After 10+ years of people fighting against it, this government is pushing through this dystopian CETA legislation.
Corporations can and will sue the state for interfering with their profits - for example increasing the minimum wage, against fracking bans, etc.
This is incredibly undemocratic.

pointing out that LLMs make shit up makes the people who use them feel stupid, and some of them would prefer to be lied to by an app that tells them they’re smart
So, when a critic says, “Ah hah! That app makes shit up!” A lot of people will nod politely. And then they will think to themselves, “Well, so does the newspaper, and so does Facebook, and so do politicians, and none of those help me do this task or say nice things to me when I ask them questions.”

Broke down three separate tweets from Elon Musk showing that his conception of "free speech" is incoherent beyond "I can say what I want, you must shut up."

Three Tweets That Capture The Entire Elon Musk Free Speech Con
We've spent years calling out what a hypocrite Elon Musk is on free speech. But sometimes the universe Elon hands you a gift: three tweets in the span of a little over a week that demonstrate the entire con more clearly than any deep dive ever could. Let’s start with this one: That’s Elon announcing that: Falsely labeling non-violent people as “fascist” or “Nazi” should be treated as incitement to murder…

Keep going everyone. Bullying works. No one wants this shit.
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.

Gonna be even more earnest than usual on main, but I wanted to share. Because I have a bunch of pain stuff I was in my thoughts about it, and I said to myself, “I have to show love to my body. My body is doing the best it can.” so if anybody needs this, it made me feel good to say that

I'm too old for the Twelve Pubs of Christmas and it's not just because drinking that amount of alcohol would make me hungover until 2047 (it would). It's because, at the age of 36, if I get a seat in a pub *in December* and you come over and tell me that we have to go somewhere else, it's over.

My personal grand unifying theory is developing into “when we were kids we all thought there was such a thing as normal or the centre and now we realise there really isn’t; as people realise this, you get at least two poles labelled “new thing is normal” and “no I hate new thing”.”

The state keeps placing responsibilities for state functions on families. Until more people the depths of this failure we'll get nowhere.
This. Is. NOT. Normal.
Parents are not a substitute for a mortgage provider. They are not a substitute for providing disability supports. They are not landlords.

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.
