But the tariffs also pay the tax cuts that allow rich people to spend more and to invest more.
The wealthy don't use their own money to do anything. They use their capital, to back loans, that they then loan to a corporation they created, in return for monthly fees from the corporation (To pay the loan), plus payment back as a loan.
This protects the person from any risk, as the corporation now has all the risk of repayment, and the individual has no risk in it.
yeah but like, legally, is this even a valid argument?
Personally, legal is only what the law allows the wealthy to do, and provides punishments for the working class.
Morally, that's what you're doing when you use AI to generate CSAM. Its the same idea why we ban all pre-created CSAM, as well, because you are victimizing the person every single time.
i dont see how this is even relevant, unless the person in question is a minor, a victim, or becoming a victim,
It makes them a victim.
But i don’t know of any laws that prevent you from doing that, unless it’s explicitly to do with something like blackmail, extortion, or harassment.
The law exists to protect the ruling class while not binding them, and to bind the working class without protecting them.
Does a facial structure recognition model use the likeness of other people?
Yes.
Even though it can detect any person that meets the requirements established by its training data? There is no suitable method to begin to breakdown at what point that persons likeness begins, and at what point it ends. it’s simply an impossible task.
Exactly. So, without consent, it shouldn't be used. Periodt.
gaza: trump has said directly that he wants to level gaza and take it over for the US;
Biden was leveling Gaza, and Harris said she'd keep giving Israel free reign to engage in a genocide.
internationally: people will die in ukraine; perhaps a lot of people, and who knows whether the conflict will escalate further from here given the fragmentation trump has and will cause
That was going to happen, sooner, or later. It was going to escalate, because the aggressor was given very little reason to NOT escalate it.
however you slice it, trump is going to cause significantly more deaths…
Honestly, the raw numbers will likely be about the same. The difference is where. Right now, it looks like "mostly in the US".
i understand for sure the argument that if you vote for democrats anyway, where’s the line? when do you punish them so that they learn?
And this is why you never support things like genocide, or stripping people of their rights. Not just when it's the other party doing it.
granted, i’m not a US citizen so my “support” is limited to trying to convince people on the internet to not fuck over the world
Its a great lesson for other countries to not rely on the US, a fascist state,.
I dunno, I'd rather rip the bandaid off, because keep going down the "slow decay" route just means we kept strengthening the machine that is bringing us fascism, making it a more solidly in place system...
But you're right: Fast descent to fascism, or slow descent. But, a fascist was the only options presented.
He keeps claiming they are "abusing us", but... Like, why did he make that deal then last time he was in office?
