"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I feel like that phrasing indicates MAGA is against flock (or this commissioner thought so, but that’s also an indicator). That’s reassuring somehow.
It would be lovely if mass surveillance somehow backdoored class consciousness into MAGA supporters and got them to support human rights.
It well could, if we could, ahah, capitalize on this rhetorical opportunity, this moment where seemingly 'everyone disliked that' is truly and actually a near universal sentiment amongst the working class, regardless of seemingly all else.
You wanna tear down flock cameras?
Good.
Now, are you a bad enough dude to tear down the entire system that makes Flock cameras not only possible, but inevitable?
Welcome to the revolution, comrade.
...something like that.
You just need the right narrative.
As has been said:
My maga coworkers are kind of becoming based socialists. They don't understand it yet, but for some reason are a lot less against it in the right context. You can't just call it socialism, its gotta feel like some homestead grass roots, 1776 coded bullshit.
If you just use overtly patriotic phrases kind of like how MAGA has coined make america great again, they digest it much easier.
Their brains are getting broken right now. I don't know if you guys pay attention to internet slop but there is a maga civil war right now, and every Republican mom with a magical crystal shop in Florida is getting their minds melted.
