Isn't one of the benefits of drones that this is a non story? Go ahead, no ones up there, best place to almost make a mistake. The pentagon can't pass an audit and is basically given unlimited funds, diplomacy wasn't exactly at risk here.
Lmfao, expirementing, smart. Ill abstain from voting to help continue it.
Nice buzzword, but it's not me gatekeeping anything. Thats what leftism has meant since the phrase neoliberalism has existed. Im not the one who made the definition, you're just ignoring it.
Any combination of those, and including things like vote manipulation with lots of sock accounts, as well as the posting of links that advance their agenda. Wouldn't take much at all. You obviously need to make it look natural, it's not every comment or post on lemmy that gets hundreds of upvotes or downvotes. I'd wager you can significant alter lemmy feeds with like thirty co ordonated accounts so long as you stay on new or hot. The trickier part would be not using the same 30 accounts every time, but even still those numbers are peanuts compared to what troll farms and botters do on other social networks. Compared to that you could probably just loose a few interns on the whole of the fediverse if astro turfing was your goal.
Its an election year, I guarantee there is significant astro turfing going on in the fediverse. I'd stake my bank account on it.
You've chosen a definition thats dependent on where you percieve 'center' to be. Its a variable point therefore to you that word doesn't have a fixed meaning. A European centerist is an American left leaner, a decade ago the american 'left' was talking about UBI and medicade for all, now they're talking about fixing bridges that are about to fall down. You're either blind to the overton window shifting or happy that things like infrastructure upkeep is now considered 'leftism' but despite your best efforts, words still have meaning. You're one of the people trying to obfuscate those meanings.
Hilariously short sighted. What are they gonna train the AI on? All the drone strikes where they didn't hit any bystanders? I think they're gonna need more than the 15 or so data points that gets us.
Why do you need a degree just to be told by the accountant and c suite employees that you're codes safety festures are taking to long so shelf them?
The difference between liberals and the left is the stance on capitalism. Liberals believe they can make capitalism work, leftists insist we must move beyond it. The people obfuscating liberal and leftist are the people who want the discussion of moving past capitalism to stop. Don't help them.
Damn where the heck do you live? Where im at is above average COL, in the top 15-20 of the states depending on year, and I got one two days ago for just under 10 bucks.
