The “Democratic” party is going to install two corrupt leaders that have a lower approval rating than Trump. Stop pretending we live in a democracy. We live under a dictatorship where both parties serve capital and war.

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language. The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words. The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

Watch as they laughed and tried to silence George Carlin in the 90s. No-one's laughing now. #GeorgeCarlin

Protests have erupted in Paraguay after a solvency crisis with Ueno Bank left 60% of the people unable to access their money and savings accounts. As one protester put it: “They left us without money, without anything, and now they want to kill us too.”

The outrage in Paraguay is massive, 60% of people have lost all their money because the National Bank collapsed due to the corrupt Right Wing Government who were robbing it. There are even people in wheelchairs confronting riot police. Take back Paraguay from the thieves.

Ppl always forget that the 13th Amendment allows slavery: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, EXCEPT as a punishment for crime" I think this is why we have the largest prison pop. on Earth: 1.8-2 M ppl => 5% of Earth's total pop. but ~20% of the world's prisoners

For anyone confused, here's a sketch about it
kinda reminds me of how if you think about it for more than two seconds you realize that the entire economic system we live in was built around slavery and has been scrambling for slavery-replacement for like 150 years

Bye! We don't need AI. We survived for hundreds of thousands of years without it. The issue with AI is that it's stumping human creativity and it's also destroying the environment. Why would people embrace that?

Enough is enough. Hakeem Jeffries actively opposes Medicare for All because he and most of his party takes bribes from big insurance companies. Join the more than 300,000 people who have signed the petition below to Stop Jeffries from becoming Speaker!
270,000 people have already signed the petition to STOP HAKEEM JEFFRIES from becoming speaker. Democrats are not going to get away with their corporatist agenda anymore. The people are waking up and done with the corruption in both parties!!! c.org/hGcqfLkdSK

It’s almost like there’s an entire business model available for someone to build products that you can buy and they don’t track shit Imagine, you own it and it asks you nothing 🤔
