It appears you are unable or unwilling to answer my question: which country, US or China, is closer to Mussolini's model?

Define technofascism lol.

Fascism was laid out by Mussolini in the 1920s - it amounts to the idolatry of the state.

"All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state." B Mussolini

Also defined as Corporatism: the union of state and corporate power.

Which country do you think is closer to Mussolini's model ?

This smells like a humble brag, driven by strong ego; count the number of 'I's in the post. I reckon the author is just as rigid in conversation as they always were, but now they can add "ego free" to their self satisfaction.

yes, whataboutism at its finest

They compared the acquisition to hospitals because "think of the children!"

Maybe denial is a river in Egypt, but I (most of the time) believe that the glass is half full and we will need MORE humans as LLMs gain in ability. My thesis:

1. most jobs are created by small to medium size enterprise

2. the throttle for new SMEs has been people, money and ideas, in that order

3. with LLMs being a force multiplier, fewer technical people are needed but some people still ARE needed

4. with less throttling, MORE SMEs will be created with more jobs - they will be able to do more, faster, but still need some human oversight.

Also, what is the point of software if it is not to serve human needs?

Also, in open source, community building and tending is a very human enterprise that will not be replaced by bots any time soon. So, as coding becomes commoditised, perhaps the soft skills backed by technical knowledge will be the complementary skill that increases in value.

Or, maybe it's time for me to become an itinerant folk musician.

My R&B cost used to amount to buying the occasional Al Green album, how times have changed

The day ROCm supports EVERY AMD card on release, just like CUDA does, is the day I will actually believe this marketing hype.They really dropped the ball here, also when they abandoned recently released cards (at the time) like the 400 series. Hopefully management gets their heads out of their butts and invests more in the software stack.

if this is on a credit card you can get the money back from the credit card company for "undelivered goods"

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

1. do randomized control against *inert* placebo 2. measure net health benefit over 10 years

If #1 and #2 look good, by all means roll this out.

"powerful company enables genocide in Gaza" first sentence flags this as a complete load of malarcky
