In the absence of people, a thriving spambot ecosystem emerges on Threads. Nature is healing

Screenshot of my Instagram Threads feed, which contains nothing but spam posts by presumed bot accounts. For instance: "Faris sent you a private message! Tap Profile to follow and open message request". All the posts have a depressingly high number of likes and replies

Heads up, if you're on Linkedin you've been automatically opted in for generative ai training - on everything you have ever posted, including personal data! Opt out: www.linkedin.com/mypreference...

Screenshot of the page on LinkedIn for generative ai. It reads:

Can LinkedIn and its affiliates use your personal data and content you create on LinkedIn to train generative AI models that create content?

Seems PRETTY FUCKING CLEAR to me www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Screenshot of July 27th Reuters article. Text reads "Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, 'in four years, you don't have to vote again. We'll have fixed it so good, you're not gonna have to vote.' It was not clear what the former president meant"

Maybe we could, I dunno, just ignore the NYT's hatemongering editorials and opinion columns instead of reposting them in performative outrage?

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Very cool and fun to be watching the destruction of American democracy in real time. Blessed and privileged to be witnessing the collapse of the American empire from within
