The links left me more confused, not less.

Huh. TIL that Proudhon was a Marxist.

/s ← In case it wasn’t abundantly clear.

Don’t confuse anarcho-capitalism with anarchism. The former are disguised fascists. The latter are not.

Obligatory Link: Property Is Theft

Technically speaking you’d have to say they did war crimes by modern standards.

A lot of what you describe wasn’t actually criminal at the time, see. It was called “war”.

Doesn’t make it any less horrific, mind.

I think it’s more like TEH BLOKKCHAYNE. It has no viable use cases so grifters are throwing it against the wall in the hope that somewhere, someone will pick it up and give them the money they need to escape the inevitable collapse that is coming.

I hate you so much right now.

So … you’re comfortable with fascists in your bar?

Congrats! You’ve got a fascist bar!

I mean, you do you and all that shit, but you’ll find that over time all you’re going to get is fascists as normal people bail out on you.

An old saying that Dads are likely to have heard is “an elephant never forgets”. So “I have the memory of an elephant” is saying “I never forget.”

Unless you’re making a Dad joke.

In which case it means “I remember seeing an elephant once”.

It’s the usual business mindset.

Businesses never have the budget to, say, maintain their fleet of cars properly. But they have ten times the money to replace cars that broke down.

Yep.

Better greenwashing: actually do green things.

Even if AI turns out to be a hype cycle, getting a lot of clean energy could make it worth the hassle.

It won’t.

Want to get to clean energy? Get a government with the guts to tell oil companies and car companies to get fucked.

And while they’re at it they can tell the purveyors of Grand Theft Autocorrect to get fucked as well.

Perplexity is a front-end to several Grand Theft Autocorrect engines and it primes itself with searches as well, it seems, to the point of linking what it says to search results, but it seems also to have VERY narrow blinders in its processing so that you can ask for something that is flatly impossible and it will not notice it.

I asked for a holiday in Jasper. And it seems to have laser-focused on just that without any general information on Jasper so it missed information it potentially had at hand to build me a (decent, even!) suggested holiday. And the evidence that it has the information potentially at hand is just mentioning the Jasper fire suddenly changes its tune correctly.

What. A. Surprise.

Algorithms fed by content primarily created by western white men tend to produce content that reflects the biases of western white men.

No, let’s go a step farther because it doesn’t have a lot of content from, say, impoverished white men. So western white men of the middle class on up.

No, let’s go a step farther because much of that content actually comes from techies or wannabe techies. So western white men of the middle class on up with a leaning toward interests in technology.

So the technology that advises people to use glue to keep toppings on pizza should be used to pick targets in warfare?

This cannot possibly go wrong. Ever.

You seem nice.
