Even if that were true, the Dems lost because of their strategy which was based on not giving anything to the left.

It didn’t work for Hilary, what in the hell made you think it’d work for Harris?

The brain-dead take is that companies should explore new technology. Without any qualifiers on it (i assume there aren’t because you didn’t add any and you applied it to ai). That’s how we’ve ended up with such a huge amount of waste, pollution and theft from small independents.

Even if we just narrow it to the field of AI, the waste and environmental damage from just this kind of tech is just absurd.

Let’s add to the downsizing ai causes, the pathetic service disruptions and inevitable decline of a company’s reputation from using such a thing and its nothing but a waste.

Wild for a company that’s never made a profit

Nor should what they produce be copyrightable in any form. Even if it’s the base upon which an artist builds.

Also, it should all be free.

The fundamental problem is all those results are on people with abnormal brain function. Because of the corpus calusotomy.

It can’t be assumed things work that way in a normal brain.

People do make up things in regards to themselves often. Especially in the case of dissonance. But that’s in relation to themselves, not the things they know. Most people, if you asked what op did will either admit they don’t know or that you should look it up. The more specific the question the less likely to make something up.

Funny thing is, that the part of the brain used for talking makes things up on the fly as well 😁 there is great video from Joe about this topic, where he shows experiments done to people where the two brain sides were split.

Having watched the video. I can confidently say you’re wrong about this and so is Joe. If you want an explanation though let me know.

Or, the words “i don’t know” would work

Tbh i was late to the hate. Wasn’t it run or sourced by ground news? Was it inaccurate or something?

To you they aren’t, but to the right wing they are.

I’ll need some sources on that one.

We are already at risk of that. I don’t see what your point is.

Then this conversation is pointless if you won’t acknowledge the risk of it

Given the popularity and successes of NASA, the USPS, NOAA, etc, I think you are being overly pessimistic.

None of those things are direct propaganda tools.

The second they start having to put maga posters into you mailbox and nobody else’s you’ll see it differently.

I think what we’re running into here, is that you want to talk about removing capitalism. Which I’m all for, in the context of a functional democracy. Which isn’t the case in the US or anywhere in the world.

Until we know what that looks like, and its parameters you won’t admit how bad nationalising a search engine is without other privately owned alternatives.

How is it not currently a propaganda tool? It’s owned by shareholders like blackrock and vanguard. At least with it being nationalized it’s possible to control it democratically

It is somewhat, but it’s not as bad as if it was run by Trump and co.

Which is how x would become the whole internet.
Which is why the best option. Which you didn’t include, is splitting Google up. Split the advertising from search. This is the surest way to make them cater to us. Especially if we can force them to compete with other search engines.

That hasn’t been the case if you look into what happened with Microsoft and browsers.

The other thing is

everyone would still use Google.

Is actually wrong, and what they proved with the antitrust case itself. A huge chunk of the anticompetitive activity was Google paying to be the default because people don’t change the default.

The idea stems from the propaganda tool that would be if it were state owned. Other countries would seriously discourage or ban its use, but as it is useful they’d need a replacement. Hence a thousand shitty ones.

That’s not in anyone’s interest. It’s the surest way to have a thousand national search engines which are all shitty. National walled internet Gardens etc

Break it up instead

Just simulate a school and you’d place first
