Oh, I know that Facebook also flag their users with their political alignment and let advertisers target that. I would not be surprised if Google does that too.

I always had to walk through a minefield of right wing crap on YouTube, but I recently started watching some videos on gender transition and YouTube almost immediately started showing me anti trans crap and videos about "detransitioners" and whatnot. My god, it's so fucking infuriating.

Also, I don't know if that's possible for video recommendations, but for ads, you can click on de three dots and see why they were recommended to me, and it's always shit like "your age and AGAB and what other people where you live are interested at"... I know Google is paid to just show ads based on those kinds of flags to the people that have them in their account, but my brother in christ, I couldn't give less of a crap to what other people of my age and AGAB are interested in where I live.

No but seriously, when will you Americans stop just saying "don't vote blue" and start to mobilize to get a third party in play? It's ought to happen at some point, right? Letting the facists win isn't exactly the right answer either...

And that's why you can't reason people out of positions they didn't reason themselves into.

If god is real then why isn't the heart shaped like a heart?

Or that time a trans man fighter was forced to fight women because of transphobic State laws and he seriously injured one of them, then the transphobes started sharing the story saying he was a trans woman.

Fucking despicable fucks, all of them.

I love your username (unironic)

Mfw I already know MGS Delta is gonna suck because Konami will make it political smh.

Alex Jones was right, Bill Gates is transing our kids by making bad Windows upgrades to push them towards Arch Linux

Thank you, Satan.

it's a dipshit liberal movie that almost explicitly advocates for eugenics and the genocide of poor people for being stupid

I won't deny that this part of the movie, even though it's done for comedy, is yikes.

throughout my life, the people who seriously think something like "y'know, the real problem with this country/world is that everybody/everything is just so stupid! people are dumb, panicky animals. they don't know what's good for them and they keep doing stupid shit for whatever reason!" are, ironically, the most idiotic people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting or talking to.

Ok, for this part, I will say that right wingers do want people to stay dumb, so they can keep office. That's why they always attack the educational system. That's why education is worse in red states in America. They keep electing those right wing conservative dipshits, and on a global scale, that kind of people manage to get people like Trump, Bolsonaro and now Milei elected, which is mainly what I was referring to when I called the movie a "documentary".

But it is an incredibly idiotic take on itself to say "the problem is people are dumb". The problem is the people on office gatekeeping education for their benefit. It obviously has nothing to do with genes too, I should mention.

fossil fuel companies are polluting the atmosphere and destroying biodiversity because they're "dumb", they're acting according to their material interests.

I mean, that's a different problem, but you're not wrong there.

people don't vote for reactionaries because they're incapable of understanding basic economics, they do it because of co-ordinated media campaigns that exploit mental vulnerabilities that literally every single one of us on this website also possess (none of us are immune to propaganda), are tired of the status quo neoliberal economics but cannot find any other way of expressing their displeasure than in a reactionary way, and/or materially benefit from the imperialism and exploitation that those reactionaries reinforce.

Right... So what we need is better education.

leaders like Bush don't invade foreign countries because they can't understand that they're doing something "dumb" and hurtful, they're doing it to benefit their military industries, exploit the invaded countries' people and resources, loot and pillage them, and spread chaos to prevent unified oppositions from being able to take on US interests

This part of the reply is about the elite, the ones that want to keep people dumb for their benefit.

My whole take can be summed up to: it was an enormous L for the movie to present intelligence as a genetics thing, but there is a big problem in the world, which is the elite actively doing their best to dismantle education of the masses, so they can be more easily exploited. Been that way since the dark ages with the church.

All of these AI tools are based on models trained on illegaly obtained samples from non-consenting artists.

I have an issue with that argument. Human artists train on "illegally obtained samples from non-consenting artists" all the time. Did your favorite artist ask Toriyama for consent before copying his style? When an artist inspire their style on old Disney movies, are they doing something wrong? Machine learning is not different from human learning, it's just faster.
