Hexbear admin just sent me this. lol. lmao even.

some people want to post here but are repelled by "fuck tankies?"

good.

that is the intended functionality of the banner.

Generally speaking, people offended by this are either:

  • libs that dont understand the distinction between tankie and communist or have been misinformed by tankies on what its supposed to mean, but are pro communism(wierd combination?)

  • the "CCCP did nothing wrong" people

maybe having something leftist in the banner or some place like that could help the former, but I wouldnt remove the message, as it acts as a soft filter for the latter.

Pro-tip for this capitalistic hellscape

Crickets and other insects meant for consumption are actually pretty expensive, so that cant be real. There is so much cheaper food that you would actually want to eat.

I love trying out insect based food, and every time it was a lot more expensive, drier, and tasted worse than other options, so I cant imagine something like this actually going mainstream.

OpenAI brings Sam Altman back as CEO less than a week after he was fired by board

This is such a confusing and messy situation. There is definitely more going on that we dont know about. I already posted this in another thread but:

heres what I think could be going on:

tinfoil hat on

Some Microsoft bigwigs read the OpenAI foundation contract again and realise that they gave them a bunch of money but didnt get the nonprofit, and that they are now fully dependant on them, and that Altman is an experienced shark that knows this. They cant just buy the non-profit, the board would never agree. So they hatch a plan.

They get the lead researcher and a bunch of board members riled up against Altman, with a bunch of dirt they have on him. They tell them hes going to run off with the money and show some proof. The board decides to fire Altman. In the same breath but in another room microsoft hires altman, and promise all openAI employees employment at their new openAI bootleg. They then tell the board through the official channels, that they fucked up and need to resign.

Now, the situation was like this:

  • Either the board resigns, and microsoft gets to put some puppets in their place and complete buying openAI
  • The board doesnt resign, microsoft gets all their employees and the company in anything but name and openAI slowly fades in relevancy until Microsoft makes a generous offer of 150% above what they are worth(half of their price right now)

either way, microsoft wins.

so yeah, I think the next thing we are going to see is microsoft buying more openAI and getting actual control, or a complete buy.

CIA propaganda down the drain

Swapping CIA propaganda with CCP propaganda, I see. Temu does use slave labor for some products, or rather, they dont check whether the seller does and dont care when it happens. Just because that persons factory doesnt is not proof.

edit: ah it says child labor, ok no idea where that came from
