Remember, children, hate-watching is just as good as any other viewing statistics to streaming companies.

Just wait for 3rd party clips of the AI show, don’t watch out of morbid curiosity. Love and hate are identical to internet companies, indifference is what they fear

Die #Bundesregierung muss beim #Klimaschutz nachliefern. Das entschied heute das #Bundesverwaltungsgericht in Leipzig – das #Klimaprogramm 2023 reicht nicht aus. Damit blieb auch die Revision der Bundesregierung erfolglos: Die Klagen der #Umweltorganisationen bleiben zulässig.

“Basically, what we are finding is that people hate AI.”

As Firefox pushes AI on its users, Vivaldi does the complete opposite. Even more reason to try it.

They are right. Fuck ICE.

“.. This is a militia that kills. ..
It's a militia that enters people's homes by signing permits for themselves. … It's clear that they're not welcome in Milan, there's no doubt about that."

Thing is right, AI has been around for years in various forms and is used effectively for certain jobs in certain places and sectors.

Bullshit LLM AI which everyone keeps forcing onto people is not a fucking vital requirement in general life and should stop being paraded around as such. Fuck off.
BREAKING: Free AI training will be offered to every adult in the UK, with short courses to teach people how to use simple AI tools effectively in the workplace.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.

now hold on just one minute. when I signed on to work for a creepy right-wing surveillance company named after seeing stones used by the dark lord Sauron to manipulate and control others in an attempt to enslave the free people of middle earth I had no idea we might do some evil.
More: “I’ve read stories of folks rounded up who were seeking asylum with no order to leave the country, no criminal record, and consistently check in with authorities. Literally no reason to be rounded up. Surely we aren’t helping do that?”

AfD: Autoritarismus für Deutschland. Der neue S-A-Monitor zeigt, dass 2 von 3 AfD-Anhängern in Sachsen-Anhalt sich ein Ein-Parteien-System wünschen. Und 63% der deklarierten Rechten sind der Meinung, eine Revolution sei nötig. Spekulation vorbei, Demokratiefeindlichkeit wissenschaftlich belegt.

All I can say is: The world is watching. Fascists in Europe are trying to copy what is happening in the US. Everyone else is horrified. This tells you everything about what this is.

I know Germany is desperate to catch up (10 years late) while we could absolutely just say fuck AI and screens and go back to books and paper. Clearly, it's better for everyone.
