I must then ask, as someone not familiar with Irish politics.

Are they wrong? Does she actually want to leave the EU and or NATO?

Partially because we allow every decent company that pops up here to be bought out by Americans.

We can't trust any negotiations we make with him long term anyways.

Quite frankly, in the absolute best case scenario, we have to hunker down, diversify trade, bolster our support systems, and hope to high heavens that our neighbours start back taking their lithium.

parties kinda cant really afford not to take donations from gambling companies.

Can they not?

Is spending so linked that its such a direct ratio?

If so, how are you not already completely owned by corporations?

Inherently then, anyone actually trying to improve the country must pick some lobbyist groups to exclude no?

Seriously, these are a crazy mix of viewpoints.

What in the world are these self defeating mixes of opinions.

I don't think any human being of good health could hold those opinions simultaneously and in good faith.

She by no means has a layup trying to win in Texas. This doesn't belong here.

No, we actually want reddit to lose because FOSS models of worth will be completely impossible if we allow AI to be treated this way by copyright, instead of the obvious sane conclusion which should be that its up to the people who've used the tools to pass copyright tests by traditional means, as in, was the work transformatively different to an extent that it is different work?

I think perhaps there could be something to be said for FOSS ai simply not having damages, but I really think we ought not be so gun happy with regulating AI, because some of the biggest proponents of regulation, are AI companies, and I think that should be really telling to us.

They know they're the only ones with the funding to acquire enough material "legitimately", so they are building moats via regulatory capture, and many people, being too happy to jump in resistance to AI are helping them get the worst possible outcome for our freedom.

It truly is absurd to see Germany slowly slipping backwards.

Once the US breaks, all hell will probably break lose in Germany, especially since Im imagining a lot of countries will be trying to make concessions to appease full blown fascist US.

Russia is losing a war, but ultimately it seems they're going to win, not through weapons, but corruption.

Fitting for Russia really.

At the same time, easier, in that there is a lot less toxicity and bots targeting the lemmyverse

Like recently, I found a reddit thread that had a pretty obviously racist meme.

It was extremely highly upvoted, but something really felt uncanny about it, because I know racism is ramping up, but this was too blunt to feel natural to me.

Then, so many comments defending the racism were there it was odd.

That's when I decided to look into the profiles of these comments and 9/10 of them were a year old or less, with very few comments or completely hidden profiles.

It was one of the most blatant bot/troll farm attacks I've ever seen and kinda shocked me.

All of there comments seemed very humanly written, but the account ages being all similar was too big a tell for me to think it was organic.

Basically, I think we're cooked if people keep using centralized websites and or if we dont have a way to figure out what is genuine from what isn't.

The average person goes with the flow and doesn't think too hard about things. If through trolls or bots a country, nation state or group of billionaires can change what appears to be public opinion, we're fucked.

If this tip of the iceberg is already so damming I can't even imagine how horrible this ring must have been.
