The military program started under former President Donald Trump and continued months into Joe Biden’s presidency, Reuters found – even after alarmed social media executives warned the new administration that the Pentagon had been trafficking in COVID misinformation. The Biden White House issued an edict in spring 2021 banning the anti-vax effort, which also disparaged vaccines produced by other rivals, and the Pentagon initiated an internal review, Reuters found.

Not saying I’m super impressed with the bidden admnistration, but "started it with an explicit goal of spreading misinformation and “took them a couple months to put a stop to it” are not the same thing. Your statement sounds like it’s trying to draw that false equivillency.

It’s no great secret that the Trump administration was peddling in vaccine misinformation.

The only surprise here is how much damage it caused in the Philippines in particular.

“Fuck them, I’ve got mine” pro-capitalist mindset in the wild.

Nah dude. If they hit a billion dollars, you take all their wealth, reset them back to level one, put a star next to their name and tell them to do it again. They’ll appreciate the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with a second run.

Honestly people will ruin whatever after a few generations when they don’t see the negstives anymore.

Why am I still paying those IT security folk? We haven’t had any data leaks in years!

On the contrary, I suspect they don’t port their games to PC because they don’t think they compete with PC.

That might change with the prevalence of the Steam Deck and other gaming targeted handheld PCs.

Downloaded a game which Windows Defender flagged as high-threat for containing “Cracked game content” the other day. Why yes, my cracked copy of this game IS cracked, thank you for noticing.

Of course he was. He hated the job, so why else would he want it back?

Maybe we let professionals decide what tool is best for their field

Hey, really appreciated. Having random potentially uneducated, inexperienced people chime in on what they think I’m doing wrong in my classroom based on the tiniest snippet of information really shouldn’t matter, but it’s disheartening nontheless.

While I take their point, I also wouldn’t walk into a garage and tell someone what they’re doing wrong with a vehicle, or tell a doctor I ran into on the streets that they’re misdiagnosing people based on a comment I overheard. Yet, because I work with children, I get this all the time. So, again, appreciated.

I use it as a brainstorming tool. I haven’t had a single question make it as-is to a student’s worksheet. If the tool can’t even count to 20 successfully, I’m not sure how anyone could trust it to generate meaningful questions for an ELA program.

I regularly use ChatGPT to generate questions for junior high worksheets. You would be surprised how easily it fucks up “generate 20 multiple choice and 10 short answer questions”. Most frequently at about 12-13 multiple choice it gives up and moves on. When I point out its flaw and ask it to finish generating the multiple choice, it continues to find new and unique ways to fuck up coming up with the remaining questions.

I would say it gives me simple count and recall errors in about 60% of my attempts to use it.

On a related note, I’m very glad I pirated Starfield.

Eh, Nintendo is fiercely protective of their IP to a fault. I won’t defend them, but I certainly don’t view their practices the same as I view Sony’s.

Sony has always been an industry leader in consumer abuse.

Late stage capitalism be like: “look at how much money it cost when all this food essential to human life went to waste!”

Zhao Hong, a law professor at the Chinese University of Political Science and Law said the lack of clarity could lead to an infringement of personal.

Adorable that anyone is suggesting this is a bug, not a feature.

Listen, I get that we’re collectively enjoying the schaudenfreude of watching the poor mooks who bought into this trend suffer the consequences of their actions. But why defend con artists? These are people who seek out and prey on said mooks, taking advantage of addiction and poor impulse control to make millions, all while contributing nothing to society. They did lie, cheat and steal their way to millions, and no one “deserves” to be on the losing end of that.

Idiots with money will literally always exist. Assholes offering no value to the world will always try to abuse them. The law is supposed to step in and do its best to force said assholes to play by rules that force them to be productive. Let’s not turn up our nose at the one time it might serve it’s purpose, just so we can feel smug and superior.

I hope this case finds its way through the courts, and I hope it costs these con artists millions.

“It’s the abusee’s fault for putting up with them”.

Everyone’s laughing until the immortal guy is suddenly braindead.
