Why would the gentry harm expensive cars? Those would be their own cars.

It just isn’t possible, and we should want to dumb down the introduction too much. The Fediverse is not a centralised medium, and to participate in it, its users should understand that, analogous to how you would instruct people before using motor vehicles. Some things are just essential and need to be taught. Not teaching the stuff doesn’t make it disappear. If some people cannot get behind the idea, then either find novel, intuitive ways of conveying it, or just accept that they cannot be a part of the Fediverse.

Many families in Germany face a precarious future, and your dismissal of the concerns of young people will definitely not make them more reasonable when it comes to the election. There are enormous financial challenges for a lot of Germans, and unlike in the U.S., White people are just as much affected as all the others.

No. Education will always remain the way out of poverty. And regardless, no “AI” can replace actual programmers at present. Their code and code quality are entirely unreliable and not suitable for serious, production use. They may be sufficient for hobbyist applications, but for software that is actually getting deployed, LLM outputs vary too widely, and you will always need experienced programmers to monitor them and correct errors. Also, an AI can not come up with a coherent design principle for you, the individual modules and moving parts it spits out will invariably fail to work together at scale. Creating software is much more than just churning out code. It requires advanced reasoning and specific knowledge, and AI is not there yet, and who knows if it ever will. All companies that are firing (or not hiring) programmers over current day LLMs are going to fail.

No, ACAB is not a reasonable worldview in the first place. It’s very ignorant and intolerant. A society needs police, and most policepeople are good and sincere human beings.
