Sadly some service people have already died for Saudi Arabia in the Khobar Towers bombing (1996). The presence of American soldiers in Saudi Arabia was also the impetus behind the 9/11 bombings.
A foreign policy cynic could say that this deal changes little, because the U.S. already helps SA willingly, for example, we now help them bomb Yemen because we want to, rather than because we’re legally obligated to. But I find the idea that someone would want to codify this insane, and am surprised it isn’t bigger news.
“Spend less time once on” is different than “hate”. I hated FB’s feed so much that I was reluctant to get on in the first place, a metric completely different from how long I would spend once I DID open it.
I’m using calckey.world and it was a bit crunchy at first but is working well now. The userbase at this point is small compared to the mastodon servers we’re used to seeing.
This seems like an admission that twitter is dead.
This is just more marketing on OpenAI’s part, to push the idea that they are close to creating something “smarter” than humans.
I’m confused by this - there are various things Meta might want from the Fediverse (free content, more data, more people to serve ads to), but new users can’t be one of them. No one from Mastodon is likeky to migrate to Meta’s platform; the people who want to use Meta are already there.
