@jlou This is why private property of all kinds is theft, renting capital that is the product of your own labour as either an individual or a group replicates exactly the problematic part of capitalism: the assumption of ownership over a porition of someone elses labour because you lay claim to the capital. Have you read any Proudhon? Also money is bad because it makes capital accumulation inevitable, but thats maybe a different topic "The horror is the firm not the fact the firm has a boss"
Leftists, we need to talk about AI

The UK government saying "delete old emails" to save water. 🤦♂️
Most emails average about 50k of storage even for someone who gets a lot of attachments, and will have exactly zero effect on data center consumption.
"Don't use cryptocurrency" and "don't use generative AI" would of course be thousands of times more effective.
@MichaelTBacon The #LabourParty has stated they want to "mainline #AI into the veins of the country" https://www.theregister.com/2025/01/13/uk_government_ai_plans/ and apparently labour is "four years on, Labour is the party of business" https://labour.org.uk/updates/press-releases/keir-starmer-speech-at-labours-business-conference/ aiming to contrast leadership under the more left wing #JeremyCorbyn before #KeirStarmer's leftist purge
