Which goes to show that the USA almost always has been for sale

Whatever you need to do to become dictator, even if it means selling your soul to the devil.

I know loads of Americans are stupid enough to applaud all this

but we hoped that, when faced with independent evidence of harmful design practices impacting Windows users, they would also want better for people

That is quite a thing to sya with a straight face. Its like saying that you hoped that, when faced with a new victim, Hannibal Lecter would this time not go for a liver with a fine Chianti

I don’t like to call it AI either because it has shit to do with intelligence, its LLM.

Either way, I’m trump’s enemy and I am okay with that. Fuck you, trump

Surely you mean the trump-epstein files?

Not anymore after the 8th season… It wss impressive to see how hard they pushed that goldeb goose off a cliff just so they could do star wars (and then got dropped off star wars because of the GoT fuck up)

forced

Way too big a word. Nobody is forcing anybody, its just nature doing its thing and last I checked, fetuses aren’t exactly capable of making decision, less even being forced to make one.

I do agree that everyone should be able to exit when they choose so but the human mind being what it is a lot of times a lot of people temporarily feel they want to exit, and with some help or medication, they want to stay. The road out should be taken slowly and with care and dignity, and definitely not be an “I want out! Okay!”

But why is antisemitism increasing?? All Israel does is genociding men women and children and now they’re hated? Why?

Agree with this. Even different brands of the same type of beer can taste so different that one is like an angel pissing on your tongue and the other one is just plain piss

USA?

guy with mental illness having hallucinations is taken seriously

USA

Isn’t that the kind of treasonous action that typically still can get you the chair / rope / bullet?

US being left behind in almost every possible metric

One wonders how that happened. Maybe the leeching of money and resources by the rich class? Maybe the incompetent fascist regimes that have been in control for the past 5 decades, with each next one worse than the previous?

slapped with pocket chance

Yeah, a real slap in the face that is…

So why isn’t this an article in regional and national newspapers, showing the rather sinister behavior of an organization that works to silence the free flow of information?

They’re planning everything from mining to the rapture

They’re also idiots that don’t understand basic physics

Its the same mental deficiency of people going on about asteroid mining. Yeah, sure, lots of minerals in those asteroids but until you find a safe, cheap, and reliable way to shift those asteroids into earth’s orbit it’s literally the same as those guys jerking off over AI porn: vapid and empty.

I’m not saying that its impossible, I know that one day we’ll get there. I also know that “one day” is at the very least 20 years in the future, still, just to get a simple base. Getting a production base that pulls out minerals, with a reliable way to move said minerals to earth is more likely some 50 years away

I know, musk says we can do all that today, bit musk hasn’t been able to speak a single truth in 2-3 decades at least. He’s full of shit and constantly makes stupid lying claims about mars bases. His starship rockets have spent billions of US tax payer money and still haven’t been able to clear the first easy 1% of the work; getting in yo a stable earth orbit. They managed to roast a banana over the Indian ocean, and to obliterate a launch pad. I suppose those are impressive feats perhaps, but not on the way to the moon, or worse, mars.

Seriously, humanity is at best 1% on the way to a mars base. There are so many known issues that we don’t have solutions for, and there are even more unknown issues that also still need solutions. Yet the moon and mars bro’s can stop talking about how next year bro, next year will be the year bro, musk promised it bro, that is as good as any truth bro…

Most middle class Canadians?

Absolutely not

But enough to make every invader’s lives miserable? Oh hell yes. You only need a few dozen people in Canada yo pull this off and I know we have much,much more than that both in Canada AND US territories…

The world doesn’t suck

The world is awesome

There are a few handfuls of expansionist narcissistic oligarchs, dictators and uber rich that ruin the experience for everyone else.

Seriously, we hang a few dozen very specific guys from the gallows and literally the world would be saved the next day. All of the sudden genocides are over, we can focus fully on stopping climate change, we can form a UN that can enforce peace, we can implement wealth caps where nobody gets crazy rich anymore… Can you imagine?

Seriously… That is the weirdness of the problem. We have a few people with so much power that 8 billion of us have their lives ruined by at most a few hundred

I would change John Lenno’s “imagine” to “imagine we hang the parasite class and implemented wealth caps, it isn’t hard to do”

There is also the difference that the fediverse runs on a few potato servers. You could barely fill a few racks with the servers that do the fediverse

This in contrast with AI that requires tonnes of datacenters all over the world

Break the law, pay a tiny fine

So blue balls for 6months it is, then! Not what I would have chosen, but to each their own
