    poorly placed em-dash

    that’s not x, that’s y

    mic drop final sentence in its own paragraph

    I’m not saying it’s AI, but I am saying that I hope Sam Altman gets cancer for making me question virtually every string of text I see

        AI doesn’t make you seem like a bot. Honestly, you’re a bit mixed up there.

        The internet is packed with arrogant idiots who can’t actually detect AI written content anywhere close to as well as they have deluded themselves into thinking – they are the problem in this context.

        AI was trained on the content people like you and I have been writing and posting on the internet for decades. It is AI that writes like us and uses our style, not the other way around.

        I feel like I was the training data. It feels like a violation of my rights. A lot of AI writing is reminiscent of my sentence structure, diction, and vocabulary. I’m sure I am not alone, but it is nice to see you echoing my sentiments.

        I also use em-dashes on occasion, but I use them right. I can’t define how I use them, nor can I conjure up any reasonable uses for one in this comment, but you can tell when it should be there and when it shouldn’t. Like, an AI would have replaced the second comma in that sentence with one

      If there’s one benefit to the rise of AI slop, it’ll be pushing people away from mass social media and back to IRL meetups where you can mostly guarantee you’re talking to a real person.

          They don’t need to notice to change. Unpleasant or uninteresting experiences can lead to them frequenting these places less until they just don’t anymore. A big part of subscription services’ profit comes from these changes being made so unconsciously that people forget to cancel.

          I’m not a boomer or stranger to technology and i don’t notice most modern AI creations, unless really looking for the telltale signs in the almost invisible details and even those are getting harder to spot.

          Random ass tweet or picture doesn’t deserve that time and attention to look for those details to determine whatever it’s AI or man made, it’s still data garbage.

      Good luck. Dems are complicit playing good cop while the Republicans are bad cop in the service of oligarchs.

      Primary the corporate Democrats with progressives. If that fails, only then a revolution will truly break the shackles of corrupt oligarchy.

        Dems haven’t had more than 48 senators in over 13 years, a SCOTUS majority since 1943 at which point they were a completely different party so basically never. Things are bad now because Dems have not been given the power to stop it, because bad actors are out there spreading lies that they’re just as bad.

            This is the current party platform: LINK

            If you want to tax the rich, remove money from politics, protect democracy and the constitution, stand against slave labour, etc then you need to vote DNC. It’s really that simple.

            Decades of vote records are available online to show these really are their stances, and that the GOP opposes every one of these things.

              The point is Dems say things but backtrack for reasons to cover their asses.

              Seriously, Americans are brainwashed by corporate media. Nobody would conveniently say to primary corporate Democrats with progressives. Because let’s face it, those who don’t are blue MAGA and benefit from corporate greed, because they own company stocks or they don’t want their property value to go down. Electing progressives would be bad for their investments, and would rather see democracy wither instead of their stock’s or that of their properties.

      Making it a crime to fail to vote would end the Republicans permanently. Even if every ballot option had a none of the above. I think it should be mandatory. Also, if none of the above beats all of the candidates, none of them are allowed to run again for any office.

    The insider trading has been out of control for a long time, but this shit with Trump and truth social posts is as blatant as can be. Of course absolutely nothing will happen to these people as they now ‘have money’ and are immune to the “justice” system. I don’t think I’ll ever see things moving in the right direction in my lifetime.

    Yeah well donald trump jr is an “advisor” for Polymarket so I suppose he’s got a lot of things he can win bets on. Not to mention Kushner who’s close to both benji and mbs (and djt sr and djt jr). They’re all in this scheme together. And the ones who can stop them (GOP senators) aren’t stopping them so there’s no oversight to whatever corruption they may attempt.

          What is wrong with America as a country runs far deeper than its government.

          American culture is rotten to its core and always has been. That’s why the only good that has ever come from it has been, as stated before, from the developments of counter-culture movements that were born explicitly to oppose it.

          Just because I was born in America doesn’t mean I have to identify with it and because I don’t let that arbitrary identity blind my judgement of this country I can see it for what it really is.

      They’re on their decadent high or perhaps just over their peak before the real downfall. They could have been better, but that house of cards is collapsing so it’s take what you can get before it gets worse. Awesome job Americans, you had one job not to not elect a conman to presidency and you failed twice. Kudos, I doubt many others would fuck up that poorly. Hats off, flamboyant bow they made evident what was thought impossible, bring down the US through stupidity. Bravo.

        This is despite Pelosi rarely having the best stock picks.
