Exactly

And they might even have lots of cheap labor from people that are starving

Watch them do it in Israel

Not totally

They are trying to go back

I don’t think that’s entirely true

Everyday society chooses to save a persons life and not another’s

Not explicitly but not so indirectly either

I think a billion id take because you can save thousands and thousands of people

I could live with that choice. Maybe in the end I’d feel so guilty that I wouldn’t even use the money for myself at all.

Which is an interesting debate as well. How does your answer change if you can’t use that money for you or known people at all, and only “for good”. Do you feel less guilty?

As another commenter said it’s just a different version of the trolley problem

Are you seriously comparing software engineers to members of a state sponsored terrorist police?

Because they’re working class like you and me?

He’s not saying that you shouldn’t unionize

He’s just saying that while it’s good, it’s not really a revolution so ideally you shouldn’t stop there

PS3 was on one the best consoles ever released tho

Maybe the library was meh (I didn’t really notice it) but from a hw it was peak. It was famously sold at a loss based on how much power it had

Pretty crazy to write that the third that didn’t vote, did so because of Israel lol

I know what you mean. The names are similar but they mean vastly different things

Nordic counties are social democracies (which is what you explained) not socialist

They still operate within the boundaries of capitalism with a free market except with a strong welfare state. The means of production aren’t l owned by the workers.

You mean social democracy instead of democratic socialism

They’ll kill old Reddit eventually

And then the site will effectively die

I wouldn’t mind if they did it soon tbf. That way I would find other ways to pass the time at work

Probably not no

Can you explain that look last bit to someone who isn’t aware of it?

They most definitely have not

And the fact that you and I have the freedom to write that is proof of it

You can’t reform away from capitalism and even if you could, in order if you reform away the exploitative and unsustainable nature of capitalism then you end up with something that is completely opposed to capitalism.

Capital runs our world, and so capitalists aren’t going to let you take away their power. You’re asking the king that has both the gun and the bullet to please so very nicely give you both of them so that you can use it for good. But they depend on that gun and bullet for power. So you must take it by force as it will not be handed to you.

Tbf as much as I hate capitalism and as much as I am in favor of eating the rich (wink wink) the problem with AI is not that it exists or is being developed. AI like any automation is an incredible technological advancement. And any sort of automation is only a problem in a capitalist society

Imagine being pissed at the inventor of the tractor (I know Sam Altman didn’t invent nor is actively developing AI. Many engineers and researchers are). Now less people need to do back breaking work for growing food. That’s incredible! We only lose jobs because the profits from automation are being funneled to a very small set of people

The world sees what they are doing but is the world really doing anything against Israel??

Because it doesn’t seem like it
