You are aware Ukraine only exists as a sovereign country because of the USSR right? Ukraine was never an independent nation before the USSR. The USSR gave many of the peoples and nations of the old Russian empire their own republics. It was a big part of the Soviet project. They had a congress that was democratically elected, but their version of a “senate” was actually a “nation and people’s” congress, where 2 representatives of each nation, ethnicity or people would gather and have the power to veto laws etc. like a senate does.

You don’t think their main source of income was ever consumer-grade memory… do you?

It’s always been servers and business customers.

Well yeah… AI research started out in the Soviet Union precisely as an investigation of intelligence and consciousness. The goal was never to replace workers (as you know, the USSR was socialist). It was a scientific investigation of our own minds. The idea was that by learning how to build an artificial mind, every step would help us learn about our own “natural” minds.

It’s not random that some of the best existential works of sci-fi ever came from the USSR 😂

That’s a neat hypothesis, but there is no settled science on what is “thinking”. Specially thinking in the sense of coming up with new ideas.

But they are the humanity. We are just the peasants.

Lots of materialist reductionism in this thread. Funny that you guys consider yourselves super “scientifically minded” but your beliefs are purely faith-based and contradict what most actual researchers on the field think. You’ll be very hard pressed to find a scientist studying consciousness that believes it’s purely a mechanistic and chemical process fully localized on the brain.

Only people with the souls of warlocks get panic attacks or psychotic breaks when smoking weed.

Those of pure soul smoke without issues forever.

(people never saw the meme I guess)

New research says birds have grammar and you’re still talking like it’s the 20th century. Get on with the times! Many animals are practically identical to us in capability. We’re just better at some of the stuff we all can do.

Example?

That proven color revolution? Should they just allow US backed students to take over and give the reins to western puppets…?

While some will be AI, they did filter by songs with at least some play. The millions of AI songs that get uploaded likely get very little play.

But then there’s some AI artists that are getting millions of plays a month….

Yeah because paracetamol, and most other modern drugs, are purely petroleum-based. Thank the Rockefellers for that!

Our* toothbrush, comrade.

I didn’t claim anything tho…?

Lol like that makes any difference?

That’s not so true nowadays. Skilled factory workers already make a good salary in China nowadays. Like better than any other “global south” country at least. And by cost of living, better than the US probably tbh.

Americans downvoting you, mad they are the bad guys.

What is your definition of working? I’d say communist revolutions have indeed worked. I base that on data, facts and the material conditions of places that had a revolution compared to countries in similar economic and geopolitical situations.

Cuba is doing much better than most Latin American countries. In most areas it’s doing MUCH better.

China is doing infinitely better than any other comparable country, like India. It’s not even a comparison.

The USSR was also doing much better than any country in a comparable situation when it did exist.

How did these revolutions “not work”?

Yeah sure… it worked great for Chile. Unless there is a wave of democratic socialism all over the western world, specially the US, all at the same time, it’ll just be squashed by fascism backed by the US and friends.

The only real solution that has worked before is a communist revolution. Like it or not.

I buy what I believe will be best for me. I don’t feel bad to buy from x company instead of y. I just buy it and don’t give a fuck.
