It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

what? you are 14 and have a us history report due? ❌
I'm starting to wonder if this isn't deliberate in some sense. People actually learning about and supporting Palestine terrified the American establishment, if they're anti-imperialist, they're anti-US. So flooding the internet with completely and utterly wrong information, making it impossible for people to sift through it all and discover what is actually happening works as a kind of information blackout, without them needing to loudly censor everything and pretend they still have "free speech."
I too like to believe our overlords know what they are doing. Turns out capitalists are actually dumb and don't realize their profit-increasing measures are hurting themselves too until its too late. Selling themselves the rope
Yeah, as much as I'd like to think this is actually planned, far more likely some higher ups who need their assistant's help to check their email were wowed by a slick presentation about how AI is the future and saw how much money they could save automating things with AI without actually checking if it actually works or not.
I've seen this sort of grift "imagine how powerful this could be in the future" FOMO thing a lot before, but this is the first time I think I've seen so many major companies go all in on a technology that isn't proven and only has vague future benefits, not even offering basic competency at the moment. AI might end up being another massive .com bubble of the late 90s/early 2000s, people putting their whole business in the hands of technology that has yet to be proven and losing everything.
