Now that you mention it... It's kind of weird they haven't "transvestigated" her for turning on Trump.

Wasn't trying to argue we should abolish public education but that we can't rely on reforming education to fix our political system. It flows the other way. Which means we also need to find ways to cultivate independent thought outside of traditional education. This comes in many forms, mutual aide, potlucks, new art, community workshops, etc but the through line is you are offering people more independence to be well.

Let me see if I got this right: Because use cases for LLMs have to be resilient to hallucinations, large data centers will fall out of favor for smaller, cheaper deployments at the cost of accuracy. And once you have a business that is categorizing relevant data, you will gradually move away from black box LLMs and towards ML on the edge to cut costs and also at the cost of accuracy.

My "source" on education being a tool of Hegemony is Micheal Foucault, not exactly a right-wing propagandist. The right has a tendency to take arguments from others and twist them to accomplish the opposite.

He's fucking Grok, isn't he?

Inviting them to have a seat at the table can send them into a tailspin. It's kind of funny how they pretend to be the adults in the room while doing so.

Cheney being a war criminal isn't a matter of opinion. Same goes for human rights.

Stuff like this reminds me why they lose to fascists. When they like to say the proto-fascists are practicing politics correctly it really waters down their message and what is at stake.

It's funny because I have the same tired feeling of dragging unimaginative people to a better future. But the good news is if you aren't against us then you are for us. There's room at the table for you.

It is silly to think we can't learn lessons on how Mamdani won because he hasn't exercised the office yet. This isn't about how you did that right thing and voted against fascism that one time. This is about winning power, and if that is too idealist for you then I don't know what else to say other than I'll see you on the campaign trail.

Sounds like something the CEO of Nestle would say.

Education doesn't make people act independently, often to the contrary.

Historically, the goal of education was to have a productive labor force. And even if our education system was to teach independence, it cannot deliver the ability, that comes from economic and social liberation.
