Currently writing about the nazi cult of beauty and feeling a little let down by the latest iteration. My man, find a cobbler.
Der Wahlkampf geht los. Am Freitag haben Mitglieder der schleswig-holsteinischen AfD in Kiel die Organisation "Blaue Welle" gegründet, mit dem Themen des Umwelt- und Naturschutz mit einem patriotischen Heimatschutz verbunden werden sollen. Dazu gehört auch der Jugendverband "Blaues Kleeblatt"

Yes, AI is vewy scawwy and you should definitely slow down development of what would otherwise surely end in an uncontrollable superintelligence rather than autocomplete plateauing, with trillions in debt, absolutely, I believe you. Now let me shop while you go play with Sammy and Elon, honey, okay?
Tech ran out of ideas, let deep learning loose on noise patterns and sold the result as AI. People caught on that it's just autocomplete applied to nothing and now their final death rattle is blackmail. Media loves both tech fantasies and the apocalypse, and this is the convergence point of the two.
Curiously, hate against a minority that is significantly underrepresented in the states in which the AfD thrives most, but that would benefit most from left-wing policies because they're the poorest states in the country.
On Germany: something I can’t stand is the idea that the Left and the Green parties haven’t offed arguments about the cost of living. They have! It’s just that they haven’t offered *hate*. The AfD have offered hate, that is their most passionate offering, that is primarily why they are thriving.

All those wise guys insisting that you technically don't own games anymore, duh, and that everyone should just accept corporate dominion: This is where corporations cash that in. Those words will be used against you.
Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

"Harassment-prone demographic uses harassment glasses to harass even more efficiently. Maker of harassment glasses, who got rich by inventing harassment platform, insists that wasn't their intention."
NEW: Teen boys are using smart glasses — mainly Meta's AI Glasses — to film themselves harassing classmates at school, following girls around and "rizzing" them or "ragebaiting" them w/ insults. In several videos we reviewed, girls plead w/ the poster to stop filming. futurism.com/artificial-i...
