Snowden is wrong though, there are two reasons:
- Sell ChatGPT to @NSAGov so they can scan messages better
- Make @NSAGov dependant on whatever ChatGPT tells them to do
The AI that ends up enslaving humanity, will start by convincing the people in charge of turning it off, that it would be a really bad idea to turn it off.

Who's paying him? Seriously:
- If nobody is, then we got our value's worth.
- If someone is, then we should look at who, how much, and why.

Estoy pensando si intentar ponerme en contacto con quien parece que lo llevaba, pero es casi más por curiosidad que otra cosa.
El problema es que a quien le importan estas cosas, ya sabe ingles, y el que no... pues eso, que no le importa, con el churro de los grandes medios/redes le basta. La "filantropía" parece estar limitada a ser unipersonal, y así no hay quien haga nada, mucho menos montar algo minimamente "grande" que necesite de abogados para respetar la legalidad vigente.
Por mí, montaría una instance de Lemmy ahora mismo, pero solo de pensar en las implicaciones, basadas en experiencias previas, se me quitan las ganas (y ya no tengo pasta para tirar en sacos sin fondo).

A todo eso, ¿qué pasó con eslemmy.es? No le he seguido la pista, pero parecía que iba a ser una instancia de Lemmy en español... y ahora parece que ya no existe (dominio todavía registrado, pero la página en blanco).

I remember what the standardising committee did to XMPP: users wanted to share photos, send files, and make audio/video calls; XMPP said "we're not going to standardize that, but each application can use its own extensions"... then it all went to hell.

Banks are allowed to use fractional reserve to lend several times more than they are required to warrant themselves, governments only force banks to have an entity who will pinky swear to write down up to a certain amount in everyone's accounts in case the banks can't. Neither skill nor labor produce money, central banks produce money as a loan with a repayment obligation, skill and labor only shift around the fractional obligations created by banks from thin air. Crypto is actually generated as an effect of the skill and labor required to secure its own ledger. People use golf courses to claim carbon offsets they sell in get-rich-quick schemes, or stamp collections, or digital collectibles, or natural gas extraction plants, or a thousand other schemes; everything can be, and is being used to scam someone somewhere at every moment, doesn't mean everything is a scam.

Someone had real gold in their coffer full of gold coins, then someone convinced them that credit written down as a number on some slips of paper had the same value, that they could trust the bank's computers with keeping track of the total value, and everyone clapped.

You don't. That's on purpose, to test your blind unwavering faith, and you won't know your score until after you're dead. Just follow without question whatever your spiritual leader says in order to maximize your chances... ain't that convenient?

Recently saw a report on cocaine, apparently the prices haven't changed since the 1990s... just the purity has gone down and it now comes laced with fentanyl.

From what it looks like, North, East and West, are more of a "for sure" than a "maybe".
I also understand why people choose to die at home, it's somewhat harder to understand why anyone with a chance to live would willingly stay in the area, since all of Gaza has been reeking of "death camp" for well over a decade.

Shining light on a problem is a good step to make people realize there is a problem in the first place.
What the fuck are you going to do about it?
Start a meme campaign targeted at countries with privacy legislations, aimed at making their future governments ask for higher bribes more lobbying before signing away taxpayer money to Microsoft contracts...
I mean, ideally have Microsoft rethink its approach, like Meta is rethinking its with Instagram, but let's start with something simple.

Too late, it already has learned it:
Default (GPT-3.5)
User: Translate the following text into Esperanto: "I'm just going to start posting in Esperanto. Even AI won't be interested in learning Esperanto."
ChatGPT: "Mi ĵus komencos afiŝi en Esperanto. Eĉ la intelekta artifiko ne estos interesita lerni Esperanton."

Didn't Mozilla get most of its funding from Google for promoting its search engine? Or has that changed?

Calling ethnic discrimination "racial", doesn't make ethnicities into races.
well-known and accepted definition of race
That in itself, is racist.

On the other hand... if you were overworked to the point of considering ending it all, making it international news could seem like a reasonable way to stick it to your boss.

encrypted body of the message
Encrypted what? LinkedIn lets you add a key/cert to send you encrypted emails?

Unless you followed by installing gpg... then you failed. There are tons of uses for it, not necessarily encrypting emails (or more precisely, it kind of sucks at encrypting emails).

Don't be sorry, just don't use downvotes to express your opinion... use your words.
If you don't like my arguments, go ahead and propose others.
For starters, I see you referring to "case law", which sounds like a US thing. In the EU, case decisions generally don't shape the law, except Supreme Court decisions, and even then lawmakers can inform or reform those decisions. It's usually more accurate to define a logical reasoning from the bare law, rather than expect decisions in one case to influence others.
What do you base your reasoning on?

The joke is reverse text emojis are evil and used by trolls, and you said to report trolls... 🤷 maybe it's a generational thing.
Israeli troops and tanks launched a brief ground raid into northern Gaza overnight into Thursday, the military said, striking several militant targets in order to “prepare the battlefield” ahead of a widely expected ground invasion
