Alright, so you’re a young gen z family and you buy your first home, which is all you can afford right now, you’re young and you’re starting your careers and your family.

In 10 years, property values have increased dramatically, and you’ve had a child and you’re thinking about your second. Your careers are going well, and you think we should maybe get a bigger place for our expanding family. But oh no, there’s an unsustainable housing marketing bubble that refuses to burst, so you can’t afford a bigger place anywhere near your job. So you build UP, like they do in every multi-generational home culture, you expand your living space as your family expands.

It’s not a crime or a moral failure to upgrade your home, and you shouldn’t jump at the opportunity to beat someone when they’re down just because you don’t empathize with this particular boomer homeowner.

The root cause of the problem IS the mega-corp fast food chain that sells us expensive shitty unhealthy food and pays slave wages to its labor force that it treats like annoying obstacles and constantly threatening to automate away. They take away jobs from real restaurants too, until they shut down, and all you have left is fucking McDonald’s.

Dismissing that people work there out of desperation is out of touch, but to disagree with “let fastfood restaurants go bankrupt” is where the REAL BIG brains are at.

Why can’t we just have a discussion without insults. These corporations are the problem, convincing them to pay you more until they automate you away is not a solution, the solution IS for them to be bankrupt.

I also don’t eat there, and think it’s morally outrageous to give them any profit that helps them achieve the distopian future they’re working so hard towards.

The first paragraph is a fantasy.

In this restaurant, where the chef was replaced by a salad machine, the “chef” was a human salad machine before. There was no time to play with garnish and playing, they weren’t serving Michelin star food. The term “chef” is used very liberally here, you aren’t a chef if the only thing you cook at a restaurant is assemble salad that a machine can do to the same standard.

They were assembling salads, it wasn’t a dream job.

Yes, Gemini is their “AI” brand.

Unilever is a shitty company.

This is classic language to pacify you, to make you think someone is out there speaking and a fighting on your behalf.

They’re literally attacking Medicare? Don’t worry AOC is putting the GOP in their place, she’s SLAMMING them and ripping them a new one!

Unless you own the means of production

I don’t, and your audience here don’t, so I’m not sure why you’re telling them to be afraid.

or think you’re going to miss capitalism

Not a concern, no…

What are you scared of? Are you literally Elon?

They are overlapping areas, but they are “two completely different things”. They overlap by sharing common goals, not by being interchangeable.

Anonymity to me means the message recipient can’t tell who you are.

Right. And Signal doesn’t provide that at all, it ties your private messages to your identity (phone number), it explicitly does not provide anonymity. In fact, it proudly advertises you as a signal user to other signal users that have your number saved. It allows you to post public status updates, it encourages you to save your first and last name on your account.

If a THIRD PARTY (the server operator) can ALSO tell who you are, that’s a privacy failure, not just an anonymity one.

Okay? And? In this hypothetical world where Signal offered anonymity but still tied you to your number for other practical reasons, then you’re be correct that it would be a privacy concern.

But they don’t offer anonymity, they offer private conversations.

That headline is disgusting and classic straight out of the manufacturing consent model. Most people don’t read past headlines, and the headline implies there’s a divide among Israelis, it tries to hide the fact that they are overwhelmingly and incredibly openly genocidal.

I really do think Qataris got him convinced this is how he gets what he wants, that this is a 3d chess move.

She’s very well documented. If they revoked her visa, she’s here illegally. That doesn’t say anything about the legality of revoking her visa or the ethics of it, she’s not an illegal person, but she’s here illegally. And they’ll use that against her.

There are human rights abuses and there is an entire class of people who work as live in “servants” with horrible working conditions.

Probably better than the conditions of a typical Chinese factory, and pretty analogous to immigrant manual laborers in the US.

“built on slavery and horrific abuse” is a bit of American propaganda and it’s shocking people still eat it full throated. They pay skilled foreign workers insane amounts of money.

Now go articulate to yourself what you think communism is and what you think is so scary about it, then maybe consider reading the source material.

Yes, yes, you named the benefits and convenience of a centralized system.

Federalized systems require individual federated maintenance, and that comes with some challenges, but maybe it’s not the worst thing in the world if the random videos you uploaded to youtube that never get any views eventually disappeared… Maybe the planet shouldn’t bear the burnt of indefinitely holding those videos in replicated backed up storage forever. Maybe that’s not valuable data we need for future civilizations.

What if a valuable creator dies and noone is there to run their instance? These are important things to consider and think through so we can solve them. Maybe the answer is a community driven peer node replication?

These aren’t unsolvable hurdles, they’ve been solved already.

The Haganah’s opposition to Lehi wasn’t moral, it was strategic; both were Zionist terrorist militias committed to the same settler-colonial project, and while Lehi was more openly extremist, the Haganah orchestrated and executed the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in 1948 under a more ‘respectable’ facade. Don’t whitewash terrorists.

You’re white-washing Israel’s genocidal society. They rioted in the streets and proudly protested on TV for the right to rape Palestinian prisoners.

This is genocidal mania.

The only reason they may never come back is just how good BYD alternative models are. Tesla doesn’t have the edge anymore, and it was coasting on brand loyalty and reputation.

Well, that reputation is a Seig Heil now.

When the inevitable revolution is complete, Tesla needs to be socialized! People should really start talking about this and aiming for it seriously as a an end goal.

Tesla is manufactured locally and they’ve been heavily investing in building factories while all the other car makers went out. This is one of the things Tesla did right and why Elon was well loved by liberals, before he went all out as a Nazi.

And look the last thing I want to do right now is defend Elon’s anything, and the Chinese EVs have really caught up, but Teslas are great EVs that are reliable but will be on the road and need service for decades to come.

Socialize and nationalize Tesla, it was built by the most talented American engineers and hard workers all for the profit of one Nazi and his family, let’s fix that last bit.

Socialize Tesla. Take it back from the Nazi enemy of the state, give it back to the people who built it.

Real world development isn’t creating exciting apps all the time, it’s writing the same exact boring convention based code sticking to an established pattern.

It can be really boring and unchallenging to create your millionth respiratory, or you can prompt your ide to create a new repo and with one sentence it will create stub out 10 minutes worth of tedious prep work. It makes programming fun again.

In one prompt, it can look at my finished code and stub out half decent documentation that otherwise wouldn’t have been completed at. It does hallucinate sometimes, or it completely misunderstands the code, so you have to correct a few sentences, but the brain drain of coming to with the sentence structure to write useful documentation is completely lifted, and the code is now well documented.

AI programming is more than just vibe coding, and it’s way more useful than everyone here insists it’s not.

Non of those examples are relevant.

Those examples are specific tools or specific implementation pattern, AI in development is a tool.

It doesn’t dictate how to write software or what the written code will look like, it’s a tool that speeds up your code wiring. It catches typos and silly bugs that take hours to debug, it’s able to generate useful unit tests, it can clean up and apply my code style way better than codemaid or resharper ever code, it’s taken care of so much tedious shit and made software development fun again.

Vibe coding is not the future of development. If you aren’t learning to use AI as a tool in development, you are going to be left behind.

It’s more apt to compare it to IDEs. Sure, you can still write you entire app in vim and compile it in the terminal, but you would have been very foolish to deny the future of development was in IDEs.
