Yes?

“Matrix” is the protocol.

The equivalent is ActivityPub, not discord, fluxer or stoat.

We do.

This is for activitypub DMs.

How so? It’s certainly very similar.

The matrix protocol enables federation between different instances running different homeservers between users using different clients.

Eventually.

But the problems were more along the lines “oh no, it’s so powetful, it’s becoming god”.

So, you think she should live in physical and mental agony, so dad doesn’t have to be sad?

If it went like that, if her dad ever emotionally matures enough to feel the guilt of forcing her to do that, the mental hit he’d take would be a million times worse.

At that point, not only would the daughter be in pain, it would be his fault.

None of this involves self-diagnosis. You can’t just ask for assisted suicide. Like others are commenting, in countries that allow it, the process is rigorous.

I’m referencing events in the show.

Except in the show, AI actually solved problems, instead of causing them.

This is biased, since I started it, but: !gameart@sopuli.xyz

Haven’t posted myself much lately, but it’s kept trucking along with neat posts from other people.

I see you don’t need more convincing.

Dungeon Meshi has one of the more populated communities on Lemmy, !dungeonmeshi@ani.social.

It’s mostly just fanart as we’re between seasons, but the episodes discussion threads are likely to be quite active again once the second season starts.

Yup.

It makes you think about not just where you point it, but everything it might “slice” as you handle it.

Or even how you set it down, or move around one sitting on a table.

Yes.

Essentially always pretend there’s a deadly and infinite laser coming from the muzzle.

Bad enough to replace actual people with AI fakes, but maybe let’s not have them puppeting the corpses of the dead, yeah?

He was gonna teach her gun safety, with a loaded gun while not respecting trigger discipline or the laser rule?

I’d say that’s “a likely story” but the man’s a Trumper so it’s exactly the kind of stupid I’d expect.

That’s not quite right. Our sun has never gone nova, and is a fairly young main sequence star. It’s still in the first “main sequence” of fusion after accumulating from scattered matter. It’s heavy enough to do fusion, but not heavy enough to really “properly” go boom at the end (or to have done so in the past).

While novas form heavy elements, the originating star either becomes a neutron star or black hole. Sol, our sun, is a a “normal” star (though above average brightness) which means it won’t properly go nova. It’ll just “burn out” and become a white dwarf.

The matter ejected by a Nova flies out into the universe and falls in the gravity wells of other Solar systems. So our heavy elements likely hail from millions of other past stars.

Wut?

Alchemist and Battlemage cards were fine.

Edit: oh no. It’s a pivot to AI compute 🤦‍♂️

Why does, not taxing moving money end public funding

Because eventually everyone is below the “wealth cap”. Which means no-one pays any further tax. Why would anyone accrue more wealth at that point?

Okay, it can be 2%, and this is enough.

If we’re taxing all transactions, then yes, sounds about right.

Because when the government owns everything, that means the people in government become rich.

Are you suggesting we privatize everything?

Wealth control means giving them the wealth, and not owning by the government.

Ok, but how do decisions get made then?

Government are systems. Just because you change the structure, doesn’t make it not a government. It sounds like you want better government, not “no government”.

Which I agree with.

The fuck do you mean by “wealth control”?

Are you referring to UBI?

It sounds like what youre sctually arguing for, is an asset cap. Where any property above a certain cap goes to the government.

If the cap is 10M, how do we fund UBI, infrastructure and emergency services once everyone is below that cap?

Current economies are powered by the movement of money. So we tax the movement of money. No-one gets anything without spending their assets in some way, including the rich.

You are suggesting that taxes would somehow work better, if we taxed value that was sitting still. Which isn’t entirely false, but you are also claiming that taxation of moving money should be ended entirely. Which simply won’t work. That would eventually lead to the end of public funding.

You cant fix loopholes without taxing all billionaires until none exists, because they will constantly bribe government. Even if you fixed loopholes, they will create intentionally.

Exactly. How is your proposal a solution?

Of course assets have value. But to tax them fairly, that value needs to be defined! Impartially, too boot! And can you imagine the governmental overhead of constantly defining the values of shifting assets for tax purposes, regardless whether they are being bought or sold?

Your suggestion is as exploitable as the current system. Maybe worse!

They are already doing this. 'Spending faster than they earn"

Yea. I said that.

as many “milllionares” do

you are still thinking like income tax

What do you mean by income tax? Because clearly you aren’t understanding what I mean.

I mean ALL income. Of any kind. No loopholes. The problem isn’t conceptual. It’s practical. The law hasn’t kept up with the bookkeeping shenanigans the rich get up to. In fact, the rich actively influence current legislation to their benefit.

You’re arguing for a complete conceptual shift for no reason, when the actual problem is corruption.

What’s really needed, is just look at how the rich are avoiding taxation, and closing the legal loopholes they use. Which your “wealth tax” won’t do. Especially as “wealth” doesn’t actually have a value until it’s bought or sold.

And would a “wealth” tax not have an inherent loophole in that the “rich” could avoid paying tax by simply spending faster than they earn, or even staying in debt, as many “milllionares” do?

And would it not punish poor people who try to save up, by taxing them more the more they save up?

Would it not make renting vs owning even more of a problem? Poor people would be encouraged to rent as much as possible in order to have as little “wealth” as possible? While the rich could continue to charge whatever they want to cover the costs.
