I think the term fits fine. The surpluses go to the owners of the means of production (barring "state capitalism" I suppose). These surpluses are actually the true value of the workers' labor that the owners take, which is why I think capitalism is immoral, but that's not really related to my point. The system incentivizes the owners to maximize these surpluses, which means paying the workers as little as possible, and charging customers as much as possible. I.e. the system incentivizes greed.

Social democracies are absolutely better than unchecked capitalism, but it's my opinion that they'll never be able to stop from regressing (they have been, as I understand it). Because of the owners' place in the hierarchy and outsized wealth and influence, they will always be able to push governments to their benefit, and then it just keeps snowballing as they gain more wealth and influence. Admittedly, very strong unions can counteract this, and were responsible for them becoming social democracies in the first place.

Great. Now we have barred-out LLMs.

Nah, it's fine. As another commenter pointed out, owner said so himself:

it’s not much of a loss for me, I make £6-7,000 in my sleep.

Yeah, those were the problematic cases they highlighted. Image/video generation usually involves generating many permutations, perhaps adjusting prompts, and just keeping/editing the parts they want. The Trump video is likely made up of many edited clips from many different prompts, after discarding many more, not just one prompt. The song may be one prompt; haven't played around with music generation myself.

If you're not port-forwarding, only peers that are port-forwarding can download from you. And you can only download from peers that are port-forwarding. There can be times where a torrent only has a few seeders, but they are not port-forwarding, and if you're not either, you won't be able to download the torrent.

OpenAI released much more impressive demo videos last year, and I think Sora is available to the public now. I don't think most proprietary models/systems allow you to use public figures though, so it's probably an open-source system.

I actually think it's more targeted toward the Andrew Tate and Fresh and Fit follower types, and the propaganda does appear to be working on younger men, who are rapidly becoming more "conservative." They're extremely insecure in their masculinity, and think the subservience of women would be affirming.

Of course, it actually just hurts everyone, barring the people that benefit from keeping the working class divided.

It appears they don't exactly condone Russia, but blame NATO for it. Kinda disappointing. I think they're the 2nd largest socialist org in the US.

PSL are Marxist-Leninists. AFAIK, they are legit, but I'm more of an anarchist.

Just tried it, it has very similar results as Bing.

If you're running a lot of stuff on the same server, I agree with others that you'd want to use containers or VMs to avoid possible dependency hell. I prefer containers so I don't have multiple OSs using RAM. I've never used Proxmox, but if I understand correctly, it's an OS specifically built for running containers and VMs more easily, so I'm guessing that'd be a good choice. I personally just use Ubuntu LTS or Debian, Docker, and SSH to administer my servers, because that's what I'm familiar with.

A cheap used Desktop PC off Craigslist or whatever should be fine. Desktops are more upgradable and configurable. You'd want to make sure the CPU and Mobo support however much RAM you'd want. Ext4 is fine if using a single disk; ZFS for multiple disks with redundancy. Preferably, a smallish SSD for the OS disk, but not required.

Jellyfin for serving media. You may want something like the cheapest Intel Arc GPU for transcoding if you're going to serve HDR video to low-spec devices.

Nextcloud for basic file sharing. NFS for high performance file sharing with Linux machines, if needed. Syncthing for syncing files if you need that.

Immich for something similar to Google Photos, if needed.

Also if they can’t afford that, surely they have state medical insurance

Ha! No, depending on the state, there are tons of barriers, means-testing, work requirements, mandated classes they might not be able to attend (due to childcare/lack of transportation), etc.

Even after the ACA, ER visits are still all the healthcare many people get.
