where can I see this argument

has anyone on NOSTR done a rundown on this deepseak AI thing? is it as good as people are claiming? Are the implications for "big tech" oligarchs as serious as they say? nostr:npub1s05p3ha7en49dv8429tkk07nnfa9pcwczkf5x5qrdraqshxdje9sq6eyhe this evolution seems ro fit perfectly into your thesis is what they are saying is true...

Holy shit, have y'all seen Sánchez's Davos speech? Man really got up there and proposed making anonymity illegal on social media. Not just "we need better moderation" - straight up "one government ID, one account" dystopian nonsense.

Like yeah, misinformation and bots are problems. But his solution? Force everyone to link their social accounts to an "European Digital Identity Wallet." Want to keep your work life separate from your shitposting? Too bad, that's illegal now. Need anonymity because you're LGBT+ in a conservative area? Get fucked, government needs your papers. He claims it’ll only be platforms which see the real id, but we know no systems are secure. And it makes decentralized networks illegal too!

But wait, it gets better! He also wants to make platform CEOs personally liable when users break "laws and norms." THE NORMS. Not just illegal content - the fucking NORMS. It's like throwing Verizon's CEO in jail because someone planned a crime over the phone.

The only way ANY platform could operate under these rules would be to completely block European users. Twitter, Reddit, Discord - boom, gone. Or they become heavily censored government-ID-required wastelands.

And the real kicker? He buried some actually decent ideas about algorithmic transparency in between these two absolute nightmares. Like yeah, we should know how these platforms decide what content to promote. But holy hell, way to poison the well by sandwiching it between "papers please" and "jail CEOs for bad vibes."

Spain used to be the apex of masculinity. Still a great country, but so sad to see what is happening there.

was just thinking this today actually. it's OK to be excited! I feel like we are drowning in cynicism and irony these days. takes real courage to let genuine emotion and be fascinated and excited by things.

don't you EVER give up hope man! you got this!

usually doesn't work out well for the US. A large counter terrorist operation in Mexico could have incredible blow back in the US.

Maybe, but the US track record in dealing with terrorist organizations is pretty awful, and in fact it tends to (in the long run) make said organizations stronger, and more resilient.

can't wait for this excellent strategy when it comes to foreign policy as well

I wish I enjoyed that scene, I know people have a blast and I wish I could get into that stuff, but it isn't for me. that said, I'm super glad people have so much fun. How many people are on drugs though?

I'm kind of glad because the endless outrage over some outdated and foreign hand gesture is bordering on ridiculous. Even if he meant it (dude has been to Israel and Auschwitz multiple times as I recall), it has absolutely zero power and this is a good thing.

nostr:npub1xr7t5h0l25ej73pm04zgz9afeexyzsjx67s5v0xxf2sshjn4sx6sep2gqh's arrival to NOSTR is one of those "gradually then suddenly" moments. Whenever these things happen, I am surprised and yet immediately after it seems like the most inevitable and natural thing in the world.
