X has quietly begun training its Grok AI chat platform using members' public posts without first alerting anyone

help.x.com/en/using-x/about-gr

You have two options if you do not wish to allow X to use your posts to train Grok.

The first option is to make your account private

@stueytheround @thereg001

as for your original question

Dropbox doesn't scan your files for viruses when you upload or download them. This means that an infected file can live indefinitely in Dropbox.

only download from folk you trust and that applies for mostly all cloud storage services

@stueytheround @thereg001

any URL you think might be dodgy try copying it then paste it into VirusTotal

virustotal.com/gui/home/url

will check the URL itself - there is also a file upload option for files you wanna check

Android users try URL check app

set it as default browser and any links you click from any app URL check will open a window with VirusTotal module on you can see the report before opening - really good app that turn off "in app Browsers" 4rm apps

Even some in Russia think trump is to volatile to be president 🥴 he wouldn't necessarily help Russia and could always uturn on things at a whim - they see Vance as the "captain" who will steady the ship

Good luck america 😶‍🌫️

And "Vance is a very interesting figure" to the Kremlin

Russia would no doubt want Vance and Trump to win hoping Vance can bend Trumps ear to "help" Russia

Yup just like in 2015/16 Russia didn't want Hillary as president that's why they "interfered" in US election so hard - it wasn't necessarily to get Trump in it was to keep Hillary out - this US election expect the same, or worse, interference

Russia wary of U.S. and France election surprises, especially Kamala Harris

Putin knew Hillary woulda been very tough on Russia plus he has a score to settle with her as he blamed her for protests

Based on real life missions this is a true story - during ww2 British military recruits a small group of highly skilled soldiers to strike against German forces behind enemy lines

In political science and popular discourse, the horseshoe theory asserts that the extreme left and the extreme right, rather than being at opposite and opposing ends of a linear political continuum, closely resemble each other, analogous to the way that the opposite ends of a horseshoe are close together

Extremes on either side are like a horseshoe spectrum – they meet at the bottom where the ends almost touch.

@_Hunter lol

there is more to it than they things

ignoring that fact is being dishonest

Intuitive observation of left-wing and right-wing regimes as well as radical political movements of the left and right reveals striking parallels in their styles of political engagement, their reliance upon force, their disdain for democratic ideals and practices and their violations of civil liberties

We decided to publish the story because of its public interest

Rightwing Tory MP Suella Braverman’s bid to replace Rishi Sunak as Tory leader may come to an end before it even begins - Allies have warned that a “Stop Suella” campaign is running among parliamentarians because of the “uncomfortable truths” she spoke about the state of the party

While Braverman’s rightwing rhetoric is popular among members, MPs have claimed she is “too toxic” to win over the wider public.
