Micromot

The edited version also looks a bit like from a video game like GTA because of the colors.

I love the idea, the photo also kinda looks surreal in the first place

You’re right, didn’t know there were that many elephant mascots.

Sql, it’s the elephant from Postgres PHP , I don’t get the joke anymore

The marxist form of communism abolishes states as well, but the workers have to take over the means of production first before they actually have power over the owning class.

Cuba had a very hard time due to the US sanctions and the CIA. But they showed that it was possible to be communist without losing quality of life.

East Germany for example had great LGBTQ rights much earlier than most surrounding countries. Probably because they had a much easier situation than cuba.

China is just capitalistic in their doing. You can see that from the way housing is managed there and how they sacrifice quality of life for the good of the owning class.

No states is also the final goal of marxism, it just describes a way to get there. We have seen that striking is very effective if done properly, so it makes sense to connect the power of the ruling class to their ability to control the workers.

What we need to learn from existing socialist/communist nations is how they achieved the revolution and what went well. We should also learn what causes undesirable outcomes and how we can prevent them from happening.

There really isn’t a need for a new form of communism if marxism already exists and matches a lot of the things you are asking for.

Dismissing past socialist projects is not very helpful to actually achieving socialism/commumism. Even though they weren’t always ideologically clean they still had a lot of aspects of a socialist economy.

Socialism can also be laid out it different strategies making the definition not always be completely accurate. Cuba and the USSR were big steps in the development of socialism and its theory.

The workers didn’t really own the means of production so far but they often had strongly improved lives during socialism. Look at the healthcare system of cuba or the rapid improvement of living conditions in the ussr after lenin took over.

A lot of the concepts capitalism is based on are deeply flawed which is why a weakened version of it will still lead to some of the same problems.

The last paragraph of the screenshot is problematic regardless though.

On the small scale the good faith approach works. But on the scale of the linux kernel it would have minimal to no effect to ban AI contributions.

For the code quality it’s better to enforce proper reviewing and checking of the code instead of banning specific methods of producing code.

Banning AI is as enforceable as banning vscode.

I myself don’t use ai in general and I despise the attitude towards ai of some people in the community but I don’t think banning ai on this side of the problem has any effect on the code quality and the way things are contributed. I think ai needs to be regulated on a government level. Like removing datacenters or financing of ai companies, which both can also be done on a local government level.

I think AI needs to be regulated on a larger scale. The tools need to be restricted if you want to stop people from using them.

Putting up rules against tool use without making access to the tool more difficult are worthless.

Putting up slop PRs doesn’t have to be intentional from the authors side.

How would you check commits for AI use if it is not mentioned anywhere? How would you enforce anti-AI rules?

You can’t really control the use of tools though, that is the problem. AI detection doesn’t work and leads to a lot of false positives. The only thing you can do is check if the product is good.

AI is horrible for the world but it is impossible to ban it for coding, as you can easily submit AI generated code that looks human.

He is not comparing the effects that tools have but that you can’t control if someone uses them or not.

The only way I see for controlling the way AI is used, is if the AI companies put restrictions on it.

If you ban AI, the vibe coders will just lie about the origin of their code.
