It isn’t racist enough, so he has to take over and train it on nazi propaganda.

          When it’s actual news, I’ll hear about it regardless.

          I’m not going to perseverate over every headline, I have a life to live. The media is actively trying to piss us off, they’ll skew and distort and all but fabricate to keep us angry and engaged.

          I’m not doing it. I can’t recall a single time in my life that keeping up to date up to the hour has actually improved anything for me. Sitting around just knowing stuff is happening isn’t going to change my life for the better.

          I live in a safe republican state and a leans Republican district. I could send a letter to my senator, call my representative, spend hours of my time just worried about something, and still, they’ll vote how the party wants them to. Being informed and doing the things I’m supposed to do won’t change anything.

            But being good to your neighbors and doing direct action like volunteering will make a huge difference, and you don’t need the news for that!

          I’m still reading the old school press and listening to the radio. I’m just not on lemmy to read about it AGAIN… On top of that, it’s mostly absurd and inaplicable announcements. They crave attention so much, it’s painful to listen. Look at Musk’s video gaming scheme. Just pathetic…

            Ok, that’s fair. It is very hard to tell these days who is paying attention but overwhelmed and who is saying “this is all bad news, so I’m going to ignore it because I don’t like hearing about bad things.” The latter is the dangerous attitude. I’m glad it isn’t yours, but unfortunately Lemmy is not free of it.

            Not sure FlyingSquid is aware of life outside Lemmy. They’re addicted to the lotus flowers here.

          There are two sides to this. There’s yours, and then there is self-care and self-protection. Being constantly bombarded with this shit, these issues, problems and the world going down hill while you as an individual can’t even begin to influence or have any kind of impact on them can and will wreck your mental health.

          In the end it needs balance. Don’t stick your head in the sand, but also don’t drown in the never ending despair that is the flood of bad news in modern media.

      Yeah, I’m pretty much done with Lemmy right now. It’s just getting way too much. The sky is falling every five minutes.

      I don’t see this option sadly, only block instance/community/user. Would love to block Trump/Musks fucking faces from my life.

        It depends on which app you’re using. Mine is the Android version of Voyager 😉

    He can afford to pay twice the price of Twitter because he’s using government money. Remember he barely swung the 44 billion for Twitter. Now he’s buying something for more than double that? After putting code into the Treasury department computers to hide transactions?

    Lmao.

      Pretty sure he’s now functionally the worlds richest man (including oligarchs with a lot of hidden wealth) what with his newly aquired un-supervised access to 6 trillion in US government funds.

    Would be funny to watch this go through and see how quickly he changes his mind on Open AI’s business model.

      He’d be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He’d use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.

        I’m referring to his complaints about open ai moving towards a for profit business model. Musk wants to stop this.

    This kind of thing is why it’s short-sighted even for the other tech guys to cozy up to Trump. There’s no room for anyone other than Musk and he is just going to use his leverage with Trump to screw over the other billionaires as well.

    “It’s time for OpenAI to return to the open-source, safety-focused force for good it once was,” Musk said in a statement provided by his lawyer Marc Toberoff to The Wall Street Journal. “We will make sure that happens.”

    I’ll believe that when I see it.

    Hahah he really hates Altman’s guts. Good. Love to see those two expend their energy on each other rather than on fucking all of us.
