Popular support is needed for a revolution to happen. But striking even on a smaller scale is steel still a very effective way at gaining larger action from the population.
Earlier you said risking being thrown in jail was something revolutionaries should do. What do you mean by that and why would it be more effective than going on strike?
Its a serious question though. What about wearing socks throughout the timber floor house? If you don’t wear docks you get dirty feet, if you wear socks you get dirty socks
Striking is the bread and butter of revolutionary activity. The February revolution in Russia was a mass strike that escalated to a point the state could no longer control it. What do you think revolutionary activity looks like?
You are right, people are striking less now than they used to which is a major reason why things are getting worse: cost of living increasing, wages stagnating, the rich getting richer etc.
We need to unite as workers and strike, not vote, for the conditions we deserve.
Those damn commies ruined everything again.
Strikes have given you basically every working right you currently have, if that’s what doing nothing looks like then I don’t know what to say.
I think his hat and beard are pretty cool!
How are all those things you just described not how neurons turn inputs into outputs? Of course a brain is greater than the sum of its parts, so it an LLM. LLM’s aren’t black i/o boxes either you can read the values of each individual neuron and it’s connections. I still don’t understand how brains can be more than just a collection of statistical predictions. It’s not magic, they still function according to the mathematical world we live in.
oh wrong post lol I’ll delete it…

I watched that with subtitles on and now the work “billion” looks like it’s spelt wrong.
Why is it halo? I don’t know the lore.
What unions? Union membership in Australia has been falling since at least the '70s (source). The press is almost always anti union resulting in some of them being legally dismantled when they ask for too many rights. Such as the BLF. The unions that remain today only ever go on strike as a last resort, when conditions are dire.
Regardless unions are able to go on strike because they take away something bosses need: workers. When workers go on strike profits for bosses fall immediately and bosses are forced to do what they need to get workers working again.
Politicians don’t have this leverage. Political parties must do the bidding of capitalists in order to maintain donations to fund their advertising campaign. The capitalist class owns virtually all media and have almost complete control in terms of shaping peoples opinion on the current government. Politicians can’t implement policies that benefits workers at the expense of the rich.
Not to mention authoritarian countries stand up to corporations they don’t support.
I’m going to assume by “authoritarian” you mean socialist countries such as Vietnam, China, Cuba etc. These countries have the ability to stand up to corporations because they are truly democratic. The press of our capitalist country (I’m Australian too) has told us these country’s are authoritarian because they pose a social order that competes with capitalism.
The reality is that these countries are able to stand up to corporations because their government is ruled by the working class, not by the capitalist class. This is also why these countries consistently make decisions that benefit the working class at the expense of the capitalist class. Decisions such as cheap or free healthcare, immense poverty reduction schemes, increasing wages etc.
No politician, older or younger can make change without permission from the ruling class. In the case of capitalist countries that is the capitalist class. A younger politician won’t change the fact that the capitalist class forces them to do there bidding for them.
Our brains are made of neurons which on a fundumental level is just a prediction machine that turns an input into an output. All those things you stated, self awareness, thoughts, reflection, are a result of emergence from having many many neurons. LLM neural networks are just much more simple than human brains and also don’t evolve over time (outside of training).
This isn’t the boomers fault, what did they do? There is no reason we can’t get good pay and cheap groceries now, aside from capitalists knowing they don’t need to anymore.
How are human brains any different?
Distillation is very different from pushing the boundaries of AI research and developing a model that is better than anything before it. Even the article above said that modern models can distil other models to a benchmark.
It looks like they are going to need to close the straight of Hormuz harder.
Also I can wait for Nvidia’s stock price to completely die as soon as this becomes mainstream.
