Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I suppose I don't even want to hear specifics about that use of machine learning...

[..] because the average person is genuinely powerless against the system

that is what the rich assholes want us to believe. Of course the individual is powerless, but if just 10-20% of mankind happened to be pulling on the same end of the rope for once (I know, fat chance of that happening), this stupid system could be fixed. As long as people are willing to betray their peers for minimal (perceived) personal gain, we're being useful idiots to those who have been stealing their billions from everyone.

Yeah, fat chance. You essentially think I'm personally responsible for AI because I occasionally use it to make filler clipart. There is no way in hell that you're going to accept any of my existing flaws, let alone approach me with anything resembling class solidarity in order to stage some type of revolution or whatever. I don't expect that there are too many people willing to overlook petty bullshit like that to be honest.
