Rudy Giuliani?

There is nothing holding them back to change their decision tomorrow or next week. there are no consumer rights or even citizen rights to their own data like the EU developed in the last 10 years. There is no leash on companies to pause or continue this behavior anytime the feel like it.

A real perpetrator will have a local LLM running like stable diffusion and will not need Midjourneys SAAS. Alone for opsec reasons will no adversary use a US hosted platform to create their propaganda. This will stop domestic jokers, but will not stop concerted foreign operations in any way.

Bought to you by:

• The 50's, where every utensil from car to ovens will have it's own nuclear reactor in the future
• The 60's, where Mankind soon will travel through starsystems and vacations on the moon are possible
• The 70's, where people thought that in a few years Neutron-Brains will be created that work just like the human brain
• The 80's, where it was said that in the year 2000 we will have flying cars and hoverboards
• The 90's, where the internet took off and soon nobody will ever send letters again
• The 00's, that soon self driving cars will take over all transport business
• The 10's, where a magical working all-knowing Siri/Alexa/Cortana voice will be the way people will interact with at home and on the go
• Now the 20's, where AI will be able to recreate talent and come up with genuine new ideas never before seen by mankind

I do not think AI can recreate talent or art. AI can imitate art and copy already existing art and melt it to something new. But an Artist-AI can not take two noses of coke, one bottle of vodka and come up with a novel new concept of creative work. Sure it will come up with things never seen before, but will it resonate with people or will it just be weird, quirky or empty? It is not enough to render an image of a diamond skull, you actually have to build it like Damien Hirst. Artist of the type of Banksy, Dali and Francis Bacon will not get replaced by AI. AI will not stand in the streets spraying walls, AI will not get off board off a ship in New York holding a human-long bread and AI will certainly not be able to draw triptychs of pain and suffering based on the death of his friend. AI will copy something that looks like it, but it will not have the "Talent" or the depth to make it believable and knit a story around it and know the people to communicate to. It most certainly will be used to subvert people on social media to vote against their interests and radicalize opinions. That is it's talent.

Me for the rest of the week:

Always has been meme

Vice Shoes dropping soon. You heard it here first!

Well, did you ever talked to someone about your political ideals and they were not the status quo? Well, in Russia you were already in trouble for your extremist ideas.

Well, that is sad and incontrovertible argument. I guess I should cherish it as long as I can.

How come every 3 weeks there is a news that nitter is now dead, and then I go to the Nitter Instance Health Monitor, pick a random instance, and am still able to surf tweets?

I dont get it. Is this wishfull thinking or do people not understand that instances other than nitter.net exist?

EDIT: I gotta admit, there is a lot of red in the last days. But it is not completely gone. Yet.
