Keep that in mind when we need Australia to take American refugees, friend.

The thing is AI voices are only good enough to trick most listeners. If you know what to listen for, or can dissect the audio professionally, it's trivial to fact check.

There has always been image/audio doctoring. Any reputable news source can reasonably identify these things.

He sucks, but the man can read a room. The right felt they lost on anti-gay so sowed an anti-trans movement for about a decade. Trump's just here to reap.

Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!

Not to mention most modern office buildings can't be converted into what is actually useful—housing. They need to be simply scrapped and replace.

If we adopted more mixed use zoning, there wouldn't be this juggling act and waste. Cities could adapt to needs.

Insurance companies will love the new discrimination machine, best not think about how it handles edge cases /s

This sort of AI use should be banned outside of a research context.

Good. Beef (and I'm sorry, dairy) really need to be cut out of our diets. Cattle are the least sustainable livestock, even when raised in "quality" conditions (free range grass fed). It's so wildly subsidized that it's also the cheapest often.

Frankly there are plenty of alternatives and they will be more prevalent when the industry needs to actually cover cattle costs themselves.

Simply replace it with a memorial for the enslaved folks these losers fought to subjugate. Let the Confederate legacy be lost to time and honor the people who persevered through unimaginable evils.

To be clear this is unlikely to be a long term nation wide internet blackout. Rather, e.g., turn off the Internet in a section of a city and send in troops to deal with a protest.

They'll boil the frog slowly enough. Threads is huge compared to the fediverse, and will likely do piecemeal federation. Like sending account activity out but not sharing any fediverse voices, getting everyone here following and desensitized

I'm not super familiar with the right terminology, but in short I think users should be able to follow whoever they want, but restrictions on how it is interacted with is fair game. I think following and replying to threads accounts is sort of a must, even if boosting and other functions are disabled. Also on favor of preventing non-replies from being sent to threads.

The real issue issue is interop with Threads means surveillance of users. Limiting the info going from here to there is essential. However a read-only mode that lets us get some value out of it is fine

Just say it. Just call them savages you want exterminated.
You don't care about death or suffering, you care about how "impure and backwards they are". To be cleaned for "progress"

You're building up to it, just speak plainly. You want to improve the land of Palestine by clearing out the savages. It's the genocidal colonial logic you subscribe to. Let people know who you are.
