@TopRamenPapi@TDHBXG Cause they've been rivals for over a decade ad they are two of the best American talents. Also, this is a fight that boxing fans want.
Not calling Shakur a duck, but it's insane to act like people are somehow being unfair(?) for asking this fight like we said go fight Benavidez.
@TopRamenPapi@TDHBXG This is so disingenuous though. He clearly moved up because he couldn't make 40 anymore. Shakur was willing to come up to '47 to fight Been, but he isn't as confident vs Haney and maybe needs more time to be ready. It's not that complicated.
@cameruin84@AnielLenin@jack_catt93 then all he has to do is come off that belt! He can go make any big fight for any prize he wants. You don't get emailed a belt and hold it hostage for over a year now.
One of the ugliest realities of racism in this country is how easily some people can portray Black children as threats. A Black child can be followed, killed, and then have the act defended as “self-defense,” while the victim is scrutinized more than the person who pulled the
I know he was innocent and I suppose that matters but here’s what gets lost in that discourse YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO KILL THE GUILTY EITHER! Stealing is NOT a death penalty crime. We have to resensitize ourselves to DUE PROCESS for Black people too! There’s a process…
Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients.
The point of this kind of marketing is that nobody is supposed to notice it. But lately, the machinery has started to show.
In April, Justin Bieber headlined two consecutive weekends at Coachella. Coachella is the biggest stage in pop music save only for the Super Bowl, the kind of event that in theory generates its own attention. And yet on both weekends, a Discord server writer Lane Brown had been monitoring hosted paid campaigns for Bieber’s Coachella performances, offering clippers — people who are hired to turn a song, trailer, interview, stump speech, or whatever into short, social-media-friendly fragments — as much as a dollar per thousand views.
“On social media, popular opinion is being formed, measured, and manipulated all at once, and every signal the platforms produce — a trending song, a backlash, a talking point, the feeling that ‘everybody’ is suddenly talking about the same thing — can now be fabricated by unseen actors with hidden agendas,” writes Brown.
“Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. “And if you’re not, you’re behind.”
Brown reports on how the same techniques are now being used to fool people on every app they go to in order to find out what other people think, not just in music but across entertainment, politics, consumer products, and celebrity gossip: https://t.co/hlcdfSmzPc
Another reason for why good public transportation is necessary is because old people need to be able to get around safely, without being in danger and without endangering other people
BREAKING: The Louisiana Senate passed a disturbing anti-homeless bill that pushes homeless people into jails, forced treatment, and unpaid labor. Hours earlier, the same lawmakers voted to give themselves $1,000 to cover housing expenses, recognizing housing is too expensive.
Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
@BenjaminPDixon@Pontifex Is it your proposition that Artificial intelligence does indeed experience joy and pain, know what work, love, friendship mean?
I can't figure it out if you're saying he doesn't know or that he's wrong. There's something else we can't prove and yet you seem to believe in.
