I have no good references that aren't boring propaganda from state media... Search China Daily for stories about ed tech

Or more broadly, search for "Ed tech" or "educational technology"

I think our "AI" was mostly BS, but I guess it had its niche.

Oh that reminds me... When I worked at state media, we ran stories about AI facial recognition at the winter Olympics. The stories claimed that they could identify more than 99 percent of people wearing COVID masks (I suspect this may be an exaggeration, as airport immigration officials and train station officials would make people remove masks and smile for cameras)

Also, just remembered: During my time at state media, I recall reading some Xi Jinping quote along the lines of "Whoever has the best AI will control the future"

Punch nazis

This shit legitimately scares me.

Will any Democrats stand up for this guy. I get they won't because they're all bought by AIPAC

Fun fact: this guy's department chair is an Israeli "former" spy

Truly you're doing the gods' work

Fuckin bingo

Ah I gotcha. I mean, yeah, I broadly agree with you

Neoliberalism IS a right-wing point of view

Yes it's astroturfing

Neoliberalism is a constricting view

Ugh I'd rather have fewer neoliberals than more Lemmy content. They're tiresome

My company in China added AI to its products basically to receive government subsidies.

They introduced it into courseware to track student faces and tell parents whether kids were enjoying lessons, paying attention, etc etc. It was weird to see in action. I used the software and acted like a "bad student" to see what it would say about my face and lack of attention.

I'm also a voice actor. They tried to replace me with AI voices but the voices in 2021 were stuck in the uncanny valley and clients complained.

The company pretty much went belly-up when Beijing introduced the Double Reduction policy. I wonder what became of the their software? And I wonder if they ever made an AI version of my voice

When did Republicans become the party of defunding the police?

There are definitely others, neoliberal/Democrat defenders who will drag you into endless circular arguments

I wish someone would treat Netanyahu the way people are treated by his regime

In America, kindness is radical

Elaborate?

Can I say "I hope Elon Musk dies and I can have sex with his corpse"?

When has the US government ever done anything serious about climate change?

No healthcare for Americans, no public transport, cuts to education, cuts to VA, but always money for Israel

Fuck Israel. Fuck AIPAC. Fuck Biden. Fuck Trump.

This shit is actually terrifying. This shit makes me support terrorism against the US government
