Rad!

Security is not a wall. It is a maze.

Speaking of The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix, does anyone happen to know where the music in this clip is from?

The music is obviously not from the original movie. It was added by someone else. I don’t think I’ll ever know its source.

Seems like that would suck for the vanguard.

Unless the tactic of intimidation is 100% successful. But it’s never just the pawns against the power pieces. There’s always a fascist line.

These look rad, and I will be trying to find copies now, so thank you. I used to play a lot of interactive fiction games, text only and images including, so I know I am gonna enjoy these from a medium and style perspective. There was this game called DeJaVu that was surprisingly immersive. Pretty good noir art.

Whether those books you mentioned are good cyberpunk, IDK. Let us know what you think after you read them?

Who’s gonna put their knee on your neck? You?!

Right?? Like, mooches are bad!

But if you buy into or inherit moochdom, that’s somehow socially accepted!

Back in 2003 when I was waiting tables during university studies, my Physics II professor gave us the equation to determine wattage from solar irradiance based on photovoltaic conversion rates. At the time, it was something like 30% efficiency. I did some napkin math, and figured out that it would take around $1.2 trillion to buy enough PV cells from a retail supplier to build a 90 mile by 90 mile square PV farm deployed somewhere like New Mexico which could generate enough electricity to power every economic sector in the US – residential, commercial, industrial. Then, in 2008 during the mortgage and credit default swap financial crisis, Obama gave $800 billion of taxpayer funds directly to the banks to make them solvent, and directed the Fed to begin the disastrous QE policy, dumping $24+ trillion into the economy over the next decade and a half.

When Obama did that, that is when I realized that this country (America) and maybe even human beings at large are simply too stupid, too short-sighted, too selfish and primitive to do what is necessary to make our civilization a sustainable one.

Everybody afraid of being mooched off of.

We Americans are trained from birth to hate a mooch, and to be especially hyper vigilant against getting taken advantage of by those “lower” than us.

But we will let those we see as our “betters” take advantage of us all day long. Subservience to power and sycophants to the wealthy.

Is this why fascists and nationalists will almost never convert or join the prole revolution? Because they have been trained to reject the mindset of the victim and will refuse to admit they have in fact also been victimized by the system that they imagine protects them and which they imagine offers them their very identity? So instead they can only scapegoat the other.

Good poster. 🥰

Same. I love Briahna Joy Gray. She is a comrade, and does good work.

I could do without this So and So DESTROYS Whossit YouTube debate bro shit.

Even the ever pathetic Forbes is doing it now with Congressional summons and committees. Yuck.

When you sell PNGs to anti-Imperialists, but you overcharge them, still a cap pig.

Hips width explanation here in this fash apron:

Lib Media: Okay Biden’s in office now! Stop showing the kids in cages.

They still are. Most of the big players have been using algorithm specific processors, which aren’t portable to the LLM applications.

Plus there’s a reward change coming up soon, which usually predicates a bull run in the cryptocurrency “markets”. Yes, VC money is drying up for these firms, but the independent miners will keep going. I bet there will even be blockchain based applications which are integrated into AI generative applications. It’s gonna be madness.

So, we will probably see doubling or worse existing power consumption with no end in sight.

This sounds crazy, but computing technology resembles a parasitic life form, with exponential consumption rates. Or maybe that’s just venture capitalists.

ChatGPT yields this with a few extra details, and then saying, “Crazier”.

Assets and bank accounts frozen if fingers in ears.

Interesting comment on the article demanding link to charges document online.

The Southern capitalists have understood this dynamic since back in the day when enslaved women were used for breeding and abortion was destruction of property.
