The tobacco industry was monopoly busted, and heavily regulated for 30 years. That’s the point. Yes they still exist, but not like they did in 1970. We should do that to social media. It’s crazy how you missed that point yet harp about intelligence.

You guys are prepping for Jupiter to become a second sun? That’s hard fucking core man!

Eh we’re already seeing massive drops in skilled labor. The political environment will create food scarcity in 12 months. It’s already paying to be able to fix your home and car. Can’t imagine what next year will bring. Probably unemployment for many.

Yea time to fill up the garage with portable generators and nintendo switch

Yea i guess the most simple explanation, that is most coherent with the rest of the administration’s actions, is that it’s just a mob style shake down of every major economic player. Pure extortion as the japanese said.

But ya its funny to see the SEC and DOJ neutered and then actually used against big tech. Ironic and poetic, and fucking stupid. It really burns at the senses, and creates confusion.

Absolutely. As an investor and enjoyer of US markets and economy, I am truly terrified at the ramifications of all this. No safe harbors left to hide in and it appears to be hit the economy with a wrecking ball, and funnel the remaining funds to elon. I’m not so interested in US markets anymore and i can imagine this will have a lasting effect on investor confidence and companies bottom line.

What confuses me is if you steal all the money and destroy the stock market and USD in the process, what do you even do with the stolen wealth?

We’re in post law society, I can’t even believe the trump admin is going after tech giants. So i believe anything is possible here. I can’t imagine anything the admin does will be good for society so maybe its safe to assume they will be broken up so elon can buy a chunk?

echo…echo

16 hours lmaooo incredible really.

“He compared the issue to IBM’s Watson, which began to use profanity after reading entries from the website Urban Dictionary.[3][11]”

That was a wild read, im suprised i missed that misadventure.

Q-Anon ass AI peddler

I can’t wait to meet the crazy fucking bot trained on News Max articles and r/Conservative!

Same lol. I just had to ban evade and say that last patriot comment about amplifying the idiots and supressing the dissenters is not how we should run a democracy. Boom permaban. Do not question reddit moderation policy. It’s worse than luigi.

Don’t forget Molly cokeketamolly. It’s a Bay Area classic

Yes it’s against Reddit ToS to confront MAGA with logic, or criticize the great works of Emperor Monsk

Harmless theory, lots of AI inquiries. Harmful theory: Elon musk is removing dissent from all social media. Accounts being targeted and removed etc.

Fren that is nature of humanity

Ah sorry I only saw the 6 Billion dollar increase in spending on the defense side.

But ya saving 13 billion by what slashing IRS, and critical enforcement that would have also been shut down? Like thats the point. They’re cutting critical services and allowing more executive overreach. We’re just gonna stand by all year and watch them strip us of all our resources and leave us with crippling debt. This is foreshadowing for the next round of cuts and taxbreaks.

It didn’t cut funding. It expanding funding leading up to next years funding bill. It also expanded executive powers needlessly. Vaguely worded clauses that will be used for more executive overreach. So ya. Shutting down the government for a week or two to force a bipartisan CR, and showing the american people what it looks like when they cut half the government for tax cuts this summer.

You always gotta think about use lazy users too. Settings are great but you actually need to draw people into a level they want to customize. I’m almost there thanks for the heads up! I’m coming from the lemmy.world url. It’s not bad it’s just not good. It’s great for us older folks but I can see where it would create an age gap. The trend of people who enjoy windows 97 UI is declining.
