There is no fundamental difference between how power works across any society or culture. Power rules in exactly the same way regardless of race, culture, or ethnicity. Tyrants exists across all nations, all cultures, all races, all eras. Because the mechanics of power transcend all those superficial human differences. A tyrant in the East wants the same thing as a tyrant in the West. The only difference is that there are less tyrants in the West because the West has mostly outgrown them. This is meaningless. Putin is threatening to use nukes right now if he doesn't get his way annexing Ukraine. There is nothing you guys will say, no argument you can come up with, that will change the reality that the West is more developed than the rest. This is the case no matter how much you dislike it.

Yeah, that's why I'm me and you're you. I care about truth when no one else does. That's what makes me one of a kind. That is my superpower.

@gengar If you continue with your nonsense I will ban you. Do not waste my time. I teach serious things. If you are unwilling to learn then be off. I'm not going to constantly argue with you and over-explain myself to you. -
Marry a prostitute and find out Contemplate the difference. Development of war just comes with the package of development as a whole. The more developed a society will be, the more powerful their weapons will be. Note that less developed nations are not rejecting weapons, they all desperately want bigger weapons, they just aren't capable of making them, or can't afford them. But if they could afford them they would buy them. So your lower nations are not some hippie, noble, spiritual, pacifists. They are warlords and warmongers, just less developed ones. Not as much, but still, girls doing OnlyFans are not sharpest tools in the box since it is not good for them in the big picture. Making easy money from sexual exploits is not a good career choice in the end. The buyer is healthier usually. Because buying prostitution is a lot healthier for a person than prostituting oneself. It is asymmetrical. Would you rather be a prostitute or the buyer? Being a prostitute is psychologically damaging. Paying for a prostitute is much less so because you're doing it for your own pleasure at your own convenience. It's the difference between buying a hotdog vs being butchered to make the hotdog.

Because truth is true, and everything else is not. What good is meaning if it isn't true?

Copper is not safe in my view. Steel is safer.

Probably just a cultural thing. Maybe they are less slut-shamed down there.
-
Because only a psychologically damaged mind would sell itself for sex.

Yes, health is mostly genetics.

Analogies only go so far. Palpatine also wasn't fat and orange. -
That's not surprising because MAGA are lunatics. They will be shocked by many things as reality crushes them in the end.

Exactly, bribe. All these less developed countries are infested with bribery, which makes their laws meaningless. That just proves low development. You guys keep trying to argue with me on this, but you are ultimately wrong. It would wiser if you argued with me less and contemplated the truth behind what I say more. I am teaching you valuable things that are to your benefit to learn.

The irony is that low consciousness people do find value in devilry, like Trump's fake TV show. But many of Trump's schemes were just theft and value-stealing. So Trump and Musk are not alike in that regard. Musk does legit business. Trump is a con-artist with a TV show. -

Had. We had. -
1) You assume this will actually get built. 2) You assume there is any connection between LLM AIs and scientific discovery. 3) You overlook that this whole scheme will be used to siphon public money for private gain to enrich oligarchs, not ordinary people, only making oligarchy stronger. Oligarchs can use this AI to enslave you. And they will build it using your tax dollars. Do you think these people really care about curing cancer for free, or enslaving you for profit? This is like if Emperor Palpatine said, We are investing in a supercomputer to cure cancer, but really he is building the Death Star. And dumb people cheer him on.
-
But they won't. Because they are less developed. You are talking about imaginary hypotheticals. I am talking reality. Nah, just less profitable.

Elon is less corrupt than Trump. Sure. Trump is a pure bullshit artist. Elon dabbles in bullshit. Trump is Emperor Palpatine and Musk is young Anakin, dabbling in the dark side. -
Actually he is more developed than the prostitute, but obviously he could be more developed. The West has much development ahead. "More developed" does not mean one is always good. People jump to that conclusion. Development levels are all relative to one another and the highest levels are actualized by nearly no one.

Well, that is the difference between truth-seeking vs political activism or success. Success in the material world requires some delusion. But my commitment is to truth-seeking. I don't agree with this. Most of the change in the world comes from grounded pragmatic solutions, not wild ideals. The wild ideals crash and burn most of the time. I try to keep people grounded because there is so much fantasy in the Green leftist political domain. We need a real, accurate view of how politics works, not wishful thinking. Especially in the era of Trump.

He's not honest. He says what he needs to to manipulate the public to help his business projects. This is why lies about stuff like full auto driving, etc. He doesn't mind lying as long as it pushes his agenda forward. -

Elon wants us to have a conversation about how black women firefighters caused the California wildfires -
Yes, West corps do outsource the dirty work to the 3rd world, but that's only possible because the 3rd world is behind in development and doesn't have things like labor protections and environemntal protections which only exist at higher levels of development. So the West is exploiting the situation, for sure. But the situation exists independent of the West. It's like if a rich man abuses a prostitute. Yes, he is exploiting her weak state, but she was a prostitute for long before he came around and her problems are much deeper than this rich white man. If she was healthy and strong she would not allow this rich white man to abuse her. Blaming the rich white man misunderstands the depth of the prostitutes problems. What your AI said does not contradict what I said. The West IS more developed and that is not due merely to exploiting the non-West. You can see that a nation like Russia is fucked up all on its own.

But can it actually run on a home machine? Don't you need a datacenter to run it?

It was a promise he made to his libertarian base at their convention. Trump is good at throwing red meat to his base. Remember, all these tech bro oligarchs fancy themselves libertarians. It also aligns with the crypto bro community.

It means fucking survival and power! You live in a hippie fantasy!
