and
that things are going to get a bit rough for a while.

I'm trying to promote (in my own little world) that making polititions accountable is one protection against rising fascism
thanks for this

I have this idea
AI, are set to attain certain outcomes
and
They do that in whatever way that works

SO
rationality, fairness etc
Which are values embedded in human societies to maintain social stability.

This is so on point for me
This is how we frustrate the fascists

"What I'm proposing is a much greater emphasis on decentralised, non-profit community-controlled services and facilities rather than those which are directly controlled top-down by the nation-state."

It still interests me to how little anyone seems to care about International Men's day.
