive public perception

When the military starts killing its own citizens it also galvanizes the population. It’s going to cause massive unrest even if they “win.”

America was formed by a revolution

The military won’t last long if they kill their entire workforce. At best they can have a stalemate, where “they” win, but no longer have anyone to build their weapons and ammo anymore.

Is there any effort at the No Kings protests to encourage people to get armed and trained to protect their communities should the need arise?

Militias and Firearms are enshrined in the constitution—it doesn’t need to be a right only thing.

First thing everyone in America can do is buy and learn how to safely use, and store a firearm. It won’t be the first line of action that should be taken, but it’s important for when they refuse to cede power and use violence against everyone.

More people need to be trained to defend themselves, and their freedoms.
