The sheer panic at the top levels of EU and NATO must be incredible right now. Their whole political strategy hinged on Biden staying in power, and now it’s becoming increasingly clear that Biden is a walking corpse.

The root problem is capitalism though, if it wasn’t AI it would be some other idiotic scheme like cryptocurrency that would be wasting energy instead. The problem is with the system as opposed to technology.

Nah, human ideology is much broader than a single economic system. The fact that people who live under capitalism can’t understand this just shows the power of indoctrination.

What you’re saying is that you’re not self aware enough to realize that you have an ideology. Everyone has a world view that they develop to understand how the world works, and every world view necessarily represents a simplification of reality. Forming abstractions is how our minds deal with complexity.

Observations may be objective, but the values are always subjective. Two different people can look at the same set of facts and come to entirely different conclusions of what constitutes desirable actions based on their world view.

@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

You entirely missed the point of what I said. Two different people can agree on an objective fact that a table is a table, but disagree on whether it’s a good looking table.

Sure, technology is a product of the culture and it in turn influences how the culture develops, there’s a dialectical relationship there.

Because as I explained in my original comment, if it’s not AI it’s going to be some other bullshit.

The reality is that real world is far too complex to be understood with perfect accuracy. Therefore, everyone necessarily makes assumptions and simplifications leading them to see different options as being more harmful. What you’re describing is frankly an infantile understanding of how empirical observation works.

You’ve just explained your simplistic ideology in this thread, and you’re not even capable of understanding why its simplistic when it’s explained to you.

yogthos ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

I’ve explained to you what an ideology is repeatedly, you seem incapable of understanding what you’re being told. The human brain is not capable of holding the entire complexity of the material reality, and therefore it must rely on abstractions and simplifications to do reasoning. You, just like everyone else, have biases and make simplifications leading you to understand things in the specific way that you do. This signifies your particular ideology.

There are plenty of cases where people try to use empirical evidence with best intentions resulting in great harm being done as a result. Having good intentions is not an ideology, it’s an aspiration. The world view that guides your actions that you put into practice to try to achieve the goals that you believe to be desirable are what your actual ideology is.

that’s an ideology of itself

Exactly, at the end of the day it’s about using the right tool for the job. Code that’s clear and declarative is easier to maintain, so it makes sense to default to it, but nothing stops you from using low level constructs if you really need to.

Right, what we call low level is really just an emulation layer that’s actually at odds with how the actual hardware works. Interestingly enough, it seems like functional style provides a programming model that can be optimized better because it doesn’t rely on global shared state.

The west solved that problem by effectively doing capital controls for Russia. Now that Russia has been decoupled from SWIFT, moving money out is pretty hard.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

There are always ways to try and get money out of a country, but the west made it as difficult as possible to do so. And the result has been that money is indeed staying in Russia which resulted in a big increase in business activity as IMF now openly admits.

The article doesn’t say anything of the sort.

Heather Rolfe, director of research at British Future, said that, despite their high level of education, many HK migrants were likely to be unemployed or working in jobs below their skill level. They are filling gaps in sectors, including retail and wholesale, information technology, education and hospitality, she said.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

There is zero basis for your assertion that majority of immigrants weren’t able to find jobs their skills aren’t transferable. This affects certain professions to be sure, however plenty of people like software developers have skills that are very much transferable. Drivers are able to find jobs because those are the kinds of low paying jobs immigrants get, not because their other skills weren’t useful. And yes it very much does boil down to opportunities available, which in UK are slim to none even for people born there.

If you’re going to claim that lack of transferable skills was the core issue, then do provide a source to support your assertion.

yogthos OP ,
@yogthos@lemmy.ml avatar

Again, what you say is true for some professions, however you have not demonstrated that this is the primary reason for people not being able to find jobs. The fact that people born in UK are struggling to find jobs seems to indicate that the problem is not limited to immigrants.

yogthos OP ,

It’s true that it is often more difficult for immigrants to find good opportunities, even when they have high qualification in their home country. And the reason for why people wouldn’t want to admit that they bet on the wrong horse is pretty obvious. Imagine selling out your home country and thinking that the westerners are superior, then finding out that none of it is true. It’s a pretty embarrassing thing to admit. Saving face is particularly important in Asian cultures en.wikipedia.org/…/Face_(sociological_concept)

This is very cool. If we actually find life on another planet in our own system that would strongly imply that life is common in the universe. To find definitive proof that life here is not unique would one of the biggest discoveries I think of.
