@p @Nimbius666 I'd say eschew the Marx of (most) self-proclaimed Marxists, but don't throw the baby out w/the bath water - good pieces to scavenge -

@p @Nimbius666 Marx has glaring shortcomings in his thought (especially wrt LTV and certain economic presumptions) & his most notable adherents failed as well -- but I think part of the problem is that we take more modern (i.e. mid to late 20th century) Marxists at their word that his work is a singular, monolithic, coherent system of thought with clear correct interpretations.
Taken piece-meal, I think there's a lot of value though, especially in regard to concepts of commodification, reification, and estrangement/alienation -- basically I think the guy had more value on a traditional philosophical and even psychological register rather than economic or sociological. -

@sun
I am horrendous at programming/coding and just picked it up as a hobby to create twitter bots long ago (when the API was open. smdh) -- but one thing I made that
The most "elegant" (in theory) thing I created, and am still proud of despite its abject failure:
Was teaching classes online to European students during late covid (lockdowns in some places were freaky long) and they insisted on using a horrendous, university-approved zoom-knockoff that couldn't do basic things like attendance. Wanted to make a simple script that could copy and paste page content to do attendance, track participation in group settings, etc., but make it minimal as possible and pluggable into excel where other student records were. Problem was that there was redundant content, the page layout varied a lot, and the page changed through the session & it required copying/pasting sometimes more than once as the lecture went on -- all of this required more script than I wanted.
At the time, I got really interested in Gรถdel numbering thanks to a friend, so made this simple script that assigned prime-numbers to strings, multiplied everything in the copied text to take care of redundancies, then it was basic division -- unfortunately it turns out that excel has maximum numeric magnitude & I needed a super computer.
Worked in very small classes w/little activity & holds-up in theory! -

guess it's time to give it a spin, see if the wait was worth it, or if time has taken its toll -

@sun @dammn bigger fear of mine are the cultural & psychological effects of AI-based automation more than economic consequences -

@sun @dammn keeping jobs as they are & never letting them evolve/die away when they need to is dumb, but yeah, frictional unemployment can be extreme enough to cause social unrest โ very open to transitional programs to easy pain & mitigate community disruption -

e.g.
1. True rebellion/anarchy - I want all walmarts burnt down
2. Revolution - I want all Walmarts replaced w/[vague commy food & retail goods distribution system]
3. Satanic - I want Walmarts to be so they may burn -

Bataille has this 3 part classification of resistance:
1. True rebellion/anarchy - resistance to overthrow the order of things
2. Revolution - resistance to establish a new order
3. Satanic - resistance is in spite of the order of things & yet affirms its hold / inevitability -

Reactionaries, far right-wingers, fascists, nazis, etc. are often particularly satanic in this respect (or maybe, more honest with themselves?): The goal isn't to win insofar as it's to punish. There's more glee in discussing the punishment/loss of enemies than the ideal state that's supposed to follow. -
