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.

It‘s said you should be nice to secretaries because they hold a lot of soft power in an office. Now people give that kind of power over their lives to tech giants who already know way too much about them. This is bad for society. Full stop.

I‘m surprised they even had that. The average Instagram user probably doesn‘t even know what that means.

The US President and the US ministry of war have called it a war many times already. They call it a war pretty much all the time. If someone is still not calling it for what it is then they‘re probably high on Russian propaganda and didn‘t read the script. Again, the US president started a war to distract from his disastrous polling numbers and he doesn‘t even try to hide it. Unlike his close relationship to Jeffrey Epstein.

Much like Adobe‘s Acrobat which I also have to use for work. At least from what I can tell when it suddenly summarizes a PDF. There‘s no way in hell that happens locally. But the fact that it seemingly automatically processes potentially sensitive data from customers didn‘t even do as little as raising eyebrows when I brought it up.
