Thing is, they know they're doing this. They know they're buying an out from big tech by giving away dangerous amounts of power and wealth to save their own egos.
It must not be allowed to continue, nor should it ever be forgiven. (/end)
Every big company has been over-hiring and investing in insane nonsense since 2012 (extended by Trump's money-laundering in 2020.) Executives needed to purge their numbers, but can't admit they suck at their jobs. The answer? Buy some magic computer thing no one understands and blame that. (3>)
Example: When you screw up at work, you boss can say you made a mistake or they can ask, "what happened?"
This lets you weasel out and the boss doesn't have to admit they don't understand your job. If you lie, it's not their fault. If they fail to ask, it's not yours. Now it's no one's fault. (2>)
Indirect Language is a common phenomena where you imply something while saying something else. Asking without offering to off-load social responsibility. In the Recorded World it is everything currently going wrong and why you feel like you're going crazy. Check this out: youtu.be/3-son3EJTrU
The correct terms for this whole process are political purges and illegal rescission.
But Trump officials (including Elon Musk) say βefficiencyβ and βprivate sectorβ and βwaste, fraud, abuse,β and a lot of peopleβincluding much of the pressβbuy it. At least enough to miss the unsubtle big picture.
ICYMI: Last week @aoc.bsky.social ripped age verification mandates to shreds at the kids online safety bills markup- accurately summed up what we and other human rights, LGBTQ+ and youth advocacy orgs have been saying for years!
My god, was it so long ago.
I would argue it isn't save-scumming, it's knowing when a strategic retreat is necessary. Especially because that was so friggin' hard! #SteelHeart #Silksong

Here's the video I got this from, it has more detail. The channel is a lot, but critical viewing: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4s0t...
Threads thread: thriller_instinct 3d Is it okay to bully 40 and 50 year olds who are on social media just for being on it, cuz like why are you here - 254 Q 3.1K G 28 746 corporateash 18h β’β’β’ My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you. 852 Q62 G6 72
βI have usernames older than you.β.
Holy shit
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, βI do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.β My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Age verification is a scam literally engineered by p*d*****s.
We know because, in the same week as a blitzkrieg against freedom & privacy fraudulently labelled child protection, the FTC moved to repeal the one policy which bans collecting private info on children.

I've gotta say? I'm pretty haunted by that poor fella.
You are 100% not wrong about this.
When someone says βScientists do not want you to knowβ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They canβt shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
Don't let them kill free speech, call your reps ahead of Thursday when bills including KOSA will be discussed again
While not available in the United Kingdom, it seems Lupin the IIIRD: Zenigata and the Two Lupin's is now available with both English and Japanese language audio in the United States?!

It's going to be a whole thing once it turns out very few of said Americans are white...
And BOOM goes the dynamite. To all the AI Bros who have slid into my mentions to tell me that you CAN in fact copyright AI materials, the Supreme Court has told you to go suck rocks. A prompt is not authorship. And if there is no author, there is no valid copyright.

Bills like KOSA and more only become more dangerous
Demand your representatives
-oppose KOSA
-oppose the App Store Accountability Act
-oppose The SCREEN Act
-section 230 reform/sunsetting
-oppose/repeal online age verification and ID laws
www.congress.gov/members/find...
π¨ It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians theyβve paid off.
