I think AI aids the American right specifically in their quest to eliminate the role of experts (with their "liberal" educations and "progressive" values such as basic human decency for all, etc.) in discussing and determining policy, especially in regulating industry.

They want to replace protesting scientists, archivists, historians, philosophers, and other "whiny" experts with a machine that appears to make logical arguments and to be an expert, and is much more malleable and agreeable.

You see this on X all the time. Some expert says a thing and some Nazi looks to grok to refute it.

Does it matter that none of this changes reality? Not really to them. Because they aren't looking to be correct, they're looking to exercise power without pushback.

Oh now we care about precedents for some reason.

Or if we had a functional federal government we could just make this practice completely illegal, and then pass privacy laws while we're at it.

FCC too corrupt to function

I'd be very tempted to try to prompt inject.

I've thought about moving to costa rica because you don't have a military and everyone forgets you exist.

The problem is that we don’t have any information

Guess what investigating does. It gives you more information. Imagine that.

According to the CDC about 12,000 people a year hanged themselves. You don’t think any of those people are ever black?

I don't think it's likely that black people often hang themselves from a tree in a way that looks suspiciously like a lynching.

And even if it were true it’s 4 cases over 8 months across the entirety of the United States. Not exactly the kind of thing that warrants national attention

Dude, national attention is given to the most trivial of issues. Why is it undeserving in this case?

My partner's healthcare coverage would cost like $2000 a month for her and myself if she bought in. That's a huge chunk of her pay. I don't know how people are doing this shit with kids and things because not only did the coverage get shittier over time, the premiums have gone through the fucking roof.

The only affordable way to do this IMO is for each person in the household to have a full-time insurance providing job because the insurance for the employee themselves is a fraction of the cost of even covering themselves plus a spouse. Completely ridiculous.

These bitches are ruining my career and wasting my life talking to themselves about how they know what the real issue is....but wait!

So yeah, finding 8 black people hanging in public over 8 months is probably pretty normal

Yeah I'm sure that you'd love that to be the case.

I can't imagine commenting in a public forum telling people to not care and not investigate. Why would you spend your life this way?

Why would you look up statistics in an effort to tell people to do nothing?

We own guns because we've been manipulated into buying guns by the weapons industry.

They did investigate, they said it was suicide.

Got any proof that they actually did investigate?

I asked what proof you had and you said none,

No such exchange happened with me, but maybe you are having other shruggy exchanges with others.

This is how you are suppose to live your life.

Sure, bud. You're supposed to live your life looking up statistics to argue on the Internet that nothing ever happens.

It was obvious as hell that he wants Russia to win.

You all are snowflakes but please explain this to me without triggering me

Those flight logs are public information because they prevent mid air collisions, your not going to change that.

One way to prevent being personally identified is to not fly around in your own personal jet and use one of the many other available options that aren't trackable this way.

Why would your refrigerator have a screen?

Why would you buy such a refrigerator?

Duolingo has enshittified so much over the last few years.

Even if I had the ability to become a millionaire tech founder, I don't think I'd want to because every "I want to make learning new languages free and easy for everyone" becomes a "I have to drive 3% more ad revenue this quarter by charting my users' every bowel movement".

I suspect the reality of being a rich tech bro is watching your adult self slowly consume your own childhood dreams, aspirations, and soul.
