I find it deeply ironic, that iran has blocked helium supply- while it relies on AI created slopaganda to subvert its advesary. Its one of those afterwits of history.

If that bubble bursts soon, thinks may get cheaper. So as google and co start to outsource "aicosts" by pushing local models, when will that bill be due?

On a list of cthullian horrors, its one of the less uglier ones. On a scale from mere bad to "reading about it damages yourself", the "nice" is a word describing its location on that scale.

I never said its nice or justifyable. I wish there was a grown up to talk with here. I know the russian bully culture.

Stop talking down to evil people that only exist in your head.

Bullying is pack animal cohort behaviour. The selection of a "victim" by social means to be fed to the wulfes when they come, by biting said animsl. It reduces drastically when the environment provides the ilusion that there exists already someone who is "next" , be it a frail, because old teacher or a "known" underperformer. The dynamic cant be altered, but managed. From all the bugs in humanity, this one is one of the nicer ones. It can be percieved, it can be reasoned over, it can be handled by institutions (the individual in natural dynamics will not) and it is not societal loadbearing bug.

Empire is a structure that exist strangely disconnected from the country that spawned it to keep the lights at the cost of other countries.

Just imagine if the us empire and its institutions, war machine parted ways with the country and its population. It would not be as hard as one imagines, but would reveal a country that has benefitted in parts by snuggling up to the imperial maxhine, while other paets where abandoned. It would also reveal how deeply the empire structure seeped into the privat social landscape.
