So I read up on it again very briefly because that was ages ago but: The story goes in 2017 he paid an Israeli on Fiverr to dress as Jesus and hold a sign declaring that Hitler did nothing wrong. I have not seen the video so I don’t know for sure, but apparently he wanted to show how far you can take things with Fiverr without any resistance from Freelancers.

I think he did something very wrong to shock his audience for clicks similar to Logan Paul’s disgusting Suicide Forest stunt around that same time and he got a ton of criticism for it. I don’t know what happened afterwards because I’m really not in that bubble but I don’t think a video likes this makes someone a Nazi and the comment above is a bit of a Fediverse knee-jerk reaction to this kind of stuff. I understand why people would still despise him for that though.

I‘m testing watching less Youtube and by „testing“ I mean the platform is literally slowly pushing me away. Everything about it just gets progressively worse.

And it’s easy to figure out why or at least I believe it is.

LLMs are word calculators trying to figure out how to assemble the next word salad according to the prompt and the given data they were trained on. And that’s the thing. Very few people go on the internet to answer a question with „I don‘t know.“ (Unless you look at Amazon Q&A sections)

My guess is they act all knowingly because of how interactions work on the internet. Plus they can‘t tell fact from fiction to begin with and would just randomly say they don‘t know if you tried to train them on that I guess.

And China a surveillance state. This was a given.

The overlap between climate crisis deniers and preppers is so large it‘s truly baffling. If you ask me most of them are just hobbyists who act a little too seriously about their little passion. It‘s a lot of make believe and very little obtaining practical skills.

Is that the same for all countries though or are you talking about a specific place where that‘s the case? I don‘t know much about the subject but this reads like one of those US specific fun facts that the rest of us can‘t really make use of.

Alright. I think I’ve had enough Lemmy for today. Don‘t wanna get too depressed before lunch.

To sadly no surprise to anyone who vaguely follows Austrian politics. Germany is troubled for sure but our southern neighbors are beyond help. I‘ve seen more and more criticism for Germany‘s guilt culture but Austria is what happens if you don‘t reflect on your 3rd Reich past at all.

Amen to that. Decoupling was all the rage mere months ago and now some people act like China is some sort of savior. That couldn‘t be further from the truth as they have already proven to be unreliable and at times unpredictable.

As far as I know „made in Europe“ where it‘s feasible long term and divertifying other supply chains was the goal and I don‘t see how anything that‘s happening right now would give reason to change course. It will take a little longer, but that‘s no reason to throw the towel.

Interesting political maneuver since the EU already is on track of decoupling from China. It‘s important we do it on our own terms so I‘m not against this. That being said the thumbnail seems very misleading or at least I hope so.

It‘s what this headline wants you to feel but it doesn‘t mean that much if you actually think about it for a moment.

About a election in 4 years? Not really. At least not yet. This isn‘t news worthy in my opinion because it doesn‘t tell you anything about what the country will look like in 4 years.

For what‘s worth it doesn‘t actually matter what potential voters would vote for each and every week when the next election is almost 4 years away. If anything, bold headlines like these only act as a self fulfilling prophecy and are blatant populism. Even a good government can‘t be super popular every single week and the sooner people realize that, the better for democracy. Though I won‘t hold my breath.

They shocked the world with GPT 3 and cling to that initial success ever since with increasing recklessness and declining results. It‘s all glue on pizza from here.

I would be a lot more motivated if I could use my salary to build something for myself rather than just get by.

A lot of posts here lately are kind of silly ideas that China tries to sell as the next big thing because it‘s cyberpunk. We should be more cautious about these stories.

Jesus F. Christ the BS that gets posted and upvoted in this community is getting more ridiculously Chinese propagandist by the day. Freaking air taxis? Really? Germany has like a dozen of those dumpster fire startups that chew up subsidies like it‘s no tomorrow (because for them there really isn‘t).

It‘s likely BS anyway. Maybe it’s just me but reading about another crazy breakthrough from China every single day during this trade war smells fishy. Because I‘ve seen the exact same propaganda strategy during the pandemic when relations between China and the rest of the world weren‘t exactly the best. A lot of those headlines coming from there are just claims about flashy topics with very little substance or second guessing. And the papers releasing the stories aren‘t exactly the most renowned either.

A welcome mandate, especially for electronics. However people are already throwing away so much perfectly fine furniture that I don‘t think it will help much in that regard. A lot of people want something new, not something that just works.

That horror scenario has been floating around since the announcement of the murderous tin can. And let me just tell you despite everything I am glad there hasn‘t been a serious attempt at remaking this classic in this timeline thus far.
