Soon to be a few trillionaires and a thousand billionaires

Now with LLMs to provide extra security (not)

LLM is avoided by many experienced developers and competent medium and small companies.

Tools like cursor are sometimes ok for small things like people learning, or to generate boilerplate.

But it is seen by some as a warning flag when it’s in source code for larger projects

Maybe you jest, maybe not, but scams and bad actors will be a required milestone for popularity

I have envied people who are fully aware and alert and ready when they wake up.

For me, it takes longer than a few minutes

The term confuses me in politics: it seems to have too many meanings; and even the agreed definitions are flexible.

Historically, democracy only allowed free males who were land owners to vote. A minority.

In the last few generations the wealthy have come up with clever ideas to hold onto power while expanding the vote to the majority.

So, I think Democracy is defined by periodically changing some of the government by the voting of some people. And the votes must be counted in front of witnesses.

This is my definition of democracy only; and not me arguing for it, personally I don’t think it works well enough

Yes, as practiced it’s mostly theatrics and the working class does not take power due to many controls and mental conditioning.

Democracy gives the illusion of control.

But many of these countries are by definition democracies

Yes: As long as people can vote, kick the other government out, and replace it with worse, maybe better.

I think where the confusion lies at, is the very definition of democracy. Democracy does not mean good governance or even particularly fair treatment. It had nothing to do with socialism or helping the disadvantaged. It simply means it can be replaced using voting.

I think the democracies of the west are overhyped oligarchies; but they are democracies

One is a quickly developing powerhouse.

The other is a democracy. It’s main opposition party had promised to allow porn again and is wildly successful

This tech we all use is advancing exponentially.

And we must be ready to embrace the dizzying changes in the next few years so that we can improve our lives and have better governments.

Noo…!

People know instinctively when they are dating up, down or have impossible dreams.

The reasons for that is as varied as there are people, but we all have primate brains and are hard wired to select partners using criteria that can be and are amazingly flexible

So, universal monk 1; outraged commenter 0

What is the worst they have done ?

I want this superpower; I’m too honest though

They are not so bad… mostly harmless

When it gets to 7%, is that when there is more malware designed for Linux desktop ?

Listen to the wise politicians:

Woke weather agitators will send our glorious nation to heck.
