His presidency perfectly summarized. He‘s a mean bully that destroys things but if you give him your lunchbox and make some flattering remarks he‘ll be a little less shitty to you, personally. Rinse and repeat until the country he runs is no more.

Guess I‘ll hold off watching news and quietly enjoy the little pre WW3 peace time I have.

Some people just hate the idea of cheap clean energy or a basket full of little puppies. It can‘t be helped.

Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.

Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.

This is the correct model. America developed very similarly, unlike parts of Eurasia which is why Europe and Asia are definitely culturally distinct, but America isn‘t. At least not for a lot of us.

Sorry „north“ Americans, but you‘re not that different from Argentinians to us.

They‘re made in two different countries but you‘re basically still right I guess.

They are already turbo unpopular and the coalition could go bust any moment. They have no good will from voters left to spend on this deeply unpopular and hypocritical commitment.

America is one continent.

ITT: Lots of angry Americans on copium. Stay strong.

They‘ve been doing a lot of research on mental health due to their long and dark Winters. I bet people would be happier everywhere if we put a higher priority on happiness. It‘s not a metric billion dollar companies seem to value.

Generally it‘s probably not a good idea to tie this to a single metric but religion could be a part of it. I would guess a strong social state is the bigger factor however. Perhaps all these things go hand in hand.

Data centers and wasting massive amounts of resources. Name a more iconic duo.

AI has no agency. It can‘t go rogue. It just does what it‘s made to do, not necessarily what it‘s supposed to do.

Oh I know a good one too! A tankie goes into a bar, does a little whataboutism.

Seriously you people are in desperate need of new material. You won‘t win anyone over with „US bad too!“ We know, but it‘s off topic here.

There was a media company in Switzerland that advertised chatrooms with your favorite influencers and many many german Influencers advertised it and told people how happy they would be just to have 1on1 chats with their fans.

Of course it turned out it was a huge scam and even though a lot of the advertised influencers were female, the overwhelming majority of paid chatters from the media company were of course guys. Some of those chats got steamy too and the company briefed their staff to love bomb and exploit their customers as much as possible. They even went as far as to fake soft porn images of the influencers they officially worked with.

There was a lot of drama, pointing fingers between influencers and the media company and legal prosecution. But most exploited fans will never see their money back or get damages for being systematically emotionally abused.

This seems to be the business model of our times. It‘s only more obvious with OF but there are parallels to many booming industries.

It‘s standard „China is 50 years ahead of us!!!“ type media coverage and a core part of Chinese propaganda. They always make these spectacular claims and by the time experts and peer reviews chime in to debunk it or at least express serious doubts there‘s already another wild technology breakthrough claim from China. They know it takes a magnitude of effort to debunk fake news so they‘re always faster than people who actually have to read through their often AI generated slop studies. Even when the tech is technically real it‘s usually blown out of proportions. Even when they accomplish impressive tasks they coat it in lies. That‘s just how Chinese propaganda operates. You have to doubt everything.

Who owns the means of production that make industris more efficient? Bingo.

I swear it‘s like people don‘t even know who or what Karl Marx is.

Aaand Poland starts to throw tantrums again. Time to cut their funding.

As usual. People have forgotten how much of a pain in the butt Poland can be to deal with for the EU when PiS has a say. This is a first reminder of many and it‘s important to note that poles voted for this.

All so they can sell AI produced goods on their AI driven platform to AI users because none of us will have jobs.
