    I’m in another liberal shit hole but happened to visit for the first time a few months ago and found it quite lovely for a crime-ridden ghetto. And while it is not nearly as frustrating, I missed out on the Italian beef.

    lol some people cannot read sarcasm, Chicago is one hell of a town folks, go visit.

    Thank you for stating (what should be) the obvious. I saw someone mention that the only way to deal with fascists is at the end of a tank and I’m wondering where that rolls in from and why they haven’t considered what MLK had to say on the matter. Your point about fomenting a precursor is spot on as well, we’re seeing it in Chicago.







  • No one “blames” you for anything outside of your skull and for my part, not even most of that. What is being pointed at is the consequences of actions. Paint splashed on vehicles gave incredible justification to the UK government, what actions will the murder of an officer give rise to? What will it accomplish?
    This line of thinking is nothing more than violent ideation and yeah, I fall for it as well. What I do not do is give into it, and I do not use it to justify cries for violence writ large on what is practically the only platform worth engaging in. Cooler heads may disagree.




  • Lemmy is one of the few places I go that has the knowledge base to have a nuanced opinion of AI, there’s plenty of programmers here using it after all.

    The topic du jour is not whether the recall of myriad data is impressive, it’s that LLMs are not fundamentally capable of doing the thing that has been claimed at bottom. There does not seem to be a path to having logical capabilities come on board, it’s a fundamental shortcoming.

    Happy to be proven wrong though.


  • Media and online commentary about the issue led the Australian Bureau of Statistics to last week issue a stern rebuke and fact check, saying the use of OAD data “does not reflect the official ABS definition of migration and may lead to inaccurate conclusions on migration”.

    I mean you walked onto your own intellectual landmine there; the cognitive dissonance is now your row to hoe. Given that burden there is little surprise in watching you devolve to emojis like every other nervous boomer caught in a lie. Also the the phrase was “Racist propaganda that is easily debunked,” but we’re not allowing reading comprehension to get in our way now are we?


  • Racist propaganda that is easily debunked.

    One claim which spread online was that Australia was bringing in 1,500 new overseas arrivals each day. That claim was advanced by some conservative media outlets and picked up traction online among some supporters of the rally. But Rizvi and Gamlen said the number was inaccurate, and a misunderstanding of migration figures. That figure, they said, referred to overseas arrivals and departures (OAD) data – which is more about tourist arrivals than migrants. Media and online commentary about the issue led the Australian Bureau of Statistics to last week issue a stern rebuke and fact check, saying the use of OAD data “does not reflect the official ABS definition of migration and may lead to inaccurate conclusions on migration”. OAD data “is a count of border crossings rather than migration. It is best used to understand patterns in traveller movements, such as tourism trends and seasonal travel,” the ABS said. The bureau noted that someone on a temporary visa, who travelled in and out of Australia multiple times, would count as a visitor several times “even though they only migrated here once”. Rizvi said the use of that number by migration critics was “nonsense”.
