The Velour Fog

How many “Hallmarks of authoritarianism” do we have to experience before it just becomes “authoritarianism?”

What a caricature of a person.

He’s what you see when you look up “slimeball” in the dictionary.

Yeah this don’t pass the sniff test. Definitely a plant.

Of course Putin doesn’t need to budge, Trump is his stooge. The orange skidmark was tripping over himself to fellate him.

I mean I wasn’t going around accusing everyone of being a bot or thinking that I was right all the time. I did have a few false positives and owned up to it. But once you see the pattern of behavior (big gap on joined date vs first active date, only posting in karma farming subs or subs known to have high bot populations) and accounts literally keeping the “as a large language model…” Or “Okay, here’s a supportive Reddit-style comment with some minor spelling mistakes…” in some of their comments, ads at the end of their comments, and posting all hours of the day without any gaps for sleep or work, or posting fragments comments identical to ones posted months or years earlier by someone else, you start to realize maybe these accounts might not be genuine.

I have screenshots to prove it but if you really believe I don’t know what I’m talking about then there’s really nothing I can say to dissuade that.

I’d gotten really good at discerning a chatGPT bot from a human account just from years of catching bots on Reddit.

There’s a lot of red flags and tells that would be very hard to completely eradicate. There will always be an uncanny valley.

I’ll take the Taco special, with a side of Epstein files please!

It really fucks with my head when I hear sonic rings come from a gas station cash register…

Avoiding Google is honestly the best choice to avoid AI. Duckduckgo has a toggle where you can switch off AI summaries and filter out most AI generated images in image search. I switched to DDG years ago and never looked back.

Another distraction. Release the Epstein files.

Distraction. How bout them Epstein files?

Don’t let that distract you from the fact that he is in the Epstein files and is an adjudicated rapist.

Yeah, wake me when he’s in cuffs

What’s stopping the Trump admin from continuing to obstruct the merger? I wouldn’t put it past him to try to screw over Paramount even more, now that they showed him that he can push them around.

So a show that has consistently high ratings and viewership, was just nominated for an Emmy and already won numerous Peabody awards is getting the ax.

Cutting off their nose to spite their face.
