Lies are subjective

Meloni palling around with Mussolini stans is something we all had on our bingo cards.

Can't wait to see the first AI pass the bar and become a licensed lawyer.

I am conflicted on this, while on the surface this is not a great idea. all kinds of possible issues with it. but when you expand and unpack it, misinfo, disinfo and just junk news sites that are planly propaganda are a problem.

the how, is just as important as the why. in this case; not only that, there are entire segments of the population that buy into some of the junk news, and bad actor sites. which in of itself creates a problem.

I am sure this is probably a solvable problem, but anything you can think of has major trust issues with it. which is part of the problem.

some sort of independent trust index, might work but would still have trust issues with it. as who and how does the index rating get effected?

Having agency is the definition of exerting control. No one is holding you hostage at work. If you hate the rules and the situation, leave. Start your own business like millions of Americans do. Find a better job, like millions of Americans do. Study for certs/diplomas if you have to, like millions of Americans do.

It’s incredibly naive to think unions or co-ops don’t have presidents and boards at the top making the important moves. Deciding which votes are made, for what. The IATSE strike threat was a perfect example of this: the workers were in a great dealmaking position when the union leaders drafted a deal that failed to address core issues. It’s always top down, in every situation. The only real solution is to be the decision maker.

Or to simply accept that life doesn’t allow you have 100% of the power 100% of the time.

That's what I'd say, journalism reviews.

I usually go to Mediafactcheckbias if I want to see how credible a source is. Or just how partisan they are since I'd rather not read something along the lines of: "Those woke liberals/right wing extremists did such and such!". I'm just there for the facts, not some journalist's opinions.

Probably some sort of trust ranking system for the news sources. Ie. Is the source CNN or the Onion?

It is about personal failings of the population though. If we were able to stop rabidly chasing our own goals at the expense of everyone else, the political elite couldn’t divide and conquer us. Here’s a video explaining how this happens. By manipulating the order in which policies are voted on and always making sure that each successive policy alienates a different out group, politicians play our selfish interests against each other to get us to vote our way out of a stable compromise and into a legal policy that no demographic wants.

This is to say: when politicians start pandering to a rotating cast of a slight majority of the population and telling each group left that they already had their turn and to wait, that’s tantamount to gerrymandering. “Progressive” politics (in name only, obviously) repeatedly fall prey to this. They’ll strategically let each demographic successively drag the window of what is appropriate far into their own court. This wild back-and-forth-and-to-the-side swinging eventually walks the window into a portion of “legal policy space” where the obvious and easily passable compromise between all demographics is something that would be considered shocking and outlandish to most of the general population.

Democracy is a political structure, labor is a socioeconomic structure. Yes we absolutely live in a democracy but the socioeconomic structure for labor is capitalism. Capitalism doesn’t give a shit about who controls the workplace as long as it’s the one with the most money.

Swing and a miss. But nice try shitting on people at the bottom rung for no reason I guess.

not every company has to be a co-op

yeah fucking wild, jesus christ. economic literacy is not very common

Question: how does the government determine whats real vs whats fake news

Not trolling, legit question

As long as liars are outed, we can get behind it eventually

Ill freely admit I straight up didn't see your second half of the comment, to the point where I thought you edited it until I saw that wasn't the case. My bad, does no one any good to argue against a strawman.

In any case, our unions aren't near as good or as effective as the unions in Europe, and the difficulty they have in trying to get companies to listen to them is indicative of the problems we have. Our democracy is subverted by the cold truth that companies buy out our politicians, which means that unions are disempowered by both federal and state lawmakers.

Our government works to ensure that the work place can only function as a dictatorship, and they push the narrative that unions are weak and ineffectual and just take your money through dues. The government made things this way.

I mean for Christ's sake, Biden busted the most important strike in this country in probably the last three decades, and we're already seeing the horrific consequences.

This country is democratic, more so than a lot of places, but it is wildly less democratic in our day to day lives than a lot of our allies in Europe. It's not hard to see why they think we live in an authoritarian hellhole, because by comparison to what they've got, we freaking do.

It's a government controlled company. People who are in a position of power there probably get it through nepotism or such. People like that often are the worst, incompetent and arrogant.

I guess the only one they could technically blame is the company that developed the AI for them, but I'm sure they were smart enough to make them sign a waiver to not be liable.

If they decide to sue tho, I guess it comes in handy that they're a law firm, they can just do it themselves.

Why does he want to seek butterflies under the arch of Titus?

It's not authoritarian if it's part of a voluntary exchange. It's like playing monopoly and then complaining that you can't pick where you land, if you hate the rules don't play.

It will be interesting to see what happens when a case comes along that they screw up because they trusted a chatbot with no understanding of the law to replace a human. If a person makes a big mistake you can fire them, even sue them or get them put in prison. When an AI program makes a mistake where will the liability land?

Unions are most definitely not a democratic control over the workplace. Hell, one of the biggest battles for unions is getting the company to listen to them

But yeah, my point was about the US not being a democracy because of that. At least we can agree on that, which was what the original comment was trying to say

Real and fake depends on whose narrative you want to believe and who's going to benefit

Right. It is so confidently incorrect about things I know about, so it must be incorrect about everything I don't know about equally.
