7·1 day agoIt’s worse. We’ve gotten some hard earned concessions from the ruling class, especially from labour organizing resurgence around the Great Depression, and they’ve been rolling back since the 70s. We’re backsliding from legitimate gains.

Technology@lemmy.world•People Would Rather Have Nuclear Power Plants In Their Area Than AI Data CentersEnglish
2·3 days agoIt’s not mindless rejection. It´s just the argument taken one step further - the system we live in will put the fruits of AI into corporate and therefore capital’s (the bad actors) hands, along with the power and control that come with it. We won’t reap much of the benefits and we’ll suffer the costs. Without a fundamental change to the system we take that as the almost certain outcome. Hence the rejection. I think the rejection would change with a material change in the system.

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Louis Rossman Blasts EA for Dead Space 2's Lockout DRMEnglish
2·4 days agoWell he considers Thomas Sowell an insightful thinker so… That said, there’s a strategic ally line between marxists and capitalists around market failures that necessitate gov’t intervention to “improve capitalism” or solve “crony capitalism” or whatever the fuck cope they want to call it. We just don’t have to tell 'em it works as intended and instead ally on concrete results around market failure. We don’t have to smear their faces in our superior understanding of the system. You don’t tell a kid that half the things you teach them at the age of 5 is half-true. :D
