Turns out when you alienate all your allies, they don't like you anymore for some reason.

Is this how Twitter works now? Someone writes something useful in a decent place, then the first shill summarises, and the second shrill summarises the summary without even making it shorter? It's like going to YouTube to see a reaction video of a reaction video 🤯🤯🤯 but at least there I know it's actual people because AI can't properly fake videos.
I think this is how Twitter currently works. Users share informative information, than an influencer encapsulates it, while another influencer comes along and encapsulates it again but without reducing the length of the prior encapsulation. It’s roughly analogous to video-sharing platforms and reaction videos, however unlike those we can’t rule out the text isn’t an LLM.
This is huge. A commenter on Lemmy just discovered this simple hack that has been plaguing social media since the 90s. Read to the end to understand how. So this Lemmy commenter replied to another comment--this is so unchained, this is why I love social media--that was itself a reply to an image of some other replies originally spotted Garfield on reddit. They found that you can get people already primed for scrolling to read pretty much anything as long as you provide an engaging emotional framing for the pointless content.
For short clips, I think that this kind of "this guy said this" content is very achievable for AI - example (tbf this one is still 'person-based' as it's motion ~~capture~~ controlled)
whoa, you're saying a 6 time bankrupt felon can't manage an economy!? SAY IT ISN'T SO!
The thing about his bankruptcies is HE still got paid. So they don't make any difference to him.
Just like he doesn't care what happens to this country as long as he gets what he wants.
You’re definitely right. He’s enriching himself (and, by extension, his billionaire buddies, though the only goal is enriching himself because he’s a self centred pos) and that’s all he cares about. America? Meh. World politics? Meh. More money for him? “SIGN ME UP!”
Maybe you should have elected a racist rapist intead!
Damn. That’s what they did wrong
Business is tough. Companies don’t all make it. There’s no shame in that.
It’s not like he bankrupted a fucking CASINO or something like that.
THREE casinos lol
Casino: a business where the revenue stream consists mostly of, "You give me money. I give you less money back."
Yup. Casinos may as well be money printing machines. It’s essentially a mint. It just produces money after more money. How the fuck do you bankrupt THREE casinos. Holy shit.
Because you use them to launder money.
Here's my take.
Trump was in bed with the Mafia since dad gave him that small $1 million loan to get started.
But the real top bosses took one look at Donnie and fobbed him off on the second stringers. The top guys get the money, and the mooks hold Donnie's hand and show him where to sign.
So, Donnie learned from really dumb crooks. A smart crook would have kept all three casinos going, made legitimate profits and done ten times as much business laundering money.
Donnie thought he was a genius doing a bust out* that made him less money, but looked cool.
*Bust out. A legitimate business gets taken over by the mob. Starts ordering all kinds of high end merchandise. Don't pay for anything and sell the stuff cheap to other crooks. Eventually the legit business goes bankrupt, but the crew doesn't care.
Money laundering does seem likely. It is diaper Donnie after all
No one could have predicted this.
nope. If only someone said this would happen and tried to warn the country. Wishful thinking, i guess.
No Republican could've predicted this.
FTFY.
USA! USA! USA! We did it everybody! Once again, victory comes as easy as a homemade, baked-from-scratch, double-crust, lattice top apple pie made by the housekeeper I hired illegally and continue to pay slave wages to by threatening to report them for deportation. What, I'm contributing to the local tax base because they pay sales tax on the stuff they buy, you should be thanking me!

Are you saying becoming a US president doesn't make a pedophile rapist into Sun Tzu?

Of all zeit?
Claiming to be second or third greatest isn't that catchy. Also, the original one was Feldherr (~ Commander), despite there have been others from that category previously more successful than him.
Awww c'mon who could've seen that coming
