I made a post about how the views & memes of anonymous posters* were no more worthwhile than a bleating sheep. Apparently in pseudonymous ‘reading comprehension’ that means ‘treat me as the exoneration fairy for why your memes are precision blows against fascism’. I’m too old for this nonsense.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Elon Musk's AI platform has been retrained to generate a "both sides" response to whether climate change is a threat. One is the view of science, while the other is fossil fuel industry waffle.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Britain’s carnival of reaction nationalist theme park is going to be built by French businessmen with links to the far right and Putin. It’s entirely fitting with the bombastic but surface level understanding of history that informs the resurgent British far right.

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.

It shows the capture of British politics that far right hate, the persecution of a minority, is Labour Party policy. Even more so, that a media org calls human rights of trans ppl ‘controversial’. Scotland should be better than this. news.stv.tv/politics/i-d...

I understand that there are self-identified 'centrists' who supported Trump and the reality is with Trump's stated positions and policies those folks have to be: - stupid - ill-informed - delusional - lying You cannot be a centrist who supports someone who says they will be a dictator

Journalists need to ask Farage how many white children he wants each white woman to breed for him. He should be asked to give a specific number: 4.6, 7.2, whatever. Then voters should be always reminded of that number. If he doesn’t answer that question, journalists should keep asking till he does.

Another reminder for those who still seem to have not understood: Chat programs do not “look up” information and then repeat it. They write plausible language in answer to a prompt based on their data set. References will use real people, journals & words from titles, but will not truly exist.
