🇨🇦 Thinker, Hoarder. I gather news and current events to outline and identify issues with a Canadian point of view.
This is PR and American propaganda for the real sauce last month where Reddit, Meta, and Google basically assumed the proper position and voluntarily gave DHS info.
They suffered reputational damage, and this is their government compensation package: a promotional up-do.
Is anyone even going anymore? Anyone got the jet fuel to get there and back?
Wow…what a way to divorce the US military from reality and play into a fantasy conspiracy that Israel is somehow central to some scheme by the Illuminati, the Jesuits, the Freemasons, and the Zionists.
Western leaders folks…these champions are losing their marbles all over the floor.
So police did not have to flag the file as AI generated, and don’t prioritize the review of these allegations by an actual human?
Did anyone tell that man he was unlawfully detained and has a civil claim against the government who knowingly and recklessly detained an innocent person?
I thought Panasonic makes those infrared ovens still. They’re still around!
A cynic in me suggests that this may be a move to push people off the system and disenfranchise them entirely, or the new rationale to create a second class of people who are forced to live with increased digital vulnerability while a new class of numbers can be generated with different privileges.
OpenAI is the same as any other publicly traded corporation: it serves society, but this service primarily focuses on the shareholders. We’re looking at a vehicle designed to take money, and give it to shareholders. (private in this case or otherwise)
Focus on growth of data centres at public expense, AI slop, the circular nature of some of the investments going into AI, and the productivity (or lack of), are part of it. We are not looking at any exceptionalism. AI isn’t unique in its capability for catastrophic harm. What we eat and drink can easily be on that list.
AI and these American companies, just want the money train to continue unabated, and any regulation to go away.
Share bud, there’s ladies living in tents in hotel rooms. I’m considering it.
Thanks for spelling out how to get started for me. I’ll give this a try later!
Thanks everyone for the responses!
Question: I do remember the days of those RSS buttons everywhere. But I never managed to see the value in it.
Can anyone share their experience with following feeds, and how they consume this content? Is there some kind of spam/tracker free functionality that people enjoy? Are there apps out there that organize this in a way that changes the game?
I’d like to give it another shot, sorry for all the questions.
For those thinking about the switch, and happen to game, I understand that plenty of users are going to CachyOS or Bazzite as well.
From what I understand, Venezuela, Canada, and Russia are the primary suppliers of heavy crude. Even after so-called embargoes against Russia for the Ukraine-Russia conflict, ghost ships are still able to get product to market.
As for Iran, I’m not sure the US can even hold Iran, given their track record in Afghanistan and elsewhere. As it turns out, occupying another country requires huge troop deployments over decades.
Also, China’s built out relations through the Belts and Roads Initiative, meaning they’ve diversified the markets they can access.
One alternative plan, from an outsider’s point of view, is that the US has engaged in a long standing strategy of wealth transfer from its middle classes to its wealthy upper classes over decades. They’re in the process of breaking down their country for sale to its billionaire classes. While on paper it looks like a coup, the structure of the US suggests that the whole thing comes down with a whimper instead of a bang.
I suspect the billionaires are just waiting to see if they can get away with stealing the US, without the American people rising up and charging them for treason.
Part of a global lobbying effort as Canada’s governing party, the Liberal Party of Canada, is also discussing age verification simultaneously, as are a number of US states.
