but isn’t their strategy literally how they have 90 percent of the wealth? seems a crushingly effective strategy. what do you suppose their downfall looks like? does it happen before or after ours?

basically: big tech being the frauds that they are realize what simply must be the case: that the chinese are also being fraudlent in their claims of cost/ use of banned imports, etc. a man quoted in the article says the hype or hysteria around deepseek is an indictment of so many- (and it is) but he seems to be chiding anyone who believes china or cautioning investors from panic selling their stock. meanwhile the article admits that the release is indeed a step forward, blah blah blah.

aoc shouting WORLDSTAR

i was hoping for a purified echo chamber because that’s clearly what this world needs more of.

everyone concerned about their privacy going to china-- look at how easy it is to get it from the hands of our overlord spymasters who’ve already snatched it from us.

disregard for ‘truthfulness’ and ‘not a reliable source of information’ and what has kept our textbooks or teachers from being unreliable or untruthful?

core memory unlocked… and i also used to bring around a milk gallon of water with me wherever i went… and reuse it

cop cities, surveillance, censorship, etc-- yep, it takes all kinds.

appreciate it- peeps just tryna ratio their way to victory

sorry if i seem one-sided its because of the genocide and the shitshow defacto appointment strategy from the dnc et al… there is a reason the left infights more than the right- there’s a logic to attempting to speak to the side that is ostensibly closer to your ideals. what has yelling at or about trump accomplished, btw?

i should buy a rule

no of course not… i am not a republican or a democrat.

well you’d have to read it first.

keep playing hot potato with decline, your leaders don’t represent your interests.

and its a great tragedy because i prefer to believe there’s a good will that powerful interests undermine in very sophisticated and underhanded ways. it is the game of a duopoly to split the electorate and set citizen against citizen- we see how identity politics has been revealed in so many ways as either vulnerabilities to be usurped or left as poisoned pills for folks to take up and be delegitimized by. attack dogs aren’t born that way, they’re created… and fwiw, there are a lot of people who just want to have a chance to experience this “land of the free” and all the freedoms and experiences they’re so increasingly priced out of.

of course its the people who are the problem… democrats blaming voters is pretty standard procedure.

yeah let’s talk about primaries… :D lol

is this more deepseek fallout? facebook going after linux, the government looking into the ai as a potential security threat, and now windows is quickly pushing patches?

third party =/= throwaway… did you know the republicans used to be a third party? you’re short-sighted in thinking a) anything will get better under democrats OR republicans in their current iteration and b) if i can’t have immediate change, everything i do is moot.

because the dems put out candidates somehow even less popular.
