@freeschool Those thinkers in trouble are in trouble largely because of how everyone else behaves to begin with. So yes, i do entierly blame people for that one.

@freeschool I think for the majority of the people it doesnt matter what a tarrif is. They simply hear "the other side proposed a thing therefore its evil". Thinking is not something americans do anymore.

@freeschool

Depending on what ideas you foster this may be relevant (this non-profit will also wind up as the home for QOTO I suspect):

I will be kicking off a non-profit, funded from my main company, that will be another W3C, OpenGroup, ANSI/ISO and IEEE member. It will be a open-source incubator and focus on ethics in AI/AGI. As a member of standards organizations members will be able to contribute to existing standards and help us write and propose our own.

IF anyone is interested in being a member and by proxy being a member in the W3C, etc, just message me, we would love some volunteers who might be interested in helping out.

@stux

To what are you refering? The only one that comes to mind off hand is Elon's pump and dump BS he pulled in the past.

@randahl

Zoom in on these two pictures of her. Notice two dead giveaways... 1) the pupils of her eyes are not round, but rather are oddly shaped (almost rectangular) with a jagged edge. 2) notice that despite being able to see her freckles in both pictures that there is a very dominate and easy to notice freckle on her right cheek (from our perspective) in one photo that is complete absent in the other.

Even if you can handwave at #2 somehow, good luck explaining why she has an almost rectangular pupil with jagged edges....

@randahl

Ok I went to a bigger screen and zoomed in... Can 100% see proof it is AI now.

@randahl

Would be happy to discuss further. No rush.. I am doubting myself since the account is clearly fishy and fake.. im just not sure if the photos are real or an AI... no matter how hard i look im not seeing evidence of AI yet... yet....

@randahl

By the way i missed the part about the double face, ill answer it shortly im reading throught he feed now to find it and ill let ya know.

@randahl

I mean, I literally write AI for a living. So my point is, either this account wrote the best AI image generating software that we have ever seen, or it isnt AI... im going through her pictures looking for even a single artifact and im not finding any. Her damn freckles are even aligned perfectly.

@randahl

Doing a close inspection... even her wrinkles and freckle positions are identical... going to have to go with a solid no on AI here.

@randahl

Possibly AI but unlikely. Though I'd say very likely the account is fake.

Because of the way AI works generally when you create fake images of a person they will appear somewhat inconsistent (appearing a bit fatter or darker skinned between pics). If this is AI they managed to do a better job than the top paid AI for generating head shots, which I've used and it is far less consistent with the images.

@olives What exactly are you refering to? My time there was quite lovely, certainly much nicer than any time ive ever spent in the USA...

@GossiTheDog

Not entierly true, though I do agree with the spirit here.

VC have invested in the fediverse (bluesky, as well as other servers)

There are "shareholders", those would be the people in control of the AP spec.

There are growth targets for the network, as Eugene has stated on a few occasions.

These arent bad things mind you, which Is why I am glad they exist...

@vwbusguy

Really? I use a model M because it is the loudest keyboard I could find. If you are telling me the logitech blue is louder that is a pretty strong argument to switch to it... you sure? I have my doubts.

@realcaseyrollins

Im not talking about tarrifs he created, im talking about the total number of tarrifs on the books.

Remember Biden can always choose to remove or add tarrifs, ergo regardless of if he personally created them any tarrif on the books is one he has oked regardless of if he creates it. At the end of Biden's reign there was a total of 600 billion in tarrifs under the 301 that he has either created or allowed to stay on the books during his presidency.

Meanwhile trump has only suggested 80 billion in tarrifs total.
