To clarify when u say "AI" do u mean llms and diffusion models cuz if u mean ai as a whole then u are simply wrong ai is hugely useful, has been around for decades, and is widely used in basically everything u can imagine. If by ai u specifically mean llms and diffusion models, then let me clarify that yes these models do in fact exists and let me further clarify that "AI" is just a term these models are in no way "intelligent" just in case thats what u mean by "exists", and yeah many of their purported uses are scams tho some are not, the REAL use of llms and diffusion models from the perspective of capitalist is to fire a bunch of people because "ai can do their jobs now" and then hire them right back at a much lower salary to do the same job but as prompt engineers, just like they did with translators back when google translate became viable(which is also ai btw).
ima be real with u i didnt even know there was a snowpircer tv show i thought this was about the movie, i thought it looked a bit weird but it has been a while since i saw the movie so i thought i was just forgetting things.
Also yeah For All Mankind completely fucking lost its mind after a while, i also had to stop watching it half way thru, for me it was the show trying to make me give a shit about the veteran guy's struggle with the fact that he almost faced consequences for being a murderer in Korea, and talking about gulags it drove me nuts that they had russian guy tell an african american woman about how bad gulags are, years after the gulag system had already been abolished, just pure projection and delusion.
To play devils advocate and because i like this guys films... there is a reason the gulag system was abolished, some of them were pretty fucking bad. And also gulag has a common meaning which is beyond the reality of what they actually were, it would be careless to use it this way as a leftist but a reasonable mistake.
I mean most people have pretty boring lives, at least withing the context of making a story out of them. Tell u the truth if im experiencing a story set in a medieval fantasy world im not really all that interested in the life of some random farmer, not unless they are about to become world shaping important.
Also how do u feel about a character starting out in a low socioeconomic position and then becoming a noble or the like.
Also also i think this is more of u thing or maybe its less of a thing for me, cuz i just looked thru the last 20 or so fiction books/book series i read and most of them have either lower/middle class mcs or a literal fantasy monster as mc so idk it may not be as uncommon as u perceive.
Literally why would they, like actually why would they? would anyone care, would it change anything at all about the way the west talks about them would, it change anything about the way its own citizens think. No, so why would they lie why would they go out of their way to make a problem harder to solve by not acknowledging it.
The DPRK is a normal country like any other why would u expect them specifically to lie about a random statistic, i mean i know why because ur brain is full of nonsensical propaganda about the it but actually think for just a second in ur life, why the fuck would anyone bother to lie about this.
