They're calling it the biggest bubble in US history, bigger than the dot com bubble of the '90s or any other bubble. When it pops, it will likely be disastrous. When will it pop?

BreakingPoints - REVEALED: Sam Altman's OpenAI Is 'MONEY LOSS MACHINE'
>>

 No.492828

Remember what Marx taught us: all value is socially necessary labor time.

In American capitalism the company market cap justifies that companies existence. So a company like OpenAI can grow without actually producing value. Because what value do they actually produce? Data-centers are run by themselves for the most part, and there are very few AI researchers who are pushing the tech truly forward. Most of them are probably at universities and not working for OpenAI, even though I'm sure the latter has a team of phds.

The point is OpenAI is buying up computer hardware and plugging it in, but they aren't hiring hoards of workers to perform any work. Since there's very little labor being exploited they won't be able to make a profit.

The commodity OpenAI is selling is their service to actors in other industries to enable super profits by replacing labor. Super profits are always temporary though, and only last as long as it takes competitors to reproduce the same labor-saving tactics and thus drive down the socially necessary labor. In the case of AI (when it actually happens) this is likely to be a very short transition in any given industry. Furthermore since none of this has actually been proven to reliably replace labor yet, it's being driven entirely by speculative investment. The drivers of the AI bubble have probably less than six months left to produce real results on their fantastic claims before the investors pull out and the bubble implodes.

Oh, and I should add: The moment an open-source generative model emerges that can fulfill the same fantastical claims that the proprietary researchers expect their generative models to fulfill, their entire business model is cooked since it relies on licensing fees to turn a profit. But again, this predicates on the extremely charitable scenario where the results of their "AI" aspirations are genuinely revolutionary in reducing human labor.

Luigi Mangione’s pretrial hearing has concluded with a bombshell from Luigi’s lawyer:

The cops lied and made up that Luigi’s mom said “it’s something she could see him doing.”

She never said that. They fabricated this statement to try to implicate Luigi.

Janta Ka Reporter did an interesting video on this. It's very weird that the Bondi Beach attack comes after Australia tried to blame a random deli arson on Iran (using only the Mossad as a source), which didn't seem to convince much of anyone, and after more than one zionist false flag has been identified in Australia. And, once again, zionists have rushed to accuse Iran, which has zero motive, and to immediately try to use this incident to cast blame on anti-genocide demonstrators, as Australia has been the site of some massive protests which the Australian government, itself in bed with Zionism and the U.S. imperial agenda, has held a great deal of resentment towards. This all as "Israel" continues to commit mass murder in Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria at much higher numbers.

It's very bizarre how every time there is some manner of attack in a "western" (western European or western European accessory) country, there is immediately an extremely aggressive zionist campaign to use it to draw attention away from their own crimes, and to demand that people who had nothing to do with it be even more suppressed.

The death count now stands at 15, with 40 wounded.

Islamists are a "false flag" in that they are trying to play the bullshit game of causing blowback against more Muslims to radicalise more Muslims towards "rising up" the point isn't to really cause terror, but to cause retaliation and crackdown against "moderates". Same tactics Zionists use to stoke antisemitism to get Jews to become more supportive of Israel.

That really does not appear to be what's been going on in Australia, and some of the Australian incidents have been traced directly to Israel.

The last Bondi beach incident iirc was essentially some junkie which someone had recruited to go and do an arson at a random deli. Using only Mossad as a source, the Australian PM blamed it on Iran, but few believed it. This time it's reportedly a Salafist pair (anti-Shia extremists of the kind the US and "Israel" have supported in Syria, and who Iran has opposed), and the narrative being pushed by zionists is much the same.

I'm also old enough to remember that time at the start of this year when someone went on a shooting spree in New Orleans with, apparently, an ISIS flag on their truck - and it turned out to be a soldier stationed at Fort Bragg who was apparently a recent convert.

There was also that zionist Arab (IIRC) immigrant who went on a murder drive through a German Christmas market at the end of last year, and had his identity not been revealed and his leanings understood, the wave of propaganda which immediately followed in order to try to paint him as some kind of Muslim extremist (he was anti-Muslim) might have been more successful.

Praxis and theory set aside, is there any literature dealing with what exact material conditions are required to start a revolution?
I'm learning and I am really interested in what exact conditions could predict the chances of a revolution happening, and what would predict the chances of it not happening and being hindered.
Are there theorists better at this and theorists worse at this? Thank you!

I've heard it asserted before that the Gini coefficient measuring inequality is a good predictor of revolution. But I have to say I'm pretty skeptical of attempts to calculate this parameter in past economies without the kind of data we have in the modern era.
