There’s two types of fediverse basically.
Reddit knockoff
Twitter knockoff
Sometimes a #2 can post to a #1, they stand out because they always tag people and us hashtags in comments, when they manage to create a post, they never seem aware and get very very belligerent when people try to explain what they did that created a post.
If you want to engage with them on their level, you need an account on a twitter knockoff.
Fuck Joe Biden
Fuck the elder abusers still doing a Weekend at Bernie’s with his old racist corpse to grift for a library.
From a different comment in this thread:
The big country always wants to make it look plausible they’d lose to justify the budget, and every other country wants to do well out of genuine pride or propaganda that their military is strong and not to be fucked with.
Why are you taking trump and kegsworth word?
They’re fear mongering
An Aegis missle can knock it down tho…
They cost 4.7 mil a pop, which isn’t much to the US military. And don’t even need launched by the carrier, it’d be launched by ships between the middle and the carrier.
Apparently China claims they have hypersonic rockets made out of concrete for the low low price of 99k each, but that’s not exactly believable. Especially since they’re claiming 99k and not 100k. I mean, even that they’re using “round” US dollars.
That’s pretty common propaganda to claim something is cheaper and more widely available than it really is. It’s why we split our uranium into two bombs in WW2. Because a country might use all of it at once as a bluff. But only idiot would make just two and then use them both days apart. It made it look like we could have a bunch. Not enough to keep up the pace, but how many? 5, 12?
It was more psychological warfare than anything. So is China claiming these are so cheap and mass producible when if that was true we’d see the same cost savings in commercial spaces.
No other country would be able to compete
These war games are bullshit and the US and other powerful countries intentionally tie one hand behind our backs as a reason to increase the defense budget.
Like, US subs will have a bunch of people literally banging on the inside of the hull so enemy radar picks them up and “destroys” them too.
The big country always wants to make it look plausible they’d lose to justify the budget, and every other country wants to do well out of genuine pride or propaganda that their military is strong and not to be fucked with.
At the end of the day no country can counter our nuclear powered subs with nuclear interballistic missiles. Sinking a carrier would be responded to like attacking a US city, it’s just not a risk China would take.
Eh, a carrier is a whole nother thing.
One carrier with a flight detail would be in the top ten most powerful Air Force’s on the planet, and we’ve got like 7 of them?
And that’s not counting all the support in a carrier group.
There are certain types of drone attacks that might have some effect on a carrier, but it would take an insane amount of preparation and be inconceivably expensive.
At most theyd have 1-2 attempts, it would be the modern equivalent of the WW2 nukes if someone could sink a modern US carrier, even in a surprise attack to start a war.
It’s amazing how money tends to attract and concentrate the worst of humanity.
No, this is what wealth does to the vast majority of people. Because never being satisfied is a near universal human trait.
We prevent it, by preventing wealth/power imbalances to this extreme level.
If we don’t understand why a terrible thing keeps happy, well never stop experiencing it.
Seems like a good time for some Bob Vylan honestly…
Fuck that, let’s go dig up Maggie
Let’s go dig up Maggie’s grave and ask her where that milk went
Down to storm those Downing doors, run inside and **** them
Eat the rich, eat the rich before they turn and eat your children
England’s ending, death’s still pending, burn those fucking buildings
Yeah…
But you know how people are already comparing vibe coding to 40k where “priests” pray to computers and hope if they do the exact same thing they’ll get the same result they want?
If we start walking down this road of even the chat or not understanding why what it did was better…
Serious unintended consequences are going to be inevitable.
Like, I swear nobody knows the paperclip story anymore.
Instrumental convergence posits that an intelligent agent with seemingly harmless but unbounded goals can act in surprisingly harmful ways. For example, a sufficiently intelligent program with the sole, unconstrained goal of solving a complex mathematics problem like the Riemann hypothesis could attempt to turn the Earth (and in principle other celestial bodies) into additional computing infrastructure to succeed in its calculations.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_convergence
I mean, we can make a very very solid argument that much of our current problems are caused by high level stock trading being done by algorithms who’s only instruction is “make numbers go up”.
This shit aint even hypothetical anymore, it’s just instead of “make as many paperclips” we told it “make more money than you did yesterday”.
Which is why we’re burning down the planet to make billionaires even more money
The important part, is Britian bitched out on their threat…
The wealthy and powerful make empty threats constantly, because if/when it works, it’s a free victory.
We can’t negotiate with the wealthy, which should be obvious by 2025 to anyone that can remember the past twenty years.
Itamar Ben-Gvir became Israel’s security minister.
Fun fact:
In the days leading up to the attack, that guy was spending his time giving interviews about how spitting on Christians is a harmless tradition that needed to be protected rather than discouraged
He was such an extremist at 18, that he was banned from joining the IDF even though they force people to join.
And that’s not even getting into his connections to assassinations and car bombing…
Fucking stupid to do this shit while trump is still in power…
Wait till their gone, then when you co trol the material, you can do an actual investigation.
Edit:
Pretty wild people think we should get the people who edited the Epstein files to audit the Epstein files to see if they’d been edited…
Because, and this should be obvious, if they find any evidence, they’ll destroy it
Wait till they’re out of power, and there’s the possibility of accountability, then look for the evidence.
If they look now, we’ll never find anything they find.

Labeled bots that just post content?
There was/is some but I blocked them long ago.
Bots pretending to be humans in the comment section?
Nothing believable, it works on reddit because most posts are reposts so the bots just recreate the old comment chain. It looks like an authentic human conversation because it was. But even on reddit I doubt there are many bots who can respond logically and not just recycle whatever got up voted last time. Because the boys are also up voting each other and reinforcing it
That’s “dead internet” once the bots are more active and outweigh humans on the algorithm, it doesn’t matter what people like, just who paid the most for bots.
Then the internet becomes a giant waste of electricity that people just stop using.
The only thing that could have stopped Mamdani, is trump endorsing Mamdani…
We’re going to keep seeing it play out, Trump’s endorsement when he’s not on the ballot has always been negligible at best, often detrimental.
trumpers don’t vote unless they can also vote for trump. And the reliable Republican voters don’t like maga candidates.
It’s why I hope red state redistricting goes thru, they’ll overshoot what’s plausible and end excavating the coming progressive wave.
this sounds like
OP forgot to start out with “dear penthouse”
It’s obviously fake
They do get paid well…
For example, Lutnick claimed that technician jobs are promising gigs with a low barrier to entry, that can pay anywhere between $70,000 to $90,000 at the onset—no college degree required.
The issue is the quantity of these jobs, not the quality.
And once you’re in, you’re in…
And not in a good way, you’ll get used to that 70k lifestyle in a year or two, but if you lose your job for any reason, there’s insane competition for the few spots you’re qualified for. And anything outside of this, you’ll never make that match.
They’ll pay a little more to a very small amount of employees if it creates a captive and trained workforce.
So, you’re right that “corporations are bad” you just don’t under the long game and the corporations do.
Great post OP…
This post was rejected for the following reason(s):
This is an automated rejection. No LLM generated, heavily assisted/co-written, or otherwise reliant work. An LLM-detection service flagged your post as >50% likely to be written by an LLM. We’ve been having a wave of LLM written or co-written work that doesn’t meet our quality standards. LessWrong has fairly specific standards, and your first LessWrong post is sort of like the application to a college. It should be optimized for demonstrating that you can think clearly without AI assistance.
So, we reject all LLM generated posts from new users. We also reject work that falls into some categories that are difficult to evaluate that typically turn out to not make much sense, which LLMs frequently steer people toward.*
What are you even on about?
You legitimately think wealthy people can never move cities because they have to personally be there to overseas the buildings they own? And that all wealthy people own a bunch of buildings, but only in the city (not just state) they live in?
Like, there is just so much that seems to need to be explained here…
If I said there was two types of fruit, would you there’s more than two species of fruit?
