They don’t have to be as good to replace us.

This is too dismissive.

Industrialization and automation has already eliminated an entire class of work that was otherwise there.

In a hunter gathered society or an early industrial society there was always work for everyone, in modern capitalist society, there quite frankly isn’t, and that leads to huge numbers of people just being cast aside.

And AI may wipe out a huge number of the rest. I genuinely can’t possibly fathom how it will do anything but exacerbate every single one of society’s problems.

The US tariffing the world to bring back domestic manufacturing is not a dumb idea on its face.

The execution has been dumb and alienating but that is one of the few areas where it’s been baffling watching leftists flip from being anti free trade because it lets corporations siphon money and avoid regulation to suddenly being super pro free trade because Trump is against it.

Free trade is what has hollowed out North America’s manufacturing industries. Corporations have used it to effectively send money to poorer countries where labour is cheap while getting paid bonuses for “efficiencies”.

In a single country you can do things like set a minimum wage, with free trade companies can simply move manufacturing to somewhere with a lower minimum wage, pressuring governments to race to the bottom in terms of how badly they abuse their workers.

More righteous excuses to not read, think, or use your brain.

If I say the word Hitler, you stick your head in the sand and pretend they don’t exist.

Good luck changing the world by ignoring reality and not listening to people. I’m sure it’s a rational strategy that doesn’t play directly into the openly published playbooks from Russia and China that detail how polarization is how you break society.

Some of that money goes into producing Canadian Content which employs Canadian artists and the broader Canadian arts industry. That’s better then that money going to Hollywood and supporting the American arts industry.

Either way the benefits are just trickling down rather than going directly to artists, but with these laws more money stays local in Canada rather than going to the US.

You are arguing about whether that money should trickle down or be given directly to artists and that is quite frankly, completely irrelevant given that both options here (the rates increasing or the rates not increasing), don’t effect that.

This isn’t meant to be the be all end all solution to every single problem eey ore.

It’s a specific mechanism that keeps money in Canada instead of drifting away.

It is objectively a good thing.

Lmfao, so now Lila Shroff, staff writer at the Atlantic, is a white supremacist?

The quote was being used to make the article author’s point in the context of the article, it wasn’t a feed of quotes the author found inspiring from people they think you should pay attention to.

By your logic Robert Evans of Behind the Bastards fame is a white supremacist because he’s quoted them before.

Yeah, and my point is that your point is anti-intellectual horseshit wrapped in righteous indignation.

Yeah, and he’s quoted once to make the point that the fact that someone like that, and someone like Bernie Sanders agree on AI hurting workers, shows that the anti-AI backlash is cross partisan.

Your righteous ignorance is just anti-intellectual trash.

Read the full article, then critique it and him if you want, or keep your mouth shut and don’t judge a full article because it’s opening line quotes someone you despise when you don’t even understand that the context is not validating or praise worthy.

Hey everyone, check out how edgy and dismissive this guy is!

God, not listening or thinking is so cool. How do you maintain your ability to not engage with the discussion topic while still thinking you have something to say that’s worth listening to?

This is precisely why. xAI spent a huge amount on compute hardware, then got absorbed into SpaceX.

SpaceX doesnt have need for that much compute, and there’s certainly not enough Grok demand for it. Meanwhile Anthropic is desperately looking around for anyone to buy compute from.

Lmfao.

No, it’s the US.

Trump is not an aberration, he is an exact representation of American values. He did not rise from a vacuum, he rose from decades of Americans blindly following Republicans to their doom.

You cannot say that he does not represent the US when he was voted into office on two non-consecutive turns.

America is a shit hole country, filled with shit hole people, who vote for shit hole representatives. There may be occasional flecks of not shit in there, but you’re just hollow husks of corns in a sea of shit.

Honestly, not at the scale of the US, but Cuba has cracked down on political prisoners and the corruption is sometimes extremely visible in Havana when you see the properties of the elite and government compared to those of everyone else.

The history of Cuba is another example of why America is such a piece of shit country.

Honestly, it must be fucking wildly embarassing that a tiny island, that America has used it’s full economic power to try and impoverish and starve to death for decades, has a comparable average lifespan and cancer survival rate, far better infant mortality rate, almost double the number of hospital beds per person, and an over 10% higher literacy rate.

Yes the Cuban government has corruption issues that cause the powerful to live rich unattainable lifestyles compared to the average worker, and issues with jailing people who don’t deserve it… Can anyone argue that America is any better in either of those regards though?

Let me just leave this here:

South Korea’s ADD showcases new Supercavitating Torpedo at MADEX 2025

ADD said that the development of this supercavitating torpedo is currently about two-thirds complete, and that after further maturing the torpedo’s stabilization control technology, it will finally secure the design and testing technology of the test body.

…The MRXUUV (Mission Reconfigurable eXtra-large Unmanned Underwater Vehicle) currently under development by ADD could serve as testbed.

According to an interview with the ADD chief researcher, the supercavitating torpedo displayed at MADEX 2025 is an actual tested torpedo, designed in size to fit in a UUV, capable of being guided (in the initial phase of the launch, at low speed), and is being developed to sink enemy main surface ships with ultra-high-speed kinetic energy without a warhead.

The publicly released timeline doesn’t line up, but the motivations do.
