  • The fate of the Matt Gaetz ethics report is up in the air as his ex-colleagues debate its release

    Jump

  • It shouldn't matter it is a scumbag or not. Either the report exonerates him, or he wasn't acting ethically which we should know about. Either way there should be no discussion whether or should be released or not.

    The fact that this is debated, says that there major ethical issues among people deciding about it.

  • I don't think so. Frankly much worse was keeping Ukrainiane's hand tied behind their back. That war could have been over in 2022. If Ukraine loses this, we will have much harder war(s) in few years and will have our soldiers fighting it.

  • The reason we don't have a single payer healthcare is because certain party blocks it. If we did, it would actually save us tons of money.

  • Sounds more and more like Nazi Germany.

    There's no way trump can depart that many people, and unlikely that the other countries will want them back, so they will end up in camps.

  • Yeah, I believe he mentioned that play in this book. In Road to Unfreedom book he also mentions how LGBT basically took place of Jews. It tries to frame itself as it is for traditional Christian values, in reality it is just fascism that tries to use religion. Fascism needs an enemy, and this one is easy to attack.

  • Prof. Timothy Snyder's books "On Tyranny" and "On Freedom" provide some ideas. The first one might be more relevant now that trump won, but second one talks about how oligarchs are stealing wealth from us and how they now use technology for their advantage including social media.

    There are also interviews on YouTube with him.

    Edit: apparently he also has a substack: https://snyder.substack.com/

  • I highly recommend On Freedom book but Timothy Snyder, it basically talks how the wealth is being stolen from us and now with help of modern technology like social media.

  • That sum is close to the 44 billion spent on Twitter, could that somehow be the payment for it via inflating Tesla stock price?

  • It is disinformation warfare. We can argue this and that should be done, but it is unlikely it would make much difference. Many people who voted for trump had believed Harris positions that were opposite from reality. People get their news from social media which is easily manipulated.

    Ironically social media are no longer social, they are full of bots and AI generated content that is used to manipulate our views.

  • I doubt it. We are continue to underestimate information warfare. Look at Romania. A guy sympathetic to Russia who no one heard about few months ago won the first round.

    The same techniques were used this election and previous one in US and Europe and we still ignoring it.

  • The manipulation is affecting others as well. You want to see how well it works, look how pro Russia candidate in Romania who no one knew won first round, and might win the next one.

  • Elon Musk asks court to block OpenAI from converting to a for-profit

    Jump

  • Fair point, but everyone else is for profit, it is their fight for domination, I don't think we are gaining much one way or the other.

  • That's because he wants to control this market and his xAI is behind.

  • I see this blame of various groups, of Harris of Democrats often one contradicting the other, but almost no one is acknowledging that we are in the middle of information warfare. We saw is effects in invasion of crimes in 2014, in brexit in 2016, trump election of the same year, across elections in Europe and still very little is done about it.

    When some people were asked about why they voted for trump their answers were bizarre, out of touch with reality.

    Today majority of people gets the news from social media which unlike traditional MSM is much more prone to be manipulated by foreign powers. Russia especially matters it, add their active measures developed during cold war work really well with current Internet.

  • On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons From the 20th Century by Prof. Snyder is a book that everyone should read these days.
