I agree with the underlying premise that AI should not be given the reigns to anything of importance.

I disagree that they can’t find out.

The Amazon servers in the UAE and Bahrain found out just recently.

Go examine a journalism course curriculum - they are still pumping out good journos that speak truth to power.

The trouble is media ownership is very much captured by the ultrawealthy, and they appoint editors and department heads that further their personal goals to the detriment of journalism.

Like Bezos spiking stories about billionaires or Trump, ever since he took ownership of the Washington Post. Or Murdoch, since daddy gave him a media empire.

The problem is not individual journalists - it’s the media ownership landscape.

The US is cooked. Decades of press capture by right-wing billionaires, educational capture by religious zealots and defunding, etc… none of this is accidental. Uninformed, uneducated, religious fundamentalists are easy to manipulate.

You could present these results as coming from a survey of any of the “shithole countries” (Haiti, El Slavador, Africa broadly) the US pedo in charge has turned his nose up against, and nobody would think the results are odd. But look at these comments - disbelief.

I didn’t downvote you, but no… Not really. And people are probably downvoting you just because you’re wrong.

Like if someone said their interpretation of the bible is ‘that we should all trebuchet kittens at the sun during eclipses’ they would be treated as idiots - because that claim has no backing.

Its a book full of fables, correspondence, parables, and accounts of history. It’s not written to be highly interpretive - it’s written to be proscriptive. That some people twist its wording for their own political or ideological interpretations is something that should always be called out - if they’re claiming to be followers of Jesus and their core religious text contradicts them - that’s ridiculous, and it’s pathetic that a lot of people go along with it unchallenged.

P.s. not Christian BTW.

Does anyone remember the New Testament verse where Jesus tells the gay people to all fuck off and that his followers should persecute them? All I remember is him clearly saying to ‘love thy neighbors’ a lot - pretty gay tbh.

I did read the bible many decades ago, can’t remember any such verses - will admit it was a total snooze fest though, so I might’ve missed it or forgotten.

You like… proud of not reading books or something?

Bring that civilization-ending virus.

The world needs some alone time without humans.

Europe doesn’t make any products, product packaging, or commercial waste containing plastics?

You high?

Thanks for the context. Honestly sounds like someone the US should be trying to retain, but… Yknow… The current admin are doing everything they can to funnel money away from science.

Oh yeah I get that, grumbling to the editor that came up with it, not the Lemmy poster.

Though OP has not bothered to add the missing context in the comment of the post, which is definitely allowed on the rules.

‘Convicted’ is the primary newsworthy interest, so it begs explanation.

‘Harvard scientist moves to China to work on brain computer’ would not make news.

Convicted of being a former Harvard scientist?

Titlegore. If it’s not legible to a moron (me) - rewrite it.

Anonymous works fine 99% of the time if you only install occasional apps from Google. It works by grabbing a random Google account from a large pool of Google accounts that Aurora (or someone) runs, and accesses the store for searches and downloads after logging you in. You’re logged out after a set period (several hours iirc) and then grab a new ‘anon’ account from the pool next time you do updates or search for an app.

The only issue you may face occasionally is if the app you want is geofenced to your area, and the ‘anon’ account was made in a different geographical location - in which case you won’t be able to find the app in the store to install (or update) it. I usually just log off and on a couple of times and this resolves. It’s a minor irritation.

Many create their own throwaway Google account on a different device (not linked to them in any way), but I haven’t bothered… Might be worth it if you install a lot of apps from Google store and want minimal issues though.

I think that would undo a lot of the attempted anonymity though, even if it’s just for app istalls/updates. I’ve used Aurora for… 4… 5?.. years as my only means of apps from the Google app store, only using anon accounts and only having occasional hiccups where updates don’t kick off automatically or geofenced apps can’t be located. I only use maybe a dozen apps from the store though, all the rest are F-Droid/etc.

sigh isn’t nature beautiful…

Wouldn’t want to upset the campaign donors.

If it’s AI it has the best water reflections I’ve ever seen.

There’s really no evidence to suggest it is AI though, when this exact thing has happened and been photographed multiple times in the past, pre-AI.

Fully agree with this. There’s nothing beneficial to society about the tech giants taking all the ad profits, bypassing clicks to the real content-creators, causing their fiscal ruin. When information & research is the product, access should be paid.

Now do AI.

Conservative government doing pathetic conservative things.

Haven’t heard that name in a while.

I’ll thank him for turning some young uninformed voters away from the LNP (or worse), but you don’t win any voters long-term by being just as blind to criticism of the party you support, and his extreme and unexamined Labor bias got real old.

What people seem to keep forgetting is that under the ballroom is a bunker that is actually the main purpose of the project, and where most of the money is doing.

Trump wants a newer, even more impenetrable high-security fortress, which he doesn’t intend to leave at the end of his term.
