translation from Russian: they will keep bombing schools and hospitals in Ukraine, but now it’s going to be a “reaction” just because they were provoked

“he’s no longer the sensitive man and caring lover that I used to know”

That would be… horrifyingly effective. Just the thought makes me want to bleach my brain

" Under the mighty gaze of our Beloved Supreme Leader, steel folded and the Great Warship itself bowed. Cower and tremble, enemies of our Powerful State!"

I was not blaming your country at all, you’re more than doing your part. It’s just frustrating.

Thinking of the families of the victims, I hope that knowing they are not forgotten and people are trying to uncover the truth about what happened will at least provide some closure.

The Netherlands and Australia want the ICAO Council to order Russia to enter into talks on possible reparations

“enter into talks on possible reparations”. Absolutely brutal, I wouldn’t want to be Russia right now…

and he would have done it too! If only that Biden stopped interfering and ruining the economy. /s

I think that’s already uncomfortably close to reality.

A fully AI company was already tried as an experiment. There is also a company that appointed an AI CEO but I suspect this one is a publicity stunt. The experiment was a “failure” by the way, with AI agents only completing less than 20% of the tasks in the fake company and with some hilarious mishaps. But 20% of a company tasks being done in full autonomy by (not specifically trained) AI is scary.

Right now, various socials are full of AI generated fake engagement, images and videos. Meta is offering AI-powered ads. The obvious question I see asked every time, also here on Lemmy, is: if most of Facebook becomes a zombie world where comments and fake engagement is all LLMs, who would buy those Meta ads? That question was actually what inspired this wildly successful (-27 votes and counting!) showerthought of mine: this fake engagement only makes sense if Meta thinks we’ll give AI more and more agency to choose the products we buy and (eventually) buy them on our behalf. So it’s going to be AI convincing other AIs to buy. Our money becomes sentient, so to speak,

Crazy talk, right? Well…

Thanks! I’ll try longer showers.

I like the comparison. We used to think of the Economy like this hard-to-control, vital but occasionally dangerous natural force, like Gravity. The showerthought was that with the advent of machine models, money has started becoming sentient and making decisions without us.

Fair enough… I meant more in the sense of investment/pension funds. Or the fact that the actual value of the bills in our pockets is driven up or (more frequently) down and probably so does the interest rate of your mortgage or the price of your fuel. And maybe not for you, but the algorithms on social media do have influence on what company you choose for your insurance.

I did read the article and indeed the content is about what you say. On the other hand, I don’t know if titling this as “Canada might be the second election Trump wins in six months” is an attempt at sarcasm, click-bait or spin (pretending not to know the number of people who will only ever read the title). It’s sad that I now I jump directly to believing the latter so I do hope that I’m wrong

Sky news spin: haha, Carney was actually Trump’s win! I can’t make this shit up (but apparently Sky news can…)

I’ve seen the name now and you are right, Sorry, I’ve been superficial

It means they double checked and the driver was definitely white

It didn’t impact that small island inhabited only by penguins, so it’s not technically a “global” recession, ok?

As an alien I would now spend all my time targeting wannabe influencers. Wait until they are alone, get naked and let them take high-quality pictures and videos of my green ass while I dance and play yankee doodle on my harmonica

Wait, my hand is still on the piece… I… have … not… completed… my… move

worth giving it a try…do NOT, I repeat do NOT spray RFK Jr with DDT every time you see him. I am a liberal and this would really make me cry. Don’t do it!

seems like he learned his negotiation skills from the scene in Blazing Saddles where the black sheriff points a gun to his own head. “Do what he says! Do what he says!”
