Not sure what the gringos think, but in my own country my people are taken to be both very lazy and hot-tempered, and also both illiterate and communist. They can't keep their racism consistent, though they call it "xenophobia" because they're historically illiterate themselves.

Well, you're already being tracked through many forms as the other user pointed out. But if your worry is your parents, on a cursory glance I see nothing that would require notifying your them for engaging with "harmful" content. It mostly places the burdens on the platforms to either ban that content or you, as notifying every single child on the internet seems like a huge hassle. I could be wrong though. (Please fix your links if you can)

Now if you want some advice, you can always get some free VPN like protonVPN to a foreign country and generally avoid attaching your real life identity to your "harmful" online activities. Tor is also pretty nice too, I guess. Nothing is really 100% "safe" and you're always at some risk, but this doesn't seem like the end of the world for your individual case.

The bill is still the usual 4-letter acronym rubbish the USA has been peddling to wreck the internet since it went mainstream. Somebody should revoke their internet license, "Reverse Great Firewall" style.

"Illegal" immigrants are just being used as scapegoats for the frustration of working class people with a system that doesn't even benefit them. You see, if you frame both the bourgeois gran blanc and proletarian petit blanc as inherently the same class and more deserving of rights, dignity or even power, then the small white will serve as the foot soldier to the property holder.

This has been a tried and true technique of the ruling class ever since the beginnings of colonialism, just now racial theories are no longer as attractive (but still popular), so they fall back on the legalistic sense that immigrants are "illegal" and "stealing jobs" or "bringing crime/drugs," because in fact not even the white proletarian life is particularly easy or privileged. It is just slightly better than that of the non-white (or non-cishet boyish) proletarian, and only getting worse with time, so keeping people addicted to those tiny privileges and hostile to positive change maintains a good buffer between the most oppressed and the actual most wealthy.

If you really look into the reasoning of the MAGA people, you'll see that they are in part motivated by a twisted notion of the material reality, be it jobs, crime, housing, but fail to find the actual culprit for those things and fall back on the same backwards Yankee notions they've been taught since young (race realism, Yankee exceptionalism, co-opted Christian values, hard work pays off, anti-communism). On the other hand, Democrat followers have to outright deny the material reality because to do otherwise they'd quickly lose faith in their own party. I think that's why they're so scared of people "Just Asking Questions," because they don't have answers, or how Clinton had to go "America is Already Great."

But the actual Democratic party is well aware of the material conditions:

The Biden administration is better in-name only, and has kept the concentration camps at the border.

They have, because those border camps serve as more than just racist arbitrariness. They not only serve as an incentive to keep the immigrants already in the USA in line and scared, but also have forced labour with barely any compensation and terrible living conditions. By shutting down those, Biden would be hurting the same class that put him and his party "in power," so they have no real reason to stop that. They'll just complain about it, like they did with other things like abortion, but shake their hands in the air and pretend there's nothing they could've done. They're not stupid, really, they know what they're doing most of the time.

The youth is like 80% minimum on board with a new party congress to solve this shit

We could take this over to !brasil@lemmygrad.ml, but I'm very interested in your "boots on ground" perspectives of what's going on internally. For instance, are there internal polls over that figure? Or what is the current plan regarding the congress? It's a bit difficult to get a proper picture of it between the very official notes on the RR website and the hard-to-verify rumours being thrown around on xtwitter/mastodon, for me as a party outsider. Since I assume most Brazilians here are from or related to the PCB, it might be a good starting point for newbies like me.

Honestly it's about time for this one, and this might even be a change for good. From what I've heard and read, the issues right now are so systemic and entrenched that there could be no solution from within the party. But from what I understand (and I might be wrong), the current split doesn't intend to create a different party, only to deal with the current leadership and make the party apparatus be actually effective for once.

To me this inspires some hope, as my biggest complaint in our politics was the lack of a truly committed and effective revolutionary party. Can't wait for the dust to settle.

As the old saying goes, "every party has a revisionist. If you don't know who they are, it might be you."

I think the main issue (which this article doesn't go into much detail) is that some of these productions will then go on to be streamed on AMPTP platforms like Apple TV. So it's indirectly still providing resources to AMPTP, specially considering how hard it is nowadays for indie film to see the light of day without some publisher.

Edit: this one goes into more detail with the example of Tehran.

You should do an AMA, your fans are dying to know ya. But seriously, your posts over there on the main instance are very nice and keep the place at least mildly tolerable. It's also cool to see the "educated" libs get confused by simple facts being posted without automatic removal or quarantining. Keep up the good work!

Can't wait for AI generated MCU movies rehashing Avengers 2. But yeah, China seems to be on the right track on this one. I just think that a lot of their international reception over AI is very muddled by the stock exchange AI hype train, when we really just need some cool image processing techniques and some great optimization discovery like Soviet Linear Programming. Fancy chatbots and "content generators" should be the last priority, though at least nobody is being made homeless to fuel their ones.

Might be a bit of digging for data for a few months first, but hey we’re materialists right?

Couldn't resist

Good tips. I actually live in a small apartment complex, but I don't even have access to sections so knocking on most doors would be a bit difficult. I've been thinking of just leaving cards in mailboxes and such with contact information in case they're interested. Do you think that'd be a good way to go, or sounds too much like a "Nigerian Prince" scam? It just so happens that I've met some interested people today outside the block, but momentum is always nice.

What does that even mean, though? It seems they're basically just committing to safe and reasonable technological development. Yeah, that's impossible under capitalism because stock line must go up, but it seems like they're conflating reviving Karl Marx as an AI with just not letting their chatbots spout nonsense.

To be fair, I have no idea how the AI world looks like in China, but elsewhere AI can mean anything from a linear regression to complex logical inference systems. With how shallow the newscorp coverage of their developments is, I'm never even sure if they're talking about LLMs or just automated logistics tools.

“This is a pretty significant set of responsibilities, and will make it hard for smaller companies without an existing compliance and censorship apparatus to offer services,” said Toner.

As if smaller companies ever had a chance with competing on this area in the first place, with the sheer amount of data and infrastructure required to put something like that online. Even the biggest companies need to do shit like this.
