IT WAS like a tide surging onto the beach and then ebbing, leaving wreckage behind. The vast majority of the tens of thousands of would-be migrants who began rushing into Ceuta, a small Spanish exclave on the north African coast, on July 30th returned to Morocco within 24 hours, having found nothing to eat and no prospect of reaching Europe. Discarded shoes and shirts still litter the bay. A few thousand migrants remain, mainly sub-Saharan Africans and minors, as does a heavy police presence. Yet though the immediate crisis is over, the clash it triggered in the European Union will leave scars.
Crisis? What crisis? These are the New Europeans, ready to work and pay taxes!
The surge almost doubled Ceuta’s population of 84,000, briefly overwhelming the town.
You mean almost doubled Ceuta's GDP and left the local government coffers overwhelmed with tax funds for social welfare.
The extraordinary images prompted panic across Europe. Italy, backed by Denmark and Finland, said it would suspend co-operation with Spain in the passport-free Schengen zone (in the end it imposed minor spot checks at ports and airports). Sweden’s prime minister, facing a tricky re-election bid next month, said “2015 must not happen again,” a reference to a huge migration surge into Europe that still haunts governments.
Why is this bad? Since mass immigration boosts GDP shouldn't Swedes be hoping they can have another 2015 every year? 🤔
Europe has long experience of such migration blackmail. In 2008 Muammar Qaddafi, then Libya’s dictator, secured billions from Italy to keep African migrants away; two years later he warned an audience in Rome that “tomorrow Europe might no longer be European and might even be black”.
Great replacement theory! Yikes! 😬 Thank god Hillary and Obama took that racist meanie out and turned Libya into anarchy and open air slave markets. You can buy a slave now for as little as $400: https://www.humanrightsresearch.org/post/the-scandal-of-a-slave-market-in-libya which is much less (inflation adjusted) than old time Southern plantation owners had to pay! Now THAT's progress! 💵👦🏿👦🏿
Most shamelessly, since 2021 Belarus has flown in Middle Eastern migrants and sent them into Poland and neighbouring states. Regarding this as an act of hybrid war, in 2021 the EU strengthened its sanctions on Belarus, an ally of Vladimir Putin.
Wait what? Why are they mad at Belarus?! Belarus is just trying to help Europe fund its social welfare with more young workers who are exactly as productive and law-abiding as old stock Europeans. If anything, they should be thankful the Belarusian people are so idiotic that they don't want to grow their own economy!
In 2015 politicians in Germany or Sweden who saw hundreds of thousands of Syrian and other migrants reach Greece understood this would soon be their problem.
I thought Merkel and Friends were happy about it? What happened to Refugees Welcome and Wir schaffen das (We can do this)?
He didn't "do nothing", he applied marxist praxis.
Meanwhile in America you have retards parroting "we can't expect the wealth of the past, we must accept the new reality". People that will never realize their ideology holds them back because they've been convinced they don't have an ideology, that they are above it.
They will mortgage their life to buy a certificate from colleges, and then the admins and professors will take their $100,000 and the bankers lending them the money will take another $100,000 and they will use that money to buy thousands of drugged up fucks with those men's wives, mothers, and daughters.
🤓👆 —It's worth it because my code has soul, not like those stupid machines! Businesses will line up to pay me a 6 figure salary, pay for my health insurance and rent for office space!"
Then they graduate and have higher unemployment rates than HS grads. One day they decide rolling over and presenting their anus to another man is worth it to pay off the student loans before they grow bigger. Poor guys will moan as their anus breaks and lose it's taughtness, and they'll hear their wife moaning in the next room as she does her part.
It's sad and disgusting. But why does it happen? The most delicate and intricate part of the body is the complex synaptic wiring in the brain. When a fine tuned system is mix-and-matched randomly with a foreigner, it almost never comes out equal or better. It's just a mess of random wiring. Add in cerebral melanation and people will proudly sign up for indentured servitude.

There's no meaningful way in which humans aren't just an autocomplete algorithm either.
You've been asked before to name any meaningful difference that would make a human brain special that a machine isn't, and you can never actually find one.
inb4 you say "stateless" again, or any other number of arguments that has been refuted 3 times before.

Altman didn't create transformers, and that's not the only AI company. You could even run your own model.
Irrelevant anyway, if I found out AC was created by a gay jew, do you think I'd toss it?

Let me stop you right there: the very first sentence of all you just wrote is obviously wrong. You don’t do anything other than autocomplete sentences?
That’s obviously stupid, you don’t have to use words to think in the first place. I can think without using words.

LOL, I didn't say I was a pragmatist, I said you don't understand pragmatics.
The meaning of words changes depending on their context, that's how language works in all languages. How that meaning changes is dependent on the language.
"Yes" doesn't mean much on it's own, but has a distinct meaning depending on what the other person said before it, that's pragmatics.
You can't defend your claim that humans are doing something meaningful that machines can't do, so instead you are trying to use a gotcha when we both know the context was comparing human and machine language. Or you genuinely can't understand pragmatics (meaning in context) because you have severe autism.

LLMs are autocomplete algorithms by definition. Humans are organisms. How fucking stupid are you? Is a rock a tree? This argument is based on something that’s obviously stupid. A human isn’t an algorithm, an algorithm is an algorithm and a human is a human. A human is bad at being an algorithm and an algorithm is bad at being a human. What kind of moron are you?
Write out a syllogism, because now it sounds like your argument is that we would use a different name for behavior that we saw in a machine and organism.

You've been avoiding the question every time for months.
I am happy to play along with your questions, but not endlessly, and not when you refuse to engage with mine.
And you ask a question to see if I can list something, and then decide listing something is proof I'm lying? That's not a real rubric, you change the rules as you go.
My standard was just list one meaningful way a human brain can make code that a bot can't, if it's super obvious that shouldn't be hard. But you've been completely stuck on that one for a long time now.
Asking me to say how I'd implement a button push is pointless if the moment I do you just declare that any answer doesn't prove anything.
