@Catvalente The #TechBros and #FossilFuels #Oligarchy systematic ploy of using failing educational systems - especially in the emotional range category - are just as effective of branching out risk through shareholders, in #Capitalism #greed.
Sure, emergency measures of making Behavioral Science core education, along with removing the abusers from power, would make a measurable difference. But what's the probability of that happening, in the face of cascading root infrastructure collapsing around the globe?

"Better lower wages so those uppity labourers don't buy our luxury items and to keep prices high!"

@gnoll110 @vandenberglegs @ajsadauskas By the way, it's very curious to me that Dominic Perrottet, the former Premier of NSW, hasn't been called to ICAC.
If for no other reason, than to explain exactly how much he was aware of his brothers' alleged dealings.
Was he genuinely unaware that his brothers were allegedly doing deals with the likes of Jean Nassif? Including by attempting to get rid of the Police Minister and the Building Commissioner?

RE: https://agilodon.social/@thirstybear/117160754824870656
What makes me afraid is the sentences that HUMANS write on this subject
They always remove the words #Billionaires / #CEO / #stakeholder / #market
And they talk about #LLM and #AI as sentient entities having an agenda & goals
It is really like someone is mocking at me and my understanding

#Honduras: "A new player has entered the fray regarding the concession for the exploration and potential exploitation of hydrocarbons in the maritime zone of La Moskitia: the U.S. multinational Talos Energy, which is seeking an 80% stake in the oil concession as the project operator alongside the British firm CaribX (UK), which would hold the remaining 20%.
Among the shareholders of Talos Energy Inc. is Mexican businessman Carlos Slim, who holds 24% of the common stock.
The Honduran Black Fraternal Organization (Ofraneh) stated on Wednesday that the companies awarded the concession contract have continued oil exploration in the Honduran Moskitia without conducting a Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation (FPIC) with the local population.

White Christmas 🎄
================I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
just like the ones Christ used to know,
two millennia ago, in Judea,
where the reindeer played in the snow.I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
let's go chop down some pine trees,
light 'em up bright, with electricity,
to please our long dead deity,
while the world heats up, three degrees.I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
because the season is fantastic,
to buy gifts made of plastic,
to fill landfills, and the sea.
Let's all go on a shopping spree!I'm dreaming of a white Christmas,
with all the third world girls and boys,
who wish for treats & toys,
and are told, that shit ain't free,
so don't milk our sentimentality.I'm screaming about a white Christmas,
because it should be plain to see,
it's just a feelgood fantasy,
to push consumption, and white supremacy.May your electric bills be high.
And may all your friends be white.#Earth #Environment #Ecology #ClimateChange

Everybody talks about alignment but nobody says aligned with what. Different people have different goals, different senses of right and wrong, fairness, justice...
The people deciding what is aligned are the ultra rich who see nothing wrong with profiting from the work of everyone else without paying them a cent while evading taxes as a cherry on top.
Do you really think what they consider aligned is gonna be good for you?

Not saying that it would be impossible to trigger such a disaster with weapons, but AFAIK this one was caused by melting ice. And the same happened before. And it was predicted that such a flood is going to happen in one place or another. Role of climate change here is that it makes disasters more likely to happen, it makes them stronger.The amount of heat added to Earth due to greenhouse gases is immense and the most noticeable effects, such as what happened this time, are part of it.
The rate at which Greenhouse Gases accumulate in the atmosphere is extremely high, that is on top of the current GHG concentration which is already crazy. That all means the planet is warming very fast and it’ll keep warming a lot because Climate Change takes time. It’s not like if we stop emissions tomorrow, climate will go back to normal immediately.
Even if we beat the best predictions in the fight against climate change, it will take time for conditions to stop worsening. This is the situation we’re in unfortunately, and what I am talking about is extremely optimistic.
So we should educate ourselves and start actually fighting climate change instead of pretending to do so. And that would mean fighting capitalism, not surprisingly.

Ed Zitron highlights how the guys at he top of capitalism are willing to throw trillions at the Ai boondoggle, but draw the line at actually helping working people.
"Everyone seems so obsessed with sinking billions of dollars into the theoretical chance that machine learning might be able to replace human beings, and that more money makes it “smarter” and “better” at tasks, but the idea of unionization, healthcare as a right, investing in the education, and actual talents of the workers would be communism."

Predatory, last stage #capitalism is upon us. Surveillance, profiling, tracking and now “dynamic pricing” are the tools corps use to direct and control our purchasing behavior. There’s even an academic discipline called “behavioral economics” that underlies modern business practices. As consumers, we are at the point of lowest influence, having little recourse against the power of corporate giants dominating entire sectors and squeezing out all competition. This is why younger generations are embracing democratic socialism. Capitalism has let them down, crushed their dreams, and is destroying the planet. #Economy #DSA

Andrewism (@andrewism): *The Biggest Theft In History*
"What is property—and why did Proudhon call it theft?
This video takes a look at some of the history and philosophy of property, from Roman law and slavery to enclosure, colonialism, capitalism, and intellectual property. I unpack Proudhon's claims that "PROPERTY IS THEFT!" and "PROPERTY IS IMPOSSIBLE!", distinguish property from possession, and ask what an anarchist alternative might look like."

For no reason, some of the lyrics to 9to5 by the late, great #DollyParton:
9 to 5, yeah
They got you where they want you
There's a better life
And you think about it, don't you?
It's a rich man's game
No matter what they call it
And you spend your life
Puttin' money in his wallet9 to 5, whoa
What a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by
It's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind
And they never give you credit
It's enough to drive you crazy

A friend's in-law just bought some magnetic underpants. He saw on Facebook that the product would help with his prostate problems, so he bought them on Temu.
The guy was never a dummy, but he's getting old while glued to his phone.
I don't know if the health disinformation business is the most vile of them all, there are many competitors for that crown, but I'd sure like to burn it to the ground.

The Clippy benchmark server was a ruse to generate a dependency from the Rust project, and then paywall the profiles under a subscription model.
