I’m not defending social media or its algorithms, but you’ve also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don’t want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.

Rubio?

Make a puppet of Trump and dress up like Putin. Or Musk, if that’s easier.

If a fact isn’t disputed by either side in a case as contentious as this one, it’s much more likely to be true than not. You can certainly wait for the gears of “justice” to turn if you like, but I think it’s pretty clear to everyone else that LLMs are plagiarism engines.

Lol did you even read the article you linked? OpenAI isn’t disputing the fact that their LLM spit out near-verbatim NY Times articles/passages. They’re only taking issue with how many times the LLM had to be prompted to get it to divulge that copyrighted material and whether there were any TOS violations in the process.

“In its suit, the Times alleges that, when prompted by users, ChatGPT sometimes spits out portions of its articles verbatim, or shares key parts of its content, such as findings uncovered through investigations by Times reporters, or product endorsements carefully researched and vetted by Wirecutter, an affiliate site.”

I generally agree, but I also think it depends on the capital. There are definitely losers (in the winning/losing sense) in the business world even just two months into the second Trump regime.

I think you’ll find that many (but not all) successful movements are driven by the potent pairing of a legitimately pissed off populace backed by capital.

Guess who makes the money from the chargers though.

Which also benefits from organizing.

Protests are for building public solidarity. You know, organizing… the only way for the masses to accomplish anything in the face of fascism. It’s not for convincing Trump of anything.

Any given act of protest isn’t enough to save the country. But multiple acts building on each other will. It’s about continuing to apply pressure, one step at a time, until the fascist regime topples.

Why bother with AI for that? https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

Here’s the relevant quote from that link: “It’s true that overall turnout fell in much of the country, but in the battleground states that actually decided the presidential election, turnout was roughly where it was from four years ago. And it’s clear as day that a bunch of people changed their minds.”

In swing States (where the election was decided), voter turnout was almost the same in 2024 as in the last presidential election. So you can stop repeating the debunked claim that voters who “stayed home” are to blame for Trump’s victory.

Isn’t that just as bad as Russia doing it?

That’s some real victim-blaming shit… What exactly did you expect Canada to do to counter Russian election interference in another sovereign nation?

Hey welcome! You may proceed to do all the rich eating you like over here.

The implicit demand is to stop supporting fascists.
