Because selective enforcement of the law alone is massively powerful.

They also have complete control of the towns they inhabit including the police and judiciary to shield them from state efforts to stop them

Wish that was us

You won’t take care of it.

GOOD POST and sensical take that goes beyond the knee-jerk reactions.

These type of posts go over like a lead balloon here because people don’t want to accept the material reality of what’s happening with this tech, but it’s undoubtedly a stroke of luck for all of us that ghoulish companies like openai don’t have any special sauce here. Open source models have consistently been able to keep up or at least get really close to the frontier model performance from companies that spend billions only to see their efforts replicated by these abaolute Chads from China.

Best of luck to you. I can tell you’re destined to do great things.

Your knee jerk reaction to what I’m saying strikes me as why the left in the west is an utter failure in every way. If you don’t think small business owners have certain advantages in western society, then I don’t know what to tell you. Hell, they don’t even pay taxes half the time because the whole system was set up to benefit them.

If you know of a better way to legally move people out of harm’s way, then let’s hear it. Abusing immigration systems is a tactic the left is not going to be serious enough to utilize if we remain stuck in this “bedtimes are oppressive” mindset. My whole thing is not that I’m striving to be a capitalist, it’s using the tools of the bourgeois state and bending them to our advantage.

I’m writing this for the benefit of someone else who might be reading it because this is clearly not going to be a productive discussion.

For one thing, imagine police responding to an incident at a known leftist coop vs just a regular old pillar of the community main street shop. How are they going to act? Or imagine how much more sway your voice has at city council meeting as a successful small business. Business owners are practically part of the capitalist priesthood, so you’re negating one of the biggest advantages for not a lot of gain. There are lots of other reasons, for example I think a day will come when we can use legitimate looking businesses to help people immigrate to countries that are better suited to withstand climate change, ostensibly for the purposes of labour.

A big reason why they degrade and de-radicalize imo is that they’re often started and operated by (trying not to be sectarian) consensus obsessed folks. While consensus is great, a more democratic centralist approach is probably best for the sake of efficiency. Basically coops are efficient because they’re horizontally organized and don’t need a heavy management layer, but then that’s negated by having to hash out every single decision ad nauseam.

Yea, I would recommend against doing this in the US. It’s uncommon, which makes it harder, more expensive, and legally challenging, etc. It also paints a target on your back if conditions deteriorate.

Just form an LLC and make it a co-op via an operating agreement. The government doesn’t need to know why you pay people the amounts that you do or how you arrive at decisions. Keep it like a black box that looks like every other business from the outside.

50% is the number yeah? I wish yall took “no investigation no right to speak” more seriously.

Yeah you’re right! What use is having the entirety of medical knowledge in every language REGURGITATED at you in a context aware fashion to someone who can’t afford a doctor? After all it’s not cognition in the same way that I do it.

How many shitty doctors getting nudged towards a better outcome for real people does this tech need to demonstrate to offset the OCEAN BOILING costs of this tech do you think?

then I guess it’s a good thing that in addition to producing humorous output when prompted with problems it’s ill suited to solve, it can also pass graduate level examinations and diagnose disease better than a doctor.

This fuckgin stupid quantum computer can’t even solve math problems my classical von Neumann architecture computer can solve! Hahahah, this PROVES computers will never be smart. Only I am smart! The computer doesn’t even possess a fraction of my knowledge of anime!!
