Google's Antigravity made me 10~20x more productive. Feels like some sort of alien tech. I've been an AI denier for all this time and thought it was a glorified chat bot, but now I finally kneel.

If you look at the timing, only after the current government of the USA decided to impose tariffs on Chinese products, did the EU started becoming more hostile towards them.

>Not sure what private trackers are all about?
A private tracker is an invite-only torrent website. Each member shares common goals: collecting, preserving and discussing media.

This is the parafox of the private tracker.
You are not allowed to give invites to those that would use it, and only allowed to give invites to people who have no idea what a tracker is.

There's also another parallel in how /ptg/ probably has on average the highest quality users on these things, and yet we are stuck here being anonymous for fear of being marked.

Tracker staff should periodically organize some kind of invite pooling (like once every 6 months or one year).
>users use the tracker and are rewarded invites for being good members
>users who don't have anyone to invite donate their invites back to the tracker into some pool
>an official recruiter opens a temporary official invite thread to a lower tracker with lower requirements
>the recruiter selects the top members that apply (limited by the number of invites in the pool)
It's a mechanism which allows giving an opportunity to new promising users from all kind of places.
If the new users are not good, they aren't rewarded with invites for their good behavior, leading to a lower invite pool, so fewer such opportunities from the places they come from are opened.
If the new users from some place turn out to be good users, they're going to be rewarded more invites overall, which leads to proportionally larger invite pools for recruitment from the same place.
This moves the responsibility from the user to a recruiter, it removes the risk of having invite traders/sellers, and it allows for better coverage of recruitment and safer filtering.
It's not a fixed requirement that people are going to know, post about it and game it to enter the tracker, it allows the recruiter to choose the best ones which give legitimate help to some other tracker in one way or the other.
By being temporary, but occasional, it also filters people who barely visit the tracker and spend minimal time on it.
Also, most bad users can be easily filtered by their country.

OpenBSD has the issues discussed on the GNU website: their ports system contaibs instructions on how to obtaij nonfree software. And the kernel contains nonfree firmware.
By doing the latter, it makes the deal with the devil, without warning the user. (Note that by devil, it doesnt imply the BSD devil, could be a meru cosplayer)

>Mozilla produces free and open-source software, but the binaries include trademarked artwork. The GNU Project attempts to keep IceCat in synchronization with upstream development of Firefox ESR (long-term support versions) while removing all trademarked artwork and non-free add-ons.

>The term "ice weasel" appeared earlier in a line which cartoonist Matt Groening fictionally attributed to Friedrich Nietzsche: "Love is a snowmobile racing across the tundra and then suddenly it flips over, pinning you underneath. At night, the ice weasels come."[12]

>Debian was originally given permission to use the trademarks, and adopted the Firefox name.[13] However, because the artwork in Firefox had a proprietary copyright license at the time, which was not compatible with the Debian Free Software Guidelines, the substituted logo had to remain.[14] In 2006, Mozilla withdrew their permission for Debian to use the Firefox name due to significant changes to the browser that Mozilla deemed outside the boundaries of its policy, changes which Debian felt were important enough to keep, and Debian revived the Iceweasel name in its place.

>Subsequently, on 23 September 2007, one of the developers of the GNU IceWeasel package announced that the name would be changed to GNU IceCat from IceWeasel in the next release, so as to avoid confusion with Debian's separately maintained, unrelated rebranding of Firefox.[3] The name change took place as planned and IceCat is the current name.[9]

RAM is fungible and easy to make, meaning its customers are price sensitive, and if it's easy for you to make it's also easy for a competitor with 1000x the scale to outproduce you

nowadays RAM is getting more 2.5D meaning they stack the layers high, so it's not as easy to produce as it once was

Let's say you are on a deserted island. You have 100 people. How do you decide who does what? Who should gather wood, who should look for food, and who should look for water, etc? With just 100 people you might get by fine by just telling them what to do, but what if there are 1000 people? 10k? 100k? Millions? Billions?

Capitalism is the decentralization of this decision making process. In other words, every dollar is a vote which you can use to decide where the total productive capacity of our civilization can go.

This itself causes many problems, but these are not what I want to bring up. The primary issue is that people will use their votes to acquire more votes. And, the more votes you have, the easier it is to acquire more. The natural end state of capitalism is a small group of people controlling all of global production. They want yachts, you make yachts. They want ram, you get none.

This is the intended goal. You will own nothing.

All in all thank you all for the responses anons. It's always interesting to hear this stuff from people closest to it. Would you say that in general this state has been a net positive for you?

I don't think I committed more than 10 lines of code for the duration of my contract. Currently working as an apprentice in solar panel installation and it's hella fun.

I bet AI is like the patsy in a spook organisation assassination (a little bit like it). Oswald didn't kill JFK and the AI data centers probably are not suddenly buying tons of RAM. JFK was killed by Israel and the US spooks were happy about the assassination so they covered it up. Similarly (kind of), the RAM oligopoly is artificially limiting the supply probably.
