Math education in the empire is TERRIBLE. There is no actual math taught. At best it's applied analogies like this pizza BS. The teachers have never taken any advanced math so they don't even know what they're not teaching. The goals (eg. calculus) are completely worthless. The entire system is stuck in the 1700s. It's a complete failure. It's intentional too. The goal is creating obedient, little computers not critical thinkers. That would be a threat to the system. This image is just the tiniest tip of the iceberg.

Infinite money. Capital wants infinite money for their imaginary property in perpetuity. Otherwise they'll get their state to put you in a cage.

"AI" is not the new NFT because "AI" doesn't even exist. It's a far bigger and far worse grift. Sure, some dummies wasted their money on jpgs of monkeys. But nobody used NFTs to murder palestinian kids, spy on society, steal our data, outlaw regulation, etc. No amount of shitty generated code will redeem that. Ofc this delusional myopic article has nothing to say about this.

"AI" is a far worse grift than NFTs.

I've had great rides... But the problems are more like underfunding, overpricing, underavailability, etc.

When someone's ideology is an imaginary oxymoron, they can say whatever they want.

Socialism and communism are not when the state does stuff.

Socialism/communism is workers owning the means of production. This is exceedingly rare and constantly attacked whenever it exists. Almost every state is overwhelmingly capitalist. That's a primary purpose of the state.

Programs doing what they were programmed to do. But there are no "AI agents" smh. No need for the bullshit hype.

Have rich parents, pale skin, etc.

Makes sense. The kind of dude who asks "AI" how to pick up women at a protest is exactly the kind of dude that women at protests would avoid.

Godel is a mathematical result, not a scientific result. It only applies to science to the extent that it depends on mathematics.

we live in a simulation but it is so perfect that we’ll never be able to find evidence of it

This is not a mathematical statement and thus it's irrelevant to Godel's theorem.

Newtons flaming laser sword says that if something can’t be proven, it isn’t worth thinking about.

This is pseudo-science without mathematical or scientific basis.

Science as a body of models will never be able to prove/disprove every possible statement/hypothesis,

Yes, because science doesn't "prove" anything. There is no "proof" in science. Just experiments, evidence, etc.

that does not mean it can’t prove/disprove every hypothesis/statement that actually matters.

Yes, it does mean that science can't prove stuff because that's not how science works.

It's completely misleading to conflate mathematical proof with scientific evidence. Math/science education is truly terrible, especially in terms of epistemology. The system doesn't actually want people to question or think.
