[Video] Bolsanaro campaign editing videos with AI to transform dancing male supporters into women

Reply in thread

We're fucked. There's no such thing as reality any more. I work in science and my colleague is editor in chief of a scientific journal. He gave up the job this week. The sheer amount of AI garbage that is submitted, he cannot handle it any more in the given timeframe. This is just one scientific journal, imagine this is happening all over in science. The pillars that create our knowledge of the world, science, the media, literature, the arts: however flawed, biased and imperfect they were, it's over. The fake machine kills it. All potential growth that AI might create at some domains of the economy will be eaten up by this effect that erodes our trust in science or our knowledge of the world at scale. Let alone the non-monetary damage it does to the very fabric of our society.

ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy?

Apart from it's an old story, discussed already back and forth, Proton's claims regarding privacy are really weak. Especially when it comes to presenting Switzerlamd as a privacy safehaven. Switzerland is a tax evasion savehaven, not a privacy safehaven, Proton. How Proton puts it: we provide world class privacy (but have to break our claims and comply with Swiss law immediately once there is a legitimate or not request from law enforcement, oepsie sorreyy!)

Most popular country for young Europeans (18-34) to emigrate to

Fuck Germany. I'm German. Honestly don't go there if you have better choices. Not because I don't want you here, you're more than welcome. Because you'll get milked. Germany is impoverishing your country with all sorts of tricks. Look back at the Euro crisis and what we did with Greece. Look at their massive export surplus which basically means we're exporting deindustrialiuation to you. Look at what we did with the former GDR. Fuck Germany and their capitalist class.

Proton is dead (for me). Let's collect and discuss alternatives! ✊🛡

They have doubled down officially with their official Mastodon account https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503 I therefore consider this official opinion of Proton. Focussing on one aspect and completely ignoring the bigger picture of a luming fascist period in the most militarized economy of the world is just inacceptable. Proton just could have kept their mouth shut, but they decided not to.

It's never been about helping people

Prison (hell #1) and homelessness (hell #2): the two whips of the capitalist state to lash us into wage labour slavery. "No underpaid job can be too bad to accept, or do you want to risk not be able paying your exorbitant rent, risk to become homeless? Sell your labour for the lowest price so some capitalist can make 2-3 times the profit of what you gain, which is bareley enough to pay another capitalist your rent." This is what the capitalist state enforces by holding up these two hells. We don't have a prison system by accident, homelessness is not a natural phenomenon. They exist by design. It's not about the money that prisons cost in comparison to what housing a homeless person costs. The money for prisons is a fair price to pay for a capitaliat state given the MUCH larger sum of money that its capitalist class can extract of us by making us obedient and doing the even shittest job for the shittest pay to suck the most possible surplus out of our work. Become communist. Sabotage. Seize the means of production. Be a grain of sand in this machine.
