During the US Presidential election: Yes

Now? Not at all.

IMO, they thought they were helping keep the narrative about Kamala positive (and before her, they censored criticism of a man so clearly demented and being shoved down people’s throats that it was laughable) but in reality they were just enraging their allies, making them into lifelong enemies. You can never come back from giving up your integrity and dignity to genocidal corporatist demagogues no matter how bad Trump is.

Maybe Coppola could have also invested some of that money toward honest people to tell him the truth about how fucking hokey and laughable what he was doing would OBJECTIVELY be seen as.

Greed stems from fear if you really stop to think about it.

Those rules actually seemed pretty reasonable to me. Shitty, obvious uses of AI will obviously not win Oscars.

Ahh the great hivemind pendulum where if something is hyped and has some notable cons, it’s time to throw it away completely and resist it without prejudice.

This is happening with crypto too. To me, it just signals that a person is highly receptive to adopting whatever the hivemind tells them to think without question.

Obviously crypto and AI have some properties that make them utterly horrible (especially in the hands of bad people). But they also have some properties that have the capability to revolutionize or accomplish certain things like no other technology can.

No one seems to acknowledge this dichotomy when they’re unflinchingly under the influence of the hivemind. For example, I’m 100% positive that this comment will get downvoted heavily pretty sure I’d be ratioed for saying this on Mastodon.

Utterly backwards.

This thinking actually leads to Elon Musk worship and the dehumanization (and eventual massacre) of poor people.

This is what the most depraved sociopaths believe. They constantly repeat this lie to themselves to excuse themselves for utterly monstrous deeds.

Almost every horrific thing that humans engage in stems from fear.

Maybe he should try not making the most boring spy film I’ve ever seen. I’m not hard to impress either. I enjoyed “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy” and tend to love the spy genre by default. So I was excited to see this but HIGHLY disappointed with it. It was boring at best.
