8 months agoMaybe it does dox me… we are using AR for power plant related tasks with some components for which we have service contracts with a third party and the manufacturers. Really does increase productivity quite a bit, still in most cases the people 30 years on the job and who know the machines well after decades on them can deal with most, too. However not always and there are a couple of them who do not actually have a mental model of the machinery and they could profit from that, too.
Tools can emancipate us, or be pressures on wages and the labour class. The question is who controls them, how they are used and in most countries also what kind of policies alter their usage.
You really don’t have to take a comparison like that. It would also not be true directly (at least 17 million dead due to explicit Nazi action outside of soldiers).
The killing (which is what capitalist states through their inaction and upkeep of private economies did) of people during the Covid pandemic stand on its own.
You don’t have to relate to the Congo “Free State” either, even though a similar number of people might’ve died there on the hands of Belgian colonialist hell.
I do agree with the attack on states and their ineffective measures though and would support truth commissions.
