I've seen Palantir employees in Charlottenburg while visiting Berlin in 2023 ;) They are not as invisible as you would think. They'll wear clothing from Patagonia with the branding

I would love to honestly. I've learned some Gregg, but the short forms mess with me.

Guess what! You'll get an even worse job if you don't have a college degree!

I think the emphasis on dissent in left wing spaces can make it easier for such antisocial individuals to gain at least some influence. Some ultra-leftist places, I know they won't describe themselves as left wing but who cares, will behave in the most corrosive ways imaginable. Often much worse than shit you'll see on certain right leaning imageboards. It really seems to increase the more people hold on to ideas of correctness, or appearing correct, and purity.

Same, I am worried about humans using ANNs to kill people. Current society is a gigantic apparatus that is constantly shifting shuffling responsibility around. LMMs only accelerate the problem.

I see where this is coming from, but what happens online is a real force. Aside from material relationships between employers, employees, landlords, renters, the majority of people nowadays get politicised online. As for discourse itself, easily more than 80% of it happens online.

You're lucky to be in a scene that doesn't about superficial things like aesthetics too much.

And don't get me started on the people who describe themselves as autistic (who might be in fact of course be autistic) but will throw anyone more autistic than them under the bus. Same dynamic with the stupid debate about the lumpen proletariat that was one of Engels' – the great man who gave us Dialectics of Nature – (many) bad ideas beloved by him.

To be fair to Engels, he was an outstanding journalist.

It seems to be a general theme that people don't trust them, but it's especially heartbreaking that otherwise inclusive places will discriminate against them the worst. Left wing scenes are socially coded against "dorks," so the people who become popular in these scenes tend to be on the bully side of things in my experience. Reactionaries use this very dynamic to recruit outcasts of all sorts.

I wouldn't completely disagree with what you're saying, but ThinkPads are absolutely still the most reliable laptops you can buy in their respective price range
