I double-checked this on a couple of Xitter stat sites and it's true. Average views of the main AfD account dropped 90% and average engagement dropped by 60%. This is commercial social media for you: bots, damn bots and Russian bots.
We’ve been talking about this for years.
None of these far-right movements are organic.

If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms.
Slava fucking Ukraini.

Just a reminder that when Dems turn against trans people for power, it's also a reminder that they'll do other things for power that you might not like too, such as supporting billionaires.
Gavin Newsom backs measure to kill the billionaire tax and ban future wealth taxes
Gov. Gavin Newsom isn't just fighting the billionaire tax. He's backing Prop. 42, which would ban future wealth taxes in California, too.

100% the promoters want to make AI look like a weapon of mass destruction so the governments nationalize them for their armies use, then eat the catastrophic implosion of the AI bubble.
It's that simple.
It's a scam all the way. The couldn't make it profitable and want to bail out AFAP.

I keep trying to think of any historical example where a given technology's PROMOTERS AND TRUE BELIEVERS were like 'we are absolutely going to ruin your fucking life so be prepared like it's the end of the world'

I've read the news that someone used AI to reverse engineer Adobe suite products and released all of them bootlegged versions for free this week.
I truly believe "software piracy powered by AI" can trigger the imminent death of gen AI. More than any perfectly reasonable argument against it.

I want my fantasy #TTRPG party balanced like Lord of the Rings.
(A superhuman hobo king, a rich shut-in with a fantasy nuke, a gardener, two trust-fund dipshits, daddy’s favorite authoritarian, an angel cosplaying as a homeless magician, an immortal nepo baby, and a four-foot race war enthusiast)

Downside to listening to short form videos praising how good Lanterns was (and it was very good) was that I was suddenly reminded that Green Lantern was a late friend's favorite superhero and he'd have loved the show, without a doubt, and it's just a weird sharp bit of grief two years later. 😥
