88 just happens to be a Nazi reference used by white supremacists. Curious coincidences.

Life is what you make of it.

How does a search engine know where to point you? It injests all that data and processes it ‘locally’ on the search engines systems using algorithms to organize the data for search. It’s effectively the same dataset.

LLM is absolutely another iteration of Search, with natural language ouput for the same input data. Are you advocating against search engine data injest as not fair use and copyright violations as well?

You equate LLM to Intelligence which it is not. It is algorithmic search interation with natural language responses, but that doesn’t sound as cool as AI. It’s neat, it’s useful, and yes, it should cite the sourcing details (upon request), but it’s not (yet?) a real intelligence and is equal to search in terms of fair use and copyright arguments.

LLM is just another iteration of Search. Search engines do the same thing. Do we outlaw search engines?

Dont worry, they will.

This is quite obviously about power. Control of capital by entrenched power brokers through copyright under the guise of protecting the children. It’s never really about protecting people.

Even GDPR was a set of reduced half measures on privacy protection. Website buttons snd check boxes that default give away your data is not privacy protection, it’s state endorsed bureacratized privacy invasion.

Everyone from Ohio anywhere else. ;)

Your simplification of the issues to steer this into your preferred narrative and conclusion is also asinine. The EU power broker’s hands weren’t getting their share of the bribes and are punishing orgs that didnt realize that the corruption they take part in is everywhere. Corruption in EU countries is old world corruption and is just part of the system bottom to top. Nobody has clean hands.

AI or not, this looks unnervingly accurate enough to be one of my uncles in the 80s, including the open chest denim vest sewn onto a tshirt. The 80s was wild, kids.

Soundbites over substance is the name of the corporate PR game.

Wendys hasn’t been “better” than McD’s for at least 15 years. 80s and 90s Wendys was next level. 00s was the decline, 10s were the bottom out years and they’ve never recovered.

Have you had any flu like symptoms since 2020?

Were you vaccinated and boostered?

Lots of people like to pretend they didn’t get it while not actually knowing.

Like a Republican.

His own second in command threw his evil bitch ass down an access shaft to his death while a united opposition got together and blew up his doomsday moon sized space collosus.

You can root for losers all you want.

So my 16 year account with 90k legit comment karma wasnt good enough to be invited?

Now I dont get to early participate in the fomo panic IPO being forced by investors?

I could’ve made or lost tens of dollars.

I can appreciate the logic and the fervor behind your positions.

I will argue a step further zooming out that Basic Human Rights are inherent without politics at all. Knowledge comes before politics.

If anything, politics demotes rights from inherent to defined and limited. Which, simply put, sucks.

Politics is a game, don’t ever forget that. We are all in the game and have to keep playing as long as everyone else keeps playing. It’s all bullshit layered on top of bullshit, rules laid out by someone that came before with rules added by someone after that, and later again someone else to make up more rules.

Some of the bullshit works great and helps overcome life’s struggles and adversities. Some bullshit brings us all down together and is ruinous to us as a species. Some bullshit even tends to be ruinous to the entire ecology of life on our tiny blue dot in the universe.

Just be careful to not get too caught up in the bullshit.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve voted in every election since I was old enough to vote and I do have a certain feeling of responsibility towards civic duty for the sake of a civilized society (and more-so now, for my children, which does help reinforce that ideal). I also try to engage with the news of world and am generally self aware enough to be thoughtful, rational, and capable of compromise.

I don’t vote for politics, I vote for ideals.

Cheers.

Everything is about perspectives and everything has nuance that must be taken into account. Yes, that can be really fucking annoying and sometimes works against our hopeful outcomes and does cause our good soundbite moments to be tarnished. There is not a singular universal argument in favor or against every single possible concept we create as a thinking society. To some extent, everything as we conceptualize it is malleable.

Your whole argument looks wholesale more about rejecting politics to embrace idealism. Which is a good thing in my estimation, and seems better situated to have outcomes more inline with what you, and we all, may be looking for out of life in general. Basic human rights aren’t political, they’re an ideal that goes beyond the limitations of politics.

So in that way, the following works exactly the same towards your preferential outcomes:

Reject politics. Embrace Idealism. Solidarity forever.

Wordpress.com sites are trash.

Wordpress as a CMS otherwise is fine.

Yes, you need to use Oxygen Builder, Divi, or Elementor to WYSIWYG effectively.

Yes you need to have daily backups and a security tool like Wordfence or WPMUDev’s Defender.

But it works, its easy to build and migrate, it integrates with everything you want it to, and the content creation and management is super simple for an end user to manage. You can also get support for it from everywhere and anywhere at this point.

Reality: Everything sucks and you have to adapt and adjust to bullshit on any and every CMS you work with.

Worrying so much about privacy from your email service and not running your own goddamn email server seems a bit disconnected from the reality of using any cloud services hosted by anyone else at all.

You think karma matters to trolls? How long have you been around the internet?
