People often blame phones, but I blame the runaway success of Obamas first campaign. His team ran the most effective targeting campaign online I'd ever seen. People I knew in Canada cared more than about him than local politics. I thin

Every midjourney image has the same feeling to it. A bit 1950s sci-fi artist. I guess it's just that it all looks airbrushed? I can't put my finger on it.

It can be both true and used for astroturfing.

I believe this is a form of astroturfing and it is hard not to see this stuff. Remember all those articles about the AI winter a few years ago? In reality, there was no winter. Lot's of smart people took advantage of the opportunity an

What you've got there is legacy wealth and power, obtained by violence no less, using it's wealth and power to build local indoctrination centres that help sustain the legacy. If that wealth and power built MtG play centres or I d

Remember when IE didn't support it? And the goofy hacks Microsoft made people do to support transparency on websites?

I did and do the exact same thing! Except it's still a grind and I haven't experienced any compounding luck. Just exercises in endless nail pulling. Is it possible that you just... Got lucky?

The hard dismissal with 'No' is likely why you got down voted. I am not able to do that. With that kind of tonal promise, especially considering the source you are dismissing outright is important in their field, you have to show,
