A lot of these people went out and committed crimes during the pandemic and would not wear masks, even when masks would have helped in evading recognition by security cameras and the police. Pettiness or personal inconvenience or a skewed cost benefit analysis may not be the real problem: they're polarized in a completely opposite direction from us, and at their worst, they actively seek to harm society and the people in it.

From what I have gathered in conversations over the years, during the next pandemic, if and when a biological threat emerges that is severe enough that we will actually have to mandate masks or vaccination or quarantine, that many will start shooting or committing other acts of stochastic terrorism, or interfere with public health in other malicious ways. I've heard enough threats amounting to the same already. A lot of them are far fucking gone, and only going to get worse.

... the big plan for the near future, our grand strategic vision; a vision shared amongst the thought leaders of the West, is entirely predicated on Chinese people not figuring out how to make computer chips

As Marxists, we must carefully investigate all technological advance, especially those in computation, and of cybernetics we must be most curious of all.

Computation is at most the symbolic record of the movement of a thought through time. The best an AI can ever do is recording and playing back the process-of-thinking to us, and in the case of large-language-models, this computation produces works that will always pale in comparison to the minds it was trained upon. In spite of any psychic qualities that may be assigned to the electron, our silicon genius can never actually be a Sibelius or a Riemann.

Those fundamental limitations of computers, however, will matter little: the consistent history of the misuse of new computer technologies, by the capitalist powers, for controlling individuals and populations, confirms for us that the repression and social deterioration that we collectively experience will reach unbearable heights in the days to come.
