Everyone in the kingdom is being a big baby about the calamity that was prophesied to befall the land. Me? Grindset time. I've got a foolproof plan to avoid our fate that couldn't possibly seal it instead. No destiny on this road. I'd love to see this bullshit prophecy fulfil itself through MY acts

Very much worth reading. Some of you may remember how — years ago— I began suggesting folks document what’s happening. Write it down for future historians. These folks went further. Collecting evidence and precious memories as group efforts. To protect the truth.

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...

The new CHATBOT Act doesn’t just require parental permission for teens to use AI. It requires AI companies to build monitoring systems that store and analyze entire conversations, creating new privacy risks for entire families. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

The CHATBOT Act Forces One Parenting Model On Every Family

Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing education, and the way people search for information. Parents, teenagers, teachers, and schools are struggling with tough questions about when AI should,

If you can't do that, if you can't say "no, our researchers and employed experts have a right to express this opinion publicly, which we also think is merited and true, and it's abject nonsense that this could be construed as defamatory", then what good is your organisation?

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

Make no mistake here. This is Trump objectively taking the side of Iran, a nation we are currently at war with, over the Americans in Minnesota because he hates the governor and the fact that a majority of voters there did not vote for him

Trump: "We heard in Minnesota there was a cyberattack and they blame it on Iran. I don't think so. I blame it on Minnesota because they're grossly incompetent. Iran's got bigger problems than worrying about Minnesota."

What strikes me the most about this is it's a complete gutting of the middle class. If surveillance pricing becomes widespread, there may not be a change in consumer purchasing power across wide income levels - the 'dream' of improved quality of life is erased for higher profits

there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.
