On the contrary, they are impervious to truth. They don’t react to it. They don’t even know what to do with it.

Bruno oublie aussi de mentionner que la richesse est bien déjà créée en allant grossir les poches toujours plus démesurées des milliardaires, alors il serait temps d’arrêter de nous prendre pour des cons.
I find the label relatively innocuous, and it may be lost battle as it is already widely used. I’m much more wary of the false promises, which is why I tried to make the point that what we call AI, at the moment, is just a glorified statistical machine.
LLMs are part of AI, just as Machine Learning.
That’s exactly what AI is.
Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.
Et si on les appelaient des cathoréacs, vu qu’il n’y a pas grand chose de laïc dans leur croisade islamophobe incessante?
C'est fou qu'on soit rendus à féliciter une journaliste de faire le minimum qu'exige son travail, à savoir parler aux personnes visées par une loi et la vindicte populaire, but here we are
Standing up to invading bullies is pretty straightforward.
It is a tragedy that the more Apartheid boy isolates himself in his bubble of insane wealth, drugs and Nazi bile, the less likely he is to get the solid slap he desperately needs.
He is removed from reality at large. The guy belongs to a psych ward.
A study of “whether and how public media systems contribute to the health of democracies in 33 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, the Middle East, Latin America, and South America” showed that secure funding for public media supports democracy. www.niemanlab.org/2022/01/do-c... #CBC
There’s nothing incredible about a party of superstitious racist dipshits falling in line behind a fascist pedophile. It’s the most expected thing. What’s unexpected is the total failure of the US democracy to contain those assholes.
Qu'en est-il de la "culture" dans les sciences sociales. ? Qu'y devient cet attribut qui architecturerait des communautés et sociétés distinctes les unes des autres et commanderait des manières d'agir reconnaissables chez leurs membres ? Un 🧵 en deux parties. Première partie.
Des vulnérables qui pensent que d’autres qu’eux, encore plus vulnérables, vont souffrir davantage. Et c’est tout ce qui leur importe.
Those golf clubs could be put to so good use, in the right hands.
Ça s’effondre oui, mais ça s’effondre plus fort pour les vulnérables que pour les suprémacistes blancs donc c’est un win.
How do you explain the NYT’s cowardice before Trump in its inability to clearly name things? Is it fear? An oversimplistic, blinding understanding of neutrality and objectivity? An unavowed affinity with fascism?
DOGE stealing all databases.
Surely he meant that the christo-fascists would ban it, right?
Went with Tidal. I just miss Spotify Connect with my AV receiver, but so far the switch has been mostly painless.
“Intellectual,” or rather anti-intellectual.
Il n’y a pas de baffe assez forte pour être à la mesure de l’outrecuidance de ce Tartuffe.
It’s like people slowly killing themselves in their irrational fear of toxins and faith in deadly miracle cures.
The Descent?
I believe it is the opposite. They strongly believe in the value of cruelty, and winning is just a mean to the end of unleashing this cruelty. They won, but they are not content with it, and won’t be until they have inflicted maximum pain and caused maximum destruction.
That’s not true. There are tremendous levels of spite and cruelty, with a strong intent to inflict pain and the imperious urge to systematically do the wrong thing.
Je viens de recevoir Clair Obscur!
The US’ petro-fascist crusade against clean energy is really just cutting their nose to spite their face. A cancer of concentrated malevolence blinded by rage.
2 options devant la susceptibilité de ce monde-là à la post-vérité fascisante. 1. Soit leur culture historique et politique est bien trop médiocre pour la haute opinion qu’ils ont d’eux-mêmes. 2. Soit ils savent très bien ce qu’ils font, et ce sont des dangers publics, Je mise sur la 1, mais...
You can parade with a Nazi flag in support of a genocidal ideology, but god forbid you draw rainbows.
So, compelled speech. How very constitutional.
The sheer stupidity of not having such a line in a country that is the perfect geographical setup for it is infuriating.
Not the main point but the same energy as 9 seconds of running a giant high definition screen the size of a dining table to generate a tiny amount of incorrect text is actually nuts
« having so much influence and choosing not to use it in the face of a genocide your government is helping to perpetuate, and your engagement knocks from the front page, is not “neutrality”. It is a deliberate choice. »
But who is actually working towards it?
Brandishing the constitution in the face of fascists is like trying to explain the rules of chess to a pidgeon knocking over the pieces on the board. You have to move the pidgeon out of the way.
I would pay 10$/month for BlueSky's operating costs if it meant keeping billionaires and nazis out of its community.
She doesn’t have a soul to bother her.
Speech is the expression of ideas. Although the medium is necessary to the expression of ideas, and its choice may on occasion constitute the message itself, is it not conceptually distinct?
Seven months in, and they are openly talking about rounding up trans people in concentration camps to treat them like rabid dogs. These Nazis need to be locked up, by force.
It’s not just about animal rights. Beef and dairy also pose a serious environmental threat. Eliminating red meat is one of the most impactful things an individual can do to reduce their carbon footprint. So I keep eating chicken and fish on occasion, but I’ve let beef go, for instance.
I know, I miss saucisson and ris de veau as much as any French person. And forgoing cheese would be cause for depression. But taste shouldn't be the only parameter in the equation, don't you think?
Would you consider the facts and arguments in favor of veganism or vegetarianism if they were laid graciously?
Western leaders have appeased Donald Trump since he returned to power, only to be hit with new demands after every concession. On Tuesday, Trump declared economic war on countries that regulate its tech companies. It’s time for the world to break from the US and aggressively target Silicon Valley.
But what are the consequences for the BBC besides strongly worded condemnations? How do you make them stop? A question that progressive forces all over the western world have to keep asking themselves about their reactionary media and political landscapes, increasingly creeping toward fascism.
And mass shootings frequency remains consistently high enough that it is always too soon. How convenient is that. Honestly, it won’t stop until you remove these people. Physically.
That's only because most anti-vegans are reactionary, selfish pricks.
You jest, but there lies the contemporary tragedy: carelessness and self-centeredness are fun, while being reasonable and doing the right thing are not.
Yes it is, but if it is the only thing you ever bother to consider, it says more about you than about the intrinsic quality of meat.
The movie ‘The Zone of Interest’ captures this bucolic, peaceable life right next to a death camp.
Europe and Canada need to build up their military. If this fascist administration doesn’t collapse under the weight of its economic ineptitude, there will be war.
It’s the point. They are sad perverts who expect to fill the void of their empty life with the high of cruelty.
And he is not a strongman. He is a whiny bitch only deriving strength from being surrounded by lots of whinier bitches.
So the rule of law doesn’t matter anymore, is what you are saying? And there are a lot of other more or less violent means.
Le 10 septembre devrait être l’occasion d’organiser une grande chasse au facho, cette espèce invasive mal éradiquée après la guerre.
L’idiocracy était stupide, mais pas maléfique, et s’est avérée capable de reconnaître plus intelligent qu’elle. La réalité est bien pire, avec une kakistocratie perverse, cruelle, sadique, arrogante.
Il est pas facho il est pro-libârté voyons
Parce qu’on a diabolisé toute velléité de voir plus loin que son nombril en totalitarisme mortifère, et qu’il est bien pratique de pouvoir blâmer chaque individu isolément pour sa corruption, plutôt que tout le système qui l’a encouragée?
People pay thousands of dollars to be served bad food at a Mar-a-Lago dinner. They don’t care about bad food, they have no taste. They care about stoking the flames of culture war, and anything will do. Anything.
Sealioning aka tasing seals
Fascism is black & white I can see colors! Checkmate liberals.
On attend la chronique de Richard Martineau sur les pauvres petits lapins incessamment
They plan on having eradicated anyone that could ever hold them accountable before that.
If you would kill Hitler if you could go back in time, now is your chance, as history is repeating itself.
Mais n’y a-t-il donc personne pour avoir ses qualités sans ses défauts?
Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht
And yet.
State-run capitalism under a white supremacist autocrat is called fascism. Say it.
No he can not. He will have to be made to, forcefully.
...at the slightest push from a clueless but sycophantic bot. Science denial, conspiracy theorizing, LLM-fuelled grandiosity: it all comes down to an over-inflated sense of competence and importance. There lies the vulnerabiliy of the gullible 2/2
I will die on this hill: people *really* need to learn humility. I's not just about the tech bros overselling a resource-obese, glorified magic 8-ball like it's a Promethean gift (it's not). It's also about the nobodies who all too easily fall in love with the smell of their own farts... 1/2
Si par liberté on entend liberté d'être un parfait connard, ça se tient.
It's high time they find anger instead of fear in their heart.
If liking the necessary consequences of sexual reproduction of human life on Earth is a red flag to you, you are in a death cult.
Because capitalism rewards antisocial personality disorders.
elbows up 🙄 "Selon le ministère des Travaux publics, le gouvernement fédéral ne peut exclure les entreprises américaines des appels d’offres sans s’exposer à des représailles." lp.ca/5Tn9CU?shari...
Ça transpire l’arrogante médiocrité
Even worse, we are at a point where depraved sociopathy has been naturalized, while any form of moral virtue or ethical standard is rejected as unnatural oppression. Fascists are operating a moral polarity reversal.
But how much of that is the deed of fascism-enabling tech bros and their planet-destroying bs?
I just sold mine for this reason (mostly).
Le conservatisme est un inhumanisme
Le journalisme tv est mort et enterré. Plus personne n’a de colonne, et je soupçonne même une absence d’âme.
Why do the nitpicky details of now include confederate statues?
Fucking spineless coward
Seif-centered dipshit with a pathological kink for obscene wealth is cozier with fascism than with redistribution.
European whites also laugh at what US whites consider culture and heritage 💀
DEI hires would have worked on those, but…
Vice signalling as in-group validation of their worst moral traits, circle-jerking toward total fascist depravation.
Quelle esti de couille molle
You don’t suggest a Nazi to see a psychiatrist; you force him to.
It’s not broken, it’s pretty consistently pointing south.
“AI Integrator | Business Excellence Expert | Heroic Coach. Blending AI with state-of-the-art methodologies and insights for thriving organizations and people” The world is dying of these extremely full of themselves yet so very impressionable minds.
What brain
Jusque dans l’histoire dont elle se drape, donc.
À noter que ce n’est certainement pas une coïncidence. La droite, de par son suprémacisme intrinsèque, se croit autorisée à affirmer sa domination aussi bien sur la vérité que sur ses inférieurs (femmes, personnes racisées, pays conquis…). Le projet politique de la droite, c’est l’arrogance totale.
Ce qui revient au même, la droite ayant décidé de se faire le point de ralliement de tous les fourvoiements épistémiques, du déni climatique et de la COVID aux fantasmes racistes et sexistes en passant par l’abandon à une foi superstitieuse.
