  • Four Union Strategies to Fight on A.I.

    Jump

  • Not sure what kind of humans you know, but nobody likes for a stranger to get there, push their political opinions, call it science, say it's for their good, and imply you know fuckshit in the process. It's fine for edgy debates on the internet, but it doesn't fly to build relationships in the real world. Especially if on the other side there's somebody saying "You're fine as you are, come with me, I will make you rich."

  • For the same reason we don't use tractors in union organizing, we also don't use AI.

  • because your coworkers are more likely not leftist and talking about ideological points doesn't bring them on your side. The workplace is not an internet leftist theory chat.

  • software, beyond Excel, doesn't really help with unionizing in any meaningful way. Why would you think of applying AI would do something?

  • That's contradictory with the direct experience of most workers, where AI is something forced upon them by managers and that creates more problem than it solves. The minority using agentic AI is also probably harder to organize, so better relate to the majority that is discontent than the minority that is vibe-coding.

  • The Red Herring Has Fangs - Digital sovereignty as nationalist camouflage

    Jump

  • yeah, and now they understood it's an existential threat and they are moving away. Real money is pouring to switch as fast as possible. Not saying it's good or done properly or serving the people of Europe, but the politicians have finally began to freak out about this stuff, also because it's a lot of money to be made.

  • You just discovered Marxists' way of writing. If they concerned themselves with specific contexts rather than general rules, we would have Communism by now. Instead we have a lot of analysis.

    Jokes aside, I think this article should be framed as a response to the recent European discourse (and piles of money) about ditching US infrastructure, which is generating several articles like this one.

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t categorize pantheism under monotheism.

    I would. Monotheism is any belief that prescribes the existence of a single God and its worship. I don't want to argue on semantics, but what else could Pantheism be if not monotheistic?

  • Who would have thunk the solution is more hierarchy!?!?!

    Jump

  • Pantheism is monotheistic and non-hierarchical. Hierarchy, by definition, implies the existence of more than one thing, and any monistic theology is non-hierarchical.

  • Hierarchy sells because it gives you a place that belongs to you, even when it's a shitty place. Having a place does wonder for depression, because it creates meaning.

    Creating meaning without hierarchy is possible, though much harder.

    When they sell you what I assume is the Christian God (not all Gods are hierarchical), they sell you an easy solution. Burgers make you full if you're hungry, even if they are not good for other parameters. But if a friend is starving and all you have is a burger, you offer a burger.

  • quitting doesn't halt the baby-grinding machine. Big tech can only be stopped from the inside. I even know some people getting hired there exclusively to cause trouble. You should respect their commitment rather than anything else.

    Is “objectivity” something that exists before observation, or something that stabilizes through it?

    Jump

  • since botting is so easy, probably they used a lot of accounts to access data that, in theory, is somewhat public. I mean, in an ideal world in which engineers have infinite time sure, they would have noticed, but I do investigations on platform apps for work and trust me, they miss a lot of more fundamental stuff.

    Jump

  • ah no yeah, I agree, you can only experience the reflection. The Real punches you in the face but you don't feel the punch, you just wake up on the floor without recollection of what happened.

    Jump

  • There is a Real beyond our perceived reality, which is independent from observation, but doesn't seep through the observation. Anything that reaches the conscious mind stops being objective. The Real is experienced only when our reality is shattered by an intervention of the Real. In scientific terms, the internal consistence of an epistemology doesn't bring you close to the truth, but it just makes itself more resistant to the Real. Eventually the whole paradigm is shattered by something that cannot be encompassed in the epistemology and you can assume what was left outside is the Real intervening. Once the epistemology is consolidated, the bounds of what you can know are already set and are not objective, but depending on the epistemology itself, which is always partial.

  • spotify has a whole economy of bots signing up, uploading fake songs listened by other bots and earning lot of money in the process. I know several people living out of this. A little army of scraper bots is definitely not what they should be the most concerned about.

  • Do you have any ideas on how to attract people from centralized platforms to such as lemmy?

    Jump

  • don't attract individuals, attract entire groups of people. The idea of moving humans one by one when all of their friends are on centralized platforms will only attract lonely people, who won't be able to promote the platform. The growth will eventually halt.

    Move entire communities that are already connected: specific identities, followers of famous people (which should be onboard with the plan), specific subreddits and so on.
