you gotta give the ai bros credit, they’ve managed to turn “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” into a multi-disciplinary corporate stratgy.

what else are you supposed to do when things aren’t done properly? it’s just common sense. not racist. the migrant crisis in europe proves that, surely. i just love to look across the pond at some of their creative ideas for how to deal with people who just refuse to do things the right way. if only we also had a large sea we could just let them drown in, instead of having to spend so much money after they get here. clever stuff there from enlightened europe!

more than any other place i’ve been on the internet, lemmy really feels like the place to go for watching the first draft of a propaganda campaign

it’s telling that these things are treated light-heartedly. more telling than the one-size-fits-all translation into “pedophile”, even.
