@PinoBatch all comes down to financial capital ... in the end the big banks decide whats possible
@woe2you @stux I know ... but in the defense industry you can see to which "technological wonders" and fruity competition government overspending can lead.

So Compute Vendors welcome OpenClaw with open arms, since it leads to their overdimensioned data centers to finally becoming a bit more profitable, therefore they push end consumers to install and run it, even if they have no plan on what todo with it, so OpenClaw hits random APIs of SaaS companies and sends queries to models increasing their resource usage. This is all so fucking insane.

OpenClaw Conquered China in 100 Days | Why Cloud, Model, and Device Players All Embraced It

OpenClaw’s rapid rise in China was not just a social media frenzy. Cloud vendors saw new inference demand, LLM startups found a distribution channel, and device makers saw the next execution layer taking shape.

Hello China Tech
@stux In discussions with neolibs I rather encounter the argument "the state can't deliver quality healthcare, it would all be bureaucracy and long wait times" or "it would remove all competition out of the healthcare sector and things will get worse and worse" or even better "you will take the right of people to choose to pay for the healthcare they want". On the other hand the US government has a fracking expensive military apparatus driving up markets, competition and technological progress in weapons manufacturing while literally nobody (not even their congress) has a say in what they fracking use it for. One would think these guys see the contradiction. But never saw one realize it.
@peterdutoit and the EU, as well as its nation states, seem to focus on the opposite
@donni the troubles began, when the capitalists figured how to use the internet for exploiting us even more and got the powerful in to regulate and control it for their advantage

@petergleick I mean ... most of the western world already undermined the authority of the ICC by simply not caring about the arrest warrants for Netanyahu ... the US still holds effective world power, no country would even bother too reply to it. I guess most nation western nation leaders would event criticize the ICC for the decision.

So on the one hand, ICC would undermine itself with it. On the other: Maybe that leads to more people seeing through that our institutions are just succumb to the goodwill of the nations that hold the power.

These two sentences are in consecutive paragraphs:

> Lobster tail is apparently a favorite of Hegseth’s Pentagon—the department spent more than $7.4 million total on the luxury item in March, May, June, and October.

> Weeks later, millions of Americans would lose their SNAP benefits amid the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

@SecureOwl haha, my first thought was a security incident
