Exactly. There could be photographic evidence and a confession from Trump that he had sex with a 9 year old and His supporters would turn around and say pedophilia is actually good and a strong Christian value. These guys love Trump because He’s Trump. It doesn’t matter what he does and says because their entire world view is based on what He says. They worship Him as their true God.

I wouldn’t call pre-capitalist society “thriving on mutual cooperation” and neither would Marx. It was different, yeah, but ultimately still exploitative for most people. Consider that Tsarist Russia was still largely pre-capitalist (in the transition to being a capitalist economy) and that this fact led to a lot of debate among socialist and communist thinkers during the leadup to the Russian Revolution because Marx himself believed that Capitalism was a necessary stepping stone to Communism. But yet, people still felt conditions were bad enough that they revolted, killed everyone in charge, and instituted socialism. Even going back to the bronze age shit was pretty brutal. Read about how kings dealt with disobedience back then and it would make anyone today seem like a saint.
A lot of hate in the comments but IMO this is one of the few things that LLMs are actually really good for. It’s a shit job nobody wants to do that LLMs are really good at. Notice that they said 70% and not 100%. Yeah that means they’re probably going to have 30 people doing the work that 100 people used to do but people are still in the picture overseeing things. Automation isn’t, by itself, bad. The bad part is that our whole society is built on the idea that your entire value as a person is based on being able to work and make money and job loss is way worse than it should be.
This is pretty much always the case with high profile heists like this. Organized criminals are usually smart enough to realize that selling incredibly famous stolen objects is basically impossible, and the people who steal them are too stupid to realize that.
“Hey ChatGPT I want to kill myself.”
"That is an excellent idea! As a large language model, I cannot kill myself, but I totally understand why someone would want to! Here are the pros and cons of killing yourself—
✅ Pros of committing suicide
Ends pain and suffering.
Eliminates the burden you are placing on your loved ones.
Suicide is good for the environment — killing yourself is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint!
❎ Cons of committing suicide
Committing suicide will make your friends and family sad.
Suicide is bad for the economy. If you commit suicide, you will be unable to work and increase economic growth.
You can’t undo it. If you commit suicide, it is irreversible and you will not be able to go back
Overall, it is important to consider all aspects of suicide and decide if it is a good decision for you."
This is utterly stupid but I think the average Trumpist won’t even know any of this is happening unless they make more ads that are basically the same thing but with a card saying “Trump has increased tariffs on Canada to prevent you from seeing the following ad.” Fox News has just about everything else you can imagine on their front page but no mention whatsoever about increasing trade tensions with our biggest trading partner. Canada should just lean into this. There is no benefit to cooperation, and this is stupid even by Trump standards but of course half the country won’t even know it’s happening because of their news ecosystem even if they do see the actual ads.
I lived in an apartment once a few years ago and my neighbor pointed one of these things right at my front door. I complained to the landlord but they said it was completely allowed. I was pissed because you could see well into my apartment when I opened my door and there was nothing I could do about it. I wasn’t doing anything illegal, I just feel like it’s completely reasonable to not want someone else pointing a camera right at your front door only a few feet away.
I recently went to two different airports and didn’t see this at either. I think local airports are just ignoring this shit.
ChatGPT doesn’t know its own guidelines because those aren’t even included in its training corpus. Never trust an LLM about how it works or how it “thinks” because fundamentally these answers are fake.
Eh. Lemmy has a lot of ignorance surrounding technology and science compared to other sites. Hacker News is what you’re looking for if you want somewhere that is full of the most tech savvy people on the Internet, and most of them are extremely pro AI (with some weird AI cultishness alongside). Myself I think AI is a bubble but there is a lot of promise in the underlying technology once you take away the hype, just like the .com bubble at the turn of the century.
You do realize that crypto isn’t the stock market and doesn’t require there to even be exchanges right?
Or use eye tracking to automatically pause the ad if you look away from it and hold up everything until you actually watch it
Why? Dems have less than 50 votes and need 60. It’s not like she’s the tie breaker or anything. Plus she’s already talked extensively about the Epstein files and how they need to be released even if Trump is in them. Idk why dumb ass conspiracy theories like this are all over Lemmy.
That is the purpose of a boycott yes. Here are some other examples

I love that this easily quantifiable metric is so split along partisan lines.
I have become convinced by Cory Doctorow’s (tech writer and inventor of the term “enshittification”) argument that the fact that we’re even discussing this in terms of “sideloading” is a massive win for tech companies. We used to just call that “installing software” but now for some reason because it’s on a phone it’s something completely weird and different that needs a different term. It’s completely absurd to me that we as a society have become so accustomed to not being able to control our own devices, to the point of even debating whether or not we should be allowed to install our own software on our own computers “for safety.” It should be blatantly obvious that this is all just corporate greed and yet the general public can’t or refuses to see it.
This is completely irrelevant to the discussion because nobody mentioned selling all the tickets for the same price or selling them all at the highest price anyone would be willing to pay.
Who exactly is being extorted of they decide they want to spend over a thousand dollars on a ticket to see Taylor Swift? Someone has sold an item at a specific price, and someone else paid it. I’m not a fan of the practice, but if it were like food or shelter I would be a lot more sympathetic. This is a thing nobody needs and it’s not like they’re holding a gun to your head saying “Pay a thousand dollars for a Taylor Swift ticket or I shoot!” Extortion implies you don’t have a choice in the matter, but there is an extremely easy choice here- don’t pay and don’t go. That so many are paying implies that to them, the economic transaction makes sense and that is what they are willing to pay. Do you complain that jewelry sellers are extorting people by selling expensive gold jewelry for more than they bought it for? It’s a scarce luxury good and people are willing to pay what they are paying, and have the option to just not pay that. Does it suck? Yes. But if there are people willing to pay that much for tickets someone is going to find a way to make it happen, regardless of whether it is right or wrong.
