You gonna understand the state is run by paranoid sociopaths. They'll dream up any delusional scenario, then use it as an excuse for more surveillance, prisons, wars, control, etc.

For example, imagine somebody hacks a major social platform and sends a fake message from AI/deepfake Trump to thousand of chuds inciting some kind of fascist terrorism. It might sound unrealistic but what if?!?!?! I could imagine something similar happening with current tech. (I think it's part of why they're trying to ban TikTok.)

In general I feel like "AI" is almost entirely lies, hype, grifting, etc. But I could imagine some scenarios that the state might want to disincentivize.

Don't the forget the extortionate textbooks gatekeeping who can understand the extortionate journals.

There is no automated/objective way to block "pure liberal cringe", propaganda, etc.

But like other people have said, there might be apps/tweaks for more advanced filters.

Imagine believing that blocking a lemmy instance is fascism.

Gotta love how all the images in this article are straight from the noplace media kit (link to google docs in footer).

TBH I respect Toyota for being realistic more than grifters like Musk. The fact is that car will never be a sustainable replacement for cars. They're here to save the auto cartels, not the planet.

But on the other hand public transit and LEVs are much more realistic. I would very much like to see a Toyota e-bike.

Excellent explanation (and disclaimer). I might just add another 2 cents...

It's not just that "the market fails" to account for many "externalities", but also that the market is systemically incapable of ever accounting for very many, very important externalities.

IE. The space of externalities >>> the market space. For example if the market priced in the suffering of labor (by paying living wages+, etc), that alone might make the market unaffordable. Similarly with climate justice, etc. The exploitation of these externalities is largely the basis of "profit".

While alt-imperial media promotes the genocide of ukrainians, imperial media promotes the genocide of palestinians.

That's why most people will never see through this endless haze of lies, disinfo, propaganda, etc.

Fines are only a punishment for the poor.

We are but not like that lol

IE. Not effectively.
