John McAfee explains the real reason for the crackdown on TikTok.

Great read. Another stab at making sense of majority beliefs/psychology.

"Why do so many people still support lockdowns? In a poll I referenced yesterday, only 27% of Brits think that lockdowns were a mistake. 54% disagreed with the statement “In retrospect, lockdowns were a mistake”."

So @internetarchive scanning books for their digital library is copyright infringement:

But OpenAI slurping all of that to train a model that then can generate text and put actual authors out of business (already happening with copywriters), is not.

Figures, there are no $billions of VC / corporate money behind Internet Archive, why would anyone want to support a public service, right? 🤦‍♀️

IA ≠ AI, know the difference!

BANK CRASH BINGO...

Sometimes the internet really delivers.

Yes tiktok is spying on you for the Chinese government and yes it’s steering narratives for the Chinese government. That’s why the feds want to ban it.

Not because they care about you, but because they don’t want any competition.

Macron while asking for sacrifices from the French people realizes he is wearing a € 80,000 watch and like a magician makes it disappear under the table. Unworthy.

Boosts appreciated!

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely.

The Edge... There is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Hey

This is a PSA to IMMEDIATELY DELETE EVERY PHOTO OF YOU FROM THE INTERNET, especially if you are FEMALE

There is a free and open self-hostable AI called Stable Diffusion that anyone can run on their computers, provided that they have a recent-ish GPU (It works great on my 1070) that is able to edit any image to do anything you want.

I have successfully removed the clothes of photos of women, which can be applied to any photo you give it, as well as edited the photo to have lewd significance.

If you do not want to be the target of pornographic deepfakes, then please PURGE ANY PHOTOS OF YOU FROM THE PUBLIC INTERNET.

If you need examples, I can provide them via DMs, I will not share how to do this but it is pretty simple to find out if you’re a techy person.

(it would be cool if you boosted this)
