The backlash exploded on Chinese social media, garnering 140 million Weibo views.

Isn’t this nothing for China?

Дефолта не будет, твердо и четко.

Same, except they don’t just disagree, they are extremely pissed. For whatever reason idiots tend to assume superior status to me in particular.

Before computing got poisoned.

If could go off the Internet, I’d probably do that, but the hope of finding something good, sometimes delivered upon, and the few good people bring me back to the good and the bad parts.

I don’t think you know what depression is. Little correlation with outside circumstances is one of the traits.

We ever evolved? It’s just one case where you see it.

Ah, yes, these stress treatments are more general

Death is loss of information, so executions are unacceptable. Except when you can’t convict and jail.

Ketamine in small doses is sometimes proscribed to autistic people against stress. Not to expand something. Probably Elon overdid it.

In short, something good but expensive.

Frankly IRL these things are done properly by employers which would behave even without legal pressure, and when not - it won’t become much worse.

But these people, I think, just want to cut costs from the wrong corner.

Prolly can’t figure out where and how the shit is stored.

I’ve seen a setup once, involving airflow, pgsql with a few different databases for different systems, a few CSV and Excel files stored on webdav shares, a few ETL scripts, some not working, in a weird graph, and a Microstrategy instance used to view a report or two resulting from that.

That was probably a job safety mechanism of the leaving data analyst, though. I’m not sure how such chaos could have been created on purpose and other things he did seemed very clean.

What you said is a subset of what I said, so I didn’t say you were wrong, just that it’s not everything. Point being, I said I think it’s worse. Didn’t sleep well, so my grammar is atrocious.

I don’t think it’s about that, even Musk isn’t this dumb. It’s about AI-generated individual profiles for propaganda and surveillance. One can play a person having studied them well enough. And turns out that of this LLMs are capable.

Right, propaganda had to be aimed at the average citizen, or at least the average citizen of a few major groups or layers. A huge headache. With enough data one can have personalized propaganda.

It’s only the Web and customer UI\UX which are now “one size fits all” and becoming worse, with things really important for these companies they are doing their job properly.

I mean, that’s where it was always going, since “big data” was a new buzzword, and neural nets were something only geeks cared about, with no commercial hype visible. When Bitcoin seemed a new anarchist (right anarchism is still that) thing, and The Silk Road was operational.

Why - because it was about advertising and insights for companies about customers, and also about creating a non-neutral medium from a social network, or in our current existence from the Web itself. A non-neutral medium is where your messages get effectively lost or amplified or distorted, depending on some policy.

You as a customer or a user don’t need that to make your choice with whom to talk or what to buy. These destinations are all real, and thus a social media company doesn’t need any information to “create” them. If they are distorting them, then they are distorting your own choices. They are stealing from you, in fact. This is violence and was always going towards the sad state of affairs we have now.

And I think it’s worse than what people say about “fascism” or “cronyism” or whatever.

Theoretically (not wasteful spending, but corruption) - by noticing unexplainable incomes of government employees and relatives of those and politicians and their relatives. In practice - I don’t think they can be caught this easily.

Also it is a huge dataset from which one can have some insights on how to, well, optimize taxes and tax returns for whatever goal one wishes.

In practice others have already answered that.

This is what they say about riot police in oppressive regimes, about prison personnel, about people from special agencies doing surveillance and even arrests.

I think you can see where I’m going. Removing identification is more harmful than the threat to “the military member and their family”.

Pelosi is going to try something in 2026? Sorry for being rude, but very few old people preserve sanity at that age, let alone intelligence.

BTW, I just got a thought. With RFK’s past (not talking about the brain parasite and his paranoid delusions in the last 10-15 years) and, ahem, manner of speech, is it possible he just has well-masked Aspergers himself?

That would explain the part about “vaccines causing autism”, because, say, my dad was terribly afraid of psychiatrists and had a weird idea that one can “get” autism, and, as you might guess, he was kinda clearly undiagnosed autistic. Or maybe diagnosed and hiding it.

So - RFK is of the older generation where the stigma was stronger. Maybe part of his conspiracy theories is from denial of his own condition. He definitely does seem like a person with strange facial dynamic.

There’s one good thing in this all - Americans will learn bravery.

That quality tends to naturally diminish, especially when your country is the hegemon of the world.
