  This is moronic and entirely divorced from the facts. Look at key players in the Chinese LLM space like Deepseek: it’s a tiny team of less than 200 people, building models that rival US tech firms with thousands. They make breakthroughs by pushing research first and intensive planning, rather than brute force. These are immensely innovative and creative teams with a great approach to R&D and engineering above all else

  \> new yanis varoufakis analysis just dropped \> look inside \> rebrand of left analysis that has existed for a century but with misunderstandings and some crank shit sprinkled in Seriously though this is fascism, a modern tech flavor but fascism nonetheless. Just as his “technofeudalism” claims were just describing imperialism and neoliberal monopoly capitalism but with his own branding.

  Yes, their class interests push them into class solidarity and coordinated actions to suppress the working class. It doesn’t have to be a conscious individual alignment for it to be class warfare, all that matters is they do align themselves and collectively wield their power for their shared goals, which the capitalists do.

  I agree with the logic you present for why the capitalist class wants policies like this, but the specific timing does come from coordinated efforts here. It’s class warfare and they have intense organization amongst themselves. The charge is being led by big tech firms and their lobbying groups making a unified push right now to consolidate their control over online speech, communication, and surveillance. But the reasoning you present is absolutely sound

  As a mathematician, it should be noted that the mathematics of physics aren’t laws of the universe, they are models of the laws of the universe. They’re useful for understanding and predicting, but are purely descriptive, not prescriptive. And as they say, all models are wrong, but some are useful

  Gross. I didn’t sign up for the draft until I went to university, it was mandatory for admissions. But no matter what you can always burn your draft card and refuse to fight
