  • This would only make sense if there was like a literal gun to a person’s head and a dog’s head or something. Which is a ridiculous scenario that would never happen. You can be against battery farming without putting human lives at risk (in fact you’d actually save a lot of lives since battery farmed animals are responsible for antibiotic resistance and a massive vector for disease).

    “I think human life is more important than the life of a non-human animal” sure, you can hold that opinion without resorting the ridiculous hyperbole. At least present a reasonable argument for that point.

    Basically zizek-theory


  • Cockshott is a TERF, but Towards a New Socialism is basically a techbro pipeline. It shows how you can use what are essentially financial algorithms (based on Gosplan production matrices) to implement a planned economy.

    So basically the only good use for ““AI”” models. I think this guy specifically is a good example of the beginning of that pipeline. This is one of the first times he’s explicitly brought up Graeber, but his video on money was definitely influenced by him. Seems like he’s not too far away from making it more explicit that his concept of automation is based on socialist theory.
