It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Why would I want to watch/read something that someone else couldn't be bothered to write?

[–] Tachanka@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

technically an uncountable number of people wrote it, since, for AI (statistical machines) to even function, it has to draw on human-created and human-curated sample data. So everything an AI "writes" is really just a statistical rearrangement of stuff humans had already written. AI is constant capital, which is a form of capital. And capital is dead labor which feasts on living labor.

Unions are a valid party that's part of the free market, dumbfuck LIB. You claim workers should have no rights, yet you benefit from labor EVERY DAY. At least when people say "muh iphone" my politics come from a place of gratitude for the workers that made it possible for me to shitpost online.

How is a capitalist system supposed to work if an entire class is WORKING FOR FREE?

My lib buddy was saying he doesn't give a shit about the entertainment strikes because they don't really work hard or create anything necessary to live, but he supports the autoworkers because they actually make things that people use everyday. I had to point out that he doesn't own a car and watches hours of TV everyday, so in reality the writers/actors provide much more to his life than the autoworkers do.
