yeah its also created some of the biggest problems

all wars, all genocides ect, that's pretty bad stuff

its the future, but it won't overtake the rest for a very long time

musk wanted the govt to spend less, trump wanted it to spend more

yeah I didn't think of that

I dont think it changes my pov, but it def does for other people on a large scale

you could say the same message in different parts of the same thread, and by chance one will accumulate more downvotes and one will accumulate more upvotes

for example: https://sh.itjust.works/post/39444493/18993947 and https://sh.itjust.works/post/39444493/18993522 say the same thing, but one has 42 updates and 8 downvotes and one has 120 downvotes to 23 upvotes

people need to stop looking at these numbers

probably some way to extert real power, like if it controlled a vast sum of money

and it would need to have a bunch of really complex economic models and tons of computing power

no simple answer to this, I like the question btw

what if it was made of helium though

that stuff doesn't burn

Honestly thought there were gonna be downvotes on this one

same but I still wanted to say it. ngl I kinda believe a lot of people base their opinion of what someone is saying just off the upvote/downvotes ratio without thinking about it as much as they could, so the upvotes on this one may have been caused by the first few people seeing it agreeing with it

by making sure they cant spend their money on stuff their not supposed to, like buying politicians

then work harder against corruption

doesn't need to be

go get money out of politics

remove citizens united and all that

I'm okay if billionaires exist, but their political and economic power should be somehow kept in check

downvotes are from tankies

All code paid for by taxpayer dollars should be open source, available for comment, for feedback, for people to build on and for people in other agencies to replicate.

as long as its not military stuff, I don't want to be able to download a simulator for nuclear bombs or something on my PC

thats actually great!

of course you shouldn't why tf would you even consider this

way too risky

musk

There was a time when SpaceX and Tesla seemed like they were gonna change the world for the better, less co2, going to Mars and he even gave a few talks at astronomy events where he spoke about how carbon capture on Mars could be used to make rocket fuel (which is real and has been done btw) and bring starship rockets back, and how that same tech could be used on earth to help fight global warming. The future was gonna be amazing and I honestly believed he was gonna help make it happen

there's a real reason marvel had him in iron man 2

ai companies should be in favor of expanding the fediverse because we dont have the resources to fight legal wars against them taking our posts and comments and training their stuff on it

just a random thought

I think a problem is that different people have different meanings attached to the word capitalism

when some people hear it they think of trillionares exploiting homeless people, but when I hear it I think of private property and markets and competition

Im chill with the 2ed meaning, as long as it doesnt get out of control (like nowadays)

I use arch btw too, but I'm thinking about trying nixOS

idk if I should
