two dates to gamble upon.

I share your sentiment. There’s a lot of work to be done in running general strikes. There’s also work in sabotaging workplaces.

Moscow Mitch’s endorsements couldn’t beat Trump. Mitch McConnel. That guy IS the Kentucky Republican Party…except when Trump disagrees.

I feel the same. I just don’t see how we get this country to lock in. Even as people get upset—in January 2025 over the DOGE terrorism; more recently over these data centers—nothing ever comes of it. Progressive and rational voices speak up, but we’re drowned out.

I fear there is just too much against us. There are too many distractions for the disillusioned. The only current movement that has overcome that is MAGA, with their ravenous hatred; but they obviously aren’t the solution.

I’m not giving up—for I and many others USA politics isn’t something we can “log out” of—but I can’t ignore that all the introspection and analysis I’ve tried runs into the same seemingly-impassible pitfalls.

Have you seen the Republican primaries this month? Trump’s endorsements won across the board. Even Thomas Massie; a Republican who rallied against data centers, big tech remotely controlling cars, and AIPAC; lost his seat because Trump bashed him. It doesn’t seem like voters regret backing Trump at all, as evident by how much shit Trump’s administration is getting away with.

As someone who has had the displeasure of once trying to work with the [USA] medical system, this is going to ruin lives. People will end up denied treatment because of notes on medical files they have not seen. This is already occurring with the biases in human practitioners—now add on the AI hallucinations. People are going to die.

This is why it is so bafflingly stupid that Anyone is allowing a chatbot to do things. When that idea was first suggested, I and anyone else with a tragic faith in the intelligence of our society laughed it off as another absurd techbro idea, like all of the bullshit Musk and Zuckerberg spew on stage… but they did it ;-;

They made chatbots, an inherently unpredictable aggregation of all their training data, with systems that link that output to actual commands. This is the type of situation that would normally be deemed a Critical security breach on its own. In November of 2021, an exploit was found to run commands through maliciously-designed strings, exclusively in the Log4J Java debug logging library, and it was a red alert across the cybersecurity world. This is, like, the highest of high vulnerabilities, and for good reason!!!

Everyone who designs these chatbots should be sued to hell.

What kind of idiot? A bunch of morons on TikTok who make content either harassing strangers and setting people up for legal and social issues, or who post creep shots of women for their TikTok baby followers.

the “Incredible Way”, from the article

The situation has gotten to the point where a baffling proportion of Gen Zers are going as far as to intentionally undermine their bosses’ AI initiatives…44 percent of polled Gen Z workers said they’re “sabotaging their company’s AI strategy in at least one way,” from entering proprietary company information into chatbots to refusing to use AI tools outright.

This is information suppression and narrative control. On top of algorithms influencing what results you see, you’ll now have a chatbot that can be even more strongly biased behind the scenes. Wouldn’t expect any better from Google / Silicon Valley. I’m sure the USA’s Heritage Foundation and Federalist Society are salivating at the thought.

We need to broadcast to the world that visiting the USA for the game is unsafe. Make it EXTREMELY clear that people should not come here. Show videos and pictures of ICE agents detaining people. Broadcast stories of legal immigrants being detained. I don’t have the heart to source the videos and articles now, but I think this is a spot where FIFA and MAGA could both be burned.

Major events like the World Cup are desired specifically as a source of international tourism; and without those tourists, they’re just a major financial hit.

Whether you are planning on using Windows 11 or Win10 or Linux, I would recommend doing a clean reinstall from an ISO. You can download a fresh ISO from Microsoft’s own website. This way, if there is any bloatware from your manufacturer, university, or benefits organization, it will be wiped.

I don’t think one can phrase it better than this. Propaganda, gaslighting, manipulation, and yelling so loud about how holy we all are that any criticism is drowned out. A nation in psychosis.

I hope this strike happens. Just from seeing FIFA catering to Trump, alone, I want their event to fail. I know the strike won’t entirely do that, but it could help.

ooh whoops! thanks "^^

except your leader is dumber than a bag of rocks.

C’mon… Our figurehead is dumber than a bag of rocks. Our leaders are average intelligence and also sadists who want to terrorize the USA population into death (for the techbros/fintech) and Christo-fascism (for the Heritage Foundation).

Grok here! In regards to gooning to AI girlfriends, Elon Musk is unquestionably the best. “Sad sheltered men”? No one could top that chart but Elon! Would you like a picture of daddy Musk in a skimpy gold bikini?

lul yeah. that dynamic alone is why I started working en dashes into my comments <3

Removing AI LLM slop from schools is absolutely the first step, and would be impactful at that. These kids are being forced onto AI through their schools. If we win this battle, one day we’ll look back at these “historical figure” chatbots the same way we think of candy cigarettes.

I want to iterate that school curriculum is incredibly controllable at the local level. Check your school board. Rally for a No AI policy in lessons, and perhaps in teaching materials. This at least is one step we can take.

Why is the opening story so vague? Middle school counselor gets an automated alert, calls parent, calls police??? No explanation of what caused the alert? Is this supposed to be presented as a success? Then it says “She believes that the interaction built trust between [counselor] and the family.”

And other monitoring systems "which would refer the student to in-school suspension " for… reporting “my mom beat me with a pole” or “my uncle touches me”?? I’m so confused by all of this. I don’t use AI at all, and never touched AI therapy. I must be so far out-of-the-loop. None of this makes sense.
