In fairness, Obama also used Cambridge Analytica. This is not a Right or Left thing. It is a politicians vs the people thing.

So, Israel is trying to control the Narrative? You don’t say.

I am shocked. Shocked, I tell ya.

Message: “Genocide? What Genocide. You are a genocide.”

You make it sound as if human greed as part of the human condtion will suddenly and magically disappeared under any other form of trade or political system. That is not what literal history has us shown to be the case, over, and over again.

What fucked it up was he selling to the wrong company. But we do not know why he did it. For all we know, he was tired to taking lead in the project and wanted to cash out. He was entitled to do that, or what is the option, force him to work on it just for your needs or to sell to only the company that you or I approved of? What gives us the right to force their hand?

It sucks but that is what he wanted. We both agree that it us unfortunate though. It is too bad.

Right now? It is a grift.

Price needs to come down a lot be worthwhile. Hope it does and that the tech is recyclable once it us used up. No need to continue to fill in garbage dumps.

Yeah, that was extremely removed and a disgusting way to wash away the killing and ethnic cleansing of a people. Fucking Klown world for even trying.

Wish more people pointed it out.

Yeah… Can’t argue with that. Seems like a likely trend.

Still, it does not make it a smart move from the Biden admin. Since for all we know, Biden may not have been even fully aware this was happening. I heard Biden on tape on the investigation Re: he keeping documents and at points he sounds like a senile grandpa – recommend people seek it out on YT, it is extremely enlightenmenting given the timeframe.

Legal or not is not the point, is whether it was a smart move. It was not. Do not weaponize the legal tender or the mechanisms of its trade. All he did was antagonize everyone by proxy. It was simply not a smart thing and very shortsighted.

It made BRICS or alternative choices look better than they should be. I am sure most people who care about geopolitics can see that.

Exactly. If the USA wanted for go after Russia, they could have used other tools, ones that not other countries have agreed to use as freely. It was such an incredibly shortsighted move. Or, something that could be perceived as a desperate move. Since is not as if the USA is or was short on other options.

Any country with common sense would look at that action and be weary. If I was a world leader, I would be. I would certainly look at what my other choices in trade are or could be, if just in case. A direct or proxy war is not even needed, perhaps just a geopolitical or bad trade dispute could fuck your economy if the Bald Eagle decides to cut you off. It is just too high a risk to ignore.

No, I didn’t say that they were, but more like agreeing with the point that if Boeing was in deep financial problems that the FED could do the same because of the strategic concern to National Security if it were to be available to be sold or merge with others in the open market. No way the FED would allow it and would bail them out and a way to do that would be to purchase a physical stake in the company as a way to infuse operating funds into it.

I was agreeing with OP.

Objectively so should Biden then. His weaponization of the Swift system 100% accelerated the desire for most of the world to say, “Fuck the USA and its dollar.” Then, “No thanks. Let’s see what else is out there.”

Or did people already forgot that happened? And this is not me taking a side, that did happen. I think the USA is partly foundering and I do not blame you. The USA is increasing your debt by like a trillion every 100 days or so. I was talking to some friends in Finance a while ago about how the USA’s debt was flying past $33 trillion, and that was last year, I thing you guys passed $37 trillion recently and are still using the commodity of the dollar as a weapon. Most of the world sees this and thinks, they can do that to anyone they do not like, that could be us in the future.

Yes, I know this. I assume that was a given. The point is that it is marketed and sold to people as an one stop shop of convenience to searching. And that tons of people believe that. Which is very dangerous. You misunderstood.

My point is not to point out whether it knows it is right or wrong. Within that context it is just an extremely complex calculator. It does not know what it saying itself.

My point was, that aside the often cooked-in bias, of how often, or the propensity of often they are wrong as a search engine. And that many people do not tend to know that.

Systemd made me bald, and killed my cat.

Nice.

Would it be the same as if they did the same with Boeing? If they were circling the drain? Since Boeing literally makes military planes for the US goververment, so that means that they can’t fail lest say they got bought by some Chinese or XYZ interest outside of the USA. So then those new owners would have access to highly classified designs and schematics that the military uses.

By Trump admin, do we mean the US Federal Government?

Yeah, I have some background in History and ChatGTP will be objectively wrong with some things. Then I will tell it is wrong because X, Y and Z, and then the stupid thing will come back with, “Yes, you are right, X, Y, Z were a thing because…”.

If I didn’t know that it was wrong, or if say, a student took what it said at face value, then they too would now be wrong. Literal misinformation.

Not to mention the other times it is wrong, and not just chatGTP because it will source things like Reddit. Recently Brave AI made the claim that Ironfox the Firefox fork was based on FF ESR. That is impossible since Ironfox is a fork for Android. So why was it wrong? It quoted some random guy who said that on Reddit.

It depends how gay is it? And do dinosaurs mate in packs?

The internet is open. It is not up to a site to block a country just because. Which is what happened here, and this why their law is dumb and over reaching.

The argument is more like:

“UK citizens, via the open internet could see your site, and we have now decided that we do not like it. We are not going to complain via diplomacy or via your country’s existing Laws or policing agencies, as such, you must pay us £20,000 in fines, per day, for existing because we say so. Despite you having no interests, employees or infrastructure, at all, in our country.”

The EU wants to go after encryption. By introducing means to be able to see messages in services before they are encrypted and sent. Law is currently being discussed.

Basically:

“Trust us bro, we will have the means to read your stuff but we promise to never read them or abuse it. Trust us.”

Look at bigger picture. Ignore that it is 4Chan and imagine it is a site that you actually like or care about. That is the point.

The reason they go after 4Chan is because they want to normalise this general type of censorship and hope people are gullible or biased enough that they will or would let obvious authoritarian censorship slide because they know some people dislike the site. It is manipulation and how you push the Overton Window towards general censorship.

The point is that the UK should never do that and the law is bad. Whenever you see shit like this, switch the “thing” in question to something you like and be honest to yourself and think if you would be okay with that.

If they can do it easily to things you dislike, then they can as easily do it to things you like.

The fact that is Labour, or the equivalent of the USA Democrats trying to hinder public speech in other countries via this insane laws is something worth noting. Any side can do this.
