  • Texas food label law could force the food industry to change what it sells.

  • Yeah, credit where its due. People don't generally think of Texas or West Virginia as having their shit together, but here we are.

  • DNC chair on leaked call says Hogg ‘essentially destroyed’ initial credibility

    Jump

  • Did he ever have credibility to begin with? Gun control is a non-starter, and that's his claim to fame.

  • Why was the aristocrat university getting welfare checks in the first place?

  • When will you "quit" the internet?

    Jump

  • There's a lot to unpack here.

    Lets start with the attempt to define "usefulness" as the degree to which connection to humans happens. Human connection on the internet has always been illusory. Yet we still find utility in it.

    "Trusted sources" have always been 100% biased in favor of whoever owns them. We all have equal free speech rights, but some of us are more free than others because the ability to purchase a bigger megaphone scales with access to capital.

    Organized, capitalized propaganda farms existed before LLMs and have been engaged in the same kind of destructive information warfare. LLMs seem to be more persuasive than the wage-slave humans employed by troll farms and other mass media outlets, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if it manufactures a more rational public opinion.

    LLMs lower the capital requirement to begin competing in the propaganda war. The biggest players who could afford to buy enormous media empires and fund human-generated influence operations are going to have to compete against the rest of us.

    This planet has been a soulless hellscape longer than any of us have been alive, and LLMs are more likely to improve the situation than make it worse.

  • Trump Finally Drops the Anti-Semitism Pretext | The latest letter to Harvard makes clear that the administration’s goal is to punish liberal institutions for the crime of being liberal.

    Jump

  • Its the students themselves who are criminally conservative, in addition to the schools administrative hierarchy promoting far-right neo-feudalism and calling it capitalism.

    Rape, assault, and battery are the accepted norm among the Harvard student body.

    For example:

  • lol, as if Harvard were liberal

    they're infamously, thuggishly conservative

  • Are there tips & tricks to quickly spot whether someone is a narcissist or otherwise on the "Dark triad"?

    Jump

  • they can't be corrected or are never wrong

    This is #1 for me. Its easy to spot, and they won't be able to hide it because it would drive them nuts to admit fault.

  • Is Lemmy a communist site?

    Jump

  • There's a lot of state sponsored propaganda from right wing, authoritarian countries that pay lip-service to popular communist ideas to keep the dictator in power.

    A lot of the noise comes from just a few of the users, so for the moment its easy enough to just block them all.

  • James Carville says he might sue ‘contemptible little twerp’ David Hogg for challenging incumbent Democrats

    Jump

  • “We, as the DNC, need to be seen as a body that can be trusted, that’s not putting its thumb on the scales,” a DNC member told Politico. “We have to be so strategic and careful with our resources right now. ... So why are we in this circular firing squad against Democrats?”

    Which side of the debate is this person trying to support?

    If the DNC wants to be seen as trustworthy and not putting its thumb on the scales against its constituents economic interests, then it makes sense to try to repair the broken parts of the party that are largely seen as untrustworthy and favoring the donor class over the people who vote for Democrats.

    So why are the corporate Dems shooting their own party in the foot by resisting changes to the failed status-quo?
