Considering that the US is a fascist dictatorship now, pigboy is a fascist, and r/conservative gets boosted to the front page, it’s likely a non trivial number of mods and admins are paid intelligence operatives acting on behalf of Russia, fascists/conservatives, and corporate lobbyists.

Extreme wealth incubates and breeds narcissism.

Luxury bones!

Last I heard it was way more than feasible for a normie. Something like 500TB.

There should be efforts to ensure it never happens again. All companies who abandon products or services should be forced to open source all associated code.

Why should greedy narcissists be allowed to waste humanities finite resources on their limp dick get-rich-quick schemes and failures?

Like you said, sketchy OS, that is probably less performant than Linux and may not get proper security updates.

Their product still produces output based on Studio Ghibli’s data, and just like all of us, they did not consent to their data being used to train models that would recompose their work for profit.

What if a corporation stole your voice and appearance, and made your likeness a movie star, without your consent or compensation?

What’s even funnier is that he’ll pay a relatively insignificant fine, and be able to continue and profit from the monopoly.

Corporate dictatorships masquerading as “democracy” is FUN!

Blessed be the profit margins. May the lord open.

Not necessarily

They are the most data harvested car by far. Knowing these criminals they likely run statistical models trained on all prior Teslas, approaching it like an actuary/data scientist.

The overcounting may only be performed on Individual units that display certain patterns which indicate premature failure. Maybe it only occurs based on the profitability vs likelihood of warranty claim for that individual unit, mitigating losses for manufacturing defaults (or cost cutting by a narcissistic megalomaniac).

Almost guaranteed. Net zero, and the means to achieving it, was basically a Greenwashing exercise manufactured by the fossil fuel industry, so the entire mechanism is full of ridiculous loopholes en par with Hollywood accounting.

Yeah, I deleted a paragraph re chicken & egg scenario whether or not it started on 4chan.

It could have very well been a targeted PsyOp by Russia/fascists from the get-go, potentially starting years before gamergate.

Not invaded. The existing 4chan user-base inspired, and was targeted with, fascist propaganda starting with gamergate!

It was literally ground zero for fascist PsyOps. Steve Bannon even considered it an inspiration, and a pivotal moment, in the creation of his fascist propaganda machine.

and profit is more important than everything; including quality of life and national security!

The only device or information system that is truly secure is the one that doesn’t exist at all

Always has been. Nothing has changed. Every conversation you’ve ever had with chatGPT is stored and owned by open AI. This is why I’ve largely rejected their use.

If it’s not local or E2EE, you are the product (even when you pay for the service).

Completely predictable from the most “just” fascist dictatorship to have ever existed!

Under the Biden administration, ICE records show the agency deployed Clearview widely, even as officials there charged with monitoring the technology were in the dark about how it was being used and by whom.

This is the direct path from neoliberalism/conservatism to fascism that some of us have been warning about for decades.

Sure, the D’s are better than the lowest bar known to man — mentally ill fascists and con artists — but fascism may have never succeeded without their own corruption, authoritarianism, and fealty to the plutocracy. They’ve spent decades building the most pervasive surveillance apparatus in history, collecting data from most computers on the planet, about most of the human population, and are doing nothing as the keys to the kingdom are handed to the Nazis.

More like asking the slaves about productivity advances in slavery. “Nothing good will come of this”.

Several of my Reddit accounts had tens of thousands of karma, a couple exceeded 100k. I learned early on to never read any notifications/messages ever. I just navigate back to my recent comments directly and check replies in context, instead of a stream of disjointed messages and trolls being deadshits.
