EEU social democracy is dying quickly too. It did not work. There is no left. Ever since the Reagan and the fall of the USSR and the “third way”, the so called left does not believe in anything any more. Only power for themselves and taking certain positions to get elected.
History is full of examples of democratic socialists getting slaughtered, literally. The US is responsible for much of it. The plutocrats are definitely going to try to kill them or put them in camps.
God dammit, she’s not just fucking talented, she’s talented.
Really how else can you explain him not seeing a cyclist. Where was he looking instead of the road?
I don’t doubt it was not deliberate, but if you drive you’re responsible for avoiding even the danger of endangering others.
Besides facing some actual punishment he should loose his drivers license for life. How can the let him drive again if he can’t explain how he didn’t see a cyclist on the road? That is actually the bigger issue for me here.
Yes it is dark:
This is intended to handle the increase of calls that are related to one incident, so callers get automatically routed to an AI agent who asks if they are calling regarding the incident. If the answer is yes, then callers can receive information or updates, and if it’s no, then the callers are transferred to a human.
This combats multitudes of calls piling up and taking longer time to potentially answer an emergency call. The OPCD said the AI will not be used to handle emergency calls, only to direct such calls to a human dispatcher.
Basically they are testing this to see if they can handle multiple callers to keep the lines and operators open for new emergencies. They are testing and not being irresponsible.
What is dark about this is that nobody even read the fucking article but jumps to conclusion on the fucking clickbait headline. We are becoming a global civilization of programmed morons where you only have to hit the right trigger word and everyone goes stupid.
Technically correct and relevant are not the same thing.
It doesn’t matter what it originally was. Now it’s ragebait.
They are not influenced by culture or religion. Correct?
No
Right, it should work great for anything you need to copy paste and want more compact on the screen, or for urls too. Even for checksums.
Apparently what I’m writing here is very easy to misunderstand. Obviously what I meant is what parents wish for their children - and it’s not sex work to pay the bills.
It is fundamental human nature and psychology to see sex and sex work as something not mundane. It carries special consequences and emotions and meaning. This has nothing to do with culture or religion and I very much doubt it can be changed through culture. Nor should it it be changed because of some “principle” you think is more important. It’s baked into us through millions of years of evolution and sexual selection. You could even call it one of the fundamental forces of life. A social forces that shaped every part of our culture, stories, politics.
I’m all for decriminalizing sex work and respecting people, but most sex workers would prefer to work in other fields if it wasn’t so profitable or they weren’t so desperate. Money is power and if you pay someone to do something it can be a form of coercion.
Personally I see being able to generate pornography and eventually replace sex work through artificial means as a fundamental advance in humanity’s ethical evolution. Similar to artificial meat and an end to slaughtering animals to eat them. A base desire that we can replace through technological means.
Yes, promotional mascots. Also maybe portable toilet cleaners. Roadkill collector? Crime scene cleaners? Broadcaster definitely. Restroom attendant also.
But seriously, do you think this is a controversial view? Do you think parents want (EDIT: their adult) children or friends to have to do sex work? Would anybody go “oh wow I’m so proud of you”? I do not think so. So lowering the demand and therefor supply pressure is overall a societal good.
I guess it was also the fault of the Allies that Germany attacked Poland in 1939?
And what would that have to do with the situation in Ukraine?
I guess it’s also Russia’s fault that the USA attacked and invaded Iraq and Afghanistan in 2001 and 2003?
You honestly don’t believe that there are sex workers who are relying on their job for a paycheck? Why?
No human should have to do sex work …
Ukraine is not part of NATO, so what does that mean? And even if Ukraine joined, is Ukraine not a sovereign country that can decide this themselves? Calling that warmongering is what makes this whole take disingenuous and pro Russia, because it only serves Russian fascism and imperialism.
It was very much trying to be and passed laws to make it a goal of their foreign policy. And they very much are associated with NATO today, otherwise they would never have held out so long.
And sure, they can decide for themselves, and we should have said “Are you mental, Russia is an evil regime that will start a war about this! Why would we want you in our military alliance and provoke war? Did you forget what happened in Georgia?” Instead Stoltenberg said “Sure, why not!”.
The morality of Russia doesn’t even enter into this calculus. If you deliberately ignore the consequence that result in war, while there are other alternatives like not doing a regime change and letting Ukraine stay neutral, how is it not warmongering?
And suppressing this very basic logic and the historical facts and calling it “Russian propaganda” makes any diplomatic solution impossible and endless war inevitable. That is also warmongering.
2019, 5 years later. But the facts about the funding and NED operations remain the facts. The organizer of the Maidan protests did receive funding and training from the CIA/NED. This does not erase what happened, or how it happened.
Further, the near 50/50 split is very much divided between east and west Ukraine, with the east being more Russian language speaking and aligned. There was serious resistance to this “realignment”. And even western media reported about the nazi problem and violence coming from far right mobs.
Did Russia meddle, contribute to the civil war and illegally invade? Yeah. But this one sided narrative about the history, and the characterization of Russia as some comically evil nazi regime is just nonsense. The CIA/NED openly bragged about their operation that ended with this war.
Again, I’m not pro Russia. But I do understand they have legitimate security concerns. And expanding NATO to Ukraine was warmongering. Because you do not need to be pro Russia to say “If you do X, this actor will react with Y which is very bad. So do not do X”.
Well, lol. Theoretically with VR headsets and cyberdildonics like automatic fleshlights / masturbators it could come pretty close with the current technology. The kind of looks and environment and dirty talk you want. Obviously it would still be limited.
So AI generated VR porn with cyberdildonics actually could make much of sex work redundant. Theoretically this is a good thing. No human should have to do sex work or porn or onlyfans just for money to survive, if they don’t genuinely enjoy doing it. (EDIT)
China already regulated this so that AI chat bots must not create addiction. It’s probably a wise course to follow lol.
This isn’t Russian propaganda. These are all facts you can read up on from western sources. See this for the sources you can follow up yourself.
Just because you call something Russian propaganda or because Russia said it doesn’t invalidate an argument or fact. This is called a “genetic fallacy”. The US did have a leading role in the regime change in Ukraine and who got into power. The US has done regime change and coups a lot of time in the last 70 years, and they said they are working towards regime change in Ukraine before it happened, they funded the movement and applied pressure.
If you deny the historical facts then you are playing right into the hands of the warmongers like OP. All they have to keep saying is that Russia is an evil Nazi regime and a clear and present danger and that any opposition to more militarism in Europe is traitorous.
If Russia was indeed such a grave danger, they would be right too. Turn Europe’s economy into a war economy, start conscription, start a Manhattan project to intercept nuclear warheads and build a billion killer drones to conquer Russia. So your position isn’t even consistent. Because it’s double think. Russia is at the same time weak and has a smaller economy than Italy, has human wave tactics that cannot work, is on the brink of collapse for years now, and at the same time is incredibly dangerous genocidal nazi state that must be stopped at all cost.
The cost being the truth and our social democratic policies.
It’s very pretty and a worthwhile attempt, but personally I think it’s rather unreadable lol. All you need is four circles for the four major groups that defederate.
I mean most of the influencer bullshit is artificial engagement anyway. People playing a role to entertain, gain attention, make money. If you look at porn comments, they are all dumb so it wouldn’t surprise me that the boomers leaving comments are similarly dumb “roleplaying”, knowing that this is just a fantasy sharing between gooners. They might simply not care if it’s real or not.
Personally I don’t get it, but whatever.
It’s called high speed hiring, works similar to high-speed trading.
