Rubio?

Yeah, the word “think” is doing a lot of heavy lifting in my statement there…

I don’t disagree at all with that, and honestly I share your frustration. But now the wheels of change are finally beginning to move… and it’s up to you whether you’re going to help push.

If everyone at the protests went to Washington and ripped this fascist out of the White House we would be done with this mess.

I keep seeing this take from Lemmy keyboard warriors, and honestly it’s kind of frustrating. It’s like saying: If all the soccer moms and college students and retirees and other everyday people who spent their entire lives blissfully living in an ostensible democracy just skipped all the boring organizing and community building and radicalization and Overton window shifting… and just went straight to the violent revolution part, this would be all fixed right away.

Well, DUH. But that’s not how any of this works in the real world. Movements take time to build, and you’re doing a disservice to that movement building by trying to minimize these initial protest efforts.

In Seattle it was closer to 3.3%, which is kind of insane.

If you want that to happen, then you’ll need to start work on SpaceX after Tesla is gone.

And the board is made up of his toadies.

That was the last era. Now we’re in a masks-off gilded age where the ultrarich think they can do it all out in the open.

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

Put your anger towards those who couldn’t even be bothered to do so.

Why? The election was won and lost in swing states, and voter turnout in swing states was roughly the same in 2024 and 2020.

Tariffs also have a way of sticking around long after the reason for their introduction is forgotten.

Sure it does. Don’t tolerate intolerance.

This take is so boring. There are protests and even direct action all across the States. We’re just getting started. You need to change your media sources if you’re not hearing about what’s going on.

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.

How would that help in this case? If the Google battery-nerfing update is legitimate, then it’s preventing Pixel 4a phones from catching on fire or whatever.

To be clear, I’m not trying to justify Google’s handling of this situation created by their own defective hardware fuckup.

Given that AI-promulgating technofascists are often one and the same people driving the authoritarian train, I don’t think it’s as crazy of an idea as you’re making it out to be.
