    Relying on “AI” is just like shooting yourself in the foot while on angeldust.

    It doesn’t hurt now, but you lost your employe… I mean foot, and you still need to clean it up.

      Shhhh don’t tell them, European bank are introducing AI in their process want to see capitalism fail ? Let some dedicating AI manage that. Then when it broke they have nobody to fix.

          Yeah man. Rob the world, sit on the spoils until your oligarchs get restless and then release them on a “new market” (see, new victims). Based af /s

            Oligarchs? Thats the angle you want to play? Europe has the most Democratic institutions on earth. They’re a beacon in a world brimming with autocratic nightmares.

              Yeah, and most of the fucked up shit in the world is majority the responsibility of European settler colonialism. I’m from the states and most of the fucked up shit in this country is because y’all sent all your fucking wackjobs over here in the 16th and 17th centuries. Africa, the entire continent, is still fucked by all your colonies.

              Like, don’t get me wrong, you’re sitting pretty. But the cost of all that pretty sitting was bore by the rest of the world.

                Idk who tf actually needs to hear this but:

                1. Columbus died in 1506 my dude

                2. Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.

                The higher a country places on the democracy index the better off all of its people arem

                  Columbus did in 1506

                  Yeah, and the last colony was freed from European control in… oh wait. Oh no! It looks like that hasn’t happened yet.

                  Other dates to consider

                  1994, the end of South African Apartheid

                  2023‐current, intensified Israeli genocide of Gaza

                  Ongoing, cold war between Pakistan and India over the Kashmir region

                  Ongoing, Sudanese civil war

                  All that and more are current or very recent geopolitical conflicts that directly descend from European colonial ambitions and violence.

                  Everywhere on earth throughout all of history humans have been awful to each other.

                  A thought terminating cliché that lets you wiggle out of thinking about the impact your continent had and continues to have on the greater world. If you really think this way, you’ll never understand how the world works or how we can work to better it for everyone. Which is a huge disservice to both you and all of humanity.

                  Neglecting the evil Europe has done just so you can focus on the positives you have is exactly how y’all got into the colonizing business to begin with. Had to go wrestle control of the world away from those savages who don’t know how to run things correctly. It was for their own good, ya see (and for the profits)

                  Also, Italy, France, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, England, and Russia are all countries that are currently or are courting with outright fascism/authoritarianism. Maybe we think of that before you declare yourselves the beacon of democracy with no peers in the world, yeah?
