CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@woe2you @stux I know ... but in the defense industry you can see to which "technological wonders" and fruity competition government overspending can lead.

@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

@confusedMiddleAgedDad @Daojoan maybe that's what finally differentiates us form AI ... irony and daytime depression. Or we just need to star training a model from scratch.

@Daojoan that's because we don't have down-to-earth LLMs writing linked in posts in a shitty/depressed mood.
