Full time smug prick
What to watch: “Is it time to create a new political party in America that actually represents the 80% in the middle?” Musk asked in a poll of his millions of loyal X followers.
Um, in the …middle? What middle?
Middle like MAGA (who put nazis to shame)? Middle like the dark enlighment (a reactionary movement)? Middle like the AFD (the German neonazi party)?
I am fucking losing it rn, Elmo thinks he is a fucking Centrist. Now I have seen in all.
I am hijacking this thread to bring to your attention that Musk just admitted he rigged the election and the week is not even over yet.
Edit Yes, commentators, I stand by what I said. Axios would not frame it as “nuclear” if he merely meant he poured millions into the elections. His statement “Dems would control the House and the Republicans would be 51-49 in the Senate.” is oddly specific, isn’t it.
I’m going to bring it up.
Isn’t this the same asshole who posted the “Woke racist” meme as a response to Gemini generating images of Black SS officers? Of course we now know he was merely triggered by the suggestion because of his commitment to white supremacy and alignment with the SS ideals, which he could not stand to see, pun not intended, denigrated.
The Gemini ordeal was itself a result of a system prompt; a half-ass attempt to correct for white bias deeply learned by the algorithm, just a few short years after Google ousted their AI ethics researcher for bringing this type of stuff up.
Few were the outlets that did not lend credence to the “outrage” about “diversity bias” bullshit and actually covered that deep learning algorithms are indeed sexist and racist.
Now this nazi piece of shit goes ahead and does the exact same thing; he tweaks a system prompt causing the bot to bring up the self-serving and racially charged topic of apartheid racists being purportedly persecuted. He does the vary same thing he said was “uncivilizational”, the same concept he brought up just before he performed the two back-to-back Sieg Heil salutes during Trump’s inauguration.
He was clearly not concerned about historical accuracy, not the superficial attempt to brown-wash the horrible past of racism which translates to modern algorithms’ bias. His concern was clearly the representation of people of color, and the very ideal of diversity, so he effectively went on and implemented his supremacist seething into a brutal, misanthropic policy with his interference in the election and involvement in the criminal, fascist operation also known as DOGE.
Is there anyone at this point that is still sitting on the fence about Musk’s intellectual dishonesty and deeply held supremacist convictions? Quickest way to discover nazis nowadays really: (thinks that Musk is a misunderstood genius and the nazi shit is all fake).
Oh you big snowflake, you might not originate from the specific region of Bavaria, but you are a eugenicist, transphobe, technofascist, great replacement theory subscriber, who thinks that Western civilization is in danger because of brown trans people, and use your corporatist power to back an extreme neoliberal government of racists and Christian nationalists, who want to replace the rule of law with institutionalized white supremacy. “Nazi” does not even begin to describe the kind of heinous dumb fuck you are, but fear not: you will have lots of opportunities to catch up on history classes in the re-education camp pal.

I personally cite Jordan Peterson as a red-flag interest for new people I meet, but that’s just me.
The. Burn.
The fact that while many look to flee the US fearing a Holocaust, and this guy is yet another fossil-fuel backed right-wing anti-trans manosphere guru touring the world whining about his free speech getting cancelled.
“We did not feel rewarded at the end of the Hackathon,” said Xun. “Because we tested it so much, we were both so diseased from vaping.”
Actually resistance in concentration camps is an untold saga. The most famous example is the inverse “B” in “Arbeit Macht Frei”, but there where more examples, and less subtle too, like full blown antifascist banners in barracks, even sabotage and espionage in the gas chambers. Never give up!
I declared an internal data breach, submitted it to the fed—as you legally must in this country—and shit hit the fan for that department.
You are a legend
Is it like…an app?
Restoring Meritocracy since 1998 give or take.
Some were vigilant enough to note that a group of Nazis chanting “Lügenpresse” at a Trump rally meant his “fake news” slogan was a Nazi dogwhistle. Or as Musk’s AI Grok is now conditioned to parrot: The Legacy Media.
According to the article has antisemitic connotation and it was ubiquitous in Third Reich propaganda.
There is a conceptual distinction: Encryption in transit vs. encryption at rest. You may send the packets encrypted to the server, but if they are not encrypted on the server’s file system, anyone can read them.
The real question is, why do you think governments make such a big fuss about citizens having access to military grade encryption?
There have been audits of e2ee implementations, and the algorithms used also have some objective properties. I don’t think that I have ever heard in cryptography discussions that backdoors are so widespread that the discussion is moot. I have only heard, time and time again, the opposite.
Even Apple, in this very occasion, opted to ditch the service rather than backdoor it, and in fact takes the UK to court over this. I think that the opinion that this is all for show is a tad wild, and not very well supported in this occasion.
Like every cryptology book starts with the adage “There is cryptography that prevents your little sister from reading your mail, and cryptography that prevents the government from reading your mail, and we will talk about the latter.”
On the other hand, not all implementations are created equal. Telegram was recently under fire, and there is a lot of variance in e2ee implementations in XMPP clients, IIRC.
At this point you are allowed to put “George Soros” in scare quotes too. It is a good time to be alive. /S
You expect him to conceive that different words mean different things?
I was halfway in reading this, and laughing at every fucking period. Then I said “That’s it, this is ‘Not The Onion’ material.”
OK now that arstechnica has written about it, shills might stop nagging in the comments about my titling. LMAO
The basic way to do this is you respond to these three questions: What am I trying to protect? From whom? What are they able to do to get there?
This is a cool way to protect a belief, narrowing the scope so that the refuting data do not apply anymore. Perhaps I can write a fucking essay about it, but do you have data to support this narrowing move? There is like a ton of data that the West has been invasively spying of possible threats to the status quo (from Cointelpro to undercover UK cops like recently), not just people “acting on it”. Furthermore, actions can fall under protected free speech as well, like putting up a poster, demonstrating, and protesting. So your proposal is inherently undemocratic if you roll back freedom to only protect oral expression, quite similar to a “Don’t ask don’t tell” attitude towards gay people. What you just said is simply counter-factual. Blanket surveillance is a staple of Western societies in the 21st century, and it blows my mind that there are still people oblivious to what is more or less spelled out clearly in the Patriot Act and all laws modeled after it across the globe.
