It’s “the advisory board of religious affairs.” You think that group of people can’t be religious nuts?
Also, it’s 100% about religion because their entire excuse is that it runs contrary to religious law. I mean, to your credit, you’re kinda right because this does have nothing to truly do with religion and is about control. But they’re using religion to do it.
“Using a VPN goes against our religious beliefs?” Come the fuck on.
Yeah this is like people who think they’re “saving money” when they go shopping because there’s a sale. You didn’t save money. You spent it. You just might’ve spent more (depending on the store because a lot of them mark things up just to mark them back to full price)
But Twitter has been bleeding users. And since the election there has been a very public and very large exodus, including a lot of bigger names with tons of followers. So this isn’t about “go where the viewers are.” This is “spend money to stay on the good side of someone who might be even more inordinately powerful with an incredibly powerful and vengeful sidekick.”
Hey! Don’t forget that it also alienated anyone who is even moderately humanist!
Why does that thumbnail bring to mind some kind of white supremacist ceremony
But I haven’t even escaped the original matrix. Or the matrix reloaded.
And not even just a cookie banner. One that says “we use them, now we told you. You can’t turn them off.”
Fuck that site
Have you ever raised a teenager? It’s not easy nor straightforward. But encouraging suicidal ideation…kinda is straightforward.
Just a 20 minute whoopsie
I mean, fuck the profitability. What about its massive toll on our already crumbling climate? What about its hallucinations that were told by the massively powerful companies (currently, anyway) to just not worry about? What about the promise of it “revolutionizing” industries (corporate speak for fucking workers in new and exciting ways), what about the paradigm solidifying nature of this tech that they keep lying to us about being a democratizing super tool?
Everything about this shit is trouble because of the world it was built into. This type of tech (even though most of its capabilities and uses are lies) in the hands of the people it’s in will only serve the rich and gobble up resources when we need to be scaling back our consumption. Instead, that endless investment is fueling our climate collapse.
Fuck this LLM bullshit. It’s not for us. It will only hurt us in this timeline.
It’s both.
Great Mapquest story: my two friends and I were driving from Gainesville Fl to Tuscaloosa, Al to visit another friend in college. I was in charge of the ‘quest, and we had the directions set on when to light the 6 blunts we rolled for the drive (aligned with the longest periods without having to turn, 70+ miles on the highway, etc).
Well, I missed the 0.2mi immediate exit before the 125mi straightaway and lit that next blunt. Long story short, we went like a hundred miles in the wrong direction because I told him we were good for a couple of hours.

Let the death of Saburo Arasaka be a lesson to us all: even 150+ year old bastards can get choked the fuck out

It’s propaganda because it works. Unfortunately. Because now these are just known manipulation tactics proven to work. And we still don’t really have a way to fight them—except that one old fashioned way and, hey, Nazis can get killed as far as I’m concerned.
What’s the need for private launch capabilities? Private = capitalist. I don’t see much good in capitalist ventures.
It’s been reported widely that it’s already happening. They use phone banks to scam, they use AI to scam. If it’s out there, it’s being used to scam.
