While I'm sure your ideas, although obviously not original, are tied to idealist concepts, they ultimately don't make it off the page and have be proven to be bad ideas.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

At least you tried to study it! Keep it up! I would say this is even more basic economics than that.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

No, it's literally the definition of value. I see you are so very stupid as to not be able to make any point without resorting to the name-calling of a 5 year old.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Suggestion of solutions, lmao. I suggest you are being disingenuous.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

I would say the comedy was lacking. Have you done the most basic historical research of socialism? I would guess that what you would prefer is actually a social democracy.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Wow, you missed the whole point. You are deciding that something is sexist based on market value. How are you determining what the "real" value is? Ironically, by artificially inflating some people you are disadvantaging others.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Lmao, it's not an opinion, you can literally look it up, probably on the government website!

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

What does this have to do with water usage?

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

No, it's literally how the world works. It's easier for people to think that people who are "higher up" than them don't just provide more value.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Have you thought that maybe it is a genuine question.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

That's a sort of lazy analysis, humans are a species with greed, it's an evolutionary trait as it is beneficial. Our current society has money as a way to transact. Enlightenment is acquiring knowledge based on criticism as opposed to a call to authority.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

You sound like an AI, literally no intake of new information. You didn't even read what I said, probably because it's counter to your narrative.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Please, look up the cost of a launch for NASA pre and post SpaceX and see how many billions of dollars it is saving that state.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Can you prove this? Pretty sure the algorithm is open source, so should be possible for you to do.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Do you understand that where something is from does not dictate its efficacy? You miss the central point, who determines who is underpaid and how do they have a better metric for attributing value than the market? There are better ways to help people than interfering in market pricing. Tax etc.

300

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

That's an extremely lazy and non-productive suggestion

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

That's not really a suggestion

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

This is not something to celebrate. Who is determining the value of someone's work? We have something called the market which already determines value. If there is an opportunity for value, the market will do this. If someone needs support, you do not do this by artificially fixing wages.

300

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Tbh, none of what you said makes any sense or is at all relevant to my reply.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

You have a pretty big experiment in the USSR. Just think through it logically as well, what has afforded you modern life, the computer you're using? Have you been to any of these post-communist countries, Romania, Russia, spoken to people? Research modern social democracies good system examples.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Every state is under attack, this is not unique. Check history.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

You realise people voluntarily give other people money because they provide value to them. You are proposing a system where some central authority determines the value of everything, that is insane, and also proven to be a terrible idea. The website you're using is a copy of a billion dollar idea.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

It's still better than communism

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Nah, this site is way more of a bubble, I use both.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Government invests in what will benefit society. You don't get the money back directly, it creates goods and services. If the gov subsidises farming, the farmer doesn't give you 10% of every turnip, you get cheaper / more reliable produce.

110

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

You realise how the economy works? It's demand created by the market, you're creating that demand right now by using this website.

110

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

This is dumb, data centres are among the highest value per unit emissions. Why are you not calling for higher emissions industries to be stopped? You realise you're using a DC right now?

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Do these posts actually achieve anything? Wouldn't it be better to propose solutions?

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Data centres are probably some of the highest value per unit investment.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Because they believe it's undervalued?

010

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

These people only look at inputs, not outputs.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

You're complaining about government contracts? Do you know what the contracts were for and how much Musk's companies saved the taxpayer? Look at cost of launching rockets pre and post SpaceX.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

X has like 10x more users btw, also BlueSky is a massive bubble. I use both sites.

AI is the new electricity

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Have you used AI to code? It's the norm now, it would be detrimental to not using, like using pen and paper instead of a computer.

200

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

You have no idea about coding, this is the norm and the future. You are calling for a ban on tractors so people can continue tilling the fields. It would actually be unethical to make people do all this boilerplate work which can now be automated. Please stop using a computer, go back to writing.

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

That already happens, these are for training and running AI models in a large part.

020

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

One is for recreation, one is productive. The website you're using is coded using LLMs, the moderation no doubt is done with LLMs.

There is no such thing as an ordinary worker, a CEO is a worker.

@environmentalfest.bsky.social do you know of any similar organisations for games? I've built a game to teach people about nature and get them outside. Link: playanimalis.com

000

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Just try coding yourself, you obviously haven't. I have made an app within two hours that people started using it would take days otherwise. Sorry, but you have no idea what you're talking about.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

You realise people have been arguing against new technology for hundreds of years. You are the equivalent of someone being anti-railroads in the 1800's. AI and internet are not separate, this app is coded using AI, the algorithm runs on it, no doubt moderation is done using it.

200

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

You're using a data centre right now. The market determines value. By using this product, BlueSky, you are increasing its value.

100

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

I did not say it is energy, it's an analogy.

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

You might like my game, it only exists because of AI vision model technology, wouldn't have been possible a year ago: playanimalis.com

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Firstly, are they being built in secret? Probably because public perception does not align with reality. Note, you're using a data centre right now. They are equivalent to the railroads of the 1800's.

200

Robert @rcwhiteley.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

China has 4x ppm pollution than the US lol. You realise AI is the new energy, if the US falls behind China, it has massive economic and defence implications. Plus much of the data centre narrative misinformation is from China itself, do the calculations yourself.

It's the market, Anthropic is one of the fastest growing revenue companies of all time. Your head is in the sand. Human calculators worked perfectly well before computers were invented, you're being a luddite.
