Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes

If the Canadian government were real it would exact punishing fines on the company's Canadian held assets in response to this. And I don't mean cost of business fees, I mean hurtful costs, because these giant fucking companies seriously damage Canadian lives when they just rugpull the labour after making massive profits of Canadian operations. There is no justifiable reason to side with Ubisoft or their scumsucking management here.

Wealth tax would be deadly for French economy, says Europe’s richest man

Firstly, that's just naked projection. Secondly... GOOD.

Sincerely, we need to treat people who can't or won't conceptualize 'enough' as hoarders with mental illness. He can never use his immense opulence or spend all of what he has, and he can't be happy with it either. He should be separated from it, given a stipend that will meet all his needs and desires from it while he GOES TO REHAB, and the rest should be reinjected into the economy for social gain, and used to pay for the public programs and systems that made society work to begin with. Mostly because if it never worked he would never have had this opportunity to destroy it for his own pride.

We hate AI because it's everything we hate

The reason we hate AI is cause it's not for us. It's developed and controlled by people who want to control us better. It is a tool to benefit capital, and capital always extracts from labour, AI only increases the efficiency of exploitation because that's what it's for. If we had open sourced public AI development geared toward better delivering social services and managing programs to help people as a whole, we would like it more. Also none of this LLM shit is actually AI, that's all branding and marketing manipulation, just a reminder.

CBS to Cancel ‘Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ Citing ‘Financial Decision’

Hey, gotta pay for their corrupt bribes somehow, right?

Stephen deserves better, so does the audience, and I hope he spends the rest of the time there making the pus-sucking execs regret their bullshit. While I doubt they can feel shame or embarrassment, I'm confident he can find ways to make the stain set; and then move on to do something independent so I can support him, cause through ups and downs he's been a real one for a large part of my life. Mostly I hope Paramount actually dies of shame and fails entirely as a company, and the merger their executives burning this all for is a monkey's paw that gives them all gigaherpes and ass cancer.

Microsoft is working to rebuild trust in Windows

MS is about to learn how hard it is to build trust in commercial markets, and why it's a terrible decision to set that on fire for a short term profit. Honestly, it's hard to find a better example of a company that had a more comfortable and ideal position in their market, that just decided to disrupt itself without any pressure or prompting. You wanna gamble, you gotta be ready to lose.

US gives money to Israel which then funds AIPAC who then funds corporations who take money from citizens? Is that right?

Reply in thread

It's the question that's weird actually. Does anyone ever ask if Australia has a right to exist? Does anyone ask if America has a right to exist? It's called sowing doubt, and it's always in this context and it's always the same goal in this current media ecosystem. Abdul is just demonstrating the nature of the question which you simply don't see people do, either becuase media outlets coach them not to, or they're caught off guard by the implicit gaslighting. If you and I had a public conversation and I, unprovoked, kept asking you if I have a right to live, people watching might start to think you don't think I do regardless of how you answer despite how absurd the question is to ask in what we consider civilized society.

Trump Trolls European Leaders With AI Map Showing Greenland, Canada, and Venezuela as US Territories

This media can't differentiate between trolling and threats. Just like tRump 'floating' wildly illegal actions to test popularity and desensitize the public before just doing them regardless. I haven't decided whether this is intentional misrepresentation and journalistic malpractice, or ignorance and incompetence (a different kind of malpractice), but I do know the outcome is the same either way.
