sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
another classic right wing shill response. I know you can't help but keep doing the same tired, failed song and dance but please try to get new material. It's getting embarrassingly easy to spot

Ethnicity and culture is mutable and always will be. People move and intermingle. That is human. Trying to artificially isolate a group of people with a particular set of genes is unnatural, gross, and eventually leads to genetic stagnation. Your thinking is backwards and unsustainable which is why movements espousing these views always fail.

I'm sure it'll work next time though /s

Wow, way to be subtle in your far right shilling. keep it up, you're doing great and nobody can tell. so subtle

Citing classic great replacement theory rhetoric on the 'data of a disappearing people' is not compelling. Miscegenation is very human that happens in every society. Ethnicity and culture is mutable and always will be. People move and intermingle. That is human. Trying to artificially isolate a group of people with a particular set of genes is unnatural, gross, and eventually leads to genetic stagnation.

Your whataboutisms are weak. Other dominant ethnic groups can be supremacist. Backwards logic is not limited to white peoples.

Take your fascist apologia elsewhere. No one is interested

Your assertion on coherence for a functional society and your extreme hypothetical is fallacious. Multiple governments and societies across the globe operate effectively without a single national language.

The united states for example, current situation acknowledged, saw a meteoric rise even with, perhaps even because of a rich cultural tapestry that could be in no way described as coherent. Sure there are large blocs of cultural identity across multiple regions, but that's about it, and even then that's been on the decline for some time.

If it costs you 200k pounds to house a single person, it sounds like the main issue isn't the immigrant/refugee but your economic system. What makes that far right is blaming the other for your society's greater ills

Cultural preservation is for museums when it can no longer be organically sustained. Coherence is as non-sensical as trying to preserve eye and skin color. Culture is mutable and always will be. You might as well try to stop the tide

Good luck suing the site that's hosted anonymously. I'm sure that won't be a futile legal exercise
sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
The thing that invalidates it is that its a classic right wing troll tactic that actively hurts actual discussion of serious topics. I think I'll rise above internet argument rules this time and exercise free will
sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Ask for quite reasonable and get one of the most classically far right, white supremacist tropes of all time.

You aren't fooling anyone

What 'quite reasonable' things have been labeled far right?
sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
This is a bad faith response. Don't feed the troll
sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
Considering the emails were originally accessed through illegal hacking, I doubt copyright and personality rights(?) are a factor in any way.
sheikhnbake··on AfD Leak: What 421,179 Hacked Emails Show about the German Far Right
The actual emails can be accessed through the torrent. Although I can't imagine just publishing the emails in their entirety would be more resource/labor intensive than publishing individual AI summaries of each.
sheikhnbake··on CERN and Mistral join forces to accelerate AI for science
AI has been beneficial in multiple research fields across maths and science. That is to say, it's actually benefited humanity in those particular use cases.

As opposed to enshitifying the lives of the working class in most other areas.

The footage can still be retained and used without audio
sheikhnbake··on Americans Trust in Federal Government Sinks to New Depths
That's the neat part about these fascist morons. They have delusions of longevity and have convinced themselves that they'll be the despots that never get overthrown. Or they flee to Argentina, as is tradition
sheikhnbake··on Americans Trust in Federal Government Sinks to New Depths
Step 1: Render government services ineffective

Step 2: Award contracts to private companies to fulfill the recently created gap in need

Step 3: profit

sheikhnbake··on 'Pull the plug': protesters resort to direct action against AI firms
I wouldn't go that far. Assassin is giving the kid too much credit. Arsonist I think would be more appropriate. Maybe 'terrorist' under the strict definition of someone using terror as a means to influence policy. Otherwise an enthusiastic anti-AI activist
sheikhnbake··on 'Pull the plug': protesters resort to direct action against AI firms
You're right. my b. I was a silly goose and misinterpreted
sheikhnbake··on 'Pull the plug': protesters resort to direct action against AI firms
Violence is a valid form of protest, especially in the context of violent oppression.

The appropriateness of violence in the context of AI companies can be debated.

But invalidating violence as a means of protest entirely is naive and silly.

sheikhnbake··on 'Pull the plug': protesters resort to direct action against AI firms
AI companies and their tech elite proponents are the bastards du jour. They'll be targeted until something worse inevitably comes along to take the heat off.

I don't think anyone is claiming that AI companies are responsible for the world as it is right now. That being said, most of the things heralded by AI CEO's will not benefit, but in fact harm, the working class.

You may not approve of lashing out, but many people are left with little choice and not a lot of options. Bartenders, like the one mentioned in the article, can't all have meteoric political ascensions like AOC in the U.S.

Peaceful, pre-approved protests and marches are just block parties and parades. Great for networking and raising awareness, but not useful in influencing levers of power. Direct action is much more effective over time.

sheikhnbake··on Jonathan Haidt: AI Is the 'Neutron Bomb for Education' [video]
Agreed.

Ultimately it's the same issue across all technological tools. If the tools (AI, wikipedia, calculators, etc) can be used to complete work (or homework) without understanding the underlying fundamental concepts of the work being done, then you're hurting your education and/or professional development

sheikhnbake··on Jonathan Haidt: AI Is the 'Neutron Bomb for Education' [video]
I reckon it's a similar issue to wikipedia when that became a resource available to us in school. Being taught how to use AI as a resource as opposed to 'the source' is the critical distinction. Which I guess is also the same issue when it comes to professionals and how they use AI

Maybe we'll see an exodus of landlords as this becomes a less economically viable lifestyle.

Can property owners not just go to small claims court?
sheikhnbake··on A Cop Searched 19,000 Flock Cameras Across 1,558 Cities. His Reason: 'LMAO'
I don't think it would need to validate the applicability of the warrant to the requested data. It would just be checking that a valid warrant exists. The deterrent to abuse would be that a Judge's name is attached to each warrant. Cops have lied to judges before to get bogus warrants but I think it would make abuse less likely overall.
sheikhnbake··on A Cop Searched 19,000 Flock Cameras Across 1,558 Cities. His Reason: 'LMAO'
That's a fair point. The only other validation gate I can think of within our current system would be a valid warrant number. A system where the warrant automatically limits the search by time and geo-fence could be interesting.
sheikhnbake··on A Cop Searched 19,000 Flock Cameras Across 1,558 Cities. His Reason: 'LMAO'
That wasn't an initial safety feature. It was added after abuse had already been reported. Flock also needs to require a case number or some other method of validation for legitimate use. Presuming the continue to exist in any capacity. Otherwise we're just going to keep discovering incidents like this.
