“Antarctica’s west coast” is a curious phrase…

I guess the closest thing to this that’s happening is BRICS and their efforts to do less international trade in dollars. De-dollarization freaks out the US ruling class, so you know it’s a good thing. Just wish it would happen faster.

This is true but also you could simply do an opposing disinformation campaign.

Yes, I’m aware which version of events is generally accepted in the west. Of course I’ve heard others, including that violence didn’t even take place in Tiananmen square, but only in the surrounding streets. Will we ever know for sure which is most accurate? Unfortunately nope. What I do know for sure is that there are people, on all sides of the debate, who will gladly lie to smear the other side, and I’m interested in the truth, not the propaganda, or the “official story”.

Also note that “brainwashing” is not a real thing.

Sure, it just seems to beg a little skepticism when we’re told that these same tanks, just hours ago, were smashing through crowds, crushing bodies in tests, murdering thousands, when just one seemingly random dude brings the whole column to a stop, then climbs on top and has a chat with the driver. I know I’ve seen American police ram protestors with SUVs for less.

I mean, “remembering his bravery” with a candle light vigil kind of implies he didn’t just walk away.

Have you guys seen the “tank man” video? Media like to call it a “photo” but it’s a still frame from a video. When you watch the video, it doesn’t quite make the same impression.

The “let’s get rid of plastic straws” thing took off specifically because it’s insignificant. They can all just order a crate of paper straws and pat themselves on the back and it’s business as usual. Doing something meaningful about climate change and/or plastic pollution would actually require some effort, and might even make line go down for a minute, and we can’t have that!

💯

But of course, as a puppet of the US empire, reality is rarely considered when speaking…

“My country isn’t getting bombed enough, please guys, kill more of my people!”

I was born to be a good time 😎

Haha starve bitches.

…a team member used the AI to fix a simple typo in a pull request.

A little beside the point, but why on earth would you use copilot to fix “a simple typo?”

Just the phrase “fix my typo” contains about 10 more characters than a typical “simple typo”.

Maybe there’s some context I’m missing, but I get the impression that the people using these chatbots every day just have their brains melted. Like even the most rudimentary task becomes daunting without the help of their little bullshit machine.

Yeah…no surprises here. Argentina isn’t usually part of the club, but Milei is a nutjob, so yeah, no surprises.

Text has power. People have done worse because of what they read on 4chan.

And sure, yeah, a well-adjusted person isn’t going to end up thinking chatgpt is their wife, but it’s not like anybody has access to mental healthcare around here.

So it seemed safer, but went down hill, like as in less engaging, more boring, that sort of thing?

Y’all need to get rid of this guy asap.

I didn’t feel like writing a long comment, but yes, good explanation! We really need to reign in these companies because their products are fundamentally untrustworthy.
