Bbhh hope you've been well friend 💜

Would love to see you start posts and discussions about what next! I've personally been really energized by all the activity I've been seeing in activism, queer, and anarchist groups since the election results were clear.

Absolutely. If someone is being openly fash, please report them so we can remove them.

But I've seen a lot of really heated infighting where people were treating others in bad faith. Let's not do that.

Removing this comment for your final sentence. You're welcome to be upset and air your frustrations. You are not welcome to be sexist while doing so. You're better than this.

My dude, I told you to chill and take a step back. People were reporting you for being confrontational. I flagged my comment to help you understand that this was me helping you understand how we do things on Beehaw. If you think someone reminding you of the rules, asking you to take a step back, asking you to not be confrontational and doing their best to treat your comment with good faith and providing you educational material is "rude and condescending" or that it is "talking down to others" then you're probably not a good fit for this instance.

I'm going to time you out from our instance for 7 days. Please take that time to reflect. If you repeatedly show this behavior on our instance, you may find yourself with longer timeouts or even being removed.

Sadly not surprising that AI will be weaponized to disenfranchise voters and disproportionately affect the kind of people those who are pushing for it's adoption don't want to vote.

Hey there, I've removed this comment because it reads as rather aggressive (and was reported for such). Maybe take a step back and re-assess if you're treating others with good faith and be(e)ing nice.

that still doesn’t make this about colonialism because this is about capitalism.

FYI- there is wide overlap between these two and they are not mutually exclusive. If you're unfamiliar with the use of these terms, you should ask how they are defined or how they are being used, rather than pushing a pedantic lens on the words definition.

Great article, thanks!

Genuinely asking, because I always assume US billionaires are effectively untouchable

They're certainly less touchable because they mostly exist outside of normal spaces - private drivers, private planes, curating who's at events, etc. They're not untouchable so much as it's too much annoyance/effort to deal with them. I mean, hell, the very idea of a hired assassin is basically entirely made up by Hollywood. The military assassinates people all the time during war and coups on foreign soil (albeit a lot less than they used to) and civil disrupt in the homeland, but that's because they have the backing of a government to protect them. There are some rare targeted instances of sabotage (Havana syndrome may be a modern version of that) but those are also suspected to be tied to government. Any overt assassinations in another first world country, even if backed by a strong military, would likely be considered tantamount to a declaration of war, and I cannot imagine a situation in which it would not be difficult to figure out that another country was behind it.

Are you in therapy or have a mental health professional you see? If not and funding is an issue, have you reached out to local free/discounted healthcare groups to see if there's mental health resources you can get access to? Unfortunately on the internet like this, we aren't professionals and can't provide that kind of help.

you should filter out irrelevant details like names before any evaluation step

Unfortunately, doing this can make things worse. It's not a simple problem to solve, but you are generally on the right track. A good example of how it's more than just names, is how orchestras screen applicants - when they play a piece they do so behind a curtain so you can't see the gender of the individual. But the obfuscation doesn't stop there - they also ensure the female applicants don't wear shoes with heels (something that makes a distinct sound) and they even have someone stand on stage and step loudly to mask their footsteps/gait. It's that second level of thinking which is needed to actually obscure gender from AI, and the more complex a data set the more difficult it is to obscure that.

I understand that you're hurting and you're trying to reach out for help, but I really struggle with understanding what you need here. I often struggle following your train of thought, it takes a lot of stops at references I don't get and the purpose is lost along the way. I think you're hurting and you need to vent, but I don't know that betterment and praxis is the space to do it? Or am I misunderstanding what you're asking for here?
