Can’t wait to watch the “blue no matter who” and “I have a fixation on the genitals of trans folks” crowds duke it out again in a rigged election system.
We keep trying to appeal to systems and mechanisms that have been compromised for years by corrupt politicians, judges, and other figures taking payoffs from tech companies.
It will work this time, bro! We will get an actually just judgment! I know it! Just try once more!
Yep, that’s why the super mainstream organizations putting marches together are always suspicious to me. They get their funding from somewhere and the overarching goal is never 100% clear. Often times it’s good people at the center that aren’t aware of the ulterior motive behind the ones bankrolling it.
Even smaller orgs can be easily manipulated. They often don’t do any real research on people before giving them access to internal information that they could easily send to whoever they are working for. It’s something I wish more activist and other organizations would invest their time into.
Mobilization is the spark; organization is the fire. If you have the first and not the latter, you’re not moving the needle. Governments love mobilization because they can co-opt it. They can waste people’s energy via constant mobilization without established organizations.
The trick is giving it tons of context. It also depends on the LLM. Claude has given me the most success.
My take:
Welcome to your new life! It’s nice having such a lightweight OS that isn’t constantly trying to send your data to every advertiser on earth. I love the peace of mind. Pop_OS is a good choice too! Even as someone that has been using Linux for years, I still go for the it-just-works-out-of-the-box distros.
It’s absolutely amazing to me the lengths this administration will go to lick the boots of Israel—a country that has been actively carrying out a goddamn genocide since the 1940s. Zionists are the scum of the earth. They rival the Nazis.
Lol their first AI instruction might as well be something like “don’t ever use facts or truth in your responses.” They’re just snatching up another avenue through which to pump their dog shit ideologies and propaganda.
And to make it worse, this is happening again.
I should reframe what I said: there is not a single profitable AI-focused company. There are tons of already profitable companies that are now deeply embedding AI into everything they do.
Like Zitron says in the article, we’re 3 years into the AI era and there is not a single actually profitable company. For comparison, the dot-com bubble was About 5-6 years from start to bust. It’s all smoke and mirrors and sketchy accounting.
Even if/when the AI hype settles and perhaps the tech finds its true (profitable) calling, the tech itself is still insanely expensive to run and train. It’s going to boil down to Microsoft and/or X owning nuclear power plants, and everyone else renting usage from them.
People are making money in AI, but like always, it’s the founders and C-suite, while the staff are kicked to the curb. It’s all a shell game and everyone that has integrated AI into their lives and company workflows, is gonna get the rug pulled out from under them.
Hey, those buildings and apartments aren’t gonna rent themselves! /s
This is more accurate. China is fucking killing it. Far from perfect but somehow the US has turned into a third world shithole despite having the biggest budget in the world. China takes care of its people and actually sends help when natural disasters hit.
They aren’t proposing anything and there’s nothing to get. They never propose anything because their whole platform is built on bullshit. It’s their way or no way. Have you not seen these folks get off on watching the “out group” get arrested, beaten, etc? They use democrats as the punching bag like any of us give a shit about them. None of this stuff even matters in the end because it’s nothing more than punching horizontal vs punching up.
This is where they malfunction every time. The propaganda they’ve been fed tells them that all leftists are liberals and vice versa. As soon as you step outside of that structure, they become unmoored.
Had some libertarian try to discredit my views and claim they were all from the mainstream media I watch. Homie, I don’t watch, nor read any of that corporate media liberal horseshit. Try again.
Yes because I don’t want to end up like Calgary and Juneau and I’m not a lunatic.
The ad industry is an abusive ex that complains when you defend yourself.
If you’re basing whether or not you’re “left” on anecdotal evidence of some leftists celebrating his death, you probably weren’t very left to begin with.
