It actually mattes what shitty “analogy” he uses, because he’s implicitly endorsing prohibition and its ongoing, extreme violence. It’s a typical hegemonic tactic to normalize state violence. Dude is an alumni of the nytimes ofc. This is literally his whole career.

Another shill for the NYTimes… Check their op/ed pages. Full of worthless libs saying dumb shit.

He won the nobel prize for economics and was one of the few sane voices during the great recession.

There is no nobel prize for economics. It’s an even phonier prize made up by bankers. Even if there were an actual nobel, that’s no reason for believing anybody’s opinions far outside their realm of expertise (eg. krugman here).

More importantly krugman has been consistently liberal trash since forever.

If someone says that their grandchildren are perfect little angles, you don’t say “well, actually, angels are divine beings who don’t dwell upon this earth Grandma,

Nobody is murdering angels in the global south. This perspective is a privileged delusion.

The victims of prohibition are real people who are actually being violently attacked.

You do know that the entire rest of the article never mentions drugs ever again

Because the headline is clickbait bullshit… because the author is a grifter.

Paul Krugman is a nobel-prize winning economist who used to have a column in the NY Times.

Aka totally discredited.

The “nobel in econ” is as much of a fraud as econ in general.

Anybody who knows this goofball knows not to listen to his crap.

Only if they attack unrelated people that the racist orange rapist doesn’t like.

The usual bullshit Krugman clickbait.

Krugman is a worthless hack. Sensational headline with implicit endorsement of prohibition is a prime example.

Edit about the “nobel”: Everybody who’s talking about this “nobel prize”. There is no nobel prize in econ. It’s a phony award made up by bankers. That’s how pathetic the pseudo-science of economics is. They need to make up their own fake awards for relevancy. So please don’t tout the phony awards of this pseudo-scientists. I could make up an award for flat earthers but that wouldn’t legitimize flat earthism.

(And even if there were a nobel for econ… Who cares about awards if the underlying “science” is still trash?)

But it’s framed in terms of “quantum” and “AI” so WOWOWOWOWOWOZZAZAXXAZAZOZOAA MAGGGGIIICCCCKKKK!!!

People can hate on OP and I might be an idiot too… But font sizing is one reason why I switched from Gnome (on Ubuntu) to KDE Plasma (on Debian). I had setup Gnome/Ubuntu for an older friend and I was really bummed by the difficulty of increasing the fonts/icons. With Plasma it’s just basic settings.

Wow China is full of grifters and rubes too? Capitalism is the same everywhere.

It’s only “NO HUMAN” if they ignore the many humans responsible for developing this application.

But that’s totally normal in the griftosphere.

If governments had no money to be directed by some central strategy,

You mean the central strategy of creating the money, imposing capitalism, and violently enforcing extreme privilege/deprivation?

it makes sense that libertarians are usually very vulnerable to the AI hype

Because they’re already disconnected from reality and worshiping an obvious pseudo-science?

I‘m waiting to see it falling down to 50k.

Yeah, if you look at long-term averages, this is a realistic buy price.

“AI” <—> “AI”

Meaningless grift fixed by meaningless grift? Sounds like peak grift.

These creeps finally found a way to automate their bullshit.

TBH this isn’t entirely on trump since obama/hilary put this guy in power with a fash coup.

The exploitation of latin america is a “bi-partisan” plan.

If it really was AGI,

Even worse when it’s a glorified auto-complete.

Don’t spread this bullshit propaganda. This article promotes the “Christian genocide” conspiracy and obscures the recent attack on muslim students (thus making it appear as more attacks on “Catholics”). Islamophobic imperial disinfo.

Nigeria: ‘Christian genocide’ or a crisis of narratives?
