Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Charlie Kirk shooting site ‘recreation’ at TPUSA event sparks backlashEnglish
9·8 hours agoI really wish that TPUSA would just fade into obscurity, but I guess Erika is getting fat checks from Republicans now. She sure has been on a media warpath.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Amazon Sponsors AI Energy Summit Featuring Climate Deniers2·2 days agoIt’s crazy how fast I switched from praising Amazon’s carbon neutral initiatives to outright hating them. So much has changed in the past few years.

Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.@slrpnk.net•Trump move to dismantle climate agency blows up Senate funding deal20·2 days agoInteresting how they suddenly can’t find money to fund anything that helps humanity but they can invest billions of dollars in fucking defense-related AI R&D. Anyone with a brain can see that cutting agency funding will do nothing for the deficit if you’re just yeeting money at Alex Karp to make AI-enabled bombs or whatever.
I’m tired of the government pretending that the deficit actually means anything.

Technology@lemmy.world•Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdogEnglish
14·3 days agoI think part of this is lawmakers not understanding the gravity of what they’re suggesting. Besides, most of these apps have some sort of backdoor built-in so they can decrypt messages if required in legal proceedings. Ripping E2EE out of everything is an insane assertion to make, and would make the Internet an even more dangerous place than it already is.

Technology@lemmy.world•The AI Backlash Is Here: Why Backlash Against Gemini, Sora, ChatGPT Is Spreading in 2025 - NewsweekEnglish
671·4 days agoIt’s good to see the sentiment growing. Anecdotally, there are non-technical people in my circle that use LLMs frequently as search engine replacements or to do stupid shit like generate pictures and emojis. I hope that begins to decline with the general sentiment called out in this article.
The sheer number of useless LLM integrations in every website, every mobile app, and hell, even smart TVs is insane. I feel like it’s causing people very real feature fatigue. And all of the Internet content and advertising slop is making the takeover seem so much worse.
Edit: Grammar, formatting

politics @lemmy.world•Obama encourages Democrats to focus on winning back House, not "tactical differences"
25·5 days ago100%. I think Biden’s “status quo” messaging only worked because of the chaos that was Trump’s first term and COVID. That is not a platform to run on when Trump pushed the country into full-blown fascism. The pendulum needs to swing in the other direction. The only thing I fear is that those in charge of the DNC have proven they are not interested in supporting social democrats or democratic socialists for the presidency. We sorely need a third party that is taken seriously.

politics @lemmy.world•Jake Tapper says Trump has health issue that ‘they’re not telling us’ about
6·6 days agoI really don’t understand why they always feel the need to cover up presidential health issues. I know the answer is “national security,” but how exactly is it secure to have a man in obvious mental and physical decline going around “shaking hands” with other world leaders? Just own up to it and have him die at Mar-a-lago playing golf like he probably wants. That was the whole point of having JD as a backup, right?

I’m sure the continued energy demands and carbon emissions will have no serious repercussions. /s
