Enough Musk Spam

For those that have had enough of the Elon Musk worship online.

No flaming, baiting, etc. This community is intended for those opposed to the influx of Elon Musk-related advertising online. Coming here to defend Musk or his companies will not get you banned, but it likely will result in downvotes. Please use the reporting feature if you see a rule violation.

Opinions from all sides of the political spectrum are welcome here. However, we kindly ask that off-topic political discussion be kept to a minimum, so as to focus on the goal of this sub. This community is minimally moderated, so discussion and the power of upvotes/downvotes are allowed, provided lemmy.world rules are not broken.

Post links to instances of obvious Elon Musk fanboy brigading in default subreddits, lemmy/kbin communities/instances, astroturfing from Tesla/SpaceX/etc., or any articles critical of Musk, his ideas, unrealistic promises and timelines, or the working conditions at his companies.

Tesla-specific discussion can be posted here as well as our sister community /c/RealTesla.

Do you not understand how ingesting enormous amounts of civilian data can lead to voter suppression?

No - I don't. And neither do you. You just told me that "you can" but not "how". It's more handwaving. Exactly what would you do with all the information you have about me?

I can target blue areas and block parts of the city off with cops to make it harder to get to the polls.

Friend you can do that now without AI. You can declare a police state to block all voting. AI is not magic.

Go ahead and ask any question about me and tell me how you would stop me from voting with the answer.

You clearly dont understand the magnitude of the data that was captured. Its not 1 or 2 data points on you, its every data point ever collected on you. Humans cannot sift through that in a timely manner. Thats probably mostly what the AI is for, parsing the extreme data. They dont need an AI to send cops to block off your street that is true, but they do need AI to go through every point of data and figure out exactly who is voting against them.
