The first person on the panel, wearing two monocols and a rainbow progress lapel pin, "well you see, obviously we all want universal healthcare, but the reality is, we just cant afford it" as they say this, they sign another pledge to send billions of bombs to lebanon via isreal and just after an intern crawls in and delivers a bar of gold right in front of everyone as the camera pans to the next democrat who then rags about how progressives are just self defeating losers while he unawarely stands on the neck of a protestor and vocally wonders why they always complain so much as he twists his heel into the protesters larynx, the third democrat on the panel has fallen asleep - once a civil rights champion in the 1830's, their age has crept up on them, but their district still seems to keep voting their coffin in regardless

I was able to get it to play, but, the ship and video itself are unconvincing

I just dont understand why they would program in a little light show, it dosent seem functional and instead just makes me think of a guy in cluttered garage going "well, itll look cool" as they flash an arduino to cycle through leds for a fun hobby project

Maybe im cynical, but i find it hard to beleive aliens would go through all the trouble of getting here and add that kind of flair - and if the aliens really wanted to be noticed surely they could just hover and do tricks over a populated city - or idk - use their advanced technology and civilization to say hello, drop a leaflet, or just land in central park and shake our hand - if the stories are to be beleived and theyve been around forever, surely by now theyd know who we are and how to make an introduction at this point

So, either these are the most capable but socially inept aliens ever, or its a more mundane human made hobby - or who knows, maybe putting on a 70s light show was their whole goal and thats all they have to say which would probably be even more dissapointing than the hobbiest in his garage

If he's responsable for all this, i dont like him

Truly, thanks for being one of the people keeping lemmy alive - im a bit of a lurker, mostly upvoting and curating - occasionally commenting and adding in my own way - but i probably wouldnt still be here if it wasnt for all your memes bringing some levity to all the serious news and discussion

Thank you Picard Maneuver!

I think there is an uncomfortable connection being made by this art, as robot has etymological connections to slavery, and so do the hangings

My hatred of ai is towards the system, death to the system, not really towards the individual slaves which mediate it

Yeah the downvotes on yours make no sense to me, i was just adding to your point not even countering it, but the ratio is silly

The definition of fascism is the marriage of corporation and state

• Benito Mussolini

This is part of what true fascism looks like

Bravo for accepting the inconvenience of actually leaving and making the statement.

In aggregate, it changes things from the bottom up.

We dont yet know if the assassin is from the left

Does he try to look like the devil, or does that apperance just like, manifest itself after doing enough evil?

secrecy orders have been imposed not only on inventions affecting military defense but also on those alleged to threaten economic stability, with critics noting that many such restrictions rest on speculative or unproven harms.

But also

The law applies broadly to all inventions in the United States for which a patent is filed or granted (35 U.S.C. § 181).

So if you really do have a society changing invention - one that could upset this capitalist or neoliberal world order - it is your duty to publically release it and not patent it

It is, yesterday when this was posted, a commenter zoomed in on the leafblower text and it was clearly generated

I will maintain ownership of the repository, but I won't pass it down to anyone else. First, because I feel it's not up to me to decide who to pass the project down to, and second, because there is no one else to pass the project to.

"But I want and can maintain it, can I take it over?" Let me put it plain and simple: No! I don't know you, I don't trust you! Fork it and carry on!

Bravo

Is the process of tearing and chewing the ai art, he made actual art

Gang and nude are now censored words to some? Jeez

Their govornment killed 19 protesters after a giant crackdown, and the people finally said "fuck this" and defied their oppressors

Or, it's because whoever is doing this hates freedom of information and historical evidence. There's a long list of powerful people and governments who have the resources and will to carry out these attacks.

Cyber warfare is real, and the Internet archive is a museum and library of culture and truth. It provides evidence and context to our past.

As in conventional war, it is valuable to the amoral to destroy culture and truth in order to control it. Many would like to kill that to supplant it with their version of events that can't be refuted with evidence.

The man, named as Ryan English in the court documents, turned himself in to police near an entrance to the Capitol.

Sure, sure - this definitely dosent sound like a planted story that will then be referenced as evidence to justify horrible things

Please show up at your local mayday protest next Thursday, check with 50501. This cannot continue.

The cabinet will not save us.

The legislature will not save us.

The courts will not save us.

We must save us.

3.5% or more of the US must come out and protest this coming Thursday and through the weekend.

Skip work, skip school, skip whatever you can, if it's not stopped soon with a show of unity we will not recover.

This...this is literally them listening to their voters?

They wanted to do something, and their voters said "we don't like that", so they stopped.

So many things to complain about this president, but this little story is good news if we want the president to listen to voters.
