I mean, to be real it’ll be an invasion club.
Join and pay up, and everyone votes that your invasion is for long-term stability and peace.
Don’t join up, and get labeled an aggressor for defending your own soverignity.
If Russia, China, NK join up, it stops being a joking matter
The point the fediverse is at right now would be refered to as the “golden age” if the fediverse ever takes off.
That doesn’t mean it will take off, and that doesn’t mean it would be better or worse if it takes off later.
Enjoy it for what it is, but if you want to recruit people to it…
Your time would be best doing that, and this is the worst place to do it.
is there any way if knowing if we have bots on lemmy or not? Is it just vibes based?
Man…
In a weird way, yeah, but only because the process of critical thinking is now being described as “vibes”…
Like, even when people can tell at a glance, it’s still critical thinking, it’s just been done so much that your brain autopilots it for you.
Im of course referring to undercover bots pushing agendas
That costs a non zero amount of money, and there isn’t a big enough audience here to justify it.
What I have seen, is people who will copy/paste a chatbot, but because they’re having to use actual credits, if you keep them going a couple comments the actual human will reply.
But those are very few, and doing personal agendas. Not a shadowy organization spinning a narrative. The ones doing it here, have just been banned from every where else for doing it already
There is value in this being documented, otherwise the person without “common sense” may be influenced by someone with an agenda who does document their thoughts.
Oh yeah, because no one has “documented” that AI is bullshit yet…
Only the brave Cory Doctrow could gather and disseminate this to the masses!
/s
Saying common sense stuff before others
Yeah bro…
No one else has pointed out AI will fail before 1/18/26…
Only the great Cory Doctrow could identify something that no other human has ever even contemplated.
I heard next, he’s going to release a blog post that Nazis might not be nice people
The document describes a mechanism resembling the “purchase” of influence: standard membership in the Board of Peace is limited to three years and depends on the will of the chairman. This restriction is lifted for states that contribute more than US$1 billion in cash to the fund within the first year.
“Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval,” Bloomberg says.
Pay a billion to get a vote, and everyone gets a vote…
But trump can overrule any vote…
And he can kick anyone out that he wants, so if you ever go against his opinion of the moment, he’ll kick you out.
Why the fuck would any country pay this?
how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?
Alright…
This is the point I give up on you ever being able to understand this.
I’m gonna go do something that has a chance of being productive, like teaching my dog how to do a one dog performance of The Nutty Proffesor, there’s a slight chance he pulls it off.
You’re never going to understand trump wasn’t awarded a fucking Nobel
I think it was Seth Meyers who made the joke that trump legitimately believes Alaska is an island close to Hawaii because of how US maps show it…
Like, he keeps talking about how we need a defendable area close to Russia, but keeps forgetting Alaska and Russia are basically spooning and Alaska is closer to Russia than Greenland or Canada
So if the Nobel Peace Price Committee is not ashamed
What?!
If you bought a bronze Olympic medal at a pawn shop, would you start declaring that you were awarded a bronze Olympic medal?
What the actual fuck are you even talking about?
This man has really built a career and following off saying common sense things…
I don’t know why people keep eating it up or acting like he’s a genius, but at least this time he isn’t coining a new term to “explain” something that leads to everyone using it but not understanding what’s actually happening.
Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Price medal
That’s just wild…
Do you honestly think trump “received a novel peace prize” because some idiot who should have never been awarded one gifted trump a physical medal?
Like, I’m literally dumbfounded here, please elaborate on what you think happened with trump and a Nobel peace prize.
Fifa want trump to change “soccer” to “football” and trump wanted a peace prize.
So FIFA made up a peace prize and gave it to trump.
And for like an afternoon trump rambled about how football should mean the same in America as everywhere else. But his followers didn’t latch on to it because no one in maga gives a fuck about soccer.
Fifa gained nothing, and made people hate them even more. I really don’t know why Europe doesn’t just make their own. FIFA has been corrupt and holding the sport back for decades.
Kind of weird to see OP out here arguing for people to donate to Wikipedia…
The core problem seems to be capacity: Wikipedia’s scale, multilingual sprawl, and procedural complexity mean that if Estonia’s and Lithuania’s volunteer communities only notice changes when they become “critical,” it may already be too late to prevent a narrative from hardening into the default global summary. Loopholes like this make Wikipedia attractive for hostile info warriors.
But the article is correct, stuff like this can be nipped in the bud, but due to a forced reliance on volunteers, there might not be the manpower to catch these things early.
Don’t just give up on Wikipedia, if it wasn’t effective these douchebags doing fraudulent editing for propaganda purposes wouldn’t be so long the ridiculous amount of time this takes, especially when the account doing it can be identified and easily removed once it’s noticed.
No different than banning trolls from a forum.
Still better than Danish…
/s
But yeah thanks! When I saw it was Finns I checked the Danes because they’re always doing their own thing, they go by 20s, so tens alternate “half 20s”.
It’s like someone had doubts people could count much past 12
More like the people who invented a lot of shit used base 12.
Things restarting at 12, is because the thing is so old, it predates base 10.
Like, pick a language, count to thirteen:
Ein, zwei, drei, fire, funf, sechs, seben, acht, neun, zein, elf, zwolf, dreizein…
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen…
Notice how 11 and 12 aren’t one-teen and two-teen?
On each hand is 4 sets of 3 knuckles, touch your thumb to each knuckle and your finger counting on one hand higher than we can with two. Pretty sure there’s some pretty neat math tricks with their method too, almost like built in abacus.
But all this is off memory.
Artists vary by location
These are a month apart, all over the place, and there’s a lot of weird exclusivity shit that goes into it.
Like, for the major festivals one way to verify lineup rumors is blank spots in the geographic area.
I have a feeling most of the big names will be doing a one hour set at a single location, and they may not even know it’s for a Kid Rock festival considering how shady maga normally is with this shit.
A lot of those names are gonna drop off now that it’s publicized
Kash Pattel keeps trying that and it’s not working…
If one circle is blurry, it can look like a Venn diagram.
As it gets more focused, it looks like the Venn just overlaps more than it did originally.
Then one day, everyone’s like “wait a minute, it’s been a single blurry circle the whole time” and everyone can see it.
It’s not common usage now, but has before. So maybe they switched it up on accident, but if it was intentuonal then it wasn’t necessarily wrong. They just meant as the differences get more defined, we realize they aren’t really differences.
Eh, the terracotta emporer from China almost definitely has booby traps that are likely still functional after 2,000.
We don’t know, because the absolutely insane amount of open mercury in the tomb would have filled it with toxic gases, although it’s likely that wasn’t the intent.
But yeah, most “ancient” tombs were pillaged centuries ago. What little happens now is entirely black market and people probably die all the time.
I know Kim Kardashian took a booty selfie with a sarcophagus at the MET Gala a couple years ago, and one of the illegal tomb raiders recognized it. And because he never got his cut, he snitched to local authorities. So it still happens, we just don’t hear about the vast amount. Just the very careful government sanctioned ones.
If you think he predicts anything, you’re streets behind
He repeats what anyone could find in a five minute Google search from articles written by others.
I’ve never seen an original thought, he’s the Carlos Mencia of tech.
