According to whom? This was literally the example presented for this case and SCOTUS rules it was A-OK

Literally anything… Have his opponents assassinated, openly take bribes in exchange for killing regulations or selling pardons or us citizenship… Anything

Any, whatever he does, it would be valid an de would be immune

But realistically if you dont get yourself involved then you will be just fine

Unless you are a woman or a minority or disabled or poor or an immigrant or not Christian or …

Which magical country is this? Can I come?

I’m actually curious (kind of desperate for some good news nowadays). Not trying to make fun of you

And all for some drunken answers and a few new memes

It’s literally too late for that … Nothing short of a massive general strike against SCOTUS or less civilized nation wide riots will save the USA

You are right to be concerned. If this is not reversed soon and with a bang, the USA would either be in a civil war or start WWIII in the next 5 years

Those never matured

Kids care too deeply about the most shallow things

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.

As per the wikipedia definition, it does seem the USA has been fascist towards the rest of the world, just not towards its own citizens (overtly) until now…

So if we agree fascism can apply internationally but not domestically (which is not usually how the term is described) then the meme is accurate

We wish… the good/bad neighbour analogy is very apt here; whatever happens in the USA spills over here all the time.

We are about to enter our own Trump shit show when PP is elected next year.

For me personally, it was all about balance.

15 years ago, Gmail/Inbox was a great email client, the domain was great and popular (so no need to spell it out for people) and I would “pay” by getting ads based on my emails read by a bot.

Now Gmail is a terrible email client, the best updates are ridiculous things like moving buttons around and it takes Google years to roll out. The thing loses emails, mislabels and misclassifies stuff and the rules work for a week then blow up. On top of that, google is now basically a proctologist considering how far up my ass they want to go

The balance is broken… Google now officially sucks (IMO)

Think of it this way…

You take all your money and you have a lawyer form a charity (no tax) that you control. The charity rakes in even more money and all they make (via investment) is tax free (or practically so)

Meanwhile, since you are employed by that charity, it pays for your mansions, trips, fancy foods, vacations, yachts, whatever you want… Basically it is like having a rich daddy that buys everything for you and you never have to worry about money

Because it’s the only path left they have to attain power. They cannot win on merit, debate, ideas, track record, etc… it’s been like that for a while but now they are getting more and more desperate

These apps are so bad they have recorded people “hard braking” when they are home watching TV (just check the Play store for any of them and read the reviews)… there is no way this isn’t ripe for abuse

???

Dude we are misunderstanding each other here…

I am not defending AI at all… in fact, from your comment it seems we both hate it equally.

All I was saying is that they have already “shown” this magical scanning of fridge as a function already available… it turned out to be complete garbage and fake (as most of the AI over hype they have pumped) but they did. Please note I actually posted as “in what turned out to be one of the many AI scams”

Here is the vid where they “showed” how this is supposed to work and how it actually flops hilariously: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLvFc_24vSM

Going back to the original thread, my intention was to say that AI was promised as a way for anyone to be a programmer now. That is not me saying it, that is literally what was pumped out. To an extend, a very short extend, this is true. You can get a little script going or maybe even some heavy Excel spreadsheet manipulation with AI tools and not knowing any code. But that is the end of it.

What I have been able to confirm AI doing is about 30% of what is being promised out there… literally the “pro” vs “nailed it” discrepancy. I also agree with you in that this bit of AI that does work is not worth the harm we are doing to jobs, the environment, etc

So AI can magically see everything in your refrigerator, pantry, etc, right?

It was literally showcased in what turned out to be one of the many AI scams

It has also been demoed by others as well… so yes, AI powered devices can or are supposed to be able to “look” into your fridge

Because the average person out there could not make “just a program”… the promise of AI is that anyone can be a programmer now…

In reality, I would bet a full morning of prompting ChatGPT wouldn’t produce what the lady is asking for accurately
