Well, the shareholders are going to put their money where it makes the most money. Shareholder profits are everything now. Capitalism is so fucking stupid, and it’s going to kill us all.

TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Senator Amy Klobuchar learned that a video clip of her was going viral. So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake. English5·3 days agoWhich is even scarier. Most of us knew it was only going to get worse, and deep fakes are just going to add fuel to the dumpster fire.

So she clicked on it and saw her face and her voice saying things she had never said. It was an AI deepfake. English14·4 days agoIt’s a real worry. I watched a Rachel Maddow video on youtube recently and got several minutes in before I realised it was fake, it was very convincing. How is society going to function when none of us know what’s real and what’s not?
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto Australia@aussie.zone•Benjamin Netanyahu says Anthony Albanese 'betrayed' IsraelEnglish20·5 days agoNo, Albanese stood for Australians. Fuck Netanyahu, nice one Albo!
Omg, as an Australian who lived in the US during the Obama years, now back home with my American wife and US born kids, this is a thousand percent me!
🤣 The wasn’t allowed to swallow bit made me laugh out loud at work!
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025?English1·7 days agoA lot of people are struggling with that realisation. My wife has always been extremely close with her 2 sisters and mother, and they all voted trump last year. She’s had a very hard time with it, but she’s kind of at the point now where she’s severed a lot of her connection to them. She’s just being polite to them at this point.

It’s always had its problems, but it’s always been an amazing country in a lot of ways. But I got to see the Obama years and the growth of the tea party and this was always coming. I’m convinced that leaving when I did is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself and my family, and I really feel for all the people who are stuck there with this insane death cult.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•'I won't humiliate myself': Brazil's president sees no point in tariff talks with TrumpEnglish73·17 days agoI wish all world leaders had balls like this. Fuck trump and fuck America under trump.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto World News@lemmy.world•President Lula: The sovereignty of Brazil isn't negotiable. We recognize the great power of the United States, but you must speak to us with respect. Donald Trump’s behavior is unacceptable. English76·23 days agoI wish more world leaders would find their spines like this.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was.English2·25 days agoWe’re pretty much at the point where you can’t even expect to get a job without some form of social media presence. I hate it. I used to be able to google myself and find literally nothing.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Trump’s Approval Rating Just Dropped to a New LowEnglish3·25 days agoJust like Jesus would want!
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s returnEnglish1·1 month agoHope it works out for you. Due to certain financial outcomes, I’m pretty much stuck where I am, for better or worse. Will have to be satisfied that my teenaged daughters never had to live in trump’s America.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s returnEnglish1·1 month agoI liked Duke Nukem 64. Me and my mates would play that non-stop. Goldeneye was never worth playing because the guy who owned the N64 was unbeatable.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Beef prices are the new egg prices. They’re soaring | CNN BusinessEnglish1·1 month agoIn the US or Australia? Curious because roo has always been pretty expensive here.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s returnEnglish4·1 month agoMostly it was moving from the Midwest to a sub-tropical beach paradise. Which I thought (but definitely didn’t say) was kinda funny, because her reason for saying she’d never move was family. But pretty much all the reasons she’s been glad we did move are related to trump and what the US has become.
TheCriticalMember@aussie.zoneto politics @lemmy.world•Beef prices are the new egg prices. They’re soaring | CNN BusinessEnglish4·1 month agoI’d be shocked if you could get cheap roo. I’m Australian and roo costs more than beef here.

OK Grandpa, let’s get you inside for a nap! 🤣
Of course! We were feeling a bit of 90s nostalgia last night, so rocked out to some prodigy, offspring, Metallica, korn, Pantera etc. You know, the classics!
