His skin does not look that healthy recently, plus he's got the signature AI stare into the irrelevant distance despite clearly presenting something to the camera. His suit is a little too shiny too. No dead giveaways, but if this was a photo shop job, I'd bet that GenAI was one of the tools used in that manipulation toolbox

Is this not just "the free market of ideas"? Which has the same pitfalls as the free market of money where if consumers are not educated and motivated to prune out bad actors, the market is easily subverted by malicious actors? Relying on people to regulate their information diets is betting on individuals with limited resources and motivation to defend themselves and the collective against concerted, well-resourced, and well-organized efforts to abuse the market of ideas because there is immense money and power to gain from doing so

Pretty sure this kind of game mechanic (expose yourself to an enemy attack for a skill check that regains health) can be traced back at least to the Dodgeball DLC for Outside™. Game mechanics are like TV tropes, they echo what came before them, almost without exception

Just open YouTube in incognito mode and search a game title probably works. YouTube's algorithm loves serving up manosphere style content like that like my dog loves eating my other dog's poop. It's disturbing on both fronts

I read a bit further. Definitely got the vibe that AI had a hand in editing the prose as well, it felt like half a story and half a pros/cons list. There's some technical content in there that is salvageable, but as a piece of writing, it holds up to that stamp of quality, IMO

Doesn't mean it isn't AI-generated

I can't tell if I'm learning German by osmosis or if I'm just adapting to some hybrid Deutschelish dialect from Lemmy that has no use in the real world

Except what you said is imprison him. You called for an innocent man to be imprisoned. Are you 100% certain that you aren't letting a subconscious bias about his innocence into your thoughts by using that language?

Yep, or any other etf or fund that tracks an ex US index, if folks don't want to give their money/share votes to Vanguard. I'm unfortunately not well versed in brokerages outside the US, so no fund suggestions, but VXUS tracks the FTSE Global All Cap Ex US index, MSCI also has a World ex US index, it shouldn't be too hard to find an ex US index tracking fund at a reputable brokerage of your choice
