I have called out the #ableism of the pure ubermensh before.
To protestations "It's not!!!"

#Ai has many problems, but like any technology, it has many benefits.
One of which, and it will become more apparent as time passed, is #assistedliving

In my lived experience, my cognitive power are fading.
I am getting dumber. I know this.
In 20 years time, if I live that long, I will struggle to make a coherent sentence.
I've seen my future in my oldies.
AI allows me to create work that I was not able to create since my 30s-40s.
And it is creative work, because you guide the machine as you guide a lathe or a chisel.

I can no longer pull a 3 day long crunch session fueled by coffee and ambition.
I can no longer master a new framework or tool, because it takes me a very long time and is very hard.

The young(er) Butlerian jihadists lack empathy and world experience.
Not everyone is driving a cognitive Maseratti.
Some of us are driving mopeds (or face other challenges as OP does)

"Thou shal not use AI, and if you do, that makes you an evil broligarch fanboi",
Is an ableist, unemphatic, elitist take, that is more telling on them, than it is on you.

Especially in the days of #openweight and #sovereign models.

No doubt that will make the EU waaay less suspicious :mastorofl::mastorofl::mastorofl:

Could it be that dividing the world into armed "sovereign" states with vast arsenals is not the best way to organise global society?

"What kind of meat is that?"
"Goat, Saintess," the vendor said. "Both in chunks and ground."
The goat looked on reproachfully.
"I'll take one of each," she said, glaring at the goat.
"The same," the Hero said.
The vendor handed them the skewers and said, "That will be four pons."
"How many in miners?" asked the Hero.
"Miners!? Hmm. That will be twelve miners."
"Hmm. I only have ten. Can I give you a #sovereign?"
The vendor looked pained. "I don't have that much change." (2/3) #wss366

@therealitynetwork GOOD POSTS...
BUT a few flaws about Governments:

- Governments exist to #war on their people (profit / over-power them) and sometimes to over-power others in other countries by providing them free #tech etc. #USPol

- Never think Governments are going #save people or do things with the logic you assume towards #liberty / #sovereign tech etc (unless it's #money and #power in that #logic and sense).

The next good revolution is not with Governments but individuals together.

Google and Bing power most ‘sovereign’ search engines in Europe and they collect the rent.

#MissKitty2028 for the end of #Homelessness. Not quite status update time yet. Let me put the end of homelessness in perspective for you.
If you elect me President and I only do one thing and that is to create a #Sovereign #Housing #Endowment to end homelessness forever ...

Dependence on Big Tech means complex privacy policies with complex legal language you can’t read.

Independence is a sovereign choice.

It's why the first search engine in the world with no tracking still has a straightforward privacy policy.

The will of the people may be slower, but it is far more sure. A #Sovereign #Housing #Endowment is for everybody. I have proven it financially not just morally. Only the greedy can disagree. So financially sound. Stability is the number one thing the state must deliver.

#MissKittyPolitics
I am so stinking irritated. All the #Wealth taxes in the world aren't going to solve a thing. Why #MissKitty? Not specifically earmarked for a deliverable. Money not assigned goes missing. A #Sovereign #Housing #Endowment on the other hand does not since it has a deliverable. 🔦🔦🔦

If I was going to make it perfect & publish it, I would rerun it. The #Sovereign #Housing #Endowment can pull 6% & research keeps reverting to 4% unless I tell it exactly what to do. This gives you the idea.

"If the #WabanakiTribes were #sovereign, they would need to be consulted on every land-use decision that might impact their territory. Potential harms to human health, water and air quality, or plants and animals would be grounds for blocking commercial activity. The influential #MaineForestProductsCouncil lobbies for #timberland owners, #logging companies, and #mills, including Maine’s largest landowner, the Canada-based #JDIrving company, which controls 1.25 million acres in the state. It has also been one of the most forceful opponents of #TribalSovereignty, arguing that any additional regulatory hurdles would stifle economic activity in the #MaineWoods."
