Under border agreements, China and India can't use guns near their frontier, so they fight with rocks, clubs, rods, and fists.

It's called the Internet because it's a series of interconnected networks. Of course people are going to share stuff across these networks.

You know you’re right I’ve never posted content before.

Some of us don’t want to have ai powered bot swarms moving content word-for-word from reddit to lemmy seemingly ran by an incel but if you’re into that stuff that’s great.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago

Honestly, I only care about the content and the interactions I get with people in these comments. I don't care so much that it's content from another platform.

Though, granted, I would prefer if the OP wasn't a computer program. I will concede that much! That part is pretty icky.

Who?... And how do you know they're an incel? What's your proof?

I don't know if someone's agentic AI doing an incel post necessarily means they're an incel. But yeah, looks like dead Internet is here... As is the concern all posts will eventually be made by bots.

Cultural take over is a real concern with LLMs (it will all be under a more direct form of billionaire biasing if we can't solve for that issue).

The games industry is already going the way of the dodo, and I doubt it will be profitable by 2030.

Some are already saying 50% of new content online is bot generated. It just creates and posts content faster than humans can.

You didn’t read their comment than.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

It said to check the third link from the top, which was to a whole profile I couldn't be bothered going through.

Edit: Oh I took "check bottom" to mean the bottom most link of the three they posted after saying that. But they meant check the bottom of their comment. Yeah I see now, at the bottom they've quoted the user as being explicitly against the metoo movement.

And also this. The top comment has a bunch more information as well.

Wealth under Capitalism is logarithmic, and controlled from the top down. Someone's parents who own two homes are closer to being in your class strata than being billionaires (orders of magnitude wealthier).

There's the lobbying class of wealth, and the voting class. Owning two homes and having low millions still isn't in the lobbying class.

We need to keep the distribution of wealth within certain limits from the poorest to the richest.

The ultra rich are the problem, not the merely very very rich. The wealth GAP is the problem. That gap is due to billionaires, not millionaires.

Traversing the gap from regular person to millionaire is somewhat believable. Traversing the gap between regular person to billionaire - is very unlikely.

Go watch any video, or read a text about how wealth is distributed currently. I don't have it out for millionaires (the petite bourgeoisie, many of whom can see the problem of wealth distribution is unhealthy for everyone), it's the wealth-concentrated couldn't-get-here-without-family billionaires and high millionaires that are the problem.

Finding an appropriate hard limit and defining it in a way that is demonstrably present, exists for a specific reason is a difficult problem. At what point do we limit the range, and what will motivate politicians to install that cap (over taking a bribe) is the problem.

The comment not the shitty reddit meme.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 0 points 4 days ago

Federated services must be having issues, because it's not displaying comments via that link (although it's also saying there are 45 comments).

I'm sure it's bad, and I trust you now and that OP is LLM trash, I'll try to check it again later.

Whoa whoa whoa. I was told it was a series of tubes.

The internet is two bottles, one lemon party. Sometimes, there's a horse.

[–] time2lose@lemmy.world -5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

not engaging. reposts are not fobidden

[–] weps@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

let them go to Reddit if they want

I prefer my posts here

I think if you've both got billions of lives at risk you probably want to do stuff like this, an all out war between Indian and China would be brutal - it might even get to WW2 levels of death (80 million or so).

[–] justdaveisfine@piefed.social 5 points 4 days ago (3 children)

What would they be fighting over?

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

The sole purpose of these fights is stroking the fragile egos of their respective leaders.

Land the British promised to both of us. To be fair, it has been around 80 years since and at this point we should be settling our differences and planning a joint invasion of England.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Invading the ~~ancestors~~ descendants of wage slaves whose dead imperial overlords drew some maps is almost as dumb as fighting over those maps.

Modern China and India have their own homegrown oligarchies exercising levels of oppression that put the British imperials to shame.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you mean descendants? Also the British Empire still exists.

[–] yeahiknow3@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Also in existence are the Chinese and Indian oligarchies currently oppressing over a billion people. Not to mention fighting over a meaningless dumb border.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

China seems to have found a solution to the oligarchy problem, but our politicians are too weak to follow it. Agreed about it being time to settle our differences and plan a joint invasion of England, though.

China has more billionaires than we do and complete dictatorial control over a population that has zero civil rights.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works -1 points 4 days ago

It's the richest country in the world. Also, this is anecdotal, but I felt freer and safer in China than in the handful of other countries I've been to, and even certain parts of my own country. If there is dictatorial control, it must be very subtle.

This topic is covered in Neal Stephenson's book "Termination Shock."

Does China even use that west side? Isn't it uninhabited?
