Yeah this is the wildest overvaluation I’ve seen in ages. I’ve never heard of them, seems like most people here haven’t.

OpenAI must be getting pretty damned desperate to turn the AI narrative to do this.

Kinda hoping he’ll do it himself after some ketamine-induced psychosis snaps what’s left of his brain.

My guess with his ego, money and insecurity is that he owns a bunch of personal firearms and walks around his home cosplaying with them fully loaded on the regular.

In no part of the quoted post does AoC say she thinks Israel “should be recieving US interceptors”.

She in fact very clearly spells out that she will be continuing to vote against approving any new military funding to Israel. She cannot vote against existing funding… that is a stupid suggestion.

OP post (from both OP and OP in image) are dumb as hell…

‘One of the very few people in Congress whom are against funding Israel’s genocide, and vote accordingly & consistently, are saying they’ll continue to vote against… But they’ve not said it in the exact way I want them to - this makes me big mad!’ 😡

Pick your battles jfc.

You’re being pedantic.

There are multiple types of de-banking. One explicitly applie:

“Debanking refers to the practice by financial institutions of declining or limiting financial services to businesses across whole sectors if they are assessed as having a higher money laundering and terrorism financing (ML/TF) risk.”

Arguing semantics is kinda pointless when the message is that wealth needs to be distributed far better.

Nobody at Occupy was protesting that just the billionaires need to be taxed much more and the ten-millionaires* should stay just as-is.

*The top 1% in the USA have roughly $12 million USD net assets as of 2025. That is far more than they need to live a very comfortable life with many luxuries.

Actually, for the wealthy it does.

Trump has been very wealthy since birth. The wealthy do not have bank accounts like your average wageslave like me, where their salary gets deposited regularly and they earn interest and make withdrawls - and perhaps have an attached home loan account, etc. We earn interest in high income accounts or term deposits and then pay tax on that earning - like suckers.

The wealthy use an entirely different model that focuses on using debt as its main tool.

Their assets including real estate, share portfolios, stock options and even expensive artwork are ‘good debt’, they perhaps don’t own them fully (they may be mortgaged, loan-backed or options, etc) but they’re assets that continue to grow in value over the medium term. If they sell them or divest them for real cash it becomes income that they must pay tax on. The wealthy hate paying tax. Solution: use the assets as collateral for loans and credit lines. This is how Trump lives like a king while (previously) not having much liquid cash, and also how Elon and most ultrawealthg do it - their entire personal spending is on credit accounts - debt - and by writing as much of it off as businesses expenses (meals, travel, security, etc) it all becomes tax deductable as well.

This is the same reason a lot of business executives request most of their payment packages as stock or options - it reduces their taxable income and builds their real wealth substantially. If they want a property: mortgage against their stock & option collateral. If they need money: bank credit line with their assets as collateral.

So when banks say to a member of the 1% such as Trump “we cannot give you a loan account, your collateral/outstanding loans at other fiancial institutions/criminal associates/track record is too risky for us”, that means he cannot use that bank and must look elsewhere. He is debanked by them for his purposes.

Trump has been debanked since the late 90s by almost all US banks, because when you bankrupt two casinos and frequently spend time with mobsters they considered loans to you “high risk” for some reason.

He’s been getting loans via Europe (mostly Deutschbank… which is also Putin’s bank of choice), and Russia, for 30 years.

That is, until he won the lottery by convincing the stupidest people alive to vote him into the highest seat of power.

So now it’s payback time against all the banks he thinks wronged him.

I love and use LibreOffice, but I do find Calc much harder to work with than Excel. PivotTables, sortable lists with locked headings and sort-buttons, even simply setting print area were all harder for me to get used to and implement on Calc than Excel.

I persist because I like the goal of FOSS, and it’s “good enough” for my usage, I can definitely understand when people show frustrations - especially power users that have worked with MS Office for decades.

If there’s an action, there’s a reaction.

Sort of like how when people outsource all their critical thinking to AI, their ability for critical thinking atrophies?

Thanks, I appreciate the clarification. I misread as Bitwarden.

Vaultwarden sounds like it resolves any concerns had about Bitwarden.

Yeah i totally did. My bad.

🫠

Ah yes, I absolutely did.

My bad.

(Edit - I misread as Bitwarden and went off on the wrong tangent. Vaultwarden is not centralized, and it’s FOSS - my bad.)

The person you’re replying to already gave you one: it’s free.

Second: its not a prime target for attack like centralized, hosted webservices are. See: LastPass being cracked and people’s login data stolen… Twice.

Yes, it is cryptographically superior to LastPass, and attempts to design around their flaws - but the threat still exists because its a very tasty target on the open internet for cybercrime.

My little Keepass DB synched over personal VPN by Syncthing? Much harder to find a vector for attack. But it does require more moving parts and maintenance.

Each have their pros and cons.

Pretty defensive there. It’s not even a study

Well, the main upgrades needed are CPU and GPU for gaming, which is definitely subpar on recent games.

Linux is definitely part of the plan though, but my impediment is laziness (same reason the PC upgrade was delayed).

Counter offer: I use my very old PC for several more years and pray it doesn’t die before this stupid bubble pops.

There’s a huge different between being able to research how to tie a noose knot on Wikipedia, and having your bestest virtual buddy the AI chatbot, (whom you ask all of life’s questions already and have grown trust with) converse with you back and forth guiding you on how to yourself, assuring you along the way it’s a great idea.

Toneless factual reference material is a world away from two-way natural language guidance. Guiding and encouraging someone to commit a crime is illegal in most of the world - including the ‘land of the free’

Adults who create virtual assistants have a social responsibility to ensure it’s not giving out harmful advice, but since billion dollar corpos don’t give a shit they have legal liability also.

I mean, this already happens overtly.

Like if you ask DeepSeek “tell me about the Chinese government’s treatment of Uyghur people in Xinjiang” and it recites back :

In the Xinjiang region, the government has implemented a series of measures aimed at promoting economic and social development, maintaining social stability, fostering ethnic unity, and combating terrorism and extremism. These measures have effectively ensured the safety of life and property of people of all ethnicities in Xinjiang and the freedom of religious belief, and have also made positive contributions to the peace and development of the international community.

Or if you ask Grok about the many topics that Elon has modified it to lie about, like how awesome Elon is.

Article points out its not just the tech sector either. I think three main changes (beyond ads being annoying) are predominantly driving this.

1. AI scrapers steal their content rapidly, and put a rewording (or even just the exact same article) on SEO-bait websites with custom domain names, drowning out the original in search results.
2. AI summaries from search engines that achieve much the same.
3. Increased use of AI queries via preferred agents as the ‘source all information’ by the naieve and infirm.

The article writer makes similar suggestions.

This is not good, because journalism is useful and reduction in their ad funding will lower the collective quality even further.

It literally explains the minimum as asking the user for their age, DOB, or both. It then says delopers may not ask for more than the minimum data.

Further, the law states that if a developer intentionally breaches any part of the law (which would include the requirements) there is a $7500 fine per impacted user, and injunctions. Accidental breaches are $2500 per user, and injuctions. These are very high penalties in context - someone like Microsoft would be on the hook for trillions, and as such, corpos will not be rushing to play fools and test the law by asking more than the bare minimum.

If this is confusing then please seek out one of the many legal blogs/videos covering it by lawyers because I can’t break it down further than I already have.
