Father in heaven, author of all truth,
a people once in darkness has listened to your Word
and followed your Son as he rose from the tomb.
Hear the prayer of this newborn people
and strengthen your Church to answer your call.
May we rise and come forth into the light of day
to stand in your presence until eternity dawns.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
________
May the Lord bless us, protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
1. Replace workers with AI.
2. Now instead of wages you pay a company for AI services.
3. Despite the likely decline in quality of the work, suppose you become dependent as a company on this service. Suppose you make it work.
4. AI is heavily subsidized by venture capital, its priced lower than the cost to provide the service to attract early adopters (and to lock companies like you in.)
5. Inevitably the AI bubble bursts, AI services jack up their prices.
How is paying rent better than wages?

Spoiler alert.
So during the era of Biden, there was this X report that seemed to be heavily influenced by Q slop.
And for 4 years lots of people bought the premise that Trump was stil in control. Even when he had to spend most of his time defending himself in court against baseless accusations they claimed that it was just theater.
Trump was still in control. I lost count of how many times Hillary Clinton was executed and replaced by a clone.

"I feel like Cynthia Erivo didn’t get the memo. She seems to think it’s still 2021 and the world gives a shit about rich-people problems. ‘It isn’t easy’, the Wicked star told a roomful of well-heeled LGBT activists in LA last week. She was wearing a sombre look and a Dior dress that cost more than all the clothes you’ve ever owned. I don’t need to tell you she wasn’t talking about soaring energy bills or war in Europe. No, what’s ‘not easy’ is that this obscenely rich star of stage and screen sometimes has to remind people to use they / them pronouns for ‘nonbinary’ people." #BrendanONeill #NonBinary #Leftism #Wokeism

Quotes
- Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
- Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
- Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.

- Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.

Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
- Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
- Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.

W. E. B. Du Bois: Joseph Stalin was a great man; few other men of the 20th century approach his stature. He was simple, calm and courageous. He seldom lost his poise; pondered his problems slowly, made his decisions clearly and firmly; never yielded to ostentation nor coyly refrained from holding his rightful place with dignity. He was the son of a serf but stood calmly before the great without hesitation or nerves. But also—and this was the highest proof of his greatness—he knew the common man, felt his problems, followed his fate. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

If you haven't figured it out, a Tariff is a TAX. Stop supporting Murder, Theft and Slavery. Stop being a DUMBASS
Tariffs had nothing to do with eliminating the US debt, tariff revenue was never near enough to impact on the national debt
Tariffs were not just an economic issue but a catalyst for the political and cultural divisions that ultimately fractured the nation
Tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The tariffs fueled sectional tensions by favoring Northern industries and harming the Southern economy, which relied on exports. Southern outrage led to the Nullification Crisis, deepening mistrust. While not the sole cause, tariffs were a primary long-term factor in the North-South divide, contributing to the economic and political rift that ultimately led to the Civil War.
The North’s true motive in waging the Civil War was not to abolish slavery, but to forcibly prevent the Southern states from leaving the Union and to maintain federal control over Southern markets and resources
The North’s use of war to stop secession revealed the coercive nature of the federal government. The North’s actions were about power and economic control, not justice or liberty.
Tariffs were a primary factor in the long-term buildup of sectional animosity. By consistently favoring Northern industrial interests and harming the Southern export economy, tariffs contributed to the sense of Southern victimization and the broader crisis of Union. The repeated tariff disputes-culminating in the Nullification Crisis and the Morrill Tariff-were key episodes in the chain of events that led to secession and war

William Z. Foster: Lenin and Stalin have evidenced their outstanding brilliance as mass leaders in every revolutionary requirement: in Marxian theory, political strategy, the building of mass organizations, and in the development of the mass struggle. The characteristic feature of their work is its many-sidedness. Both men of action as well as of thought, they have exemplified in their activities that coordination of theory and practice which is so indispensable to the success of the every-day struggles of the masses and the final establishment of socialism. Both have worked in the clearest realization of the twin truths that there can be no revolutionary movement without revolutionary theory, and that revolutionary theory unsupported by organized mass struggle must remain sterile. wordsmith.social/protestation/…

Bürgerrat: Demokratisches Scheinmanöver, um in Ruhe regieren zu könnenNiUS.de
Der #Bürgerrat Forum gegen #Fakes will, dass die #Bundesregierung Desinformation bekämpft und Nutzer sanktioniert. Die Teilnehmer ließen sich vom #Verfassungsschutz beraten.
Schnell mal einen Post auf Instagram oder X abzusetzen, sollte verboten werden – zumindest wenn es nach den Mitgliedern des Bürgerrats Forum gegen Fakes geht. In einer Welt, die von #Falschmeldungen und #Desinformation überschwemmt wird, braucht es nach Meinung der 139 Teilnehmer „eine angemessene #Bedenkzeit“ von zwei bis fünf Minuten. Im Anschluss soll eine Künstliche Intelligenz (#KI) den Inhalt des Postings überprüfen und auf „sensible Themen“ wie „Migration“ anspringen. Verstößt der Verfasser gegen bestimmte #Vorgaben, die noch definiert werden müssen, wird der Post nicht veröffentlicht.
Das ist eine von insgesamt 15 #Politikempfehlungen, die die Mitglieder des #Bürgerrats in einem Gutachten „zum Umgang mit Desinformation“ zusammengetragen haben. Zu den Vorschlägen gehören auch ein #Meldeportal und die #Strafverfolgung von Personen, die Desinformationen verbreiten. Nur Ideen, die sowieso nicht umgesetzt werden?

You're assuming that those executives will be around for more than a quarter, and won't have cashed out and are sipping margaritas by their Olympic-sized pool.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •management has been aggressively pushing to opex vs. capex for at least the last 30 years.. from most employees being contractors, to magic beans, it's all the same
short term gains with terrible long-term prospects. but they've learned they won't be held accountable. at worst they might have to change jobs and probably end up making more.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •Furthermore:
Tech companies who stop using traditional means and, instead, move to using LLM services have given up their ability to do work over to the LLM vendors.
Once the subsidy from VCs ends the price will go up drastically - what choice will they have but pay it? They laid off all of their workers who knew how to make things happen.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •You can use the threat of the LLM to force workers to accept worse conditions and lower pay.
It's class warfare. That's the only way it makes sense.

I am of a class of people who are born into this world where we are forced to rent ourselves out to a class of people, so we can pay rent to the same class of people.
It's kindof a hamster wheel.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •And that’s the benign side of the argument, really.
There’s a darker side, where psychopathic & narcissistic leaders can maintain companies whose mode of operation goes way beyond anything a real human would ever work for.
The elimination of moral human agency will enable actors whose cruelty will go beyond anything ever experienced by humanity so far.
Stuff of nightmares.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •AFAICT the answer to the riddle is that these execs are not thinking like rational businesspeople, however much they might speak and justify themselves in those terms.
It's about screwing people over, disempowering them, and replacing them with obedient machines that can't talk back. An LLM will never outmanoeuvre you in office politics, or threaten your bonus.

in reply to myrmepropagandist • • •in many European countries (I don't know much about the US or UK), we not only have worker rights, but also the reverse: There are laws protecting the employer against unfair retaliation from the workers. Changing to renting AI throws these rights out the window.
It boggles the mind that anyone is willing to take that risk.
Much like crypto completely does away with consumer rights and protections in the banking system.
