lol reminds me of Andrew Yang and his "forward" party.
https://nonpol.com/manifesto-the-economy/
Somehow with a worse economic policy:
Every business in the UK will be open 24/7, like hospitals.
Providing full employment with all the new job listings, 4 day workweek
"Technology will be a major factor here. One benefit from the pandemic was the flexibility to work from home. Going forward all wheelchair and home bound people can have a full career working from home. With the growth of AI, quantum computing and robots. A lot of mundane, repetitive, difficult and dangerous work can be carried out through technology. NONPOL is a technology party and will use technology to support workers and the economy. Machines are reliable, don’t take sickies, are consistent, accurate and don’t strike for a pay rise. For those frightened of AI, we would enforce the Asimov rules of Robotics, so, no fear of Terminators." - Replacing all of those workers with machines that don't take sickies or strike for a pay raise.
Banning phones, history, and geography courses in schools
Nationalising all basic industries, but not like British Rail. This allows banning strikes and paying workers based on productivity
Remove all social benefits, require their repayment when you die
Tax all Chinese students for COVID.

At least Andrew Yang's platform boiled down to "we're going to bribe you to not shoot CEOs in the street."
lol not even a white washed history, just fuck it all. the past? never happened. critical support for this party in getting an entire state to wholeheartedly embrace Last Thursdayism.
The past is a foreign country and foreigners are icky.
Was going to get mad about
But then it ended on
No elaboration, no punctuation, just
They've written this whole ass five dollar paragraph to say "oi, wot if bitcoin." It has the same exact vibe to me as Trump's crypto shit where he doesn't bother to pretend he knows what any of it means.
Wow, everything's computer!
It comes as little surprise but this simply is not how an LLM works or could ever work
It's not even how the Three Laws of Robotics works. Asimov wrote quite a lot on how unintended interactions between them could render them pointless.
Asimov himself explained why the rules don't work.
I’ll give Yang this: although it’s a shame to see what appears to be a sincere guy fully sold on capitalism. At least he’s one of the few capitalists that acknowledges that for the system’s own good: porky cannot have too good of a deal.
Plus I liked his policy of trying to get children away from online echo chambers like 8chan. He’s about as far-right as I’ll actually get out and vote for.
Not left, not right - UPward!
