British Colombia

I’m imagining a world where the Spanish Colonized Canada first lol. Colombia is the Latin American country, “Columbia” is what every Anglo thing that uses his name is written.

The best explanation I saw which makes sense from the perspective of the US ruling class, is that they are very aware that they can’t sustain the empire the way they have over the past decades, and are scaling it back to consolidate what they’ve got. They aren’t all stupid/incompetent, they’re just finding ways to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.

Lmao, let them try. Every single popular social media platform and website in the west is run by US tech oligarchs, there is literally no chance that the EU somehow manages to oppose US hegemony on the US’s own channels.

Yeah, probably hoping for some clandestine EU funding now that USAID is done paying them.

I have a feeling theres a lot of EU trolls trying to influence opinion all over the internet. I’ve been seeing posts and social media that are hyping up the EU as “finally standing up for itself” and becoming a superpower for the past few weeks now.

That’s not saying much, if the NYPD was an independent army it would be one of the biggest in the world.

No worries, cool books btw.

Maybe mark NSFW?

Yeah, I’ve been wondering this as well. It makes so little sense but I’m guessing it just makes for shiny propaganda. I was never convinced by the argument that “Humanoid robots are better suited to working in environments that were built for humans”, like, WE are the ones who make these environments, wouldn’t it just make more sense to rebuild the facility to be more efficient for cheaper and more sensible machinery, rather than invest exponentially more to replace all the humans with robots?

It’s like saying “Cars were designed with humans in mind, so if we want self driving cars we need to put a humanoid robot driver in the drivers seat”.

Their player base is full of outright Nazis.

You mean the Assad regime that was part of the literal resistance Axis against Israel?

I enjoy strategy games, and yes, that includes paradox titles (if you know, you know). Hearts of Iron, Europa Universalis etc. I think they’re well designed games, apart from the recent releases, but the fanbase and some of the ideological fantasy, it’s… not great.

This seems magnitudes worse, at least with the industrial revolution, you could argue that labor wasn’t being fully eliminated, but re-distributed and re-oriented to mass production and factory work. AI is the total ELIMINATION of human labor altogether. Even with other big tech advancements like the internet, it still created work in terms of all the infrastructure that had to be built, the expertise required to maintain and improve it, as well as generally creating many jobs that could not exist without the internet.

AI is the only situation I see where it can completely remove humans from the system, even for the purpose of maintenance and upkeep, it could do that on it’s own. The infrastructure? It already exists. What do we as workers get from this? What’s left to look forward to?

Ngl this stuff is kind of terrifying. not from a “China bad” perspective, but from just how much this technology is going to change. And how fast it’s happening.

Use Librewolf, it’s Firefox without the issues

ah, I see. The chinese where I am sometimes say CBC though, but it’s likely different in Canada.
