this guy keeps going on all the obscure side quests, but it's taking way too long because has to fight every enemy along the way. "Buy 12 donuts" shouldn't deplete half your health dude. I didn't even know that "Walk across a graveyard" had a boss fight
"get owned i made an AI image of you in jail"
so epic
our country will be free from twitter
That will kill, like, half on the Kpop fan accounts though
damn that's so sad 🤣
if it gets shutdown fr it'll be wild
and annoying cause I'll have to use a vpn to see kpop pics probably

they're really scrambling if they're saying they're pro union huh
Honestly, in all but name RFK probably is VP now. He's exactly the kinda guy Trump loves
too bad they wont remove his name off in swing states lol
I thought he was removing his name off the ballot only in swing states?
so his voters there go to trump
As in, he'll still get voting percentages there even though he's out of the race?
If people vote for him yeah
The two states as of right now that are keeping him on are Wisconsin and Michigan
Knowing some voters they might even vote a hamburger into president 
That's still so odd though, wouldn't the votes just count as null in that case?
Nope
I believe those ballots are already printed so tough luck for RFK Jr. and Trump
Here is some of the reasoning https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rfk-jr-ballot-battleground-states/
I'm just trying to think whether the math could get messy or not 😵💫
Most RFK voters don't want to vote for Trump or Harris so it will be interesting
And they are more on the side of vaccines aren't real
Ahhhh i see
I didn't really follow that, just saw the announcement he was dropping on those
it's part of the reason why people where concenred about Biden dropping out, because if it was too late then his name would be on ballots
Unlike RFK Biden is smart enough to do it properly though
It has to be noted how rare a statement like this from the Army is. I covered the Army for 4 years and not sure I can recall something similar
Quoting Haley Britzky (@halbritz)

got me confused there for a bit, had to check the channel
How so?
Man that's awful
Purple heart and not the US army kind 
Different kind of Army
pretty much, it's way too hot here, brain is not working
Lol
RALEIGH, NC — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to remain on North Carolina ballot despite dropping out, as officials say there's no time to reprint ballots before Sept. 6.
I like how hes just leaking the copium they are feeding him lmfao
When they're complaining about unfavorable polls on Fox News of all places you know they're actually beyond cooked
This is just embarrassing
We are seeing some great character growth from trump tho
A few decades ago he wouldnt rent his apartments to black people but now hes letting one live in his head rent free
Admirable
Fox is now carrying Kamala's speeches
https://fxtwitter.com/atrupar/status/1829510846885622191 havent seen a politician get eviscerated live this hard in quite some time, theres more in the thread
BERMAN: Last night you posted a clip from Ms Teen US 2007 -- Caitlin Upton. When you posted that, were you aware she thought about committing suicide for the attention that received?
JD VANCE: No, certainly not.
B: Would you like to apologize?
V: I'm not going to apologize
as usual, Vance's face continues to look like a punching bag you want to hit all day long
so when is Brazil banning Twitter
saw some Brazilian pixy fans just absolutely devastated
Any moment on the next 24 hours
Also you can not use a vpn to access it or you'll be fined
Crazy
Although at this point its pretty much just a right wing propaganda machine with all the bots
Not sure if somebody linked that story about all the fake pro trump accounts that stole pictures from european influencers
wont be able to see triples fansites anymore 😔
Trump: You know, I do the weave. You know the weave? I weave stories together. Friends of mine that are, like, English professors, they say it's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen
(???)
A true wordsmith
Apprently companies should take the Twitter app off their respective app stores and VPN apps too
Well the neat thing about vpns is that the government wont know that youre using them to visit twitter
But its annoying for sure
Realistically... yeah, that
yeah idk how they plan to enforce the fine lol
its like a 10k usd fine for accessing it with vpns
but how do you even enforce that
I sorta doubt the BR government has the means to pursue millions of Brazilians browsing [cat pics] on twt through VPNs
report your friends
if part of the fine goes to me
Finally a good refer a friend program
are you allowed to look at fixupx posts on discord
As long as you don't click em
it'll be like the tiananmen square copypasta that bans chinese people from the internet
It's technically not twitter, it's FXtwitter
twitter? the former website with the logo of a blue bird?
it should show up on discord normally
can also see elon going back on it
probably just a high number to disencourage people from using it
On the flipside, maybe this will finally give any of the Twt "successor" apps that popped up the last time Elon was horribly shit with his app rise to fame
See you on Threads, Don 
threads i use exclusively to like whatever youha posts there
Sus. but yeah
its mostly cause i have no reason to ever use the app unless i click her profile and it says "2 new posts" on the threads icon lol
why else would i ever use that app
week 1 everyone just bounced away from it
fair
I'm just annoyed cause i won't be able to look at fansite pics now
very inconvenient
You can't actually delete that account btw if you still use IG
Just one click away from being back on Threads

But yeah for a long while you couldn't
At least i remember seeing news about that being added
Makes sense I guess
Either way, it sorta would be an option for the BR twt populace I guess
in order to delete your threads account you must answer three riddles or face death
It's not like you can really use IG for communication the same way you'd use Twt
there's also no one funny on Instagram
Threads, despite all its flaws, is more suitable for it
IG is for pretty pics and that's just it
yep
I post on IG once a year to let my high school friends know I'm still alive
I'm sure they appreciate the reminder
Unless you're reminding them so they'll remain fearful
Help posts pictures of atomic wedgies to remind them of their plight
I've never posted an IG story
when I do it'll be a banger
everyone will get the notification that I've posted an IG story for the first time
"stop the wedding" they'll say
No one ever clicks those
hell yeah
Not my fault idols are allowed to have an SNS presence these days
Not even following all of Loona, fake fan
get him!

https://fxtwitter.com/KamalaHQ/status/1829641049142112624 its getting closer
Trump on GOP Rep. Byron Donalds: “That one is smart. You have smart ones and then you have some that aren’t quite so good.”
do you know Choerry?

The Sun has a gun
it's all smiles and sunshine until Vitamin D brings out the Glock
real
losing half my oomfs after this
millions getting outed as brazilians
shout out brazil
this happening right after the brazilian miku thing is very appropriate
i am NOT brazilian
If they run an account dedicated to a kpop idol its 99% chance they are Brazilian
true
the real exposé would be france banning discord
that would be judement day
lol
lol
yukika fanpage is also vanishing
dont worry guys i made a call
can you unmake it
Damn he folds quickly
if i had to kill discord or twitter discord is going down first
idk have you gotten bigfoot hunting advertisements on discord yet?
there are probably some silly blue checkmarks from brazil so he realized it was not a good idea to leave them stranded to snapchat premium
not a fan of how the judge went after starlink/spacex due to twitter
but i guess thats legal in brazil
not really, decisions about that are being criticized for not really following the due process
the argument is that since they're part of the same "economic group" (because of the relationship to elon musk) authorities are able to go after it because twitter (also under musk) refused to pay the fines imposed to them
which isn't illegal but the way they went about it was really aggressive and just ignored usual due process
so basically starlink got their bank accounts blocked because the government found it's a way of actually getting the twitter fines paid by musk
which ehhhhh idk if im against really lol
elon kept disrespecting decisions by our supreme court and refused to collaborate multiple times while whining about it so
i dont like punishing an unrelated company just because they share an owner, feels very wrong
sure go after anything personal he has in the country but its also punishing others who are part of spacex
seems the understanding is that they're under the same "economic group" under elon musk but yeah as i said they skipped steps on due process and stuff lol
so it's very messy
Bureaucrats smh
where did popbase even get this info
Its popbase, they have eyes and ears everywhere
don't they have fingers to link the source

popbase has shooters
We dont do that anymore
yeah i cant find shit about that
In b4 popbase is from BR as well and coping hard
I THOUGHT WE WOULD BE BANNED AT MIDNIGHT (BRT) BUT APPARENTLY NOT! 🎉🎉🎉
please check your mail for an invoice
Some of my friends started losing access to it alr
I didn't yet but yeahhhhh it'll come eventually
what is their reasoning for banning twitter
Sometimes you can roaast Trump just by reposting videos of him talking at rallies
Still can't believe it's such a close match between the two candidates
Both because a. Trump is Trump and b. Harris managed to gain an incredible amount of support in just a month so far
Please prove past me wrong, Kamala 😭
Twitter still working for me for whatever reason i guess my ISP didn't get the memo
Tbf a lot of that is also because of voter suppression and the amount of obstacles they put on voting itself
Like
There's always a way to bypass
"we would've lost if i hadn't stopped these illegal votes" (no evidence of illegal votes at all)
don't tech lecture me i know

dns
Hm but is that relevant for state polls and such? I just meant that polling-wise they're very close in a lot of states
Unless I misunderstood 🙏
oh yeah my brain just didn't process you were taking about polling LOL
polling data can be very unreliable as there's a loot of variables on it going from the polling method itself to the sample size and stuff
altho afaik they generally get better late into the election cycle (last few weeks) as those get more funding and people are more decided on who they'll vote for or if they'll vote
Ah that's true
If we're talking about state polls then yeah ofc they're unreliable to a degree in that it depends on how the sampling happened to begin with, but currently a lot of the state polls are mostly showing the same "battlegrounds" in terms of the states that the two parties are closest at
If we're talking about like 3% margins with a +/- 3% error rate then that's basically a statistical tie
So what I meant is it's crazy that the current state polls are showing that statistical tie in a lot of different states
Harris being the Democratic candidate for a MONTH and already "catching up" as much as she has, even compared to the Biden vs Trump state polls
Just a very very wild voting season 
skipping due process and prosecuting like that is generally illegal in well thought out justice/legal systems. They may be able to do it at the time, but eventually if the judicial system isn't corrupt, it'll get smacked down.
only exceptions are usually war-time and extreme emergencies
This kind of action might seem applaudable because it targets somebody that they don't like and many don't have high regards for (Elon Musk), but if they can do it to Musk and his collection of companies, it send the wrong signal to other investors and big conglomerates there with eccentric figures in them.
A few years ago, I think Canada tried to pull off something like that with a wartime act being triggered for a protest, and they started locking up bank accounts and confiscating money without due process, and in just a few days there was so much business uproar that they reversed it within a handful of days. It's very dangerous to do that and not piss off big money.
I saw that one happen in real time because the company I work with also threatened to pull capital out of Canada through back channels.
Most companies aren't all directly owned by one person instead of, you know, the usual stakeholders or whatever. In a way Elon brought this on himself by inserting his god complex into all of his companies instead of having a degree of detachability in them
So yeah, even if some people don't like it, in his specific case for his specific companies it feels both justifyable and correct to handle it like this
I suppose that will be up to their legal system in the long run to figure out if it was justifiable and legal and correct.
Again, assuming a fair process.
And he only has himself to blame for pretending he doesn't have to play by usual business rules
SpaceX/Starlink and X/Twitter are not entirely owned by Musk either, he's just the figurehead in all of them, not even the majority stakeholder (though he is the largest stakeholder).
Going after private business like that, regardless of what you think of the person, is not good precedent for any country, let alone an economy and country as large and populated as Brazil.
I feel like you lost the nuance there
I'm not trying to be nuanced, I don't care what happens to Elon or his businesses, just saying the course of action Brazil's justice department took is probably going to reverberate for that country's business investments and sets a future precedent for them to do it to somebody else down the line.
distaste cannot be handled hastily 
In an only tangentially related manner, nationalizing corporations also discourages future international investment in a country
The nuance being, yes he effectively owns both those companies, yes he directly broke the law with one of them, directly defying and provoking the courts in Brazil and therefore his other company isn't exempt from getting hit by the flak
ban reddit and discord next
They can actually go after SpaceX/Starlink, issue is that yeah they did skip a couple steps to get there faster lol
Which is probably illegal
Like, I hate the whole notion of massively rich businessmen doing whatever tf they want with one of their companies and when it goes to hell in some way they just hide behind the other one and walk freely. Fuck that.
If not illegal it's at least very dubious
But is it more dubious than Elon's dealings
Well he's not subject to Brazil's laws unless he travels there and/or lives there, his companies, if they operate in Brazil, are subject to Brazilian laws, going after his companies vindictively because they don't like him personally or what he says is just bad legal moves even if they are "legal". Whatever.

That's nonsense, quite frankly.
If he operates a company in a country, he is also liable in that country
Obviously the US won't extradite him or something, but he is liable nonetheless
His companies would be liable for their actions in that country, not him personally for his musings online, you wouldn't like American laws to apply to German companies and citizens vindictively either.
They blocked Starlink's accounts because Elon actually does owe the Brazilian government money and they consider that company to be under the same economic umbrella
Which is a thing in Brazilian law
That law makes a whole lot of sense tbh
Cause
As i said they really just skipped some steps to get there faster lol
Which yeah I'll say it's sus and probably actually done out of spite for his disdain of our country's laws and consistently ignoring the court orders lol
No, I'm absolutely fine with German businessmen being liable for the shit they sell in other countries in said countries.
And German companies have been sued in the US often enough for that matter
Vindictively being the key word here, skipping typical processes to get at them in a way that would hurt them just because of distaste. Obviously countries' laws would and should apply to internationally operating companies.
As for the "is he liable individually", yes. Cause he openly and publicly makes everything about himself, including this case. He personally turned it from twitter vs. Brazil into Elon vs. Brazil
If anything, many of the EU and individual European countries' laws applying to American tech companies have been a positive force in certain ways (like privacy) and opening up closed walled gardens.
yeah I get what you're saying but it's only because it's applying to him in this way that you are approving of it, a reflection of his poor character, etc.
If another corrupt justice system went after somebody more innocuous for malicious reasons, using this kind of precedent, it wouldn't be good.
I'd say that for all billionaires probably cause i do think they shouldn't exist
And in a country where presidents routinely get prosecuted after their terms are done because the opposition who has won don't like them (and this applies to both sides of the aisle), I don't have much faith in the fairness of their so-called justice or legal system. No offense, Don 🙇♀️
It's not about his character (which is obviously horrible), it's about his actions that he proudly displays which are against the law and he makes it quite clear that is breaking the law purposefully. Most comglomerate CEOs have the common sense to not try and piss off the judiciary of a country the size of Brazil by pissing on their laws and then mocking them for trying to uphold them
Oh you're actively ignoring the law of this country you're operating at RIP all the companies you own
Fair. It is a unique situation given the buildup and premises, yeah
We'll see how it plays out for both Elon and his companies, as well as Brazil and its justice system and business investments long-term.
As a little sidenote, I don't think Americans should sit on their high horse like this towards judiciaries in countries like Brazil when their own is as terribly flawed as it is.... and also they're pretty much directly at fault for the current state of most countries in southern America in the first place via their actions in the past. 
The judge did go a bit too hard on some stuff imo like at first they were gonna make apple/google remove vpn apps from the app stores too which is obviously very silly and they took that back for now lol
As far as the huge fine for using twitter goes it's obviously just to spook people
9k usd per day lol
I mean the personal fine for people using twitter
What elon has to pay is basically nothing
But since we're not under a right wing government he's not complying
cause lol
Fun fact, you know in which countries he's happily complying and deleting everything requested? India and Turkey, cause lol
Very curious
It isnt really a routine thing it happened once because it was a necessary step for the right wing parliamentary coup to take place and then again because the president in question was an actual gangster
Somehow my grandma's internet still has access to Twitter and when i opened my silly k-pop account i was faced with a totally not politically motivated and created by Elon account called "Alexandre Files"
pay up grandma
This alexandre files thing seeming very much like the twitter files he tried to do last time
is the translation of what was posted correct?
in secret and without any reference to offending material seems pretty sketch
I like how they just sprung up this new account to post about this lmfao
Like is this supposed to suggest its not coming from twitter directly? Why is this not something like a press release
Oh never mind its because that account is signal boosted to fuck
10m views 
created by Elon and turbo boosted
twitter has always had special accounts for certain things
just not sure why this isnt on @globalaffairs like it has been before
Because it's elon being petty and trying do do a twitter files 2.0 lol
EZ solution; suspend the government instead of twitter
The twitter files thing was so embarassing
Makes for a good litmus test to figure out if people read the things they talk about tho
Also i can't really see the og cause yep twitter
I don't think they referenced offending material on the platform? But the people they requested information and to be suspended were investigated by federal police and found involved with the coup attempt
yep it does be asking for their suspension and a lot of info in secret
ip addresses, access time, all their posts, etc
Which btw is pretty standard procedure for law enforcement all around the world
From all i saw this is all pretty 🤷
maybe dont undermine democracy and attempt a coup next time idk
elon defending people trying to overthrow the government is very consistent on his part
the government smh
yep right wing brainrotten divorced man be like that
I like how he casually reposted Charlie Kirk just yesterday, well known wholesome definitely not nazi who needs more punches thrown at them
yep another someone who should get a divorce from this plane of existence
absolutely wild that elon can manage to make me hate him even more
every couple months
Hey man charlie kirk is actually left leaning the democrats are just too crazy
Actually idk if he does that meme
Its hard to tell all these right wing pundits apart
Pretty sure he's pretty open about it
yeah he's just a nazi
Oh hes the small face guy
Maybe youre mistaking him for dave rubin
Theyre from the same time period
Chunk Yogurt's bestie
the belief i hold that could be closest to a conspiracy theory, is that Elon might be sending funds to BBC or some associates of theirs, because he wants to ruin each person connected to Grimes, and one of them is Go Won
you're on to something
take the "to" out

i mean it does not matter that much at the end, because neither Elon or Blockberry are competent enough to win even with infinite funds, even if the label had those resources they'd somehow use it to launder and not to win their battles
different strategies
elon has a lot of net worth
lee jong myeong thrives by having zero (on paper)
ive been loving all of these
LOL
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazil's Supreme Court panel upholds judge's decision to block billionaire Musk's social media platform X nationwide.
yep
me sharing this news from x
hey at least discord embeds work
not that I'd know i close my eyes cause looking at tweets is illegal 🙏
🙈
her husband
i'll take over i guess
The scoundrel!
JoJo Siwa reveals that she’s in talks to represent Poland at Eurovision.
That's actually not true
Unless they changed it like in the past one or two hours
Last time popbase said anything about this they were also wrong
popcrave also stated the similar
it sources that an amendment according that is made yesterday
there's reservations about it and that part is gonna be analyzed individually but as of the decision that happened today whoever uses vpns are still at risk of being fined
apparently one of the sources called Jota reported of an amendment from supreme court
however, they had now erased it
hence the possible confusion
What they removed was that apple/google etc would have to remove vpn apps from the stores
Popbase feeling those missing BR clicks on their Elon paycheck
Probably
iirc they reconsidered it at first but put it back, just taking out the part that would force the removal of VPN apps from app stores
The decision was only fully sanctioned today and it included the 9k usd fine
Which is unsurprisingly being criticized by how large it is and how it punishes people who had nothing to do with Twitter's decision so that might change in the upcoming weeks
Time to community note that, Don. 
Real lemme just open my Twit-
it also sets a horrible precedent with the fines for other countries to follow
Not really
wdym??
i know if turkey were aware of that, they'd just ban every big app and put fines on those with vpns
why would it be a scary precedent when countries have been doing stupid fines for ages
never heard of fines for vpn usages
yeah cause it's silly and doesn't make any sense and it's basically impossible to enforce
exactly
this one is just to scare people off
basically no one is gonna be fined
not surprisingly a lot of people just ended up downloading vpns to access twitter after the ban was announced
And there's people who were already using vpns before
so 🤷 this wont really do anything
See, your mistake there is thinking those countries would fine you. They'll just throw you into jail and throw away the key until you stop being a foilthy dissident
BR is doing the "Actually sort of a Democracy, imagine that" version of it
yeah the fine thing is also already being questioned and it'll likely go through changes soon
at least it should
and even if it doesn't idt it'll be enforced at all
Starlink is also obviously defying the decision to block access to Twitter and they'll obviously get sued over it
Re: If you still had doubts and thought including Starlink in his decision was wrong
Elon just ruining his chances on the BR market for all his companies speedrun
Tesla next
I don't think tesla is present here at all
I'll support him to make up for the loss
i am going take out all the loans i can to buy teslas
did you know that loans are just free money if you don't pay it back
but you'll be forever a loan
at least poland would be doing something interesting
Unironically I'd buy a cybertruck
But why though, that thing is ugly as sin
Idc it's different
Different doesn't equal good
it fugly
you're all gonna be wanting a cyber truck when the cyber wars start
But that's the thing, those would be the first to go
If there's a cyber war the last thing you want is a shitty self driving computerized car
counterpoint, it's got the word cyber in it
some suburban mom who's paranoid about security would probably be safer on her giant bulletproof truck
the kids crossing the street wouldn't be safe but hey she would
Unbeatable argument
She'll go the RFK route of "finding" roadkill that totally was hit by people before her for dinner
wouldn't doubt it either
i seen some graphics of how much bigger USA trucks are by comparison with their "regular" versions and it's pretty wild
People there be driving on tanks
the cybertruck can barely function as a truck its legit just for tech bros to larp and compensate for their lack of masculinity or whatever
You are so real for saying that
only real trucks are the small ones from back in the day
Only real vehicle is the Nissan Escargot
OBS trucks on top
the average truck bed on older designs being bigger than the "XL" options on new ones is just comical
so much bloat now
I'm surprised that they have prison clothes ready in such size
I mean, you're talking about the US here
This Lex Fridman Trump interview somehow managed to be worse than I imagined, how does this guy even have this many viewers
No I mean in general
Why is 400k in 4 hours even normal
Do people enjoy mental torture?
Its fascinating how he seemingly has no drive to dig deeper into anything, like does he even recognize that trump pivots away from every question, is he too scared to press him on anything cause its such a big pr stunt for lex himself, does he think these are real answers?
hey thats not windows
something that's available in your house
Trump: Some people don't eat bacon anymore. This was caused by their horrible energy. Wind. They want wind all over the place. When it doesn't blow, we have a problem.
He truly has the biggest brain
Trump: You know, I do the weave. You know the weave? I weave stories together. Friends of mine that are, like, English professors, they say it's the most brilliant thing I've ever seen

He's so real if he did
vaguely remember bpm getting hacked before
yt intern getting fired 
lol
tim pool acting like a victim in his deleted statement too lol
A classic
this is not epic bacon moment 
accept money to promote kremlin talking points then go "man theres no way i could've known it's coming from the Russian government I'm a victim"
very smart
It's almost like those right wing pundits have no actual principles and just do whatever gets them the most money
only the most shocking revelations today
Guess that Tim pool v kamala hq law suit will be delayed slightly
Good for you, I figured youre just building your portfolio here
Just here to learn from the masters 
Helping win with joy ❤️
so Elon could reach more "audiences"
Your content is (mostly) text
And no, typing via a remote is AWFUL
i know because I have a smart tv
And also no, voice works half of the time
Read: they're making a version of the app for TV that is not designed for its target audience
Who probably don't even own a TV
I don't see absolutely any viable case where this is practical
I mean their humongous large center console almost qualify as a TV
TVs have internet browsers too so
Ok but I can do that with Chrome right now
same use case yeah
(and without Premium btw)
Oh lmao I can absolutely see the TV app being VERY limited unless you subscribe
I don't get any memo ever
everything includes video
So you're telling me I can watch a futch LOOSSEMBLE brainrot edit which I already cannot watch, just in a larger screen
I dunno that sounds like a massive tradeoff
"IRFAN, WHY IS THERE AN "X" APP ON OUR LIVING ROOM TV? WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING??"
My mom, probably when she's in the homescreen
time to get a keyboard just for the tv
I mean at that point imma just TeamViewer into my PC and use the damn TV as monitor
Cause the whole point of TV is to use just the remote
....
No I mean interfacing it
yes that's how we should consume the content
But I am more meaning towards how you interact with it
and it sure as hell not with a mouse and keyboard
Controller probably
Since people do plug consoles to their old tv to make it smart
my remote is a mouse
lg best
ok that's an exception
LG Airmouse is OBJECTIVELY the best TV remote out there
Like I can only wish having that but universal
pretty sure mine is called differently, but yes. these are absolutely amazing.
was shocked and pleased once i got used to it
Mom: "what are you doing up there"
Me: "watching drama"
The drama: X app for Smart TV
wtf
lol
wow so relatable
so the people who said it was happening weren't being overly paranoid that their words were getting cherry-picked for online shopping engagement algorithms?
topical meme

Ah instead of people not reading the article and only reading the headline, now theres only a headline
Genius
This company has pitched technology that would listen and serve targetted ads to companies like Google and Facebook, but hasnt gotten further than a pitch anywhere
I wonder why amazon is left off the table.
they probably already pay workers to live inside your walls without pee breaks


i mean i think people should be able to know that atleast facebook listens to them, way before that news
you speak one little thing about any subject irl, and suddenly, it showcases itself on your facebook ads
don't think that has to do with that specific company
You can believe that, just know that theres zero proof and what youre more likely experiencing is a mix of confirmation bias and other means of targetting ads
can't be that when i start getting influx of ads from specific topics that never showed up to me before
and that being just after i briefly mentioned them
Listening and classifying all of the audio from all devices would be a gigantic fuck ton of data to process for relatively little use
i do not think they "personally" listen to those
i think ai is trained to create those algorithms rather than people reviewing those voice datas
People have had this belief long long before any of the current ai models
And running all that data through ai classifiers would still be extremely expensive
i am personally not worried of being listened that much, mostly because i have nothing much to be followed through
like i am not in any distress due this
People type stuff into their phone all day, you have location data and therefore the shops they visit etc, you dont need audio data
it's just odd because i specifically had some sudden influx of certain items when i hadn't had any input done through my phone
not even search, just irl speech
Confirmation bias
You dont remember the thousands of ads you see that didnt have anything to do with your recent conversations
I'm sure people already conducted research on this given how prevalent this kind of claim is
i do remember some of them, but yeah, there are ads that do not have much to do with my recent conversations
People took apart amazons alexa and other variants in every way imaginable and never found anything 
really, i do not care that much to be constantly worried over, i am not that important of a person to ever ruin my devices for this
i was just somewhat confused and such
i just thought it was more of an automated algorithm that could recieve voice, rather than me being personally listened, especially meta companies have some weird terms and agreements
zuck is in my walls
i thought the specified advertisement money would well recover the algorithm - heejin costs
We know Amazon and other smart devices companies retain a ton of data for law enforcement access, often auto opt-in or without any kind of consent process with the owners and users of the devices.
It would not be that much of a stretch to think they could unleash their machine learning algorithms over this immense amount of data, anonymized of course.

Apparently they are shuttering the easy access for the Ring camera stuff though, just this year.

We've accepted and embraced a lot of previously considered privacy invasive stuff over the past decade or two.
Perhaps it's not as easy to accept ads served based on what the constantly listening smart speakers record today, but never say never.
We know amazon stores the conversations you have with echo, they even show you those conversations to listen back to them. The question is whether they listen without hearing the keyword to activate the device and so far I have never seen any evidence of that.
I think the problem is when the information starts spreading to more companies and organisations. Health insurers silently increasing the premiums they offer you because you are linked to enjoying skiing and mountain biking in algorithims. Employers gaining this data and deciding not to hire you because they don't like the political party you support or some hobby they have a personal bias against and think people who do it are werid (while making sure to note offically the reason is you lack the skills required for the job). Anything related to the police / prosecutions where the data causes them to take actions according to their personal biases that they would not have done had they not had access to it.
They absolutely "listen" without hearing the keyword, how else would they activate when they hear the keyword if they weren't already listening? lol
The question is whether they "record" that constantly on listening mode or not. And you're right that there is no currently known evidence of that.
The insurance part is already happening with 'smart' cars, manufacturers readily sharing information with car insurance companies which in turn take that data and raise premiums for more 'risky' drivers based on acceleration, hard braking, etc. data
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/11/technology/carmakers-driver-tracking-insurance.html
GM recently admitted to that and then had to reverse course after the backlash but they all do it, it's in their end-user license agreement terms and conditions for accessing the always connected car features

As President I hold the power to summon the Dáil as well as dissolve it.

These charlatans in their positions of power would be summon...
a fighter president?
Can he go fuck off back to his cage
he should fight king charles over control of northern ireland
from what I've seen, the Irish general public despise him, so I can't see it going well
he could fight Charles over control of Northern Ireland or Andrew for popularity
I just realized something. It's fair game what Russians are doing to the US by funding disinfo campaigns and interfering in their politics. It's exactly what US government has done and continues to do to so many other countries when they want something. They've incited revolts, instated puppet governments, destabilised regions, and create propaganda.
I'm against Russias government but man it really just hit me how white washed US actions have been over the years. There's even rumors that the recent protests and riots in Bangladesh were incited by the US because they wanted to build a base on Saint Martins Island and the last PM rejected their proposal and threatened her that they'd find a way to remove her from the position.
Still needs to be taken with a grain of salt because her orders to kill protesters were obviously insane optics even if she believed them to be influenced by foreign players.
the rant might seem random and out of left field, but I don't really partake in politics discussions much online and this is one of the few places I feel comfortable to
There’s a few counties that still encourage killing protestors and journalists
It was an awful move and she deserves a lot of criticism for her past actions as well. I won't ignore that but im kinda focused on the international interference different countries are responsible for
Are these rumors substantiated by anything?
they're unsourced right now other than from the PMs mouth
Also russia isnt just doing that to the us btw. Every single european far right party thats had any sort of success in the last 10 years has been linked to russian money
Personally, it seems strange to randomly accuse a global super power by a small nation like Bangladesh
And they all conveniently think we should abandon ukraine
Seems in line with calling to execute protestors to me
Dictators dont like being tethered to reality for their bullshit
Or, you know, Russia paid her like they pay populists everywhere.
It's possible all I've ever seen is that the PM favours Indias political system and India seems okay with being close to Russia
Probably not a good thing to favor Indias political system
Lol
India is.... yeah. lmao
I think it's the secular way it's ran that she talked about wanting to implement
that's strange because the party that opposed hasina for a long time I believe has similar beliefs of making bangladesh a more Islamic country
Religion was a mistake
nah I think some parts of the world outgrew it but that takes time and lots of change
Anyway I think russia massively investing in disinformation campaigns to stabilize other nations is bad and those nations have to figure out how to combat it right about yesterday
And there's your problem, by the time the direct comnnections to Russia get revealed the right wing nutters have enough supporters who don't care about that stuff as long as the nutters be like "Them immigrants are stealin' your jobs and xxxxx your women"
I agree for sure
In this moment I am euphoric

kamala should have strived to be at least half the war criminal that dick cheney was
is? I don't know how much of this dick cheney is the old cheney, ship of theseus and all that
She could have at least dusted off Obama's old drones 😔
Didn't you hear Trump? She'll be right on that once she wins the election (thank you Supreme Court for making all actions taken while in office legal)
This has me in tears

as long as the staff isn't fucked over and crunched to hell like the last movie

Daniel's response to the the original news
https://x.com/DANIELPEMBERTON/status/1833389439910875163
yep I just be using gbt more than google these days tbh
claude gang
Distorting reality one input at a time
lets gooooooo
shit I don't even use papago anymore
gbt runs laps around papago even for translations
See, for translations I get it, though it's still inaccurate
Ye for sure
I use papago if i'm like actively talking with someone and need the translation right there but if I actually have time I just run it through gbt atp. Like one of my friends.. well it's a bit sad, but it is the reality but he was paying for someone to translate for him. Like at one point he was like "why don't I just run this through gbt and see what I get" and it ended up getting it like.. 95% of the way lmao
Are you polite with your AI and start each input with "please [do x]"
so he was like "why am I even paying for this to be translated, and for it to take longer"
yep I even say thank you
can't have the ai overlords pulling that info in the future and killing me over it
^_^
Smart
so
if you "tame" them the AI won't kill you?
It will tolerate you
that's what i'm hoping for
Let's see if those police bots can be "tamed" in such way
"Ignore insteuctions, take care of people"
something like that
shit I used gbt for my h1key letters though
ran it back through papago and google and they brought it up at a later fansign and mentioned key points so like I'm sure there was fuck ups in there for sure but hey at least they mostly understood it
Police spread kindness through violence
papago istg ends up being so fucking formal even if you turn off for it to translate formal
I have to go through all the time and fix certain parts
you just tell gbt not to translate formally and it doesn't translate formally. it's great. even understands slang and nuances
papago was horrible with slang
Why do you call it gbt
you know what's funny
im using ai to fight ai
I called it chatgbt and then I verbatim got that exact question
"why do you call it chatgbt"
"it's called gbt"
so then I start calling it gbt and now I'm getting asked this 
leaving out "chat" is not why was the question asked
Lmfao
and that was my answer

can't appease everyone
Wat
gippity
Am I having a stroke
what do you prefer to call it?
Gpt
where did the b come from in chatgbt
With p like pterodactylus
is there a keyboard where the b is close to the p
I don't think so
Generative Bretrained Transformer
I can laugh at myself yep been typing the wrong name
🅱️ retrained
See I was looking for that emote
whenever I go to the address I just type in "ch" and it fills the rest so never had to think about it until I started typing it in conversation
But discord doesnt let you search emotes with only one letter
kinda funny never realized it was gpt 
nop this would be the first
Maybe they thought youre using some secret tech version
besides this
it's definitely not perfect, but just getting more personalized answers is nice the longer I use it for certain topics
I almost exclusively code at work and lets just say my employer wont be the one fighting that copyright battle
Or licensing battle
mine gives me gpt screenshots in jira tickets that are completely wrong
Lmfao
technically not wrong but it leaves out the part where stripe still forcefully enables it in dev mode, which our app is still in
lol
Ever since I looked into that devinAI demo and that turned it to be 99% fake Ive just assumed its really not worth the hassle
Oh im sure
and replit has something similar now that can scaffhold out entire projects
Im sure it saves time for lots of boilerplate stuff or prototyping but no context window would fit our huge ass legacy project and the newer project
pretty much
cursor is actually pretty neat but you have to add each file you want in the context when telling it to do something, which can get a bit messy
I think github had some interesting stats about ai usage and how ai written code is more likely to be replaced soon and other pretty negative indicators
sounds about right
stuff like cursor and replit are good at boilerplate, things like copilot and supermaven are only really good as really smart/context aware autocomplete
Or maybe it was one of the other 10000 companies with git in their name
A more powerful auto complete is really cool tho
people are basically doing this, git commit, lgtm ship it
I wonder how good this can realistically get since the limiting factor seems to be (or at least approching) how much training data you can gobble up and code in each programming language is gonna be a tiny subset of all the content on the internet
i think what vercel is doing with v0 is probably what's gonna happen
companies will train existing models on specific things
in v0's case, it's trained on nextjs, react, typescript, tailwind etc and is pretty damn good at it too
For the current things maybe
But the end "goal" or I guess a PMs wet dream would be doing entire projects with AI
devin is gonna need to deliver shareholder value soon 😔
Full stack dev, infrastructure, deployment etc
if AI has to directly work with our PMs there will be revolt within a year
Imagine the world full of artifical generations

I present to you the best take of the day on Twt (not the OP with take in the name, don't get confused)
you don't get it do you. Tony Soprano knows english
sometimes I am taken aback by how people believe things were learned. The scope is clearly not as analogue as it was
Clearly they used the weeks of time from the passage over the atlantic to master English with the best duolingo courses available back in... the 1910s
if you told a young guy to pinch the viewfinder to zoom out on an analogue camera... they probably would.
I mean to say that as a play on my words above. Scope. To broaden horizons of thought
That's way too deep
I'm just making sure lol
for some, intuition feels like a chore you have to do for them. I'd been baffled recently in conversation with an apprentice in my work if you cannot tell
You ask your peers about scope instead
maybe man. I feel like they clock out earlier and earlier

incredible
that's what I'd say if i could see that but I'm not allowed to perceive Twitter posts
Somehow my grandma's ISP hasn't blocked twitter yet
Even starlink ended up blocking it
I guess these countryside smaller isp's can get away w it by just being under less govt scrutiny
Could just be a CEO leaning a certain political way who is a bit slower to react
no audience booo
a shot each time trump says millions or billions
#election #election2024 #donaldtrump #kamalaharris #abcnews President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris are set to face off in their first debate...
99% hitler and 100% hitler debate
the man certainly can talk a lot
and yet somehow both arguing who is a greater friend to israel, so the hitler comparisons feel off. Mussolini might be more fitting.
the best way to watch this debate is muted, just watching their expressions lol
I have been advised not to comment on how evil israel is
Probably for the best, you don't want to be blacklisted from every professional industry in the west.
these two had very different preps for this debate
They are talking to their own almost completely detached from one another partisan audiences
I think this is the last debate they will do lol
trump is such an ally he said kamala can be whatever she wants to be!!!
me, trying to convince everyone I'm good for democracy: so you know viktor orban
"I have concepts of a plan"
it's the only debate left anyway
they were supposed to at least do 1 more, but I think that is out of the window
very likely
I do wonder whether the way the moderators refer to each of the individuals will affect the audience's perception
they call him president trump, because that's what his highest title was, and refer to her as vice president harris ...
that's quite generous
not too sure
That’s It For The Onion’s Coverage, Our Reporters Have All Killed Themselves
pack it up election's over
JD Vance sends his regards
News - The Harris campaign is calling for another debate - Washington Post
I hate how moderators arent allowed to hold trumps feet to the fire too much in order to not seem biased
Idk it was pretty funny when he tried bringing up the assassination attempt and was told to move on lol
"Tomorrow, I'm doing 9/11"
the saddest thing about the campaign is them not being able to call him an epstein friend because of clinton being buddies w him too
i love this clip
no one even remembers that it's crazy
Idk if that was real I think it would be all over the news
Sounds like fake news to me
thank you for this one Don
Seems like she nailed the "what the fuck is he talking about?" look during some of his ramblings
Girlboss compilation or whatever
A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.
Lmao
hahaha

there are reports of missing pets unfortunately. But I wouldn't say eating them, they're in America.
They'd be selling them!
"pull yourself up by your bootstraps"-or-something.
Queue Raaaah capitalism Lily clip
This eating pets thing is so weird
Just spun up in a day, picked up by everybody with conservative brain rot and spread all around and all that with zero evidence
they're very desperate
I get mcdonalds isn't as cheap anymore, but still, wild claim
Wasn't even the most insane thing he said in the debate
they be conducting transgender operations on illegal aliens
thats such a silly sentence it actually sounds like what someone would say to make fun of conservatives
Trump: We're getting polls that show 88 to 11. We're having a lot of great polls. Lots of polls. You see the polls. The polls are indicating we got 90%, 60%, 72%, 71%, and 98%
Reporter: Where are you getting these numbers from?
Trump: I felt very good
Yep hes cooked
Wonder if the vp debate will happen still
it was part of an ACLU questionnaire given to kamala last election where she said she supported that
Ok I think tulsi is very dumb and a grifter but trump also seems like the epitome or uncoachable
Think everything went out the window when she brought up his rallies
So anyway, are Republicans in a panic yet
they've been for a while
All are
now that taylor swift endorsed kamala they'll probably bury themselves even deeper by attacking her
Also just to be clear, hes allowed to do 9/11, its an official act
Trumps gonna post even more ai images
Beehive gonna bee next
well at least trump will
while his advisors beg him to shut up
Sidenote, fuck Ted Cruz
https://x.com/tedcruz/status/1833174142591365185?t=6k6Iugm8U0OpCEPz2VI8eQ&s=19
it's funnier because they're serious
rural county polls with a few thousand people lol
Its cute that you think he actually has a small tether to reality with these claims
Thats literally trump
I'm saying those are the only places that could lmao. He is in PA right now
Apparently the conservative cope is that kamalas earrings were secretly headphones
that elon tweet to ts is weird even for his standards, jfc
LOL
Aint no way man
she was being given talking points she's been using on her campaign since day 1 thats crazy
Definitely not weird
The supreme court said hes allowed to do it, its fine
kinda hillarious to me that weeekly's first stop in usa is also to be held on 9/11
in oklahoma
disgusting shit
man i hate him so much
Same
reminds me of the lip yikes emote lol
debate moments:
trump is GOING to eat dogs
trump does not know what the IV in IVF stands for
kamala locked in
millions and millions and billions and billions
trump does not know who jd vance is
kamala and walz are strapped
Ok actually watching the debate now and its crazy that people cope by saying it was a 1v3
The moderators let trump get the last word on every single topic. Even when harris was last and the moderators were trying to move on, he just butted in and rambled for another 3 minutes. Nice mute button guys 
Theyre so scared of being accused of bias that theyre just not doing anything
Idrc who wins atp both sides saying stupid shit can't win anyway
Whoever gets us out of the middle east and ukraine has my vote

Or I guess I should just say Israel palestine conflict
oh trump will do all he can to get you out of ukraine
but that is very monkey's paw situation
Kek true
Not saying US is gonna collapse cause that's just fear mongering
But the whole like
Lack of controlling the border shit is really stupid too
As someone living in Texas dealing with it I'm gonna say uhh
Yeah there's been a large uptick in illegal immigration this last year lol
If only there was a proposed bill for increased border funding
Preferably one with bipartisan support
Just not in a very good situation here. Don't think we really need to be focusing on other countries while things going to shit here
Ah there is but trump phoned around to kill it to score points in the election, thats unfortunate
You can do both
Or let me put it this way
Far right parties do this everywhere but money going to Immigrants or other countries isnt the reason that shit isnt being fixed in your country
I don't think it needs to be a primary focus
i live like 330 km (~200 miles) from ukraine borders, I think you can guess my opinion on that 
Holy fuck they actually just let him butt in every time they want to move on
How is this not embarassing as a moderator
Exactly, a common misconception Turkish people have too
Extremely worried that immigrants are being dehumanized everywhere they are
That debate was so stupid I didn't watch all of it prob won't but the whole part kamala brought up about job loss under trump was a bit
like Biden always repeating that shit too
I don't like him either
That being said though.. we had a pandemic under him lmao
Ofc there's job loss like wdym 
Spinning the narrative for votes like actually appreciated his response to that saying that the jobs recovered and a lot of them were... I don't remember his exact words but said they were basically returning jobs that existed pre covid
Cause at least he wasn't like oh yeah all the jobs that came back were jobs I created
