Forming a study group seems like a no brainer now that I realized Lenin, Mao and even Marx had their starts in study groups

Unfortunately I think I alot of people would be turned off by it being marxist, even if they dont have a real conception of what marxism is. I'm kinda wondering if its worth going straight to marxist texts, or maybe start with something more borderline to attract liberals that can potentially be converted.

This is actually the first time I've seen the original

Yea the vision is very unclear to me, at least what they've announced publicly. I've seen people say the goal is achieving AGI but I'm not sure what that even means.

From internal docs leak it seems that the company is totally capitalist brained and it doesn't have a clear definition of AGI either.

According to leaked documents obtained by The Information, the two companies came to agree in 2023 that AGI will be achieved once OpenAI has developed an AI system that can generate at least $100 billion in profits.

Again this is also unclear. How is it going to generate profits?

If it's supposed to replace Google search, one avenue I can see is trying to incorporate ads into the LLM answers, which just degrades their product, but I suppose if they hit a mass market then they can create a sort of walled Garden that keeps people on it.

Another way is that it will totally replace workers. I don't think this is possible and is AI idealism.

The other way is you make this a product that increases productivity. In that case you can replace workers because it makes the average worker more productive and then a company can do more with less.

But I'm just speculating, I think any of these can be totally wrong.

I wish that OpenAI and their ilk would die already so I could begin to make sense of the world

Ignoring the incoming climate catastrophe, I think the only way for AI to die is for something else new and shiny to come in that VC's then stop throwing their money into AI buzzword bullshit startup and into that new industry. I think all these VC's think the same way and want the next "internet". It's also why I think so much money was thrown into crypto as even though it was bs, it had a next big thing kinda vibe.

I'm hoping it doesn't even get to that point and we can have some kinda revolution in the west because, fuck, we're all dying so that these assholes can maintain their profits.

NYPD budget is higher than North Korea's military budget. These people are hallucinating

Mass immigration didn't exist before 2001

Right Wingers: left wingers just thrive on fear mongering. Also we should be scared about the flood of immigrants coming into the country and the government trying to kill us with vaccines

Is that because they associate Assad with Putin?

I'm also wondering what evidence there is for this rebellion force being "pro-Assad" besides being against the current government.

Ironically that last comment is just describing the normal behavior of people under capitalism

How do y'all talk to libs about how the media is portraying Trump as subservient to Putin? For example refusing aid to Ukraine and easing sanctions on Russia. I don't really have a good answer other than the long history after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and that the US and Russia would probably never be allies.

I can understand why he'd be hard on Ukraine, but even I have trouble understanding why Trump seems so friendly with Russia

Unironically, there are so many parallels with Harry potter and the way modern liberals act

Joe Rogan is the ultimate example of social being determining your conscious. As he got richer and more popular he became more right wing.

I also agree and don't think it was a deliberate long con by any of them (well maybe Tim Pool?). They are all just products of their environments. The right also understands how important it is to control the cultural hegemony. Theyre not just talking to people about politics, but all sorts of different niches.

American online right wing propaganda is way too strong, to a point where its just a self-sustaining plague on the internet. The way it turns apolitical people into right wing nut jobs is quite scary. I would bet most people in China are apolitical and that would be ripe picking for the propaganda.
