Man Im not experienced in paying for blow jobs but my gut feeling is that you could get a pretty great one a lot cheaper than that. I dunno, maybe the multi million dollar bureaucracy blow job is really really great.

The Palantirs werent technically evil, they were just stones that let you see the truth, it’s just the strong holders could manipulate what was seen through them by the weak holders to bend the truth seen.

In that respect the company is pretty aptly named, the owners (strong in the rights of the admin) can warp the insights to fit their narrative and feed those to the clients (weak in the rights of the admin). The problem being that the clients are also feeding huge amounts of data (truth) to owners to allow them to do their work. That data is ours.

Arguably, the naming of the company should at least give any government pause for thought about the reliability of the information provided to them and the true cost of feeding information to them. It’s not like the company isn’t broadcasting the issues with their system by using that specific name … surely there’s no in depth discussion of how a system like this could possibly end badly for someone who doesn’t have completed control over it?!

I once watched bake off on ITV and I swear it was 10 minutes of ads to 3 minutes of show, 50min episode took like 2.5 hrs to watch, it was nuts.

If the peer review are unable to differentiate between student output and AI output then they are either incompetent or they are inundated with absolute garbage. The latter also suggests the former is true.

Yeah given the quality of AI outputs they could just read the papers to spot it … you know … do their jobs? I mean there’s a few layers here for thesis review, the supervisor, the professor, the other peer reviewers. They are all supposed to review the paper and at least some of the data that led to its production.

Well that’s a much better question.

Jesus how bad are their student papers that they can’t tell whether an AI wrote one?!

Arguably we should be imposing 25% DST on digital products to counter the 25% tariff on aluminium and steel and then 10% on everything else. The US started it by imposing blanket tariffs in spite of our free trade agreement.

So wouldn’t it be better to have an independent regulator and a robust set of ethics and rules the media needs to adhere to?

What’s to stop a horizontally governed media collective from being compromised and corrupted?

If only the media was well regulated to protect against bad actors turning it into a propaganda machine like this

Probably more sexism in this case …

Someone needs to spin up an AI that continuously generates pictures that annoy Donald Trump and posts them to all social media, it should actively learn what makes him and his supporters feel the saddest and optimise for those attributes.

I think they like the free money, the old money boys club and the chances to tell the poora whats best for them …

Australias Labor party is sits slightly progressive and slightly left of centre, the greens sits hard left/progressive, given we have more than 8 parties, 4 of which could be considered major parties with 2 of those in the left and none of the issues associated with FPTP and that electoral college nonsense I think Australia is doing alright in the scheme of things, especially compared with the US and UK.

Kind of, its a little more complicated than that, I think its probably more accurate to say they have their own issues. The UK system is pretty different from the shitshow in the US.

They also use FPTP but have no electoral college and multiple parties including 4 major parties. So while there are multiple parties, in any given electorate you really need to vote for the party you hate the least that has a chance of winning. The two parties in an electorate that have a chance of winning varies across electorates and regions. They also have the House of Lords instead of a senate with members of House mostly being appointed (for life) rather than elected.

So … its own nonsense. Still seems less shithouse than the US system.

Is anyone calling UK Labour centre-left? I would have thought theyd be sitting just inside the lower right quadrant of the political compass, they might have been centre left when Corbyn was the leader but that was a while ago and Starmer isn’t that kinda guy.

Don’t try and downplay the affect of connecting with noons on the human psyche. They are an evil scourge and should be eradicated. This is exactly the kind of thing a noon would post.

Are they assuming the people buying ads on their platforms will still pay money to advertise exclusively to Meta’s ai bots?

It is in Australia
