Elites will always be troublesome, but of no importance when they cannot corrupt anyone to do their bidding.

Given enough time and enough resources, anyone is corruptible. The most corrupt are usually those who believe they can’t be corrupted. You just have to get them to honestly believe something that isn’t true. Once you figure out what cognitive fallacies they’re vulnerable to, you’ll have just turned a bulwark against you into your most loyal zealot. That’s why the wealthy usually win. With enough money, one person can command more time, and resources than 50% of the country combined.

Of course the rulers enable this behaviour. Who do you think made them the “rulers” to begin with? You think our broke asses pay to get these people elected?

Remember kids, the term “Business Ethics” is an oxymoron. Corporations don’t have ethics, they have financial interests and PR.

Hard pass. There absolutely should be no AI in any classroom under any circumstances. The whole point of a classroom is to build a foundation on which to understand the fundamentals before they slap a set of training wheels on and vibe-code their way into disaster. Most of these LLMs ignore whatever guardrails you slap on them far too frequently.

The most important lesson these kids need to learn is if you can’t do it yourself, you shouldn’t be letting an LLM do it for you. If the best you can say about the effects is “This version doesn’t seem to be actively harming them” then the bar is in hell, and we shouldn’t be playing with these tools at all at this point.

It’s just the natural progression of a disease that spreads outwards from Management. The bosses want yes-men, not people capable of independent thought.

A little bit of a tempest in a teapot. It doesn’t sound like they’re actually going to stop distributing existing drivers, they’re just not accepting any new drivers or updates (unless they’re critical security updates) for those packages.

Unfortunately, we’re not all the ones that decide if we’re on board or not. Our employers are. We live in a world where profits are privatized and losses are socialized, so when this goes, it’s going to hurt the general public a lot more than it will every hurt the Epstein Class.

The problem is the cost of that correction is going to fall on us. Or did we forget that the flavor of capitalism we live under is the “Privatize the profits, socialize the losses” kind. We’re not the ones in the casino, but we’re the ones who will lose our shirts when they lose.

“You know who doesn’t buy my drugs? Maidenless losers.” Said every drug dealer in history. It’s not even good marketing hype, it’s just sad at this point.

Their capture by US feds and banning people who speak out against US foreign influence operations would lead me to believe otherwise.

medical terms are now no longer medical terms and just purely an insult

Language drifts over time, that’s normal, always has been. Stay on target soldier. FORMAL language however needs very strict definitions or it just stops working. Words mean things is true. That still doesn’t mean you get to say the “R” word.

What I’m hearing is laws are threats made by the dominant socioeconomic-ethnic group in a given nation?

There’s nothing intrinsically bad or “archaic” about forums. It’s the forum platforms that sucked for some people. It took some thought and work to manage a forum. The only advantage a Discord server had was that it’s simple enough, a brain damaged squirrel could run one. It saved you from having to do your homework and just created a simple plug-and-play space that required no skill on the owner/mods part.

Banned for “hate speech” for telling an American propagandist to get his American propaganda out of my country. Apparently Reddit is helping with the effort to destabilize and invade Canada.

Not sure if Stoat does audio rooms, but I know you can use SonoBus for that
