It’s not embarrassing to still be using any Meta product?
It’s like being worried because you recognized the guy in front of you at the checkout line at the dildo emporium as your priest…
It would be awkward if he turns around, but he’s got a shopping cart of dildos too, how is he gonna judge?
I cant tell if those are rhetorical questions because you’re upset…
Or if you genuinely don’t understand why the oligarchs are mad kids aren’t having babies…
They’re all gonna start claiming they have “too good to release” versions…
Because everything they release sucks.
But if they never let anyone not financially invested even see the “good one” then no one can say it’s actually shit.
It doesn’t matter if it works, it matters if it raises stock price. So eventually we’ll see them just not release it, it could only hurt the stock price.
Glory Road is begging for an adaption, even tho a bunch of other stories have ripped off the premise. Like, it’ll be a “new” story to you, but you’re going to constantly see shit that other writers ripped off in the 60 years since it was published.
It’s Heinlein pulp SciFi too, so you can legit read it all in a day.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glory_Road
If you like that and want more, he wrote a shit ton of novels about “Lazarus Long”. Like, true old school 1960s sci Fi where the books weren’t telling a single coherent story, he just had to keep pumping out pages so he kept coming up with new stories.
There’s also “Stranger in a Strange land” which was known as “The hippie bible” during the height of the counter-culture movement, despite being about a man raised by Martians who returns to Earth.
Just anything by Heinlein really
Let’s try again:
Having diabetes is the reason most people inject insulin.
Do you think that means:
Most people inject insulin.
Of the people who inject insulin, the most common reason for doing so is they have diabetes
…
That’s really how you took that?
He’s just ripping off the Brain Slug platform…
The age old question for every pro AI/crypto post on social media:
Did OP fall for a grift, or trying to grift others?
It’s always one of the two
Why would she accept money for that? It doesn’t make sense, she has enough money
At this juncture it’s become impossible for me to take these as serious questions/comments.
If you were being sincere, I hope someone else with more patience assists you.
Then she was paid to slap her name on it…
Another thing that’s not new.
Look at her GitHub account, this is the only thing it’s ever done, and she’s never, ever, talked about any sort of coding before as far as I’m aware.
It’s still an obvious grift/scam, regardless of if she’s involved.
Like, it’s clearly an add, what the fuck is she doing “extensive filing for months” for?
How does any of this seem organic to you?
Someone copied an existing repo as a scam/grift.
Often when they do this, they name it after a random celebrity.
In rare cases, this generates buzz and uninformed people spread it around the internet. Usually when it’s just a screenshot of a screenshot being passed around on social media.
I’d like to say most people are smart enough to realize all that, but it’s just doesn’t seem to be as true as it used to be.
Edit:
This is the crypto tech to who actually made it, and likely paid a celeb to create a GitHub account and post an Instagram ad:
Ben Sigman is an AI agent orchestrator, systems engineer, author, and Bitcoin advocate. He builds AI-powered products and agent systems, including XAVIOR — an AI operating system running 10 custom fine-tuned models — and the open source memory system mempalace.
He conceived and leads Libre, Bitcoin’s first decentralized two-way lending marketplace, and is the bestselling co-author of Bitcoin One Million, ranked #1 in Macroeconomics, Monetary Policy, and Bitcoin categories. He is also the co-creator of Bitcoin Alpha, the invite-only Bitcoin unconference series.
Ben designed the giant orange shark sculpture, “Apex Predator of Money” — a bold symbol proposed as Bitcoin’s new mascot as featured in Decrypt.
With over 20 years in technology, his work spans AI agents, Bitcoin, and open finance.
If these grifts aren’t obvious to someone, they desperately need to pay more attention.
It took like 2 seconds to get to the bottom of this.
Nope, this is natural.
Like, straight up default human behavior, and conservativesare actually really good at manipulating people using basic human psychology.
An absolute shit ton of people who grew up as “outsiders” really just want to be with the majority “in group” and are willing to side with them against smaller minorities.
Like, that’s the whole TERF thing in a nutshell.
Women who were treated poorly for being women, and trying to side with their abusers against a weaker target.
It’s literally the reason most mothers abuse their children. Same psychology, just different target.
Hell, it’s the same reason weak men target women and children in the first place
An innate desire for a “human pecking order” that displays at varying rates due to normal human variation.
Racism too, LBJ described it generations ago after seeing firsthand what Republicans were doing in the South:
If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you."

We need to understand why this keeps working to fight it…
He can’t control our future if we throw him in jail.
And people forget we can just do that, historically it would even go down as a merciful revolution. Just throw all the oligarchs and billionaires in jail, and take all their money and redistribute that.
They’ll say “that’s not legal” but who honestly gives a flying fuck at this point what’s legal? Let em sit in jail and repeat over and over “this isn’t fair” for the rest of their natural lives.
We can just do it shirt brothers, the oligarchs decided theres no more rules, so why do we let rules hold us back?
At this point it’s an inevitability that it’s gonna come to that point, it’s just how much we put up with before it.
Oh, Hello…
The most important step, is not to use too much tuna
I’d settle for the government prosecuting every false copyright claim as perjury
First you said every one…
Now you’re saying just some…
This isnt going to be productive, best of luck with your future endeavers. But I won’t be available to answer any other questions.
Kind of?
Like a thousand years ago in Italy the concept started.
A guy with a bunch of money, would give a guy with no money and a boat the funds to buy cargo and ship it.
If something bad happened the guy with the boat an no money was liable for the loss of cargo, and wouldn’t have the funds to pay, they’d just go bankrupt.
If nothing bad happened, the guy with no money paid back the investor plus profits.
Then it evolved into government enforced monopolies like “East India Trading Co”.
Which are more like modern corps, but less like what you’re talking about but I’m pretty sure that’s what you meant and not the earlier Italian corporations?
You say that because you’re not think of all the times corps beat a valid claim…
Meaning suing a corp now opens you up for criminal charges if you don’t win, and less people challenging thru court.
You might be better off asking if something would be a good idea, before thinking of something and immediately recommending it despite not thinking about how it would obviously backfire and end up fucking us over more.
Because YouTube’s copyright claim system operates without individual human review of each dispute
Bots telling bots that humans aren’t human…
There’s an easy solution to this:
Legislation that requires giant trillion dollar companies actually employ living breathing humans who can perform a task rather than automate it despite that not working and then just not caring.
And people are going to say that’s hard…
But all we need to do is pass a single law that says if AI fucks up, the CEO of the company is personally and financially liable because he’s the one that ultimately entrusted the task to AI.
Do that, and suddenly corps wouldn’t hand everything to AI as intentional incompetence.
If we don’t do it soon, corps will just blame AI for everything and declare no one is ever at fault
Because having AI hallucinate changes more than the resolution…
If you want to slop everything up before you post it…
Most people are going to downvote for too many various valid reasons to list out.
There’s a few militantly pro-AI instances, and they’ll van anyone that down votes you for any reason.
I suggest you go there, because they’re the most blocked places on the fediverse.
You can post slop to your heart’s content, and the few people who see it won’t have any problems with it
You get your safe place, no one else gets slop shoved down their throats.
Everyone wins.
I get what you’re saying, and it’s true, but “wine” is a horrible choice…
It can take five years for a vine to produce wine grapes. And even after they’re harvested, its a long process where lots can go wrong.
It wasn’t that people really thought no one could make better wine than France, it’s that no one else was consistently doing it yet. Everyone knew if Cali vineyards kept at it, they’d eventually level the playing field.
Most of the “outcry” about the result, was in France and made by the insanely wealthy people who owned the French vineyards
