Hey MAGAts, tired of winning yet? Except for being the biggest asshole, your guy has failed on every promise he made.

that’s a really good idea. Maybe companies should also have to have a local customer service hub if they sell above some threshold in the country

Why exactly would we trust the US again? All we know for sure is that SOME fascist-loving racist pedophile admirers hate high prices.

I’m glad they put that together. A big part of the reason i am lashing back against AI is to threaten the data centre boom. At least they are starting to grasp the point of all this.

I’m so happy about the midterm result. I hope the repercussions of his Iran war can be managed better now that he is significantly weakened

Alright, y’all have to fire this loser.

Your country went to the brink of authoritarian dictatorship; on Tuesday, it crept back one sixteenth of an inch from the precipice. Prosecuting every motherfucker who broke the law in Trump’s administration should be priorities 1, 2, and 3. Brazil put their Trump in jail after their January 6. Maybe they could give your politicians some democracy lessons.

Snakes in the Ass on a Plane

Why is the Media Ignoring the […] allegations?

Because Americans ignored similar allegations last time and voted the shithead into power. If they didn’t care then, why should they care now? Trump was a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist when they elected him. New allegations are just resume padding.

Edit: I meant rapist, not racist (though Trump is both)

Cathode ray tubes? Someone help out a non-American

I’m right there with you. For years I felt like I was going crazy because once you see it you can’t unsee it - but other people don’t always understand. Everywhere I look, I witness the predatory behaviour of the rich: usurpation of democracy, violation of privacy, union busting, pollution, planned obsolescence … The world is one big exploitation racket that has to grow exponentially, year after year, or it will collapse. It should be obvious that the notion of infinite exponential growth in a finite world is mathematically insane, but that is what capitalism seems to require. We are destroying life on earth so that we may continue growing exponentially until … what? Every square foot of this planet is either a warehouse, a Starbucks, or a data centre? And yet, people keep plugging along, trying not to see the problem, because facing it is too hard.

For me, I do what I can to make the world better. My impact is small and local, but it is not zero. I take walks. I look at the moon. I try to savour small things. I do fun things that don’t cost much: libraries, some sports, cycling.

I have a bit of fun with it, too: I take pleasure in denying Walmart or Amazon my money. I don’t buy used because I’m thrifty – I buy used because I am attacking the system. My mission: to keep my dollars out of their greedy fucking hands! Instead of feeling deprived when I refuse to update my phone, for example, I feel malicious joy. You want my email? Nope. Cookies? Denied!! Every petty way that I can find to oppose the predatory corporations becomes a delight. I don’t know where I first heard this, but someone wise once said, “Ask yourself, how can I be useless to capitalism today?”

And I vote. Sometimes I have to hold my nose, but I do it. 60% bad is better than 80% bad, and sometimes you only get those two choices at the ballot box. I save high ideas for primaries and leadership races; at the ballot box, I’m a pragmatist.

In the end, I remember that I am going to die. System collapse doesn’t change that. While I exist, I am going to see beauty, love people, and have fun to the greatest extent possible.

Oh, sorry. Chancellor Hitler.

i know. we’ll never get the stink out

I agree that democrats (as they exist now) are a bad party. However, the US system is broken in a way that disadvantages third parties. If you vote for a 3rd party that is left of the Democrats (or don’t vote at all), you split the vote and Trump wins again. I think the US is in a bind, but the best way out is to vote Dem and turf corporate/zionist Dems like Schumer in the primaries. It will take time, but it will work.

Some people on Lemmy have been using “both parties bad” rhetoric to discourage people from voting for the Democrats, which only benefits Trump and his gang. Your post probably got associated with that rhetorical strategy.

I’ll believe it when Trump is hanging from a lamppost. Until then, these headlines are disinformation and should be disregarded.

It’s true, but try this:

• defeat the bigger evil first
• then defeat the smaller evil
• ???
• communism (or whatever it is you want)

Well, maybe this stuff can be called art or free speech. However, the US constitution only guarantees that the government can’t persecute you for your expression. It says nothing about corporations or private individuals.

Facebook is not the government. Facebook can and should do something about hateful material on its platform. People aren’t calling for the those posting AI child torture images to be arrested - they just want Facebook to stop spreading their material.

If you decide to use AI to create child torture porn, you should at least be forced to publish it yourself. Why should Facebook help you?

If you are the type of person who has to ask an AI this question, you probably aren’t capable of making a good decision on your own. In that sense, I agree with you.

That being said, LLMs are being manipulated by billionaires to protect the system that keeps them rich and powerful. They will give bad advice by design.

This is 100% because young people have started referring to anything fake or stupid as “AI”. The term AI is becoming a punchline.

Maybe some of y’all shower too long.

Americans have more exposure to AI. The rest of the world will come around.
