What actual law is supposedly being broken here? You are allowed to hold all of those opinions and advocate for them under the constitution. The only people breaking the law here are Bondi and the FBI.

Ofcourse you're right, but countless innocent people have already been detained by ICE with repercussions.

 

I remember this news before, but is this official? I fucking knew it was only a matter of time before gestapo started rounding people up. Stay safe out there yall. Be careful of your digital footprint.

 

So anyone not MAGA is a terrorist.

Even a lot of MAGA could get caught up with how insanely broad and vague this is. Like imagine MAGA folks complaining about prices and that being declared anti-capitalist.

Hilarious how much Trump used to criticize Putin, but now runs his government just like Putin would

Pam Bondi absolutely does not give a shit about free speech or the Constitution. Remember just a few months ago she was saying she would go after what she deemed "hate speech," which even some conservatives gave her flak about.

Wild that these guys would just disagree with Nepenthe and Messofanego like this instead of supporting the state clamping down on hate speech.

Not saying I want them coming after me or anything, but this FBI is pretty fucking laughable at this point. Bondi and Patel aren't gonna keep me awake at night.

They would love to have Sentinels, wouldn't they.

Just like my animes.

This went under the radar yesterday with everything else, but this is very scary and the next step to putting trans people as a direct target of the government and ICE.

Not saying I want them coming after me or anything, but this FBI is pretty fucking laughable at this point. Bondi and Patel aren't gonna keep me awake at night.

Bondi and Patel no. ICE...a lot moreso. Plus Patel may be replaced soon by someone more competent.

Just gotta be able to outrun those bum ICE agents I guess.

Love the "ICE" mention because it's their fear buzzword, when ICE doesn't prosecute anybody.  

Fucking stupid fascist bitch.

                     misogyny?
 

Doesn't even have a trans shield:

The dream would be that these fucking Nazis would be on trial and do jail time once a Dem is in office.
Of course that's just a dream, unlikely to ever happen.

All I'm gonna say is if someone wants to Luigi these fascists, im not gonna do the governments job for them.

I really do hope the Dems can take back power and have the spine to give these scumbags what they deserve.

Like Palpatine said, if the Dems take back power, these motherfuckers are all going under the prison.

First amendment applies to literal nazis but not everyone else I guess now?

Not worried in the slightest purely due to incompetency and I say that as a trans woman who knows the game

Edit: don't mean to sound dismissive mind you more that we've known this was the game since the beginning of the year. But even if you arrested each and every one of us then you still couldn't snuff us out because we are born every day. And I for one don't fear an administration who's going after everyone especially when they are all infighting and fracturing

This thread could have been saved a lot of ignorant speculation if ClickyCal had quoted the actual relevant part of the story instead of everything else:

“For some culpable actors, such as certain Antifa-aligned extremists, their animating principle is adherence to the types of extreme viewpoints on immigration, radical gender ideology, and anti-American sentiment listed below, with a willingness to use violence against law-abiding citizenry to serve those beliefs,” the memo states.

The memo instructs prosecutors to consider a broad range of criminal statutes, including obstruction during civil disorders, conspiracy against rights, and providing material support for terrorism

Literally what previous administrations have done to expand terrorism statutes to include "white supremacy", the "alt-right", incels, etc. Things completely endorsed by Era. This never makes advocating anything illegal.

The only thing it means is that when you commit federal crimes they might hit you with terrorism charges so you plead to lower ones.

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

edit: For the record because I'm sure someone will suggest otherwise due to my downplaying this just because it's Trump, I'm against this because I'm against all usage of terrorism statutes in this way. And their general existence. And sentencing enhancements more broadly. Era posters in general, and some of these specifically, support all of this. Their complaint is that people other than themselves are allowed to have turns in government too.

Remember when they cheered that Brazil jailed some comedian for jokes?

Training AI on resetera? Shoot me

Somebody should let them know their posts are going to be used to train AI. 

The AI shit is really just the NFT nonsense all over again and I imagine it will take the same course: everyone and their grandmother will talk about using it so they can raise funding and then, once they discover it's bullshit, it will vanish quietly as if nobody ever bought into it in the first place.

Unlike Zeo I know to shut up and listen when a black woman is talking.

Look only a despicable woman would see something in her husband and brother beyond their crimes.

Especially when her husbands crime was when he was a minor and may have involved pleading to something he didn't actually do as many young Black men unfortunately do:

Minaj's husband Kenneth Petty was convicted of attempted rape at age 16 in 1995, serving four years in prison and registering as a sex offender upon release.[664] When Minaj and her husband moved to California, he failed to update his residence on the sex offender registration and was indicted in February 2020; he registered in the state's database by the following month.[665] In August 2021, Jennifer Hough, the woman who accused Petty when they were both 16, filed a lawsuit against the couple alleging harassment, intimidation and infliction of emotional distress, and requested a $20 million default judgement when Minaj did not respond to the lawsuit in time;[666][667] the court declined it, declaring that Minaj was not in default.[668] Minaj filed a response, calling the allegations "blatant falsehoods" and including evidence of discrepancies in Hough's story.[669] Minaj stated that she "never asked [Hough] to change her story", "never offered her any money in return for a statement", and "did not threaten her with any type of harm". She stated that, after her husband's indictment, Hough contacted her via a mutual acquaintance, and in their phone call, indirectly asked Minaj for a payoff, "mistakenly believ[ing] that I would pay her money to take back her accusation against my husband". Minaj said she responded by telling Hough that "the indictment was my husband's problem, not mine, and that he would have to live with the consequences of having chosen years ago to plead guilty to a crime which he did not commit", and that Hough said "I'm not saying it didn't happen, but maybe it was just a misunderstanding".[670][671] Hough voluntarily dismissed the case against Minaj.[672]

basically all you need to ask yourself is this: could hungover college students use NFTs to do their homework for them an hour before it was due?

how the fuck could you expect AI to ever go away when opportunistic students know an "I win" button exists floating around out there somewhere?

RIP. There's a video floating around, it's not really confirmed I guess but if it's real he just killed someone with his reckless driving...

Looks like he was speeding recklessly and lost control in a corner sliding into a concrete barrier. I only hope they were dead on impact. In less than a second they were gone.



Be careful on the road people. It's not worth it to gamble with your life for a pointless thrill.



And do not seek out the video. I shouldn't have. Just absolutely sad.

I'm sorry but that video is just crazy, speeding like that on a public road is a no.



RIP to a legendary creator but also, what a stupid way to go.

Wasn't there a Ree user not too long ago that uploaded vids of him being a reckless driver and got a fine for being so reckless?  I do recall the admins and mods deleting the thread

It's not good that students are using it, but they are using it. As are many others for a variety of reasons (for example: creating sexy pictures of you ending the Potato bloodline).

No one is using NFTs. They're tech-bros trading cards, no one outside of tech bros have any use for them and that will never change.

At the same time, feels that the disdain for it is real, this last game dev CEO shareholders talks seem more concerned in assuring it’s being used rather than real excitement outside office and research work. We talked about how “normies don’t care  ” and then McDonalds pulls out of air an AI commercial because enough people bitched.   

Obviously, at the end, the world is going to adapt to the an future with GenAI, just saying that future is probably not going to be like either the cheerleaders or doomsayers say it’s going to be.

You're bad at paraphrasing his points. He wasn't saying "because AI helps you cheat in school you'll do well in life." He was saying that because AI provides instant, tangible convenience and short-term benefits, it's not analogous to NFTs, which did nothing. You pointing out "cheaters never prosper" is irrelevant to his point. Cheaters have always and will always exist, because many people are short-term decision makers.

I've seen this retarded comparison a number of times from them but it seems to gloss over the fact that AI is legitimately useful to people right now. They can argue all they want about the ethics of it all but an NFT never made my job easier.

But what I said  is that is a bad defense of AI for people not thrilled with it.  

I get that “is actually useful unlike NFT” but the first example he comes in his mind is “cheating” when he is also fighting the perception of “AI is immoral”. 

Why not say “it’s helping students and investigators to organize research or make mental maps of research and ideas.”

Under Vincke, Larian has been pushing hard on generative AI, although the CEO says the technology hasn't led to big gains in efficiency. He says there won't be any AI-generated content in Divinity — "everything is human actors; we're writing everything ourselves" — but the creators often use AI tools to explore ideas, flesh out PowerPoint presentations, develop concept art and write placeholder text.

The use of generative AI has led to some pushback at Larian, "but I think at this point everyone at the company is more or less OK with the way we're using it," Vincke said.

I love this quote. Essentially  “is useful I guess, took a lot to sell it to the studio.”  Honestly, is good they found a middle ground where is useful while the rank and file employees are comfortable using it. 

But you are right, GenAI are not NFT… just have a lot of parallels like creating an PC parts shortage.
