"Students boo the commencement speaker who called #Ai 'the next industrial revolution'"
She is 100% right.
What the #hoipolloi don't get is that #Ai *IS* the next industrial revolution.Just like in the past, the working class got destroyed by the #capitalists destroying their labour with machines...
... So now capitalists are destroying "the elites", the intellectuals with AiSo much for class #solidarity
But on the other hand the last industrial revolution brought us #socialism and #communism, so there is hope.

"David Einhorn wants ladies in ‘sexy party clothes’ at his hedge fund party
Billionaire David Einhorn is throwing a party in New York this weekend to celebrate Greenlight Capital’s 30th anniversary.
If you squint, the invitation looks banal. Predictable theme ('Vegas Nightclub'), less predictable location ('Brooklyn'). But then comes the fine print. The dress code, just for 'the ladies', is more exacting: 'sexy party clothes'.
Yes, that’s right, Einhorn is openly telling women they better look hot or else to celebrate his hedge fund. You might think this is the invite for some frat party, instead of a multibillion-dollar money manager. You’d be wrong.
Meanwhile men get a free pass.
(. . .)
We had a hunch the #MeToo era that smacked Wall Street in the face nearly a decade ago had already been subsumed by cobwebs, forgotten to the winds of pre-Maga times. Maybe you remember this lovely quote that went viral from main FT last year, not long after Trump took office:
"Even the way people on Wall Street talk and interact is changing. Bankers and financiers say Trump’s victory has emboldened those who chafed at 'woke doctrine' and felt they had to self-censor or change their language to avoid offending younger colleagues, women, minorities or disabled people.
'I feel liberated, said a top banker. 'We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled . . . it’s a new dawn.'”

Sadly, there are many #capitalists who would LOVE to provide housing but are prevented from doing so. If you look at things like rent control in NYC, the government has literally stepped in and made it more expensive to provide housing than to leave it vacant. I've lived in places where contractors said the cost of permitting was more than the cost of materials for some construction projects.
Want more housing? The free market wants to provide it.

[Read thread above first]
While I understand the motivation behind this -- the world actually has become more dangerous -- I think it is an extremely dangerous idea which will lead to catastrophic arms races and thus to war.
#Capitalists have been able to profiteer from war for a long time. The threat of war makes it easy to extract revenue from taxpayers. By securitising defence budgets, this proposal will incentivise arms companies to foment international conflict.

A #subsidy is undeserved merit. It's free money. We give a boatload of free money to #fake #capitalists unwilling to work for real and #arms #dealers every day. And the United States has become the number one #terrorist #organization in the world. Stand up or die ugly. #MissKitty doesn't lose.

#Capitalists: Keep grinding! Never stop going hard! There's no limit to how much profits you can reap! Never sleep.
#Degrowth people like me: Stop grinding yourself to death. Stop going hard. Start slowing down & relishing a more simple life. Invest in extra naps.

I recently binge-watched the latest season of A&E's "HOARDERS" on Netflix. Sadly, I've known six hoarders as close friends during my lifetime, and perhaps more.

@urlyman I disagree. The teenager is not driving while inebriated with evil intentions, they are simply insufficiently aware of the potential consequences.
#Capitalists, by contrast, are perfectly aware of the consequences, they just expect them to be borne by other people.

What is the most effective way to protest to Capitalists?
Take away their capital.
How?
There are many ways. Not all of those ways are legal, but they are options for those that choose them. -
“Despite all the ambiguity, #PredictionMarkets’ biggest backers—Silicon Valley venture #capitalists—remain undeterred. It used to be that the medium was the message. In #SiliconValley, the line has been updated: “The #markets are the message,” says one venture communications executive.
That gospel has set off a frenzy. “Since the election, so many people have started building prediction markets,” says Arad, an #investor based in Portugal. Some of these people are founders whose “products didn’t catch on, and so they pivoted to #prediction. It’s like dozens and dozens and dozens. Like, really. A lot. And it’s still happening.” Arad, too, has caught the bug: Earlier this year he left his job as a #VentureCapitalist to start his own prediction market called Lightcone Labs.
According to #prototypes I’ve seen and conversations I’ve had with dozens of traders and #founders, the future of these #markets looks something like this: Every news story will come with a Trade button beside it.”

(6/6) #Capitalism runs like a computer (and it's being hacked)
Markets under capitalism are an open system whose norms and protocols can be hijacked to create permanent structural advantages. Very similar to #exploits #vulnerabilities in #cybersecurity.
Because #capitalists institutions determine what can be bought and sold in market capitalism they are often targets of hijacking.

@donaldegray @Heliograph it is heartbreaking how #capitalists suck all life out of anything they can get their smeary hands on 😒

Why do #Democrats always say to the workers on the #left "stay peaceful or they'll get even more violent," & not, instead, say to the #capitalists on the #right "don't get violent or else the workers will strike & riot"? It's a rhetorical question. If your a Dem pushing passivity, meditate on it.

I always thought that #JRRTolkien's #Smaug was a metaphor for the #IndustrialAge and #WealthHoarding. It seems I'm not alone! #Tolkien was actually an #environmentalist and possibly a #socialist (though he describes himself as an #anarchist). Does that mean #LOTR will be banned by #Fascistic #Capitalists? Hmmmm...
#Dragonomics: Smaug and #ClimateChange
Posted on February 22, 2019 by Richard Fahey
Excerpt: "Today, we talk about dragons. I refer specifically to the greedy, northern (often fire-breathing) variety as described in Beowulf and featured in Tolkien’s #Hobbit, and I will consider how these monsters present #EnvironmentalCatastrophe as a direct result of #hoarding and #greed.
"My discussion of dragons and climate change continues my recent series of blogs interested in placing medieval literature (and in this case also modern medievalism) in conversation with current crises. This blog develops an earlier argument made in a paper at a 'Tolkien in Vermont' conference (2014), titled 'Dragonomics: Smaug and #Pollution on Middle-Earth,' in which I argue that pollution in Tolkien’s Hobbit is linked to both the literal destruction by the dragon, and the rampant greed that motivates Smaug and ultimately initiates the plunder and violence at the Battle of Five Armies."
