In Finland news:

Finnish national news is doing its wholesome “would you look at our great defensive alliance”-posting in the English section of the news.

But they don’t forget to add a bit of ominous scare mongering:

According to the Commander of the Lapland Air Wing, Colonel Saku Joukas, the jets and their crews are prepared for anything — even though the mission is a routine one for Nato.

Some Finland news:

Incidents involving unauthorised access and damage at water towers in Finland received a lot of publicity last summer. According to Hakala, it is now quite certain that Russia was not behind these.

“Some of them are under preliminary investigation by the police, but our view is clear that there were no sabotage attempts by Russian proxies,” Hakala says.

It is likely that the water tower incidents were cases of ordinary vandalism, says USU.-

There has been frantic consent manufacturing going on to fuel the fires of war and when a garden chair gets blown over by the wind, there is wide news coverage on how Russia did it. Far smaller are these follow up stories a year later where they have to admit that Russia definitely did not do it.

I’m not arguing for anything and did not suggest that putting things in boxes is good or bad, but that it just is what we do.

And that these models just do the same, but with more abstraction.

As a sidenote “putting things in boxes” is the very thing that itself upholds bourgeois democracies and national boundaries as well.

I think this distinction is interesting because if the product of AI is classification it is just a more abstract method of continuing to do the very thing we have been doing for a long time with other statistical methods that fragment data into sets of whatever we wish to draw boundaries to. Essentially it sounds like intensified and far more depersonalized categorizing.

Thank you for the input, I agree that they at least seem closely coupled. But on a system level these systems are different and are producing very different results.

Do we then think this could have been developed anywhere in the capitalist West just as well?

Is not the logic of what sort of things labor power is used on and what projects get implemented affected by the system a product is made in? Would this startup get funded in a capitalist country and is it based on profit as much as the ones we have here? Why is the financial grift missing from the final numbers.

Could this be considered a living example of a production difference between a system focused on profit and a system focused on use value?

I know China is participating in profit making, but the cost difference here is so gigantic that one would think this makes people see the forest from the trees so to speak.

“a red-blooded male”.

It is kind of shocking to me how the ruling class pretends it doesn’t understand what a lucrative business disability has always been and how the service sector around it is one of the remaining things keeping capitalism standing in the West.

3. and 4. are true for sucdem Finland, but even here number 3 is slipping away fast now and 4. is only partially true on the sanitary pads (only done in some places).

This reads like the list of what the US advertised to be many decades ago.

Related to news. The national news of Finland has taken the time out of their Russia = bad focus to tell us plebs that Rednote is bad and heavily state controlled and nobody should use it.

Seeing a status quo maintenance piece about the TikTok ban and Rednote is a great example of the vassal state status that we now occupy.

Edit. The source our state media is using on this is China Digital Times.🤡

They have a label plastered all over their newssites that claims them to be “responsible journalism”.

You know what, I’ve decided to become angry at this. I am going to turn the few shitty paperbacks I have by this guy to our sauna kindling.

When the Sandman series was a thing I ended up in a stuggle session with Gaiman stans on Twitter because I thought the depiction of Despair in the series was utterly violent towards fat people. I was told I just don’t get it.

I have always felt that I am missing something about the books of this literature genius because to me the books are mediocre at best. And I kind of felt like an outsider for it.

Turns out this guy is the monster that is hidden in plain sight in between the lines. And while I am against book burnings, I will burn these books. For all SA victims like myself.

I am so tired of how the world we live in keeps making stars and celebrities of the worst of us. Imagine the stories we could have if they were written by good people. I don’t mean some goody two shoes type of good, but people who are kind, have solidarity towards others and do not glorify the darkest impulses of humanity only.

Same. I get the same unease with Pratchetts apparent love of violence that is very similar to Gaimans, he kind of revels in the meanness in a similar fashion. It’s like the author makes these types almost into heroes of a sort (teatime is an example).

And, his treatment of womens bodies tends to always be very pathriarchal. I despise the way he makes points of women being only of interest to men if they are thin and conventionally hot (young). I get it was different times, but once you start noticing it, it’s everywhere. I still listen to the stories every night as my audhd sleep aid, but certain books I will not touch anymore and almost all have parts that make me feel very uneasy.

I always felt this guy was sus af because when I tried to read his stuff he revels in mean violence in a way that made my skin crawl. Not to mention the way he treated fat bodies, it’s always a red flag. The objectification and dehumanizing is right there.

The really disgusting bit to me was the way he hid behind neurodiversity as an explainer for being a monster, like this guy threw an entire minority under the bus to justify his actions. It is similar to the way celebrities have tried to hide behind behavioral addiction (not real) as a justification for horrible behaviour.

Also isn’t it just nice how the society we live in keeps raising people like this? How many does it take before people realize that there is something wrong with both these people and the system.

It’s wild to me that even though we see images like this all the time, many still fail to understand that these people are not on their side. That they are the same and they are on the same team.

Isn’t it telling how they focus on the lost homes of people who have several homes.

Landmarks and luxury and tourist areas.

And productions of shows.

The situation of normal everyday life and people is but a sidenote.

Afaik the DCA that the ghouls signed at least in Finland made it so that these fuckers are entirely untouchable.

So the protection will probably mostly have to be staying out of their way like you say. Can be pretty difficult as at least Norway has reported drunk driving accidents too.

Truly interesting times.

I want to print a t-shirt that I can wear around all the natohawks that says something like: “Feeling safe yet? Who is annexing who you bootlickers!”

Also nobody had probably raked the forests.

Imagine having an existance where this sounds like a world you want to build.

I assume this person to be just deeply broken, because this is so far beyond any dystopia anyone has ever written and then there lives an actual human being who would want this.

I think Tate should be studied, as some sort of horror of pathriarchy personified (and Musk, Peterson and all these types). These are like the most violent fantazies of a very immature mind, not that I necessary think immature is a good word for it, because kids are far more ok than these people.

This will definitely happen. We will see these people walking head on into lamp posts because “muh liberty”.
