ah but you see when "maximizing profit" and "maximizing value" sound like the
same thing to those directing the corporation (as is the case anytime they have
greedy shareholders) then "maximizing profit" doesn't have to be very efficient
at all, as long as it's extracting the most "value" for the stakeholders (which
to greedy shareholders is the same thing as profit)
and honestly, who would invest in a company that isn't eternally growing as
fast as possible? that's just bad business acumen, gotta pump those numbers up!

cops thought "enforcing the law" was their job when really it was "keeping the
peace"
and like, yeah, sure, laws define how they optimize for
but sometimes the laws are just out of reach.
(though such an impartialized system is also pretty flawed in it's own unique
ways, like for example the enforcers of the law would be able to apply their
law selectively, which... would not be great.)
downside is... how do you dissent to those who cannot hear you? you have to
break things
which is why I believe that breaking things unnecessarily is unethical.
sometimes you have to do a MORE unethical act in the pursuit of your goals,
however nefarious or not they may be, but as long as they are done in pursuit
of a greater grander truth, then... the ends justify the means? right?"

AI engineers only ask users for prompts because they don't have any ideas of
their own
i'm a programmer, I think of AI like a tool, like a for loop or something. it's
trivial to script together a local LLM that can process your stuff 1s slower
every time you click the mouse, but like... who cares, right? everybody needs a
chatbot...
then they plan to script together a computer system that operates just like a
corporation and it's like... no way, now there's something that can compete.
and they don't know how to implement it. (but they're working on it)
like, think about the absolute most automated Microsoft Teams or Discord could
be.
there's SO MUCH of your text-based information that they could process ANYTHING.
well, anything that's been performed before.
there'll still be a need for people, who actually apply the things they've
learned. and -- stack overflow --

described one-by-one (to paint a picture)

this is a terrible idea btw, if you march along the road then your enemies can
just drive up right next to your soft fleshy humanoid flanks
if you march cross-country they'll still getcha. they know more than you, and
they're better at it too.
much better I think to divide yourselves into like, 5-7 groups and drive to
where you're going sometime in the next 5-7 days according to group. ideally
not during rush hours. that way you can bring whatever you want.
then, when you're there, in a park, you can meet other neat people and talk
THEN. in a place where you don't know which places are miked - spoiler tho it's
all of them teehee, or at least you have to treat them that way if you're
talking about specifics. If you're talking about generalities it's usually
okay, but... well, you'll figure it out.
then, after 5-7 days, you can hold an impromptu pride parade, and walk past all
the houses where gay people used to live.
plans change. planning remains.
when plans change, your adaptability is test.

people only have the context of their lives, as any historical precedent that

sharing space with the endless deluge of information from a small glass,
plastic, and metal box that saps both their attention and the magnitude of
anything they learn.
"so what if the planets on fire? somehow this actor who had an affair with this
other actor feels just as important. so what if there's fascism? I just heard
that whales can't swim in the ocean. oh, the city's burning? that's not my

in the same way that some forest fae might have security through obscurity,
they wield information density against us as a weapon to hide their sins of
morality.

yeah that's why I said pretend.
okay imagine that you are sitting in a rock in a forest.
far away, about 100 feet away, there are other people, but you can't see them
because the underbrush is sooooo dense. they are also sitting on rocks.
you can speak to them, and share your thoughts - but you don't know exactly
where they're coming from because the sound has to bounce around off so many
different plants and such.
[that's not how that works] shut up
so, if you want to say anything important, it's important to have the right
tone, because people 2 or 3 clearings away can't really make out your words -
but they might hear your tone if you yell very loud.
the energy of the space you inhabit is the only thing that really matters. the
words that you say are just snickering to a friend, but the expression on your
face, the beating of the drum of your heart that reaches forth... that's what
matters most.

truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and

however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are not the kind that
accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all

it's important to scream from the rooftops:

for the children of our children
we refuse to lie down and weep
danger is coming
danger is here
pride is unbecoming
and they need us in fear.
I am not afraid
for I am never alone
I fight against decay
for there's fascism at play
not brother against brother
with sisters screaming online
but brothers against traitors
and sisters in kind.
you've heard what they say.

right where they are most harmed.

the neat thing about tech is that it scales really well.

solar panels will be next. Trust.
we should still dismantle coal and oil, obviously we should, but at a certain
point it will be inevitable. They're just too expensive for too little gain.
the neat thing about tech is that it scales in a way that is just impossible
for infrastructural projects like housing and hospitals.

glue. think like a dwarf - stone never fades.

if you speak in such a way that you can only be interrupted after visiting
like, 12 different topics, then your partner can only respond to the very last
one.
much better and engaging, I find, to speak one complete idea, to allow for
continual conversation.
ah, but then if someone shares what you said, they can ignore the context.
Hence, why the combination of multiple different ideas, to give a sorta
stabilized view of your [context, but pronounced "considerations"]
the longer your thoughts, the more comprehensive your argument, but you're
likely to reach the end of your statement and hear nothing back but a "...
yeah, true though"
that's... not ideal.
I used to post a lot on conservative subreddits because they used to listen to
what you're saying and respond logically.
If you very carefully step through the assumptions of their positions, taking
care to highlight or EMPHASIZE parts of your arguments that you're planning on
using later, you can often highlight the contradictions in their thoughts.

yeah. I worked as hard as I could at my last job, but I only lasted 11 months.
that's labor to me. Applying yourself toward something doggedly. And I did, and
then I burnt out and was paid just as much as someone who sat around and did
nothing.
but I wasn't doing it for money, so who cares right? what matters to me is that
I burnt out. I need years to rest. I think that's natural. but y'know, rent is
expensive. You need to be working 24/7 in order to be worth anything, and I was
just not cut out to do that.
I want to emphasize that I consistently did a stellar job. They gave me awards
and I fixed difficult problems quickly, efficiently, and with minimal mistakes
(none of which went undocumented). I was very good at what I was doing, and I
learned quickly.
but alas, the work was not suited to my abilities. I'm more of a software
person tbh, and by "software" I mean like... basically firmware.
nobody writes in C these days except for cutting edge stuff. /shrug

want to prolong battery life?
put a warning whenever the phone has lost 100% charge that "fully discharging
the battery can reduce long-term storage capacity!" and most people won't read
it. But those that do will tell their friends about it, when their friends
inevitably complain about bad battery life - "you know you can just... not run
out of battery, that way it doesn't break" and suddenly... wait what was I
saying - oh yeah so anyway the monarchists said to the part--riotists "yeah we
don't know how to feel about you" and they took offence at that as if the
rioter's ideas weren't justified instead of unheard.
[when I jumped to the other person's perspective I lost track because I
couldn't find my way back because they don't know me]

when people ask what I do I don't say "art" because I'd do that anyway.
my art is precious to me, because it is the most "me" I can conceive.
and like... I can carry it with me to the future.
I have only once given away one of my journals, and it was a wedding present to
a witch or two.
so yeah I'm an artist, but I'm also whatever you need me to do.
and yes, I of course hope that what you need me to do is what I can do.
because I can't do much more than this.
But I can show up every once in a while,
and maybe make you smile or consider,
and maybe I can ride past on my bike.
but that's the human in me, telling me it's time to move with my feet, and I
can do little but listen.

you can grow anything in soil.
that's the neat thing about it - it's nature's recycler
problem is... if you bury like, plastic and shit, then all that's gonna grow up
into your plants is... plastic and shit.
the structural growth mechanisms of plants are inhibited by pollution, that's
the entire issue with them. animals can adapt - like, whatever, right?
but if everything's biodegradable, then suddenly the whole world is a
trash-dump.
(that's how they think)
if you want to optimize food growth, you can supply with specific types of
growing fuel. like native americans who had like supplies of many different
types of manure.
a cow eating grass will have different nutrients in it's poop than a duck
eating carrots. duh.
so, if you combine different outputs to make new, better results...
you can pretty much bio-engineer anything you'd like.
like... feed the corn so that it's kernels are huge, right? then make that one
marry the other, and boom it's more likely grow.
[those genetics are way outdated]

those billionaires are using their money as a weapon to "vote" toward what
companies they think capitalism would most grow from. Unfortunately for us,
they often aren't very efficient because they're only looking at what sells.
human interest is not the only factor to optimize for, and yet that's the only
one they're incentivized to.
kinda makes me think that the only reason to replace them would be to institute
something that could not be incentivized because it was more objective or
decentralized.
(the only reason they'd accept)

large corporations will often error check constantly which slows down their
software to an immense degree.
every time data passes from one function to another, there's like... 15
different tests to check if it's this type or that, or in the right random seed
and it's like... wow can you not, like. design your software intelligently and
then you won't need a bunch of slow-ass if checks every time you want to update
a string???
software should be writable without fucking getters and setters. If it isn't,

display scaling accomplishes a similar goal through a different mechanism. You
might find that the visuals are sharper, however you will need to configure
every program to use this functionality (if it's present, which it's not in
most programs) - for OS level things this is usually a good option.
Changing the resolution will change the size of ALL visuals on your computer,
but they might be fuzzier (but if you're blind as a bat, why would you care
about fuzziness? It's all fuzzy!)
increasing the font size can also make it easier to read, which both of these
options are doing in a sorta round-about way.

mine is only 22" I think and it's about the same distance so now that I think
of it my poll might be flawed! I forgot to account for screen size!
You're right a proper scale is better quality-wise, but it doesn't always scale
everything y'know? plus changing the resolution is more low-tech which is my
vibe hehe

if tech CEOs wanted to solve REAL problems they'd think about things like how
every girl has a drawer or box FULL of nail polish and it really, really
doesn't need to be this way.
For example, picture a fleet of delivery drones that let you swap nail polish
with people nearby for basically zero-dollars per month.
that's just one example, but that class of problem is the problems that affect
a certain class of people that tech CEOs fundamentally do not care about - and
yes I'm referring to people who paint their nail polish themselves. AKA women,
and poor people who can't afford going to a salon every week.
problem is....... for every solution like this you design, well suddenly you
have a lot more applications for it than the consumer needs or wants. like for
example what if they delivered grenades instead of nail polish. NOT GOOD.
much better, I find, to abolish the powers that would utilize such murderbots
BEFORE inventing the murderbots : )

I have nothing but respect for the officers who do their jobs without malice.
I'm a paladin, so I am aligned against elemental evil, not against a lawful
institution.
However, those who hurt innocents, those who target the weak, the meek, the
type that don't fit in, the poor, the sick, the vulnerable, and the broken, the
foreigners and strangers, the leftists and their communicators, all of the
kinds of people who strive to make a better world for all, not just for the few
who claim superiority and dominion over others... yeah those people are my
enemy.
I do believe structures and institutions can be evil, but I have no knowledge
of what goes on inside the FBI's internal structure. So I cannot judge if it is
evil. I do however know how capitalism works, elementally, and I know that
capitalism is evil (less evil than monarchy or despotism perhaps, but still
evil)
therefore, I am leftist. I strive for better world for all, in whatever form
they desire.
