Trump is showing us his true autocratic colors.... even maga's beginning to see AI LLM and other models do NOT have permission to use content I generate for training

For the thinking tech bro... is this REALLY what you were going for when you voted for Trump?

Antifa means anti-fascist, right?

So, he's profa?

Geoff Dalander @gdalander.bsky.social · 10h

He's right, of course.

But what's getting him to speak now when he backed Trump time and again before?

Is the maga coalition cracking?

Like many truths: brutal.

Thanks for sharing this sad loss of memory of how bad evil can be

RepubliCANTs have lost our trust

and hooks us all in the process. Even now, me responding to you and maybe you responding to my 'like' is part of the mechanism. WHAT we do is a choice, but the fact that it hooks?

Not so simple. None of us are immune any more than the 'recreational' fentanyl user. Try it... first one's free

Any truth to the idea that TikTok pushes American kids to irrelevant or hateful ideas while in China the algorithm pushes learning and cooperation?

Either way, it's social engineering and limbic system hijack... none of us are immune

Really intriguing

I'm sure we have already stopped funding further research on this

The hostages are released (20 alive). That's good.

But it's FAR too early to be trumpeting about peace in Gaza. Step 2 - getting Hamas to put down their weapons - is much harder

www.foxnews.com/politics/tru...

Trump has freed more than 70 US hostages in less than a year; Biden released around 70 in four years

President Donald Trump’s administration has secured the release of more than 70 U.S. hostages who were held by foreign governments since taking office in January.

Or will they ram it down their throat as in Texas?

We ARE the majority party, after all, so it makes sense.

What this doesn't seem to measure is the depth of feeling about an opinion

In other words, a rational & logical policy might not ovewhelm a deep-seated rage at some 'other'

I guess they were right about paid agitators
