the claims in some media that Telegram is some sort of anarchic paradise are absolutely untrue. We take down millions of harmful posts and channels every day,

Gotcha. Millions of harmful posts every day. That really does sound like a great place.

Given how accessible music is, how accessible musicians are on social media, the fact that you probably have to travel to the venue, shit like COVID, eardrum shattering PA systems that make ear plugs a requirement, what is the appeal today even? And then it costs a thousand bucks?

I understand fun, but I feel like you could get a better deal if you're just looking for a good time.

WTF. That's vacation money. Thanks for providing some reference.

Should I really give up my empty metric of 70K followers and move my communication and journalistic research to another echo chamber and advertising platform run by another billionaire?

It really is a tough one.

Oh boy, what a marvelous idea. This could save the tanking DJT stock and allow them to prolong the scam. It would allow Trump to close the Truth Social scam with a seemingly sensible move. Elon is supposed to be in his cabinet anyway. It's perfect.

Following along with the style of your own post: YAML doesn't suck, because I feel so.

Thanks for asking.

Probleme sind heute global. Lieber Nazis totschlagen als woanders der Ausländer zu sein.

Sich gegen Feinde der Verfassung zu wehren ist für mich als deutscher Staatsbürger durch selbige Verfassung geschützt. Probleme muss man angehen und nicht davon laufen.

Right. Who needs expert opinions if an LLM can produce similarly convincing garbage?

I feel like you're catching on.

I'm calling bullshit on any user count they release. The site was filled with bots even when I still used it. People kept complaining about "karma farmers" as if there were users who repost popular content. It has always been largely Reddit's own bots too keep new users entertained and recycle popular content so that it reaches as many users as possible. They turned this up to 11 before going public.

Now that they no longer provide an API, they are free to make up any fake metric they want to try to pump up their worthless stock.

So if I watch all Star Wars movies, and then get a crew together to make a couple of identical movies that were inspired by my earlier watching, and then sell the movies, then this is actually completely legal.

It doesn't matter if they stole the source material. They are selling a machine that can create copyright infringements at a click of a button, and that's a problem.

This is not the same as an artist looking at every single piece of art in the world and being able to replicate it to hang it in the living room. This is an army of artists that are enslaved by a single company to sell any copy of any artwork they want. That army works as long as you feed it electricity and free labor of actual artists.

Theft actually seems like a great word for what these scammers are doing.

If you run some open source model on your own machine, that's a different story.
