The 14 million number doesn’t even do it justice either. There were like 27 million total deaths on the USSR side its just a lot of them happened in the field rather than in the camps. 6 million is nowhere near the Nazi kill count. It’s much closer to 50 million when you take everything into account. The famines, the wars, the camps, all of it.

It wasnt even just people we’d consider disabled today. It was also people who were entirely capable of working and being part of society and had no disability but just happened to have a condition they didn’t like. The Nazi’s were eugenicists. They wanted to kill anyone they didn’t think should be making babies essentially. So you could even just have had a family history of certain illnesses and they’d throw you in a gas chamber. Even if you personally were 100% in perfect health. A lot of that gets lost in translation because the term disabled hasn’t been super cleanly defined across the last century. Plus since their science back then was pretty basic half the time they’d call stuff genetic conditions that weren’t even such. Like there is a non 0 chance you could have gotten a bad rash on your face and they’d have been like “Oh my god! This person has dirty blood! Gas them!”

I think that’s important to note because when talking about the holocaust a lot of the time people act like the Nazi’s had some sort of list of categories they’d go after and as long as you weren’t in one of those categories you’d have been fine. That simply isn’t the case. While being a jew, visibly disabled, gay, etc was definitely not ideal, and you were in more danger, other people weren’t safe either. A lot of who got gassed came down to simple bad luck. Being at the wrong place at the wrong time and pissing off some Nazi who decided to put your name on a list.

When I was like 19 someone told me “You should try dropshipping its how I make my money and its great!” and I was like “Wtf is that it sounds like a word some scammer would make up.” And they explained it and I said “Oh. I was right you are scamming people.”

Look at these letters. They’re my favorite letters. Don’t mean anything tho. Might make it a link on accident. Don’t click.

As a Zoomer I havent watched an ad period or watched a tv in years. I am definitely an outlier on how strict my adblock is and not using any streaming services but not having cable is very common these days so idk how many people are watching CNN or the Weather Channel.

can you reccomend me to the boss i been trying to get a job there for years

Finally someone is making sense.

Not gonna lie these are suspiciously good. If this was some amateur making fake alien photos I’d expect it to be worse. AI models that the public can use are easier to spot then this. Photoshop this good is hard. I expect this is an actual psyop. It matches with all the alien shit we’ve seen recently from the US government. Plus Trumps approvals are shit right now so if he can get the alien people to think he’s doing “Art of the Deal” on aliens that would help him a bit I guess?

To be clear I think that UFOs are real. I’ve seen one myself. I just think that they’re von neumann probes and unmanned automated things that are everywhere in the galaxy. Not really that big of a deal. But it reminds me of that quote. I forget where it comes from or where I saw it. It was something like, “The US Military Industrial Complex will exhaust all possible options for war on Earth. Then it will create a fake alien threat to justify even higher military spending.”

So the alien on the right hand side is sitting on the wrong side of the table right? And staring at the wall?

IF and BIG IF Aliens turned out to be white people it would 100% just be them shapeshifting to take advantage of racism.

OK so let me be more clear:

I am fine with being able to click a button and say “Show me the stuff with the most engagement on the entire site in the last 24 hours” or something like that. Because that is the same for everyone and is just a way to find active discussions. What I am not fine with is where everyones feed is different and determined by specific things being tracked about them. I see it as unhealthy and addictive to the users and as promoting reactionary behavior in society at large.

Is this a reference to something I’m not getting?

I don’t think sorting is the same as an algorithm. Hot/Top/Controversial/New/Old are specific ways of sorting things. By Algorithmic I meant where they track every click, movement, and pause to decide what to show you next.

It’s like the Halloween candy stuff. People would be scared someone is going to put drugs in the halloween candy. Like why would someone do that? Drugs are expensive. Why would you give them out for free?

Unironically I do think we should ban algorithmic social media. Like Hexbear is fine but if content is served over an algorithm it should be banned. Go back to the days of following manually and stuff. Engagement bait dominates now and its rotting peoples brains.

Ok but let me expand on this for you.

Large Companies are engaging in purposeful data poisoning of the internet. Currently LLM generated content is over 50% of web content. If it is full of hallucinations (it is) that means 50% of what is on the web is nonsense. It can’t be trusted or verified. At a certain point you need a CONFIRMED archive of information that is untouched by LLMs. Where do you get that from? Tech Companies. They all have their massive backups of the original internet they used to train the LLMs in the first place sitting on servers.

So they purposefully release LLMs for free or near free which causes the internet as a whole to be unreliable (This even applies to things like peer reviewed papers and books now. As people us LLMs to edit/write these.) Then once everyone realizes that its very hard to verify information these days the tech companies can come out and be like “Oh shucks well here’s a subscription for 150$ a month to our archive of Pre-AI Internet stuff! Enjoy!”

It used to be that you could verify things by checking multiple sources and seeing if they agreed. But since LLMs will hallucinate and agree with eachother on the hallucinations you now have a situation where something entirely WRONG could be confirmed as “true” until physical reality sets in and we realize just how untrue it was. Like maybe all the LLMs decide the safe dosage of Tylenol is 15% more than it really is. Then 3 months later thats what the internet says and people are having livers fail left and right.

They are manufacturing a need for an authoritative source on pre-AI information while actively contaminating all the other possible sources for this by pushing LLMs as hard as they can.

To me this is confirmation that Irans recent strikes on jordan did damage to the jets there.

Yeah I think the main takeaway is that China is pushing hard to find a way to make domestic chips that are on par with top of the line western ones. They’ll find a way to do it eventually even if its not this. They’ve been having a lot of interesting breakthroughs and eventually one or multiple will give them the path forward. But if people expect them to magically solve a super complex problem overnight then they’ll be disappointed.

The British conquered so much of the world they had any food they could imagine to eat and they said, “Actually, I want to try cannibalism.”
