This means I’m not ignoring them, just not even seeing them

  • You are talking about going against a cartel of oligopolies that have locked down the technology sector with the IP they control and who have cutthroat control over where the latest technology is deployed. What we at home can do is playact “It’s back to the 90s!” and go back to the technology we had several decades ago, which is more viable than it sounds.

    If they want to act like cartels with the greatest and latest, nothing is forcing people to use it. Unfortunately, the technological divide will still be there. Tech minimalism, go human, recycle old tech, we have a lot of crap we’ve disposed off over the years that would otherwise still run fine. To create competition, there needs to be the breeding grounds for it, and if that means having to do with what the lunar lander did, then do so and exercise that brain in the process too.



  • The data set and the algorithm are still there, it’s just not available to the public anymore. I wonder who will still get access to it. This just seems to follow the general trend of oligarchs encouraging startups to do anything and everything to disrupt an industry, go as far as they can, and then pull them out through any pressure, government or corporate, as they try to scavenge what they want.

    Besides that, there’s still alternatives alive, local or otherwise, and I doubt the people who were using Sora are suddenly going to stop without trying to search for alternatives first. People are celebrating after just chopping off the first head of the hydra.






  • Funny how you end that last comment, given what it is … And funny how parting from such a class based obsession, you twist the argument back to the default that’s served to get us to ignore reality. Your argument isn’t anything new, it is what we are fed up with.

    The first affected by this are the people who don’t have job mobility or wealth. Those are farms, and by “family farms” I I assume you mean the big corporate land owners who end up buying them. These are migrant workers. Their conditions also go to the bottom - they have more ready access to social services but their wealth and acquisition power is the first to be affected.

    They are the ones who are already at the bottom, and are seeing their quality of life tank first. Housing, the economy, they are the first to have to adapt their standards to those of the migrants coming in to perform those jobs. They have to say goodbye to things like the family “farm” and homes you so romanticize and their best hope is to at least be able to use the advantage to move into urban jobs, not because they are more educated but because they pay better. They are the first stuck with “owning nothing” and coming to terms with it.

    Same story for the large meat processing companies in Germany who need more butchers and the jobs they displace, except that now it makes it harder for those at the bottom to move into jobs like them. Was it something you were considering because as a migrant farmer your life was going to shit with the increasing cost of living? Not a choice anymore. I laugh at the notion that anyone could consider these “middle class”, but then again you just regurgitate the same old. It doesn’t have to be with the lowest paid jobs, either, this has been going on with the tech industry to great effect for years. This has resulted in countries that really don’t have any control of where their own technology sector is heading off to but rather one that belongs to one of a few international corporations keeping the cycle going.

    Migrant farmers and workers have it worse than ever, unless they are coming from far worse economies, I find your argument laughable at best. Maybe the reason you are so blind is because you’ve already accepted working at age 5 and shit standards as a norm. Meanwhile, governments become increasingly corrupt and the increasing wealth gap between the leaders and the lowest rung of society is only praised by comments like yours.
