Nah see they read thousands of pages in like an hour. That's why. They just don't need to anymore because they're so intelligent and do it the smart way with like models and shit to compress it into a half a page summary that is clearly just as useful.

Seriously, that's what they would say.

They don't actually understand what LLMs do either. They just think people that do are smart so they press buttons and type prompts and think that's as good as the software engineer that actually developed the LLMs.

Seriously. They think they are the same as the people that develop the source code for their webui prompt. And most of society doesn't understand that difference so they get away with it.

It's the equivalent of the dude that trade shitcoins thinking he understands crypto like the guy committing all of the code to actually run it.

(Or worse they clone a repo and follow a tutorial to change a config file and make their own shitcoins)

I really think some parts of our tech world need to be made LESS user friendly. Not more.

Just more ahistorical garbage from someone that admittedly doesn't read anything that might not agree with their existing beliefs. You're embarrassing yourself with every reply mate. Now I'm just entertained.

"Each and every time". Cope more mate. You just generalized so much history into a single sentence it's embarrassing.

Yeah it's just the damn MLs getting in the way. You really are just a lib. Or I'm being very generous you fall for liberal talking points.

No respectable anarchist outside of the western world would ever agree with you. You're just repeating garbage liberal filled anarchist without any real ideas.

No. We are not both that way. I read plenty by anarchist and demsocs and even MLs I disagree with. Because I understand that we all share fundamentals that are good and can be learned from each other. Especially when it comes to defending successful revolutions and defending the working class.

You, on the contrary are (by your own admission) treating this like some religion or some team sport. To the extent that you thought an analogy of leftist to white supremacist actually made sense in your head. Wow. Absolutely zero material analysis.

To be clear, it's ok to make extreme analogies. That's not the issue. It's that your analogy is entirely based on "bad group I disagree with" and literally nothing more.

You basically sound like a liberal that calls themselves an anarchist. It's pretty embarrassing.

God, I wish anarchist actually had a successful revolution to point to so us MLs could pick apart every little failure of its post revolution society too. But, alas, they have never lasted long enough to actually be able to defend themselves. So you get to sit on your hill of "purity" while MLs actually get shit done.

Yeah. So you're irrational. You're not going to read a historical account by a ML because they're an ML. That would be like me not reading Chomsky's manufacturing concent because he's an anarchist. It's dumb. You're being dumb and close minded and missing out on one of the best historical accounts of the thing you asked about.

Your loss. But don't act like you're being rational here. No wonder you fail so hard understanding historical materialism. You flat out refuse to read it for some liberal moral grandstanding masked as being an anarchist.

Yeah I'm not reading all that. Sorry mate. You're going way off topic from the initial reason I recommended the book in the first place. It covers the history of resistance to Nazis by leftist groups in Germany. But you seem to want to ignore that for some leftist (anarchist) purity. Like somehow you can't learn history because it's written by a ML. Weird take and weird rant.

This is what Parenti would say to that. 3:15 for the relevant part. But the whole story is good. I hope you open yourself up to some more historical materialism and not discount someone because they understand the history more than what you've been told.

Parenti definitely doesn't give a pass like you say. But he understands the material circumstances in which revolution occurs. What you call "authoritarian" might me seizing lands from slave plantations in Cuba. I'm not sure exactly what you mean. But I really think you should more reading from him not less. Especially, if you haven't even read his most iconic book. (The one I recommended). Have you actually read anything from him?

It's amazing how many people in America support Zionist Fascism by quoting the bible and saying that that land must be a Jewish supremacists Ethnostate.

It's not even just the hardcore Christian Trump voters. You'll hear this take from the liberals in the PNW too. Its amazing propaganda. People don't even think or question it because it's been burned into their brain since birth.

It's why you hear "progressive except Palestine" so often.

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti. There is a free pdf file of it with some searching I know.

Found it. You read this and it's gonna sound a lot like modern day.

I think you're wrong. But not because you're illogical. On the contrary I think you're thinking rationally if you assume businesses are running to make better products. If you do. You're right.

These companies are not running to make better products than their competitors. They are running to monopolize their industry to a degree that gives them enough power to sell absolute garbage.

Look no further than the gaming industry. This is the exact type of garbage we are seeing from other industries now.

They are not interested in making better products. They are interested in making profits. And if the entire market is held together by 2-3 major players all replacing workers with AI slop they will have no reason to change. They will all do it together.

No amount of "indie" projects will ever threaten their market domination.

This is then future that will happen. Don't expect "markets" to save us from this. The myth of "free markets" is how we got here in the first place.

Its why I love "getting organized" and making a well structured plan of what I will do the next day. It makes me feel so accomplished that I wake up the next morning and realize I already got all the dopamine I could get from making the plan. It's basically like I already did all those things. So there is no reason to rush and do them now.

Holy shit. Shut the fuck up. We don't live in China during the 2010s. People can care about an active genocide supported by their tax dollars and elected politicians and not be hypocrites for not mentioning "China bad" before every post.

The point here is supporting genocide or not. You can have this discussion about other things. But you could probably have left this comment unposted in this context.
