Yes I believe it's basically the same. You're just collecting protein from soy milk when making tofu.

I've made my own tofu and it is not a big thing with many steps. Soak beans overnight, blend beans in blender, cook resulting slurry, strain, add coagulant, place in container and apply weight.

It's about the same amount of work as baking bread. However it is not cheaper than buying tofu from the store unless you can find very cheap soybeans.

That's a fun prompt, thanks.

I think I agree to some extent, but I think there are two parties involved: investors, and AI researchers/tech CEOs. Investors want to replace labor, or at the very least, want to own the thing that does the replacing. Nothing could be more profitable in the short term (but hugely detrimental to them in the long term). The AI researchers/tech CEOs are the dreamers who are trying to create a god and then somehow harness its abilities, or hold a mirror up to god iirc Indy's metaphor. They'll use whatever money they're handed in pursuit of that goal.

How do we justify replacing labor? I for one don't want to work in the way I'm being forced to, so I'm fine with the idea of not working. However, income/merit/benefits must be uncoupled from work first. Forgive the following civ reference, but we're not far enough along the civics tree to handle this kind of technology. I think Indy is right that we'll need to wait for crises before people want to change. That is a very annoying trait humanity appears to have.

Is it like a deal with the devil? I don't know, but isn't this what we always wanted?

I'm almost through the episode. Anything in particular you want to discuss?

Well you're on a forum open to the general public, so there's an element of PR to everything everyone says. You're not in a private chat or hanging out with like minded friends irl.

Then why have political opinions at all?

Yeah I would do the same. Were you the only parent to do that?

Not celebrating the death of pawns does not mean I condone what those pawns are doing. I'm not putting their lives above the people they're killing. You're making a lot of assumptions about me if you came to that conclusion.

I'm not celebrating the deaths of working class people who have been coerced/manipulated into carrying out the imperialists' and capitalists' objectives. Am I sad when they get killed? Perhaps a bit.They shouldn't be where they are and doing what they're doing (They probably didn't even think they'd see combat when they enlisted, nor have they considered what role the US military actually plays in the world). Am I enraged when brown people are killed for absurd reasons? Yes, extremely. It's disgusting that is allowed to happen.

So yes, when an American solider dies, it's still a tragedy, and I'm not going to celebrate that (especially when there's some freaks in .world looking for bad .ml behavior to put on display).

Yeah I know, that's gross too

Okay if you're not going to sway hearts and minds then what's your plan?

You think so? I guess you're right, I'm not forced to participate in this vile capitalist system because I can live under a bridge.

The whole fucking system in rural America all but coerces their enlistment.
