@AnAfterLemonade @alex_prompter @ioangrillo I tried Google for both titles. No dice. I've tried periodically for years, because it triggered me not to know.

Okay, but Googled USED to be able to do that, before they literally admitted that there is no reason to have a functioning seaech system, because people googling things 2 or 3 times, is more profitable than googling it once. They have purposely dumbed down the rest of the entirety of the internet, stripped search engines, and are using this new "evidence" as to why we should have AI.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@AaronRegunberg What is a "corporate Democrat"? Tom Steyer seems like one. Bernie Sanders promoted John Fetter and Tulsi Gabbard. Is that "populism"?

Leftists have spent our entire lives holding our noses to support shitty corporate Democrats over Republicans as the lesser evil. The Auchincloss wing of the party sees one populist win and they're already declaring they hope Republicans keep control of Congress. Vichy traitors.

@OrganizerMemes They targeted Democrats before Hasan Piker and he said nothing. In fact, he cheered.

Hasan has talked shit about me plenty. He shouldn't be subjected to political persecution. And anyone rejoicing at the idea has clearly not internalized the "first they came for the ___" poem

@rochowanski Yes. It must be "NAFO" that has brought acrimony to Ukraine. Not Russian war, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Oddly, being a Russophone has not spared any Ukrainian citizen from Russian attack.

4 years of NAFO language class has taught them to yell fucking bitch and Slava Ukraini in the worst, most cartoonish accent possible at an old man who has visibly had a hard life and whose country is now being obliterated by war. An allegory of Western policy towards Ukraine. 2/2

The grotesque, nightmarish end point of Western elites instrumentalizing post-Soviet "social racism" and just plain racism for their geopolitical agendas, turning the heads of our own worst losers with hatred to keep stoking the sacrifice of Ukrainians' bodies and dignity. 1/2

@Wilson__Valdez One day he'll need eyelid surgery

Platner's promoters can clearly win the Democratic primary in Maine. But can they win the general? And if they win the general, can they assure anyone that Platner won't be another Fetterman, Sinema, or Manchin? After all, Sanders is an independent.

@ZaidJilani @JakeAuch "accidental tattoo" Kind of like Beck's lyric: "Drive-by body pierce"

@JakeAuch Why is an accidental tattoo disqualifying and not supporting Trump policies that killed many thousands of people?

Susan Collins is a rubber stamp for the worst admin in history. Claims that I would endorse her, implicitly or otherwise, ignore my track record supporting Democrats to take back both chambers. As I said months ago, I find Platner's Nazi tattoo and his commentary about it personally disqualifying. If it were me I'd vote for someone else in the Maine Democratic primary. Regardless of what happens in Maine, Democrats need to take back the Senate and I'll keep working hard to make it happen.

"So the Communist Party said that if I needed wifi to do propaganda on their behalf then they have me covered!" People understand that if you admit to intending to engage in federal crimes that you then engage in then that's not political persecution, right?

@Valen10Francois Skill issue

There's a funny American version of this: 1) Enthusiastic pro-US non-western moderniser goes to the US 2) Is disgusted/disappointed by what he sees 3) Becomes a massive anti-American reactionary Wang Hunin, Solzhenitsyn, Edward Saïd, Sayyid Qutb...

@TrueSlazac If Alberta can secede from Canada, Athabasca can secede from Alberta. Why should Athabasca subsidize the rest?

If Alberta secedes where will Pierre Poilievre go to carpetbag?

One final hurrah before everything comes crashing down. H/T @VADave649

A big part of the reason people left of center are so angry about platner is the rank hypocrisy the left is peddling They have spent the last decade calling anybody associated with the Iraq and Afghanistan wars war criminals, genocidal murderers

Never forget that YOU are a data center. Drink some water!!

Not sure what you mean, but the IGs uncovered far more fraud than Elon's DOGE clown show

@zeteo_news 🤦🏼‍♂️

CLARIFICATION: Avi Lewis is Canada’s New Democratic Party leader.

“I think it’s really, really clear where Jews of conscience stand [on Palestine].” Canadian Party Leader @avilewis explains to @mehdirhasan why he identifies as anti-Zionist and believes most North American Jews feel similarly.

NEW- Tensions are rising between the Pentagon and SpaceX over multiple issues, including an episode where Elon Musk's company hiked the price of Starlink/Starshield - used to guide strike drones - at the start of the Iran war. reuters.com/business/aeros…

@EricMGarcia @AmanitaFugax Culture war trumps class war 9 times out of 10

@IvoHDaalder @jameskgreer77 @POLITICOEurope You are confusing military victory and political victory. Read Clausewitz.
