CW IRL self-harm, not sharing a link or images in the “spoiler,” just a very general description. Feel free to delete if a mod, or just reply with “please remove” and I will delete it myself.

Not a “favorite” (due to being self-harm) but really fucked-up one that involved fans recreating a very morbid “scene” that mimics something a player could come across in Fallout New Vegas (or any of the games). Seems like a creepypasta, but 100% true. Again, CW for self-harm.

Just need to get enough CEOs and other C-suite folks to actually do it. While poisoning the shit out of the AI being used to tank the shit out of all of them. Would also be hilarious if the AI were to put up lots of money to hire hits on the physical versions of themselves). Could maybe see the AI put out internal orders for unions to be not only supported, but required, along with purging all employee records of write-ups (or whatever disciplinary records that would otherwise be used to target organizers of the unions). Just get as many points of chaos going openly and secretly.

That is something that continues to be one of the most glaring issues of so many nations. Especially given how much the USA hypes-up how Chinese hardware and software can’t be “trusted” for even the chance of it happening. The USA has been proven time and time again to spy and do shit within services and hardware its “allies” use.

I am not looking forward to the spin from the WH and right-wing media afterwards. Will be hyper all about claims of it being a “massive success” and something about it actually being about “showing China what can happen at the drop of a hat.” Hopefully China will be able to keep making it harder and harder to make such claims.

Good to see. The US is trying to both be THE superpower that controls the world, while also being isolationist. At this rate we might be able to see places like DPRK and Cuba be able to trade with more nations that have only really avoided doing so because of fear of losing access to US trade. It would be awesome to see what the so called “hermit nations” could do with the opportunity.

Well then, it seems that it would be good motivation if more people are able to find ways to force the bots to give deep discounts on things. Would need to be clever in tricking the AI so that it isn’t outright obvious in the prompts to aid in avoiding the companies just accusing the buyers of hacking.

Just another example as to why companies tripping over themselves to force AI into everything without doing the real work of actually stopping this shit. It seems like it would need very direct rules in the code to just defer to a human tech in the event of not “knowing” the answer. Just like how human level 1 customer help will just say that it seems to need a higher level person to get correct help for the situation. All these bots are trained to focus on sounding correct above everything else is eventually cause much worse problems as greed and hype rule.

Seed the means of pro-gaming.

much less that Plaintiffs’ books were somehow distributed by Meta.

While I guess that Meta may have used settings to be leech only. Unless they show that they did that (which is of course poor practice if torrenting), the nature of torrenting by default means that even one piece of a file was seeded to another user is “distribution.”

It is almost like the whole point of “No Child Left Behind” was to make sure this would happen. Intentionally defund schools and make them just “pass” kids no matter what in order to hit numbers for any money. Then point to how fucking awful the rates of literacy and other skills are. Though funding was already pretty bad and got worse throughout the 90’s and early 00’s before NCLB was made policy.

I think that the pro-privatization of all gov ran departments have been making sure to defund and overwork the staff of those departments/services in order to have shit like this and the drops in literacy. That way they can get mass support for removing all services/departments to cheers. Just like how they have constantly been trying to ditch the USPS because it “isn’t profitable” (even though it shouldn’t be treated as a for-profit “business”). Or like how they make sure stuff like 9/11 or other “terrorist attacks” scare the masses to strip rights and over-fund the MIC.

PotD can be effective, but only if enough conditions get bad enough for the majority of people are hurting bad enough. The pressure has to be built-up to the point that the normally “I’m not a political person” types have personally been fucked over badly enough. Otherwise they are able to be kept in line by corpo propaganda about how “evil” the person(s) are for being violent. Law and order and all that.

If by chance that second vid had anything majorly impactful. I would hope that he had other accounts on as many other outlets set to get it out. YT is the largest outlet, but also proven time and time again to be easily banned/suspended for waaaay less. Though part of me kind of thinks that shit would be a Rick Roll given the trolling done with the backpack of Monopoly money. lol

I have also been thinking it has something to do with a new Switch. Maybe to try and scare people off from trying to get similar things going on the new console. Though we all know that lots of hackers will be trying to get hands on launch consoles since they tend to be the easiest to get working. I mean, at least it will make lots of money from development of the new console get made back faster for Nintendo.

I wonder if the ROK has been getting high off their own (and of course the US) propaganda about how backwards DPRK and its people are. They just believe that folks in DPRK are too stupid to even know how to pull data. Which in a way kind of gives DPRK a small edge in being able to use such stereotyping to catch their enemies slipping. Like the quote about if you are weak appear strong and if you are strong to appear weak. The US showed many times how such a headspace of just assuming that fighters in so many “third-world” nations/areas are dumb and can’t possibly be tactical. Shit always backfires.

That looks like if Lara Croft was in Hellsing or Black Lagoon. Pretty dope style.

I unironically didn’t even realize this was supposed to be a “China bad” piece until the end (I read the post’s text and didn’t go to the site). lol They might get some passes from the gov if they preemptively were to cut their greed levels of pay and split it into raises to the workers. I love to see people who seem to go out of their way to flaunt how rich they are get yeeted.

It is wild how both wings of the capitalist party keep managing to one-up each other in presenting/supporting folks that are copies of dystopian movie villains. Like just over the top caricatures of of evil mega-corp baddies in Robocop or something. Trump folks back a “big-shot fuck over everyone to get to the top” character that is freaking tropes for days in the context of movies. Yet they believe beyond all belief that he is actually a hero “fighting for the every man” against corruption. The libs blindly believe that their entitled fake “from these streets” VP is actually even concerned about helping real people and not just as much a trope as Trump. Then we have the most needing to have his face mutilated Matthew Miller mouth peace of the empire promoting genocide.

Movie villains like these fucks are made so over the top to be clear that they are evil. To the point that viewers of said movies laugh at how stupid the populations in them are for supporting them in the first place. Just like how people today can’t believe how average Germans or Italians would be so dumb to allow fascists to take over. Even if I weren’t a leftist, I would still be weirded out by how fucking sad this shit is (and still think how much I want someone to just fuck up Miller’s whole face).

You are not wrong and I agree 100%. It doesn’t seem to change things with regards to the fascists anyway.

“Do you support Hamas?”

“I do not support Hamas.”

“WHY CAN’T YOU SAY THAT YOU DON’T SUPPORT HAMAS?!?!?!”

I hope that he is given the same treatment that the IOF has given so many Palestinians when the revolution comes.
