No, they have no idea how fucking clownishly stupid they sound because most of the people spouting nonsense are from the “philosophy is useless” crowd.

Predictably — because philosophy is ineluctably tied into anything we humans do — they start attempting to use philosophy when they need to rely on it, but have no tools to do so. Utter garbage then spews out.

This is what I mean by persons from these regions should be blacklisted from entering the West, as these people will inevitably re-engage in the same "cultural practices" of human exploitation.

Kubernetes as a project is a reification of developer indecisiveness and incompetence

Sysadmin types generally don’t write much software, but the equivalent in our space would be some poorly-maintained unreadable 2,000 line batch file written in 2002 and still being used today.

Kubernetes is what you get when devs get their wish list and then can avoid responsibility or accountability.

Forbidden Knowledge

Ignore whatever the topic is.

This censorship by AI is extremely bad. It prevents research from being done. It forecloses off entire areas of knowledge. Forbidding even researching discussions that occurred in the past is deep, deep evil.

This makes me want to destroy AI and the AI companies despite their obvious utility if this is the way the future will go.

This is another variant of liberal spreadsheet fetishism. In other words, it does not matter what you think, what you feel, or what your actual experience was. If a lib can “show” something is not always true using a spreadsheet, that completely invalidates your experience, Iryna Zarutska’s murder, or anything else they find inconvenient or non-ideologically-sound.

Spreadsheets are their place of worship.
