  • Electric motors and encyclopedias are irreplaceable in weapons. All electronics are used in weapons.

    Farming, fishing, and electricity inherently degrade our planet far more than AI. They should all be used sustainably, wisely, and with an eye to ecosystem health and future generations. You’ll get absolutely no argument from me there. Banning any of them or limiting their access to only the governments and corporations who are doing almost all the damage, is insanity.

    When it comes to IP theft, that is a huge, non-ai problem. Again, corporations are responsible for almost all of the damage and we reap none of the benefits, even before AI was ever introduced. The problem is with how we allow corporations to copyright and restrict things for generations.

    The solution is that AI, the technology that required all of humanity to contribute knowledge for it to exist, should be free for all to use. Why would IP theft be a reason to limit AI ownership to only corporations and governments? That’s completely backwards.






  • Thank you for the break down. I really appreciate the context. I’ll add mine from this end.

    Oreo, though also a cookie full of hydrolized nut-fat and sugar, can be a pejorative term for a black skinned person who does the bidding of white supremacy. This term is usually reserved for those who do it in the less directly violent ways. So think, a black man who only hires white people because that’s what his boss demands, or because he himself is racist towards his own people.

    He would be “black on the outside but white on the inside”. Which is why an Americanized pronunciation of “Orebro” makes me think of the techbro fascists, “Libertarian on the outside but Nazi on the inside”, who also pretended to be one of the working classes.

    I enjoyed this cultural exchange. I think cent-bridge adds more depth to the tongue in cheek usage of Orebro, as tech bros do indeed pretend to build infrastructure, but the infrastructure is cheap and does not serve people well. It is merely a facade to fleece dollars from us. Fucking orebros.
