So they’re just going to use GitHub as a code training dataset? Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

If you just joined one and did stuff, I’d try it, but all the ones close to me demand payment, like it is some holiday retreat. It’s hard to find the real ones within all the hustler noise.

The issue for me is that musicated poetry has to be good poetry in first place. Generally, the voice even if good just interferes with the music unless it is a choir. Plus I’ve always had a hard time parsing lyrics by ear… I’d never considered cross-culture universality.

Just make it an official extension ffs…

For that, first you need to solve a major problem posed by globalized capital to any government (also salary/regulatory arbitrage and bribes), which is, you need to get the stuff that they stashed away in a tax haven or even in a hostile country.

🎉 Congrats!🥳 You finally made it to 1Bn credits, do you want to make any charitable donations? No? Then right this way, we have a huge reception prepared for you, sir: 🔪

Like the ascension of the Sonmis (in Cloud Atlas)

True, that’s actually better: heavy taxation and redistribution to services, grants to small businesses, UBI :)

Make bankers boring and frugal again.

We need a mechanism like this to punish billionaires who get too uppity in liberal democracies or corporations that get too big (but well set up that it can’t be abused by corrupt power-hungry politicians).

e.g. first step: end citizens united in the USA, more transparent lobbying in the EU.

I’ll add my own experience: in uni, we’d go in groups where half sung from their heart and the other half (I was in this one) was mostly sarcastic…I always wondered if it was because each subgroup was from a different culture (sincere singing: friends from asian country(ies), insencere: friends from european countries).

Great Expectations (yes, by Dickens) pushed me away from “trying” a religious affiliation :)

Lula won with 50.5%. That is how close they were to being enslaved again. It is not easy.

Why is the EU always blamed for everything? This is how you got brexit. Trade policy and negotiations included all of the inputs of the EU members’ leaders. The problem is that they are split. Some are trump fans (Italy, Hungary), some can’t imagine life without murica (Germany, Poland, Baltics, probably), some want more autonomy (France, Spain). This is merely a fragile compromise.

Oh look, the tech companies sent a shit eating emissary to tell us how to live our lives so as to exploit us better…

RFK will save them…with leeches eheh. You vote for a snake oil salesman, you get witch doctors, have fun in the middle ages! :)

Probably. In some situations where there are no predators and you have semi-wild herbivores roam (usually goats, they are the least picky eaters) to eat forest fuel to prevent forest fires, it might be an ecological solution. But otherwise, yeah, red meat is something to reduce, not sure if this will be enough.

I’m an LLM freegan, I guess. But I’m cutting back too, the usefulness peaked.

44% through War and Peace…stuck in the wolf hunt, going very slowly…

Yeah, magically lose the “password” to access the satellite and have it show up somewhere at a canadian or european climate office.
