That's not how end-to-end encryption works...

Kindly fuck off. Your bigotry is not welcome here.

I'm not defending social media or its algorithms, but you've also got to look at what predated it. People used to get their news and information from news anchors and newspapers that were mouthpieces for capitalists and conservatives. So maybe not as extremist or even as effective at influence as a social media algorithm, but still not great. Personally, I don't want to go back to relying on corporate news outlets either.

I get that. I feel that. And I hope for your sake you find your fire before you need it.

Trumpcoin isn't for you or me, so he doesn't need to pump it. It's for untraceable bribery and corruption. Say a foreign national wants something from Trump (an executive order, a crackdown on a competitor, the lifting of a crackdown, whatever). They need only make a large, anonymous Trumpcoin purchase and then discretely let Trump know about it.

I don't disagree at all with that, and honestly I share your frustration. But now the wheels of change are finally beginning to move.. and it's up to you whether you're going to help push.

If everyone at the protests went to Washington and ripped this fascist out of the White House we would be done with this mess.

I keep seeing this take from Lemmy keyboard warriors, and honestly it's kind of frustrating. It's like saying: If all the soccer moms and college students and retirees and other everyday people who spent their entire lives blissfully living in an ostensible democracy just skipped all the boring organizing and community building and radicalization and Overton window shifting.. and just went straight to the violent revolution part, this would be all fixed right away.

Well, DUH. But that's not how any of this works in the real world. Movements take time to build, and you're doing a disservice to that movement building by trying to minimize these initial protest efforts.

Tariffs also have a way of sticking around long after the reason for their introduction is forgotten.

The election was won and lost in swing states. Voter turnout in swing states was roughly the same in 2024 and 2020.

If a fact isn't disputed by either side in a case as contentious as this one, it's much more likely to be true than not. You can certainly wait for the gears of "justice" to turn if you like, but I think it's pretty clear to everyone else that LLMs are plagiarism engines.

Lol did you even read the article you linked? OpenAI isn't disputing the fact that their LLM spit out near-verbatim NY Times articles/passages. They're only taking issue with how many times the LLM had to be prompted to get it to divulge that copyrighted material and whether there were any TOS violations in the process.

"In its suit, the Times alleges that, when prompted by users, ChatGPT sometimes spits out portions of its articles verbatim, or shares key parts of its content, such as findings uncovered through investigations by Times reporters, or product endorsements carefully researched and vetted by Wirecutter, an affiliate site."
