Where’s a lightning strike when you need it?

Fair enough. The engineering is pretty impressive. It would be even more impressive if it was owned by the public rather than a MEGAlomaniac high on ketamine

SpaceX can still pivot to a fireworks company and let decades old soviet rockets take people to the ISS. I’m sure that DOGE will cut the wasteful government grants this company gets.

I’ve been saying this for years, but the general mood still hasn’t shifted against Discord. People were actually amazed back when it added… forums. But now if the company is going public the enshittification is imminent.

Yeah, sorry that we exist. Kinda hard to ignore when your shit politics drag us into it.

Clearly not 100%, since somebody is explaining it

This comic would have been perfect if the guy’s hat just had MAGA on it, easier to get the message across

Trudeau said he had a message for the president: “Donald, you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.”

When you have to talk to a fucking toddler

I’m surprised they had so many swastikas on display. I thought it was illegal to display them in Germany. Or maybe there’s some exemption in the case of satire?

Yes, use a niche platform where you can preach to the choir of 10 people, rather than the place where you might influence millions of views. Great suggestion!

Or just use ranked voting or rated voting. Single winner doesn’t imply the god awful first-past-the-post method

Is there any actual evidence that they are getting closer to AGI? It seems ridiculous to think that this LLM parrot bullshit is getting there, when the thing can’t even learn the rules of a basic sum.

There was never any democracy to begin with if you can’t vote for whoever the fuck you want, without resorting to “lesser evil” strategies.

Honestly, Vance seems even worse to me. Trump has that embarrassing grandpa vibe and he seems too stupid to make any important decisions on his own or realize what he’s doing. Vance gives me a determined murderous intent vibe.

It was put on TV on purpose to make Zelensky look weak and make the US look strong (it’s called propaganda) and so daddy Vlad can see that Trump is a good boy.

I can happily confirm that the woke mind virus is alive and well on Lemmy.

I checked the super generic comments that seemed AI generated. Some of them had content like videos or decent descriptions. Others had profiles that were as old as 10 years. If they were bots I would expect them to be created in the last few years. There’s a few that are suspicious, but it was maybe 2 in 15 accounts. They could also be hacked accounts.

True, the likes might be manufactured. Don’t count on Google to moderate them

The whole meeting was pure propaganda, it’s why it was so openly streamed live, even though there was no intention of signing the deal.

I will provide a propagandistic casus belli. Its credibility doesn’t matter. The victor will not be asked whether he told the truth. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_Nazi_Germany#In_power_(1933–1939)

Especially easy to do after the Trump administration purged media dissenters

Looking at their profiles, they don’t look like bots to me. Maybe it’s just that MAGAs sound as stupid as a bot swarm.
