If it’s chocolate, definitely yes. If it’s Nestle, also definitely yes.

It does, but if it has compromised the BIOS before that, that won’t get wiped.

Something can’t become categorically imperative, a quiddidity such as an essentially categorical property is invariant with respect to time. It either is or it isn’t. Per contra, aesculapian aid might become dispositionally required.

This is literally the platform of right-populism. “Wasn’t it good in the 50s when a single income for a guy with an associates was enough to support a family in a life of comfort, and a summer job could pay for university? That’s why women shouldn’t be in the workforce and black people shouldn’t have rights.”

You don’t understand why people might more frequently discuss the actions of someone with enormous power and influence, than they would those of Darryl from high school?

Ok, but not every random asshole is the richest guy in the world…

when usually the purpose of a question like that is more like “what was the result when you talked to them?”

But then say that? There’s a clear distinction in tone between those two wordings, even if they express similar thoughts.

Yeah, it is also just a philosophy word. But antisemites use it to refer to “dialectical materialism”, which is a real term for Marxist philosophy, but by which they mean “cultural Marxism”, a thing they made up by which they in turn mean “the Jews are going to impose communism on us through psyops that convince us it is good, so we have to exterminate them.”

Basically, like much of their coded language, it is a reference to a conspiracy theory.

I don’t think that’s right, context matters. It spreads when it is shared uncritically and people come across it in a context where they don’t have their guard up. I believe it is preventative, to some extent, the other way around, when it is shared in a context ripping it to shreds.

People will come across antisemitism in the wild, and it is important that they learn to recognise it. This quote is pretty extreme, but it is important that people know that antisemites use words like e.g. “dialectical” as a dog whistle. The next time they hear someone say something about it when one of their facebook friends share something they might notice that they talk about “Hollywood elites” or whatever in the same way.

Without a good understanding of how antisemitism works we are all susceptible.

Correction: they have spent some fraction of 73M on propaganda, and likely embezzled the rest.

Just to add to this, the name for this logical error is “affirming the consequent”.

That’s the point, they don’t believe it’s gonna wipe us out, it’s just a convenient story for them

Geez, I hope they’re paying you to suck their dick this hard

When buggy software is used by unreasonably powerful entities to practise (and defend) discrimination that’s dystopian…

The world used to think the US was cool. Mainstream public opinion changed roughly around the bush (W) era.

AI has been being developed for 50 years and the best we can do so far is a dunning-kruger sim. Sure, who knows what it “can do” at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

No yeah that’s exactly the problem. Because it’s musk, we can be confident it is just bullshit and won’t result in any meaningful innovation. It’s just torturing monkeys for shits and gigs.

Do you mean “we (humans)”? Because “the royal we” just means “I”. Like how the queen says “we are not amused” when they mean “I don’t like it”. Related to how in many European languages (including early-modern and older English) the plural is a polite form of address (like tu and vous in French, du and sie in German, thou and you in English)
