Jesus fucking christ. Now we’re all at risk of being convincingly replicated online and made to say anything the user wants?? Saw this shit coming from a mile away. Yes deepfakes have existed of course but now it’s easy as 1-2-3. Everything good eventually turns to shit i suppose, but man the Internet was the coolest most advanced discovery ever and now it’s being turned into the stuff of absolute nightmares. I shouldn’t be surprised i guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
we can’t have nice things, after all

Yeah, things have actually gotten quite a bit better over the past 3 years. Much of that was due to the abysmal performance of his predecessor, so even a “just ok” job would have looked like a masterwork.
That said, Biden’s def hitting his stride lately 😄

I hope this goes somewhere, but i won’t hold my breath. This company is pure evil, and that’s the reason i think it’ll survive. They’re too useful to the ruling class to destroy

Based on this particular comment chain and your decision to come back and read the article, i decided to read it as well. Very engaging, indeed! Learned quite a bit, def worth the time. I even subscribed to Ed’s newsletter, lol

- Comment on Somebody managed to coax the Gab AI chatbot to reveal its prompt 4 weeks ago:
That seems to be the life-cycle of social forums online. The successful ones usually seem to have at least a slightly left-leaning user base, which inevitably attracts trolls/right-wingers/supremacists/etc. The trolls don’t have much fun talking to each other, as they are insufferable people to begin with. It seems like a natural progression for them to seek out people they disagree with, since they have nothing else/better to do. Gab and the like are just the “safe spaces” they constantly berate everyone else for having (which they hate extra hard since their bullshit isn’t accepted in those places)

Leave it to the states, then when certain states say no figure out a way to make it national ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They don’t mince words, that’s for sure! They apparently don’t have any solutions for you. I think they just wanted to make that clear, probably so you didn’t get the wrong idea about them.

- Comment on Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: vehicles fall into water after being hit by ship 1 month ago:
Nah, you’re right–my initial reaction was clearly to the headline. It just felt like the human toll was being overlooked, but there is mention of “up to 20 people” being searched for in the article.
- Comment on Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: vehicles fall into water after being hit by ship 1 month ago:
I really have a problem with the way this was reported: they mention vehicles falling into the water, but avoid mentioning the fact that people were still in some of those vehicles.
Another article went a bit further to explain:
“A major bridge in Baltimore in the US state of Maryland has snapped and collapsed after a container ship collided with it early on Tuesday, sending a number of vehicles into the water.
The Baltimore fire department said it was searching for at least seven people believed to be in the water, after reports that a large vessel had crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge.”
There seems to be a greater concern for the inconvenience than for the people who just experienced the most terrifying event of their lives–some of whom may be dead in result ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hope those people are rescued! I can’t believe how much they were minimized by the press.

- Comment on Elon Tusk 1 month ago:
Your comment does a pretty good job of illustrating the main reasons: further wealth inequality, difficult housing market, and a crazier society that’s becoming more accepting of school shootings/shootings in general…not to mention climate change, more wars, and batshit politics becoming the norm globally. How bout that response to covid? If anything had ever disgusted me about this country it’s how brazenly people were willing to risk other people’s lives because they couldn’t be bothered to even attempt to be safe or consider others safety. As if i didn’t have enough reasons not to have kids before… it seems almost cruel to bring them into today’s world.
For sure, turning a blind eye to all that and escaping into a relationship and starting a family sounds great. You need a good job to do that…or you and your partner may both need good jobs to do that. Who watches the kids then? How much time will you actually get to spend with them? Are you going to saddle your parents or in-laws with the responsibility of raising them? Day care? What point is there in having children if you’re spending most of your time away from them? Disregard all that of course, if you’re rich ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just don’t think I’m ready to spend all of my waking hours endlessly trying to produce enough income to maintain all the expenses that come with a family, while still putting aside money for the kids to go to college and a retirement fund to boot.
It would be nice to have a family, i just don’t think it’s practical anymore. I don’t believe it’s the simple choice you make it out to be (at least that’s how i interpreted the last sentence of your comment)

- Comment on Tekken 8 players divided as devs add “Tekken Shop” with microtransactions 2 months ago:
From what i gather, they waited until after the reviews were in. They got a good score, which i guess would have been impacted by the inclusion of microtransactions, and released them after the reviews were in. Sounds like they were trying to avoid the bad press they would have gotten for including them.
- Comment on AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants 2 months ago:
Damn, that’s an angle i hadn’t been considering–the “AI did it, not me!” accountability loophole. Delta Airlines was just attempting to pull that on a customer that was given wrong info by a customer service bot. They only managed to get Delta to make good on their offer for bereavement rates when they were taken to court. Thanks AI!
