"There are two kinds of lies that are told by people in authority.
Type one are those that are intended to convince you of something that isn't true. You know, like normal lies.
Type two are those that you know are lies, and they know you know are lies. These lies aren't there to fool anyone. These lies are there to humiliate you, to remind you of who's in charge."

There's two kinds of lies that are told by people in authority. Type one are those that are intended to convince you of something that isn't true. You know, like normal lies. Type two are those that you know are lies, and they know you know are lies. These lies aren't there to fool anyone. These lies are there to humiliate you, to remind you of who's in charge. When people in authority tell lies like this, it's intended as a way to show you that you're too unimportant for it to matter whether you believe them or not. Remember this when you hear statements from governments, and from people running for government. When they say things that are literally unbelievable, you're not meant to believe, you're meant to be reminded of just how small you are.

They're all about lies, deception, propaganda, and BS. They always pull back when it's too egregious even for their own. Has hillbilly JD Vance come out yet and said it was "just a joke?"

On #figma #ai training #bs — As I haven't been noticed that my projects are automatically OPT-IN for AI training and it is probably too late. I now OPT-OUT of this non-sense in the creative bubble. Completely unethical to make it an OPT-OUT option. Will unsubscribe soon as I want my projects to finish before.
One more reason to go to @penpot even though I don't know how they want to implement their AI stuff. Hopefully it is just some basic stuff like helping with naming conventions and local AI implementation of that.
