Its more complex and worse than that. They use this as proof of their technology so that they win government weaponisation contracts and the governments are paying them to make more genAI.

Meanwhile its becoming illegal to view a real person naked...

Also wait... There was a war on Protein?
Is this like a euphemism?

Is it too early to remind US citizens that they are basically sacks of meat now given their current regime. #soylent

Dear gods sir. I hope you have Imodium.

If you dig far enough you find out why Trump has a hard on for punishing Maduro. Maduro has dirt on Trump's real estate being used for money laundering.

Real estate mogul Trump sold condos to regime-connected Venezuelans
At least half a dozen Venezuelans linked to government officials purchased Trump condominiums in New York City and South Florida prior to Trump becoming president.

I'm surprised Your Department of War Crimes hasn't announced an invasion of Iran yet to save the poor civilians being persecuted this week.

Oh wait... The orange turnip just threatened that...

Unfortunately, this is more a market grab than a resource grab.
This is cutting out a supplier and I wouldn't bet against the US positioning themselves to be the first to help Russia recover given all the tankers they lost recently.

See. This is how you create a new Al Qaeda/ISIS or at - but only 3000mi from your territory. Didn't learn a thing from Ireland or any other historical bullying. GG USA.

This was all new to me and unfortunately I went down the rabbit hole to the amazingly bad trash fire that is Epic Games's KWS company.

That said, some clever people have implemented solutions here for anyone that has bothered to read this far.

Oh, and how did Bsky inform users of this?

Well with a popup notification on their settings page. Good Job Team!

Refs for the sceptics.

And from a meta analysis of just one service used by Bsky. The actual method is very vague and has no privacy guarantees.

For those with their heads in the sand. This means passing private info off to an offshore 3rd party that isn't MS or Google to use AI to make that decision with no guarantee of data safety.

Bsky just chose to use KWS to do this and blocked all NSFW and direct messages for non-verified users.

Five of those words do not belong in the same sentence.

And on that note I plan to do a US style BBQ on on Boxing Day.
Venezuelans not included. #toosoon?

That's also something we strive for.

Personally my head canon is still that Trump is Nostradamus's 3rd Antichrist.

There is a very weird republication from the late 1970s that eerily predicted the gulf wars and Trumps 1st election. I wish I could find it or a copy, but I fear that book vanished along with my crazy mother 10yrs ago
