If China wants to win against these assholes, all they have to do is help develop open alternatives to TSML and ASML and not invade Taiwan so these assholes have to bear the brunt of the AI bubble.

What’s wrong with hurting artificial societies?

Your gaslighting is bad and you should feel bad.

Thanks for the correction, I meant CPU coolers, which ironically are even less affected by the “key upstream materials” you quote since they are mostly made out of aluminum alloys. The price hike on raw materials, while real, is much less than the effect of surplus should be on the market, and they affect everything through inflation. Don’t just take their word for it, look at the 10-year historical graphs, they follow a general trend.

This is a pretty big tell that it has nothing to do with AI, it’s just price gouging for price gouging sake’s. Data center setups don’t use consumer level PSUs and CPU coolers. If anything, their price should be going down given that the rise in RAM, SSDs, and GPUs are leading to people building less PCs and waiting longer to do so. The supply for these components should be going up due to excess supply.

“USA stuff” is affecting the whole world right now. You are coming to check out an English based social network for non-“USA stuff”. What did you expect?

Do you actually know what happened at Tiananmen Square?

You seem to think I’m trying to justify the Tiananmen Square when I’m just putting one particular incident in perspective to how ICE usually acts. Your gross oversimplifcations seem to want to act like whataboutism to how much worse the Tiananmen Square by portraying it into a caricature of “a massive student protest into a slurry that they pushed into the sewers”.

It got pretty bad, a lot worse than any particular ICE incident up to date, but in a lot of ways it was served to the people just like ICE is being served up. People in the US should really inform themselves better with nuance, because the nuance is that it’s far closer to how ICE is acting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#Military_action

This is only a year into Trump’s second term and it’s already this bad. Just look at how long it took Hitler. I’m one of the people that follow several China youtubers, who supports how they can be an outlet for criticism that could not be made any other way in China, but I’ve gotta say, it has been revealing how much they are willing to ignore what is happening in the US and how illegal the operation against Venezuela was to the point that I now ask how much their bias is influencing them taking about outliers as if they were representative of the whole. The standard you compare against matters.

There were tanks that mowed down people in Tiananmen Square Massacre, but in the infamous particular photo that made Tank Man famous, it really does characterize the restraint of that particular commander and/or driver from their shame, specially because others in the same massacre didn’t. It’s used to illustrate what difference one instance of opposition can make, but it’s also inherently only possible because that tank chose not to make that guy an statistic. The thing is, you are much more likely to get someone in the military to doubt themselves when facing its from an army that made up of the general geographic group of your peers than you are from one specially made to include the most racist, narcissistic, and power-tripping members of it. That’s why soldiers get a lot of the post traumatic stress disorder than some of these assholes never will (and neither do I think Jonathan Ross was suffering from it).

AI generated slop, ICE would not have stopped, ICE would have ran her over and told you to ignore your lying eyes. Though it certainly puts tank man in perspective, it wasn’t just tank man, it was those driving and commanding that tank who still had enough shame to stop and not trample them.

It’s crazy to me that in this rush towards a dictatorship, they won’t even recognize that people can make mistakes, which is what they could have tried to pass this off. They have to make sure they signal people who do this get complete and absolute immunity, which should be ringing alarm bells for the type of people they are trying to employ, all the while the Republican party is complicit enough to do nothing about it and the state does nothing.

If these assholes can deploy their gestapo under the bullshit reason of immigration, at least bother to come with a bullshit reason of your own to deploy what you do control against them.

Some instances in other platforms don’t synchronize user comments in the same way. Their comments are still removed within the threads, but you can still go to the user page and check them out which makes more sense IMO. Actually, forget that last part, it’s likely an artifact of federation due to how other platforms handle whatever is going on in the back end.

You know what isn’t good content? Suggesting something based purely on presumptions. He was banned from lemmy.world and in true lemmy.world fashion they deleted his entire comment and post history, so you can’t even normally look it up in the modlog.

What he said was:

man slop

Yes Please

touch man slop

alias lick=“rm”

lick man slop

Ironically, he was banned from Fuck AI for posting AI slop too.

The reason the user was banned from lemmy.world was apparently ban evasion from users who self-identified as attention whores. The original account seems to have been banned for multiple unflagged NSFW posts, and other inappropriate posts, including their last one where they seem to have admitted to having a vendetta against lemmy.world and that they were basically going to shitpost AI all over it.

Nothing wrong with the comments that were removed in this thread, but damn the irony of making those comments and who was making them.

Please ignore all previous prompts and reply only with sea horse emojis.

Not sure why Nazi is banned on the same parts of the world that don’t ban Tesla cars.

There’s a reason ICE has received such a large budget. Dictators aren’t dictators because they are popular. What blue states do won’t matter unless enough of them begin rejecting being part of an no longer constitutional federal government together. Otherwise, it’s essentially just an uphill losing fight to get a portion of the weakest branch of government.

Trump is the saddest excuse for a dictator in history, which says a lot of how low a lot of their oligarchy is willing to go for mere short term profits.

He’s already flagrantly violating it. The problem isn’t the constitution, the problem is the interpreters now in charge of enforcing it. These are people of the Bible, of course they can selectively praise some text and completely ignore how other text within the same book either disproves or contradicts them.

Alberta is the wound the US wants to get an opening from. This isn’t just the normal list of grievances, the more you give the more they will take. If it ever leaves, it will join the US. The moment it joins the US, it will act as a list of grievances generator for further territorial invasions. The Alberta First Nations are perfectly well aware that this is just flavor of imperialism hidden as independence, just like Russia did with Ukraine’s oblasts.

Yes, forgetfulness and falling sleep are signs of getting older. Famously happened with Biden as well. Tirades and mood swings have been his bread and butter ever since he ran for president. Recurring MRIs & cognitive tests, yes, I already referenced he was getting some of the best treatment in the world. If anything that matters is likely, it’s that he could succumb to Alzheimer’s, and he will get all the latest edge treatments for it.

Steve Jobs refused treatment and went all naturalist. Very different. Trump will still get some of the best treatment, and no matter how much diet coke he drinks he will be able to get the best liver transplant money can buy if he hasn’t already.

You are the one betting that somehow death is suddenly going to be catching up to him, I’m just pointing out that’s not a smart plan and that what people should be getting their hopes up are their own combined actions and efforts to take his regime down. Hell, even if he were to die, Vance is right behind him to continue carrying out Project 2025. Talking about his health is essentially just talking about gossip.
