My positivity varies, honestly, the world's rough right now. But the thing I keep coming back to is to realize how many of us are actually on the same page, as much as they've tried to divide us and keep us divided, controlling even the information we see, most of us are all still ultimately seeing almost the same things. We're not divided on the things that matter, the things that are real. Most people hate AI. Most people hate what the tech companies and billionaires are doing. Most people hate what the government fascists are doing. Divided we fall, united we are unstoppable. They have not managed to completely break our grip on reality, and it's that same relentless and unstoppable reality we all see that is showing us that we are all in this together, that we have more in common with each other than we do against each other.

Money, democracy, government, police, nations, these are not physical constants of the universe, they are just collective decisions we've made. If they've been corrupted, and I think they have, then they don't have to continue to exist in the shape and form and traditions we originally made them in. We made the rules, we can change the rules. They continue to exist as they are because we all agree they do. Without our active agreement and acceptance, they mean nothing and they will have to adapt to civil pressure or die. Together, we can change them. The powers that be will not like it if we decide to change them, and they will quite probably try to use violence, but try is the operative word here, and if enough people are on the same page, and we can get enough of the people they would use to implement that violence on the same page, it won't even matter, and the violence probably won't even happen. Revolution does not have to be violent, it just has to be united. Unite the people, and this can all change. Sure, there will likely be some violence after all, but we have to accept that there already is some, and people are already dying in concentration camps and in wars that are far more pointless than the struggle to take control back of our own futures.

We have ended kingdoms. We have ended slavery. We have ended segregation. We can end this.

The revolution will not be televised -- in fact it can't be. The revolution is taking place at dinner tables, in workplaces, in conversations between real people interacting with other real people on a daily basis talking about how much they hate and are affected by what is happening right now and how much we all want it to change. It doesn't have a manifesto, it doesn't have a leader, it's not scheduled at some date and time, nobody is pulling these strings, and yet I think it will happen just as inevitably as anything as long as people can stay united about the change we want to see in the world. A lot of the masks have been pulled off, and we can now see people and things for what they really are. Dispelling these illusions is painful and frightening, but it's also necessary for real change to happen.

Yeah one thing I immediately find offputing is kimi registration options - it's phone number or Gmail. Why? Why not any email?
That's why I'm likely going GLM. Also I'm shocked how cheap deepseek API is.

If they don't do that for GPT 6 when it lands, we'll know it's just retaliation for the whole thing where Anthropic didn't want to give the US military unrestricted access or whatever (as they claim anyway)
