There is also a cyber war that has been going on for the last 2 decades. And Trump just recently lowered all of our defenses.

This is also taking place in Florida. A state that began horrible and has just doubled down on it in the last 20 years.

I would boycott Walmart but I already started boycotting them over a decade ago. I understand some people in tight financial situations need the lower prices they can get from places like Walmart. And therefore they cannot so freely boycott such a place but if you’re somebody who can avoid it I would advise steering clear of that shit hole. Their policies are trash and the family that owns it are oligarchical douche bags.

I think you missed the part in Tron where the MCP said the human beings were functionally useless as anything but slaves. This wasn’t a “I can run the human world better” this was more of an Ultron deal where it believed that it would either be a better world without humans or a Forbin Project sitch where all of humanity should be micromanaged slaves to its will.

Bigoted against what?? A machine? The money grubbing assholes who are using those machines to profit on other people’s work without giving them a dime in compensation? Who the hell are you defending here?

Studio Ghibli and their artists put in millions of hours collectively to create works if absolute art. Sam Altman just borrowed millions of dollars to rip them off.

As a tool, it should be highly useful to artists to help them create things. However, the fact that these algorithms (I don’t care to call them AI because they aren’t) are stealing people’s work and then shitting out mediocre garbage and the people in the creative industry who tend to finance such things start thinking that “these machines can just do what an artist can so why pay for an artist” is the problem.

The way Altman whines about how much he should be allowed to steal people’s work to feed his bottom line, I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the case.

Is this something that is actually happening? Or is this a hypothetical edge case that assumes anti-Tesla activists are ignorant?

The post you are literally in is discussing a dark-web site that is publishing the names and addresses of all of the people currently own Teslas. This is not hypothetical.

I fundamentally disagree with doxing regular people. It’s one thing if it’s a public figure who is actively antagonizing people and using anonymity as a layer of protection against repercussions for their awful acts. But publishing the names and addresses of people who simply bought a car is not something we should be doing.

I’m getting that, teacher from the movie “Interstellar” vibes.

Seeing how it was Florida, they would probably arrest her for infanticide and give a medal to the flight crew for trying to save the kids life or some bullshit.

Seriously, fuck that entire godforsaken state.

Subscriber paywalled. I am so unbelievably sick of these.

He was still getting his feet wet in that term and he only had them all for half his term. And they at least pretended to give a shit about the less wealthy constituents, that tax break they gave to “everybody” expired for the middle and lower class after a year or two but was there for the wealthy well into Biden’s term.

This time they’re not even pretending to care. They’re relying completely on their propaganda to convince their idiotic fans that tariffs are going to be a tax on other countries and their bills will go lower as a result of it. Meanwhile they’re going to gut Medicaid and other social services in order to give money to the wealthiest people in the country.

So in answer to your comment, they will hopefully notice this time because they’re going to be hurting as a direct result of what Trump is doing as opposed to something he could deflect as being “because liberals”.

The thing is even more ridiculous because the Republicans warned him not to have the town hall and have told their members to only have online town halls or “moderated” chats. So they can keep any dissenting voices out and project an image of everyone loving what they are doing.

Now they are just relegated to calling things like this “democratic operatives” trying to disrupt civil Republican discourse. This isn’t gonna work as well as they think because people know who is hurting them since the Republicans own all the branches right now.

They’ve already shown what they are capable of, in terms of scam behavior, up in Canada.

LoL 😂

Tech bros and “influencers” don’t count. We’re talking about real people. All of those devices failed because no one other than those seeking to ride the bleeding edge of technology actually are interested. The most anyone want Siri or Google Assistant to do is set alarms, set appointments, and pick-up/hang-up the phone when you’re on speaker. Sometimes it’s nice to ask it to do a search but the original versions of these did that fine until they started “improving” them with “AI”.

That’s the joke. They’ve never gone high they’ve just given the Republicans their measurements so that the nooses fit properly.

The win is the diminishment of his economical power. Same goes for Amazon and Meta. Transitioning off of any dependence of those websites and services will empower us and remove these shitheads’ influence.

Is THAT why the flavor is so different now??? I never knew! I used to love Sriracha but now it tastes synthetic and unpleasant.
