  • Police issues a dispersal order, but blocks all routes to safely leave the area.

    Congratulations, you will now be charged as having committed a crime and good luck proving in a court that there was no realistic option for you to leave.

    Also police seizes your phone. Congratulations now they access your data and either go after people you have had contact with or they claim you to be part of a criminal organization as they pin other charges on people they found a connection with.

  • So they shoot rubber bullets at journalists...

  • The Democrats want Fetterman and Friends to be in power. They want to enable the Fascists. This is intentionally and by design. The Democrats represent the same oligarchies interests like the Republicans.

    They will not do anything about this, unless forced to. This is why it is crucial to build up an actually progressive third party and apply proper pressure from within the Democrats too, instead of all this "vote blue no matter who" bootlicking we have seen over the past years.

  • And that can be judged from the outside?

    The same can apply to polyandry, or what is said to be polyandry but based on one or multiple people involved ultimately being coerced. Come to think of it, all the people i knew who prided themselves in polyandry had relationships that seemed rather toxic to me.

    There is no moral superiority of relationship forms. Whether the relationships are consensual, respectful and just always is individual to the people involved.

  • If everyone involved consents, should that be anyone else's business?

  • I recently had an online event about using "AI" in my industry, construction.

    The presentor finished on "Now is no the time to wait, but to get doing, lest you want to stay behind".

    She gave examples of some companies she found that promised to help with "AI" in the process of designing constructions. When i asked her, if any of these companies are willing to take the legal risk that the designs are up to code and actually sound from an engineering perspective, she had to deny.

    This sums it up for me. You get sold a hype by people who dont understand (or dont tell) what it is and isnt to managers who dont understand what it is and isnt over the heads of people who actually understand what it is or at least what it needs to be to be relevant. And these last people then get laid off or f*ed over in other ways as they have twice the work than before because now first they need to show to management why the "AI" result is criminal and then do all the regular design work anyways.

    It is the same toxid dynamic like with any tech bro hype before. Just now it seems to look good at first and is more difficult to show why it is not.

    This is especially dangerous when it comes to engineering.

  • Not just Russia.

    Israel, US, China, North Korea, India and other countries... Nuclear Lobby, Fossil Fuel Lobby and countless other industry lobbyists... Private companies advertising their products...

  • I know that people here generally like to shit on Brave, but it seems that the claim "Privacy by default" has held up in this context.

  • Using machine learning including neuronal networks, generative AI based off of neuronal networks and so on exist well longer than since the past few years.

    "DeepDream" was released as a software ten years ago. Research into LLMs exists since at least the 90s.

    "AI" also has been a hype term in many industries since a decade, just that it reached the general public with the ChatGPT hype.

  • "our crypto is backed in value by bitcoin"

  • If i understood it correctly, meta wants to slap its own crypto-currency on everything.

  • Well, the decentralization of Bitcoin only lasted so long. Now it is in the hand of a few large "mining" corporations who can afford the hardware and have access to cheap electricity.

  • LLMs among other things lack the whole neurotransmitter "live" regulation aspect and plasticity of the brain.

    We are nowhere near a close representation of actual brains. LLMs to brains are like a horse carriage compared to modern cars. Yes they have four wheels and they move, and cars also need four wheels and move, but that is far from being close to each other.

  • If you’re involved in an accident while exceeding 130 km/h, you may be held partially liable (Mitverschulden) — even if the accident was mostly the other party’s fault.

    This is the key aspect. Going over 130 kph the other parties insurance will claim partial responsibility on your side.

  • Yeah. The left lane is not intended for people going below 250 kph. Source: The Mercedes/BMW/Porsche that has been tailgating me and honking at me for going 200 kph only.

  • In order to develop bladder issues, people need to abuse Ketamine frequently for a longer time and with high doses. Just doing it on weekends at parties wont cause such issues for a long time. Also Ketamine develops a crazy tolerance.

  • The Torah is where the ten commandments first are written down. By Jews in Hebrew.

    And just not mentioning a group explicitly, does not mean you dont attack them.

  • The Torah has been preserved in Hebrew, but changed in writing over time. The Quran has been preserved in Arabic and the original text is preserved, which is also why the language is preserved.

    Your argument is factually wrong and calling all Jews, Muslims and Christians "fucking idiots" is racist and antisemitic.
