Most of this is just trying to justify the bubble by trying to make people think that "AI" is useful.

Isn't there some kind of sketchy corporate structure they could use to skirt this is they actually cared about data sovereignty?

"Sorry Feds, this data is actually held by Microsoft EU and not Microsoft".

Or do they only do that sketchy shit for dodging taxes and protecting people's data is a bridge too far?

Most of his impunity comes from control of Congress. Clear proof of him being a pedophile maybe doesn't make a difference to some MAGAs on social media, but it does make a difference to some of his supporters who actually believe themselves to be righteous Christians. The megachurch pastors already understand that Trump is a crook and pedophile, but they can currently deflect by saying there is no proof. If there IS proof, they may have to change their tune to retain credibility with their flock. Then you'll suddenly have some contested congressional seats during the midterms.

I'm not sure it even matters because anyone who isn't his supporter already knows and anyone who IS probably believes in alternative facts instead.

In a normal timeline any negatives for platforming a sex trafficker would out weight any expenses on this lawsuit, but it wouldn't surprise me if they cave to pressure from Trump and settle for 10 million.

Had to look twice to check whether this was a screenshot of a Grand Theft Auto game.

Only a matter of time before it's renamed to HBO Max

I'm honestly confused about what you're asserting here. For my daughter, they did a blood test on my wife in order to tell us that we're having a daughter instead of a son. Doesn't that mean that there IS in fact a genetic test that "reveals biological sex"?

What the alternative?

It's bullshit for companies to lay people off and retain H1Bs. The government shouldn't approve any new H1Bs for development positions until companies stop the layoffs and the amount of developers searching for work goes down significantly.

I really wonder what would happen if the UN and Europe just sent troops in to keep the peace and establish a Palestinian state. Would the US and Israel actually go to war with the rest of the world in order to continue the genocide or would they admit defeat?

Are they anti-capitalist or anti-government? Maybe some are both, but it seems like many of these types are probably capitalist and don't want the government to get in the way of corporations screwing people.

 

I just moved to a small town. A regional city has rolled out municipal fiber and the towns around it have the opportunity to hook into that city's municipal fiber network if we rollout the infrastructure.

Comcast is spending money through fake grassroots groups to try to get people to vote NO.

I'm trying to convince my fellow citizens to vote YES. The town would take out a loan to rollout the infrastructure, monthly fees would go to pay off that loan and presumably pay the city for the fiber connection as well.

Honestly, the details don't interest me as much as just having a better service and having an option other than Comcast. I figured that "locally owned and operated" would be a slam dunk with xenophobic Republicans, but they seem to be convinced by Comcast's lobbying on the issue and are going to vote NO because taxes might go up (if people don't switch to the service). Has anyone had success with convincing people of the value of municipal fiber?

 

A Norwegian man said he was horrified to discover that ChatGPT outputs had falsely accused him of murdering his own children.

According to a complaint filed Thursday by European Union digital rights advocates Noyb, Arve Hjalmar Holmen decided to see what information ChatGPT might provide if a user searched his name. He was shocked when ChatGPT responded with outputs falsely claiming that he was sentenced to 21 years in prison as "a convicted criminal who murdered two of his children and attempted to murder his third son," a Noyb press release said.
