People would go for it online, but in person, you still need a convincing public speaker. AI could write all their speeches though (and I'm people are on that!)

It will start to get wild when it’s attorneys, paralegals, accountants, actuaries, software developers, designers, journalists, engineers, medical technicians… what’s left after that? Physical labor, skilled mechanical labor, politics and religion?

Another classic kbin photo bomb. Is that Chris Christie?

Right… the technology conceivably has value as a way to digitally trade ownership and track authenticity. It just happens that it was used for a bunch of truly worthless algorithmically generated art that people got suckered into by hype.

Many agencies do that but it’s been established that the NSA simply takes data from companies of almost any size, domestic or foreign.

More like FBI or DEA. If the NSA wants it they just hack them.

People said the same thing recently when Tesla was required to do an OTA update in the US. The thing is that while they don’t have to physically work on each vehicle, it’s labeled a recall because it’s a regulatory action that compelled them to do it. Tesla didn’t decide to do these updates on their own - they were directed to do so by the government, first in the US and now in China.

There is no “ackshully” and he didn’t call anyone a liar. He just said a statement was incorrect.

Sometimes they even just repost something they found on the internet

Ah, right! The post is, amazingly, from today. Maybe even on 4chan posted by OP.

It kinds of works like shadow banning because defederation means one instance doesn't get updates from the defeded one... but the defeded one can still be federated with the one that defeded them, so users on that can still see and comment on posts, but they aren't displayed to people using the defeded instance. So they're just posting into the void. But people on their instance and I guess other instances can still see them of course.

I originally read it as just saying 'different instances' and not stating a number of different instances. But that's not the format 4chan uses for a quote reply (I don't remember, isn't there a number sign or something?) and that number would be way too large for a comment ID. So, yeah. I didn't consider that someone could actually go there and find the post since I think of 4chan as /b where it all disappears after 2 hours.
