Stephen Fry released a statement: "Elon Musk is not a Nazi. Nazis make really good cars."
  • claim that fascist are dumb, stupid and can achieve nothing

    I seem to have struck a nerve. I wonder why this bothers you so much?

    Fascists are great at: bullshitting, terrorizing and thieving. Fascism is catabolic. It is organized crime with the aesthetic of a political movement.

    Obviously that's not the image they present to population of the regions they take. But you knew what I was claiming they are incompetent at.

  • I get what you're trying to get at. But I'm talking the developed material wealth of a region. Actual physical infrastructure like rails, mines, factories, universities and everyone with the required education and training to run all of it.

    If the victors of the first war received the dividends of that real infrastructure- that matters right up until the moment that they don't anymore.

  • Dismiss what? Fascism is catabolic. They can't build anything. They can only loot until they run out of victims.

    The projections of hyper competence and secret knowledge are part of their branding.

    Stop being a fascist apologist.

  • Small country? They were a highly industrialized, highly educated and still quite materially wealthy colonial power going into the wars. They didn't need to be competent. Enough people went along with them and there was plenty of residual wealth to burn on the war machine.

    You don't need to be an architect to burn down a building.

  • Why are we in an AI arms race? What's actually at stake?
  • No. We are not.

    With typical capitalist efficiency, the titans of industry are going to boil off half an ocean in an ignorant attempt to simulate a human brain that requires what, about 2 kilowatt-hours of relatively clean chemical energy a day?

    Never mind there being no shortage of said brains.
