Stopped going there when they were on the extreme wrong side of a local labor dispute. Get fucked Chipotle.

There is now exactly one good thing about Tennessee, two if you can separate the beautiful landscape from the people.

You didn’t comprehend what I wrote.

You disagree with what? That this is a bleak time for the concept of humanity?

I agree with the sentiment, but purchasing a photo of oppressed people enjoying a small comfort in the middle of a destroyed city feels real bad.

A bleak time for the concept of humanity.

Clicking on the link and having it advertise “Licensable Picture” gives off an even more dystopic aura, and makes it all that much worse.

IIRC he was owner of Sky News until 2019. Not so coincidentally, the journalistic integrity of Sky News shot up afterward though remains questionable.

This comment contexualizes Meta‘s propaganda about AI, which the article doesn’t do. Mentioning Meta‘s AI blitz along with the secretive nature of this would have strengthened the article IMO.

Appreciated.

The article clearly says very little, except this:

But what Meta did with all this data is unclear.

No shit Zuck doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt. The point is this article says very little and reads like a Fox News quality fear piece. Futurism is better than that.

This seems like it’s Meta testing the boundaries of contemporary chatbots so they can refine their stuff so they don’t continually get sued. Given the absurdness of modernity, where people are using these bots in-lieu of other social interactions, this seems like a worthwhile stress test. Assuming they share the findings and don’t sell them which is likely asking too much of a corp.

I find the people in my life who blindly support Israel know nothing of the history of Zionism prior to 1948 and think Palestine was given to Israel just because of the holocaust, almost universally omitting that there were already people there and the responsibility of all western governments (I’m considering Russia “west” here) in the oppression of Jews in the years leading up to, and after, the holocaust.

The Behind the Bastards episode on Bibi Netanyahu talked about how he really got his start in the US as a lobbyist for the state of Israel and the media blitz Israel utilized to get both American parties to unconditionally support Israel. Most Americans are just propagandized af.
