I’m in the weird position of wanting both - closed borders and a reversal of climate change

then I guess the weird epiteth of “enlightened idiot” fully applies to you

Most people aren’t migrating of their own volition but fleeing war and famine. People I’ve seen advocating for “regulations for immigration” would rather have those people dying of hunger or exposure at their borders instead of letting them in.

you can also block ads directly on your router by setting up a DNS that filters them out, it works for me

the US has many problems but it’s still a democracy

Given the choice between hot shit and cold shit still ends with you being covered in shit. Heads or tails between two very similar parties hardly counts as a true democracy.

the AI itself can’t be racist but it will propagate biases contained in its training data

demonsword, 12 days ago

It definitely can be racist

that requires reasoning, no AI that currently exist can do that

I bet greed had much more impact than envy. Capitalims is, in a nutshell, gluttony applied to everything it can touch, and companies lust to make ever greater amounts of money or face the wrath of their shareholders. Innovation is hard, so copying your proud rivais is the easiest way (sloth, anyone?) to accomplish that…

Google’s response sure is some vile corporate doublespeak:

As we’ve said, we’re responsibly investing in our company’s biggest priorities and the significant opportunities ahead. To best position us for these opportunities, throughout the second half of 2023 and into 2024, a number of our teams made changes to become more efficient and work better, remove layers and align their resources to their biggest product priorities. Through this, we’re simplifying our structures to give employees more opportunity to work on our most innovative and important advances and our biggest company priorities, while reducing bureaucracy and layers.

Fuck. Google. Sideways. With a chainsaw.

I don’t think war criminals & mass murderers care about civil liberties.

they don’t care about human rights either:

Shalhoub-Kevorkian, who is in her 60s, was strip-searched, handcuffed so tightly it caused pain, denied access to food, water and medication for several hours, and held in a cold cell without adequate clothing or blankets.

Nah, it’s a failing empire. And there has never been an empire that fell before on humanity’s history that had a peaceful sunset

No one cares Google sucks now

It used to help me greatly at my job (software development). I’m using mostly DDG as a replacement but it just isn’t even close to what Google used to be years ago.

GM delivered five times that amount and yet Tesla is valued higher. It’s painfully obvious that Tesla’s stock is overpriced.
