With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

Just a reminder to everyone that it’s fun to hope it’s aliens, but Occam’s Razor suggests it isn’t and the real answer is likely something naturally occurring.

12 people found him guilty 34 times. 408 times guilty!

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user’s home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to “trust” bans by admins from other instances.

Here’s one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795 I always see them popping up under random@kbin.social

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with “buy online drugs here” links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they’re being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It’s a difficult problem to solve.

and in a stunning failure of corporate communication

This is my main takeaway from this situation. Seems like the casino knew it was getting a deal too good to be true and CF went straight to strong arm tactics instead of inviting the other side to the table to discuss the issue and find a way forward that’s good for both parties.

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of “Here’s an AI summary of search results”. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

Gigan is a Russian troll. Don’t ask me for anymore details, I’m not interested in debating random people online. If you can’t find my reasons for saying this yourself you might be in a bubble and should expand your sources of information.

Which I think bolsters the argument for anti-doomerism (yes, I’m making that a word now).

Appreciate you posting the primary source for the article

“say Chinese state media and commentators.”

No bias to be seen here

If someone walks into your house and shoots your family, would you want to know why? Would it be important to you to understand their motives?

We really don’t tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

I have the same experience as you. My local theater chain has good seating, plenty of screens for multiple options, people are usually very good at following proper theater etiquette. I know I could watch it at home, but I go for the atmosphere. Sitting there with no other distractions, having a shared experience with strangers…you can’t fully replicate that at home.

It’s a shame not everyone has the same opportunity at their theater.

You’re looking at it wrong. This is an emergency supply drop that will be found 100 years from now. A moon base will be in critical need of a part that can’t get delivered on time from Earth and someone miraculously versed on the engineering specs of this particular lander will have a flash of insight that the one component they need to save everyone happens to already be on the moon.

Or so that’s what I gather will happen based on most sci-fi shows/movies.

I agree. I finally talked to a nutritionist and learned what it actually means to “track my macros”. Staying away from processed food is absolutely the key to healthier living.

Wtf is up with the proliferation of “slams” in social media headlines? Hell, the article in question doesn’t even say “slams”, it says “condemns”.
