The words “marginalized” and “safety” dominate this document, so you can easily guess what kind of takeover attempt this is.

Wow, that started off very reasonable and balanced, and then suddenly veered into total dogma.

Re:Elon Musk's attempt to deceive the public and advertisers on Thursday April 04, 2024 @04:06PM (#39935191)
I’m curious how Musk changed the definition of “view” as this person claims. Maybe he goes on to explain it but I can only see the first post…
Is this parody? Or has our civilization truly just lost its way?
There is also no such thing as “the scientific community”. That’s a shibboleth deployed to shut arguments down with an ostensible show of authority.
> each day we are silent we become more complicit in this horrific genocide

Credibility lost.

When the EU shits all over private US business, you guys are like HELL YEAH, FUCK THE BOURGEOISIE, but when the EU tries to destroy cryptocurrencies, you guys are like HELP HELP I’M BEING OPPRESSED

Why is that?

State overreach, wasting enormous productivity in the process.
This is some EU-smelling shite.
That “Anonymous Comrades Collective” site is like a communist version of Kiwi Farms. What a cesspool. Steer clear.

Damn, he was spot on about this.

This is fine as long as they’re licensing model weights that each phone can use for local inference.

Any other case: NOPE

In the end, everyone’s just becoming a game company.

Er, sorry; an “experience” company.

Very depressing to see y’all cheering when the state gains more power. We should cheer when the state is kept in check.

You have the choice to buy a Samsung phone instead of an Apple phone; most people don’t have the choice to switch governments.

Well, at least you admit your racism openly I guess.

Would it be equally extremely strange to ask an AI for pictures of a black or asian family? You may be telling on yourself here.

Aside: this subreddit is incredible.

> This is a Humanist/Leftist subreddit focused on the progression of humanity, human rights, and intends to document the world as it is.

Imagine writing that without a shred of self-doubt or self-awareness, filled with righteous purpose and certainty.

The really shocking thing is how such a forum is treated as benign and normal. I bet a forum advertising itself as “Humanist/Rightist” would be met with disgust and opprobrium.

The API seems to lack tool use and a JSON mode. IMO that’s table stakes these days…
This is one of the most brazen (and reprehensible) attempts to court votes that I’ve ever seen in the USA.

The mental gymnastics required to reach this conclusion are truly impressive.
