I mean who doesn't have a couple grands to donate? That's like the chump change you get for groceries or smth

Tiktok got banned not for peddling "chinese propaganda" but instead not peddling the US one.

All the major tech companies in the US take measures to ensure content deemed unworthy by the government never become mainstream or viral.

This is done under the pretense of stopping "hate speech" or "terroristic propaganda" but often include things like pro-palestinian content or class struggle content (like luigi mangione stuff).

Tiktok was bold enough to not do that by default, cuz they wanted someone to ask them to do this and then it would become a huge scandal about how the US suppresses free speech. And US gov don't want to do that for this exact reason as well. So they decided to ban it.

Remember talks for this "law" were initiated when all of a sudden tiktok became a host for pro-palestinian voices. We should ask ourselves, how is it that 60% of americans want the government to stop arms sales to israel but this 60% never shows up on the big social media platforms. But on other platforms like here in lemmy and tiktok, pro-palestinians is the majority.

For further reading, listen to employees fired from big US tech companies for voicing their concerns over the palestine issue, or read Meta's new terms and conditions specially the section on "dangerous organizations and individuals".

Congestion fees are a very capitalist way of solving it. This law basically exists for everyone except rich people (i,e. Those who can afford to pay fees).

All this is based on a false assumption that money has an objective value. But in reality, 1$ means different things for different classes.

What you are talking about is machine learning which is called AI. What the post is talking about is LLMs which are also called AI.

AI by definition means anything that exhibits intelligent behavior and it is not natural in nature.

So when you use GMaps to find the shortest path between 2 points that's also AI (specifically called local search).

It is pointless to argue/discuss AI if nobody even know which type they are specifically talking about.

Maybe pirate your media and donate the money to open source alternatives

Something

This is a by-product of modern society (maybe late stage capitalism). We need to be sold a "solution" to a problem. Reducing consumption is not something that can easily be sold hence these carbon capture, recycling plastic "solutions".

Unless someone can make money off of it, reducing emissions is going to be difficult.

At birth there are usually more males than females. Around adulthood age they are roughly equal, and around our death there are way more females than males.

Another one, kinda romantic as well. Most life long couples, when one of them dies due to old age, the other one follows soon. Despite women having a longer life span than men.

Another interesting one, most relationships end within 7 years. Once the 7 year period has passed, the likelihood of that relationship lasting till death increases significantly. It's called 7 year ick.

Wtf pay attention it's not "10th July". It is very clear what anon wrote and meant.

Are you autistic or smth?

They obviously meant the 7th of Oct.

The sad part is sometimes, it is your own voice calling you lazy while knowing full that you are depressed. Sometimes, it is more difficult to convince yourself that you need help more than convincing others

Really? You want an annoying disease to be named after you? Like "fuck me i got the stoy today"

What an anti-semite, she literally came in front of the bullet and then died to make israel look bad.
