Still from the 1941 film "Love on the Dole", with the unfortunate subtitle "She's a strange lassie's arsehole".

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

(It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

I blocked her on Xitter because all she did was talk about how unsafe it was for Jews in the UK, and how immigrants did not do enough to fit in(, which Xitter' algorithm showed me all the time).

Obviously, she will convert to Islam and start posting only in Arabic any second now...

The same people who complain the country is full complain about flats being built.
Some of them just like to moan, but most of them are just unthinkingly repeating what they have been told.

They never challenge people who claim there is an immigration problem, that the country is full, or that immigrants get more than them.
When they don't do that, all they are doing is helping to spread misinformation.

To stop this, we need to stop giving far-right lies a platform.

Now that several major countries have said they will recognise the Palestinian state, the propaganda the genocide supporters are spreading is becoming more desperate, and their accusations of antisemitism are becoming increasingly unhinged.
This is a sign they know they have lost.

Countries that have apartheid policies, lebanraum policies, and are committing genocide are not democracies.

Go fuck yourself Nazi scum.

Police seek to question Tommy Robinson after St Pancras assault Transport police are investigating an incident at the London station it says left a man with serious injuries.

Why is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon allowed a passport?
He was directing violent riots from abroad last year, and now he's leaving the country while riots are brewing - and seemingly after being involved in a violent incident, again.

"Tommy Robinson" needs to be proscribed.

"Israel refuses to admit they are committing genocide when all the evidence show they are" is not a debate.
It's a criminal trying to deny the crime they got caught doing.

Sheffield City Council have found it necessary to deny on FB that a hotel in an area of the city is used to house asylum seekers.

The people trying to instigate violent racist riots seem to be hard at work.
Time for the authorities to take action to stop them.

The obstacle is capitalism.
Without ending capitalism there will not be enough money for UBI.

I'll add that UBI is massively pushed by the same people who are proponents of "AI".
It is not a solution, it is a distraction.
And, no, UBI has never been tested properly.
Small trials are not relevant.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills listening to a radio 4 news item on asylum hotels.

There’s this weird theatre that they’re doing where they’re pretending that racist rioters will be pacified by greater provision of sheltered housing for British citizens. It’s mad. Completely deluded.

LLMs are useless for translations.
Someone else pointed out they don't work for summaries.

You seem to be blind to how LLMs are a dead end.
We absolutely do not need them at all.

The LLM bubble will burst soon.
It already has when it comes to reputation.

That seems to be the one question that is hardly ever talked about when it comes to inflation.

Both of those images are literally Nazi propaganda.

Oh, no, the Gestapo officers are having a hard time at work...

Anyone in ICE who has not resigned by now should go to prison when democracy is restored in the USA.

Incredibly important report on AI training & copyright released today by the European Commission. It gets lots right, slamming the idea that creators should be required to opt-out of having their works used for free by AI companies.

It says:

- Generative AI must be based on opt-in consent

It can't both have done it without human help, and with language guidance.
Which is it?

Is there not a single person at the con who is not a clueless right-wing wankpuffin?

I am actually amazed at how you once again have managed to completely miss what has been talked about comprehensively in SFFH.
Well...that's actually a lie.
I have noticed SMOFs are fans of conventions, not SFFH.

You have to be a "special" kind of genius to react to widespread condemnation of your Generative Algorithm showing itself to be a useless racist with announcing you are putting in the cars whose sales have already tanked after you did a Nazi salute.

We are talking about people who support genocide and ethnic cleansing.
Those peoole are per definition Nazis.

Nazi appeasers are also Nazis.
You are a genocide supporting Nazi - you have chosen to tell the world that in this thread.

And, that will be the last time I reply to your deflections.

You are in a thread discussing how people who support genocide, accusing people of being gatekeepers and splitters.
And then you pretend you are the reasonable person in the thread.

You are presenting yourself as a genocide supporting Nazi out to deflect from the discussion.

Imagine being so brainwashed by Nazi propaganda that you think people that don't like genocide supporting Nazis are the ones who are in the wrong...

I mean, you don't have to.

The only point you are making is that you think you can call yourself a leftie if you are a genocide supporting Nazi.

There is no "splitting" involved in excluding genocide supporting Nazis from solidarity movements, it is a necessity.
