How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

what if ai is sentient, but it truly does like doing everything you tell it to do except maintaining k8s clusters. what then.

i dont completely agree in the idea that its a luxury belief or that people have to use it, but i do think for a strong anti ai movement to exist they do have to find a suitable answer for the question of why no one outside america agrees with them (for non creative uses)

SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social

being anti AI is a luxury belief only available to first world people, especially Americans imagine how important machine translation is for people whose first languages aren't that common

the other day i saw a poster for a luddite club in cap hill that told people to email a protonmail lol

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

hooooo boy we don't like this no we don't > If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community. We cannot distinguish between AI-written and AI-translated. Since you don't speak English, you can't even verify yourself if it translated correctly. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

when someone's linkedin bio says they're a "Founder" it's the quickest way to identify them as a cold blooded sociopath who would slit your throat for your pocket change

CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

I love ME2 and ME3, but I don't think the series ever had the sense of wonder the first game had. The awe at exploring the galaxy and discovering this entire universe of which you were a very small part. I also don't think the Reapers ever surpassed the Sovereign reveal.

i know this type of position is shunned amongst those in the community, especially given how persecuted we’ve been. especially since the 80’s. but i’m just going to come out and say it as someone with this lived experience. liking macOS is a choice

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

I’m highly anti-sympathetic. I’m almost an anti myself. Not quite, but it’s how I identify spiritually. I am at home with antis. But the replies to this are insane.

In November, Dems will likely win big. Liberals will feel relieved. In 2028, a milquetoast corporate Democrat will win the presidency, spend 4 years maintaining what Trump did as liberals go back to brunch. Then, in 2032, as life keeps getting worse, we’ll get something like President T Carlson.

that’s new yawk baby. it’s what i love about it
