For the record, I’m not saying I agree with their methods, but I don’t think it’s fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

How does that help?

We’re talking about it

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user’s home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to “trust” bans by admins from other instances.

Here’s one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795 I always see them popping up under [email protected]

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with “buy online drugs here” links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they’re being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It’s a difficult problem to solve.

and in a stunning failure of corporate communication

This is my main takeaway from this situation. Seems like the casino knew it was getting a deal too good to be true and CF went straight to strong arm tactics instead of inviting the other side to the table to discuss the issue and find a way forward that’s good for both parties.

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of “Here’s an AI summary of search results”. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

I was thinking the same thing!

Which I think bolsters the argument for anti-doomerism (yes, I’m making that a word now).

wtf is poland going to do

Get invaded, going 3 for 3 in countries invaded during World Wars

Edit: I apparently struck a nerve. It was 100% a joke, similar to the classic “What’s Germany’s favorite pastime? Invading Poland”

Appreciate you posting the primary source for the article

I was thinking the same thing. Climate change won’t make them take action on fossil fuels, but fuck around with politics and now they have a “legitimate” reason to do something.

“say Chinese state media and commentators.”

No bias to be seen here

Isn’t this pretty much expected from them by now? They’re like that one neighborhood dog that has to bark at you the entire time you’re walking by their fence.

We really don’t tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

I just don’t trust tencent. They are to China like Facebook is to America in terms of casting large nets for data gathering. I agree Hasbro should let dnd go to a better care taker, but if it’s Tencent I don’t know if I’d be able to trust any official dnd software.

Luckily, dnd is well established as a physical medium, so the impact wouldn’t be too big, but the principal still stands
