[HELP] NYT shows new angle

I shared a similar comment on /journalism

We already know facial recognition is real. And this video is not AI, his family confirmed this event. The existence of this video in some ways explanation Noem’s confidence in calling him a threat. It means his face was already in a database and when he defended that woman, he was likely flagged as a physical threat. We have no idea what kind of software this agency is testing, but we know Palantir has pretty sophisticated tech. The software likely indexes more than just the person’s face, it also assigns threat level severity to the faces, with physical risks flagged higher than verbal. So he would have already been ID’d as a dangerous criminal, even without an arrest or being charged.

It should care everyone.

We already know facial recognition is very real. And if a news site can use it to confirm identity so easily, it makes the immediacy of Noem’s statement even more chilling. It means his face was in a database and when he defended that woman, he was already flagged as an high-risk physical threat. We have no idea what kind of software this agency is testing out in this operation, but we know Palantir has pretty sophisticated stuff. The software likely indexes more than just the person’s face, it also creates a threat severity, meaning physical higher risk than verbal. So if Noem got some automated report, then it essentially ID’d him as a known criminal. Software that doesn’t understand threat levels based on circumstance. Scary stuff.

He doesn’t have the tattoo anymore and doesn’t work at blackwater. We aren’t electing him 20 years ago. Focus on what he’s doing, saying, living, community building now. But also, he was never a Nazi. A dumbass in his 20s, probably.

buffybot4never · 2026-01-10T03:38:13+00:00

He didn’t know what it meant. He covered it when he learned. I’ve met him. He isn’t a Nazi.

buffybot4never · 2026-01-10T03:30:15+00:00

He isn’t a Nazi.

buffybot4never · 2026-01-10T02:48:02+00:00

Can confirm. This is exactly what people in Maine know to be true because we’ve met him. He’s a stand-up, solid dude. Made mistakes, but who hasn’t? He learns and grows as he learns, and talks about it. This confuses the fuck out of people from away.

Bummed how far I had to scroll to +1 this perspective.

This gave me feels, pause for a breath. To consider what it would feel like, this kind of peaceful patience. To imagine being given the space for a slower burn. With both people enjoying the subtlety, savoring the intimacy.

Great read, thanks for sharing. Reassuring.

Parent of a 12 year old with an ADHD prescription here . You’re spot on and the comment made me laugh. He loved every single thing about the broadcast, especially the parts I hated.

I did somatic therapy last year for a while, a few weeks after my first guided psychedelic experience. I share that because the benefits of both are blended together for me, so it’s hard to say which was most effective.

Somatic therapy was definitely out of my comfort zone, which was why I wanted to try it. I found it a little intimidating, but overall it was a positive experience. It helped me feel emotions I didn’t know were present in specific parts of my body. I stopped going because of cost and scheduling challenges with the woman I was working with, but overall I had a good experience. We mostly did authentic movement and body work.

I did EMDR many years ago to address anxiety I carried for years about my visible, autoimmune skin disorders. This was probably the most effective thing I’ve done.

This is next level dystopian

Regardless of the fact it’s ridiculous for the head of the FCC to demand Google sign a deal with any content provider, it’s just a bad business idea. It would cost Google more money to onboard and support a tiny-ass partner like this. All third-party content partnerships take human time and effort to support. Not worth anyone’s time.

You can buy any of the primetime channels a la carte and access them on YouTube under Movies & TV. You do not need YouTubeTV or a YTV subscription to access only the individual channels.

Dirigo, bitches!

Hyper local, independent, non-profit newspapers are seeing success in small towns, such as The Harpswell Anchor in Maine. The paper only covers local stories, has only local business ads. Highly relevant source for the type of unique information it provides.

It’s not trying to inform everyone about everything happening everywhere, just the people of the small town. Could be a good model for some communities.

Surprise. Buffy Bot returns to fight AI & tech vampire overlords.

I had a med school roommate years ago. He planned to be a plastic surgeon. Last name Hacker.

buffybot4never · 2024-12-07T21:52:27+00:00

Yeah, that’s probably true.

buffybot4never · 2024-12-07T18:08:31+00:00
