Well you were damn you!

@flexghost You are absolutely correct. Of course, Trump ran on *not* repeating this pattern.

"It may be precisely because the new imperialism has no clear and finite objectives that it requires such massive military force; boundless domination of a global economy, and of the multiple states that administer it, requires military action without end, in purpose or time."

from 'Empire of Capital' by Ellen Meiksins Wood

Since there’s no algorithm, it’s kind of interesting to go on here when I can’t sleep and see things in languages I don’t understand and remember we’re all on this same planet together. Kinda makes me sad and happy at the same time.

Both of these people will accurately state that AI has made them more productive and saved them time.

This article illustrates why corporations shouldn't manage healthcare. The only way they can increase profits and shareholder value is to withhold benefits.

@carnage4life Indeed. If you look at job listings on LinkedIn, the most common one is for developers training AI to replace developers.

Is he dead yet? Are we dead yet?

@Starkimarm Is Bill Mitchell a comedian?

@grrlscientist The only single issue that makes sense is taking all the wealth from the rich and redistributing it. Everything else, like protecting the environment for humanity follows that.

@mina @Natasha_Jay Older duke of Westminster, the one that died a few years ago, was asked what advice he’d give to young entrepreneurs keen to emulate his success.
“Make sure they have an ancestor who was a very close friend of William the Conqueror,” he replied.

Found this graphic fascinating. So essentially England is still a medieval fiefdom ...

The provided image illustrates land ownership in England and Wales, broken down by type of owner, based on estimates from 2018. 

Here's a breakdown of the different categories:

Aristocracy and Gentry: This group holds the largest share of land, with 30% ownership.

Corporations: Corporations own 18% of the land.

Unregistered: Land that is not registered accounts for 17%.

Oligarchs and City Bankers: This group owns 17% of the land.

Public Sector: The public sector owns 8.5% of the land.

Homeowners: Homeowners own 5% of the land.

Conservation Charities: Conservation charities own 2% of the land.

Crown Estate and Royal Family: The Crown Estate and Royal Family own 1.4% of the land.

Church of England: The Church of England owns 0.5% of the land.

This data is from 2018, and is sourced from "Who Owns England" by Guy Shrubsole

Is it just me or does the Israeli strike on Iran make nuclear war more likely in the Middle East rather than less likely? After all, the Israelis would be much more hesitant to attack Iran if Iran had a nuclear bomb or two. I know that the Israelis view this war as another aspect of their "right to defend themselves", but they should think a bit more strategically and long term.

Luigi is charged as a terrorist for tagging a CEO, but a man who targeted 3 individuals, including 2 senators, is not charged as a terrorist.

Do you guys see it now? Yet?

@alexbunardzic Same here. This is scam. Don't work for free. If they want to see your work before they hire you insist on a contract guaranteeing a fixed payment for the task. Make it a good deal. If they turn you down it was a scam.

It's officially pride month~

Instead of putting more money into corporate pride, why not buy a disabled trans girl's stickers instead?

Has anyone in the AI world proposed adding markers to AI output that would identify it as AI output? This would allow those training LLMs to avoid feedback loops. I am thinking that something like a special Unicode character for text, for example.
