The elected reps are captured by business interests. Citizens united means the best marketing team wins every election. The reps do not work for citizens, why would they? Voting has been nullified, democracy is dead.

Yep, you can see it in the way ICE operates. 10 agents jump out of several cars, they grab one helpless person and they all drive away. Like a pack of hyenas picking off a young calf.

That's alot less risky in France where the police have more than an 8th grade education, no guns, and aren't jacked up on right-wing hate propaganda 24/7. You punch a cop in the US and there's more than a 50% chance, that a given cop has been dreaming of "protecting himself" by any means necessary. In other words, you are going to get shot in the chest.

I dont think open weight models are going to be a big disrupter. At even a small scale you need a machine with 8 gpus just to run the larger models that still arent that close to SOTA. A machine like that is half a million per year. You might need a second machine for your dev environment or do fine tuning. Then you will need to hire an AI engineer who know who to tune the model. You'll probably need k8s and Dynamo expert to run infra to do the inference.

It all gets very expensive, very quickly. Sure some customers will pay this, but many, many more are just going to pay per token. It's the same model that made the hyper-scalers like AWS into giant cash cows. Only this time, tokens can be sold to both enterprises and grandma. Grandma never bought AWS, which means the market for convenient tokens is huge.

Check out the gemini:// protocal. There are browsers, search engines, and the whole thing is basically markdown.

its a cool idea, but lacks content. Discoverability is kinda bad as well. All fixable problems. I think it could take off given some good content.

Dont use the word 'elite' when describing people like this, it implies they are the best at something, which in my experience has never been the case, unless you count bullshitting and gaslighting.

im pretty sure thats the end goal. look how effective all the epstien blackmail has been. Every spy agency and tech bro are probably hatching plans to get into the blackmail business. You can control the most powerful contry in the world and you wont need a single bullet or boots on the ground. Its been outrageously successful for whoever the true puppet masters are.

Have you tried being white? The trump admin is rolling out the red carpet for white south Africans.

I'm being facetious of course. I hate what maga is doing to our wonderful melting pot.

Americans (the majority anyway) are still far too comfortable to care about any of this. Unemployment would need to be like 50% before most people even stopped to think "hey, maybe I should pay attention and vote".
