dhork , in Trump tries to reset his campaign after brutal month

I read this as “brutal mouth” and it still made sense

asyncopation , in Nikki Haley in Taiwan says an isolationist policy is not healthy, while expressing support for Trump

This is just sad. It’s like a victim of dv who quickly corrects themselves when they say something their abuser doesn’t like.

oce , in Microsoft's Copilot falsely accuses court reporter of crimes he covered
@oce@jlai.lu avatar

Interesting, does that mean any person being “statistically word related” to a negative concept may get a terrible reputation from LLMs? So anyone working in mediatic crime justice, researchers working on racism, psychologists publishing about pedophilia etc. may suffer from the same thing.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Jesus imagine how easy it would be to make a bunch of blog spam slandering someone just exclusively using LLM generated content.

@oce@jlai.lu avatar

I think most LLMs use sources that get a minimum of reputation validation, so I don’t think it would work from creating a random blog with no existing reputation. You’d need to contaminate a source that already has a reputation. For example, by buying a news source and orienting it.

takeda ,

It’s already being used by disinformation bots.

some_guy ,

Yes, exactly. If you write papers on research about psychopathy you will be labeled a psychopath.

foggy , in California school district superintendent is terminated after rooftop desk prank, bullying allegations

I mean I’d be looking for a new job but my response to that shit would be like “cool, I’ll just go watch Netflix while you get everything back in order.”

Shout out to the Austin Public Library (and Austin as a whole) for continuously telling the Texas legislature to go fuck itself.

@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

Haley trying the Lindsey Graham approach to making her convictions as solid as water and just saying whatever is expedient for the moment.

… And oh look at that, both from SC.

Both Susan Rice and Samantha Power make her foreign policy experience look like a joke.

Jagothaciv , in Trump tries to reset his campaign after brutal month

His first rally back he spent his time lying about everything. He only told one truth. That was about how RFK talked badly about him and he didn’t like it. He spread more crime lies, immigration lies, and random ass lies. Then he lied about how he’s getting JFK files released and lied about how RFK ran a good campaign and people like him.

He’s gone to 100% lying shitbag ult.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I do like how he says he’s going to create a new presidential commission on assassination attempts because RFK likes him now.

dhork ,

Also because he wants to be the center of attention for everything, and this committee would apply to him specifically.

MagicShel ,

It probably makes me a bad person, but he didn’t die and I could give a fuck about the attempt or the commission.

Well it doesn’t seem to have made much of a difference.

silence7 OP ,

The Atlantic is basically a news magazine for wealthy households. Kind of bonkers to describe it as “center-left” unless you think that factual reporting makes something left of center.

catloaf ,

MBFC does think that, yes.

Ledivin ,

I think you just don’t recognize your own bias.

Allsides has them as pretty far left.

Adfontesmedia says they alternate between center and very left-biased articles.

MBFC is actually one of the more generous ones, saying center-left.

silence7 OP ,

They do sometimes publish, say, environmentalist-oriented articles.

They don’t ever publish stuff calling for a redistribution of power from capital to labor.

FlyingSquid , in Trump tries to reset his campaign after brutal month
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Does he? Or do his people just want him to? Because it seems like it’s the latter to me and that he couldn’t give less of a shit.

some_guy ,

Being incapable of doing a thing doesn’t mean you don’t care. Lots of drug addicts wish they could be sober. He’s an addict.

lettruthout ,

Probably, but it’s hard to feel empathy for someone who demonstrates none.

some_guy ,

I feel none for him. He’s a monster and an ass.

Thrillhouse , in Former University of Kentucky student pleads guilty to assault in racist attack captured on video

Good for the woman who was attacked to maintain composure. That must have been really hard. From the article:

Spring said she understood it was critical that she remained composed even while being attacked.

“I wanted to make sure I acted appropriately so that I could keep my job because the script could have been flipped at any time if I had retaliated,” Spring said

It’s so heartbreaking that the bolded part is systemic racism. Like she can’t defend herself because that terrible white woman would have pretended to be the victim? Fuck all of that and fuck that white girl.

snooggums ,
@snooggums@midwest.social avatar

Bullies successfully pretending to be the victim is extremely common, even more so when their targets are minorities.

Nougat ,

It’s systemic sexism, too.

Mouselemming ,

Also workerism. I mean the deference workers are supposed to show for customers, according to management. Based on the worship of money I guess

6 months probation??? What kind of world do we live in where such drastic punishments are forced upon such good people! Cruel and unusual!

Surely this poor man has suffered enough for trying to overthrow the government to install a fascist dictator!

FlyingSquid , in Microsoft's Copilot falsely accuses court reporter of crimes he covered
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

There are only two people with my name in the U.S. and the other person doesn’t have my middle name or even middle initial. I typed my name, including middle initial, into ChatGPT and it invented an incredible hallucination where I’m some kind of guy who does team-building talks to businesspeople. Which could not be further from the truth. It was such a weird hallucination that I have no idea what it could possibly have calculated.

sun_is_ra ,

Ask it where is your office and apply for a job there

FlyingSquid ,

I’m guessing it’s in Jerkoff, Arkanzona. Arkanzona: The Oatmeal State. Its state motto is, “You know you want me, baby!” Its state flower is peat moss and its state bird is the emu.

Your name cannot possibly be that unique

Believe what you like, I’m not telling you what it is.

The Holocaust greatly narrowed my family tree in terms of my last name.

Ahhh. Gotcha.

IphtashuFitz , in US delivery workers swelter in record heat – many without AC in their vans

I wonder how effective AC would be in many cases… I regularly see delivery vans from Amazon, UPS, USPS, etc. driving around with their doors open. In some cases it seems to be all about speeding up deliveries even by a few seconds, especially for Amazon drivers.

I suppose if they took breaks they could close up the truck and cool down, but that assumes they would have time for it…
