But if we were to change our relationship as I described, this model of capitalist-funded maintenance would become incompatible.
I’m well aware that the modern ML techniques are not what we now call AGI, but I don’t see the relevancy here?

I’m not necessarily disagreeing but I’m shuddering at the new of industry of lawyers it would require to make that a semi-functional ecosystem. There are certainly contemporary examples of this business model. (Ironically ML is handling a lot of the work these days, but you still need the lawyers.)
Can we fast forward to the part where AI is maintained by all and benefits all? Pandora is out of the box and there won’t be peace until we find harmony with this new entity.
Yeah, yeah, I know - if only.
America is a terrifyingly broken country.
It’s like ‘every day is backwards day’ crossed with an infinitely-recursive manifold.
I saw a headline this morning that hedge fund managers are bullish on diesel. And the logic here seems to check out from what I skimmed. Will be interesting to see how this develops. A consumption downturn might kick the can out further.
I do support the argument that further complexifying essentials before the great decomplexification is a bad idea. However, burning a ton of fossil fuels to build alternative power sources is not a solution unless it is basically free energy - renewable alone is not sufficient justification. We need volitional degrowth. We won’t get it, but that’s what we need.
Not to diminish any particular arguments, but this is how these conversations always play out in my view:
Stop burning fossil fuels.
But we are in overshoot.
Yes
But we won’t be able to keep up agriculture.
Yes
But we won’t be able to keep up industry
Yes
But we won’t be able to keep up consumerism
Yes
But people will die.
Yes :(
But the rich will loses their riches
Yes
but but but
It doesn’t matter what the cost is, that’s the solution. The rest is simply consequence - and it grows greater by each day we ignore it.
Just because an ask is nigh impossible, does not mean that it is foolish or that it comes from ignorance.
c/collapse… such a lovely sound to it, even here at the end of civilization.

The elite are trying to whip everyone back to the office to avoid a commercial real estate crash.
Yes, but I’m surprised the author doesn’t even mention CMBSs.

To one extent every religion is.
Yes! History is a tale of cyclical power struggles. I disagree that every religion is syncretic but in principle that’s right. It’s exactly why this headline exists!
I am not quite seeing however what Biblical Jesus borrowed from Rome that the Jews of the area hadn’t already. Can you list some examples?
No I cannot because Biblical Jesus wasn’t real, whether historic Jesus was or not.
The human being that is most recognized as being the inspiration for Jesus had nothing to do with the Bible or the stories in it. The first hint to this should be that many Biblical stories predate the preacher, of course with different characters in the originals. Jesus was simply the device needed to create the opportunity to rewrite regional beliefs in a format more compatible with the contemporary nation-states.
It was non-contemporaneous authors that made Christianity what it is, not some Jesus character. During the time of Jesus around a century after iirc, the practices now called Christianity were not present. There was a very ambiguous and locally varied new twist on the old stories, but Christianity did not start with Jesus as a singular point and then branch from there. Christianity started as an influence on existing religions that slowly tied together disparate branches with a story that became more and more consistent only after it had been around for generations. When his name first started to be used to retell these stories, 2000 years ago or so, there was little agreement on who Jesus was or what he preached. And so the things Jesus is claimed to have said now, are not the same things they were claiming he said back then, which were themselves removed from what the human preacher actually preached (which is currently understood to have been pretty standard teachings for the time and region).
And so, as a character in a story, Biblical Jesus was not an entity that ever had agency. He couldn’t “borrow” anything.
Really only discussing what Biblical Jesus is supposed to have said.
Then you must pay attention to who wrote his lines! It was Rome. Forget the Bible, if you want to learn the answers to your questions, then go read history books to understand the actions that went along with the words. Christianity was the vessel for Roman colonialism.
If you’re too attached to approach it without biases, you could study Islam instead. After understanding the history of Islam, the history of Christianity should become easier to understand for Christians.
I don’t actually, the climate is already collapsing. Our timeline won’t extend far enough.
