I found this a really thoughtful post. Gonna chew on this for a while. Thanks.

Tell it comrade

Hitler was elected democratically and used his cronies in government to imbue himself and the state with all kinds of power. This is called a soft coup. These judges are also fascists, and don’t want an independent judiciary because their team is in power now; undermining their own office prevents opposition from using the levers of government against the regime and taking back control.

How could you say that when AI is so great for helping companies lay off human workers, helping the military bomb children, helping the government build watch lists of people it doesn’t like, or helping law enforcement create a surveillance state?? :(

Save you a click: one online marketplace shows people don’t want to buy AI-generated 3D assets. No actual news on what this means for the entire rest of the economy.

In the case of CGTrader, a long-established online marketplace for 3D assets used by video game developers, film editors, and 3D printing nerds, users are sending a clear message. As 404 Media reports, the marketplace is being flooded by AI-generated assets, representing one in six models — but they only account for only $1 out of every $90 in revenue.

You’re right, someone does. Thanks. Sometimes I wonder if I’m accomplishing anything aside from activating my nervous system though.

Some people just say deranged shit and I can’t let it go unchallenged. It’s an ongoing struggle

Half of voters, which means about 30% of the population. His approval ratings are in the low 30%, the lowest of any president.

Misrepresenting the situation might make you feel better but it doesn’t help anyone else.

Many Canadians would disagree with that for starters

Time zones: am I a joke to you?

Mind telling me about these “actual effective policy changes” you mentioned?

I don’t know why you’re working so hard to defend the same agency that cooked up operation paperclip and mkultra. Like those three letter agencies didn’t do even more bonkers shit during the cold war in the name of defending capitalism. Like they haven’t declassified documents admitting to it. But uh, go off or whatever.
