Letters of marque and reprisal now. This one is sailing further and further back into dark ages.

In practice, the differences between privateers and pirates were sometimes slight, even merely a matter of interpretation

You might get the first customer.

… and then you find something like a Philippinian trading giant where you still can’t know or do a thing.

Meta […] its most powerful AI models

The ones we all laughed at last week?

IT WILL hit critical mass to replace your avg idiot long before the profit problem really hits at this rate.

Up until this point you made a lot of sense.

But this, nobody knows at the moment: which one will happen first? And that’s already the investor’s problem. RIGHT NOW.

Btw CEOs and managers might be the first “average idiots” 🤫

Maybe if the shockwaves happen at 2.450 GHz and carry quite a lot of energy… 😇

but it’s cheaper

and way less dangerous.

So what can I do to make a lemmy link better findable?

In case you want to know the origin of “The Spiral” look here:

Easy:
1.
Set up a mastodon instance.
2.
Call it a ‘social network.’
3.
Open user registration
4.
After a while, ask for money from every user.

1 mill per month should be OK if you are god, since it’s 100.000 currently if you are prez.

Yes, a real “me too, me too”

The AI-assisted projections […] puzzled the audience, dpa reported, with images including former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the towers of the World Trade Center after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, and a special postage stamp marking German reunification in 1990.

A slide show of unrelated, overly pathetic stuff that an intern could have glued together on her first day?

No wonder people got bored.

SRSLY?

"Sir it appears they cut it down

You mean, somebody cut it down?

Naaah… surely it was just the wind that moved this chainsaw.

Sabotage is a deliberate action aimed at weakening a polity, government, effort, or organization through subversion, obstruction, demoralization, destabilization, division, disruption, or destruction. One who engages in sabotage is a saboteur. Saboteurs typically try to conceal their identities because of the consequences of their actions and to avoid invoking legal and organizational requirements for addressing sabotage.

Oh, sh*t…

if a school shooting actually happened and they just sat on the information?

But you do understand that they did not “have the information” in this case, don’t you?

They created a false suspicion.

Thank you.

but I don’t want any more school shootings either.

ooof

…

Do you really, really believe that connection exists?

…

Then I want to ask you, please think about who it is. Who is more likely to become a school shooter:

The person venting her frustration to a friend?
Or the person who has no friend?

that is a completely different situationthough.

Of course it is. You always joke about the things around you. I can’t make jokes about students, because I have none. But I have your mommy.

You don’t make bomb jokes in line at the TSA either.

For several years, I was commuting by plane and I made a joke there, every time, always the same joke, about having a weapon.

Later, I stopped doing that when I saw they were different people there. The frustrated and underpaid kind.
