@hex@kolektiva.socialTwo things can be true, even if they seem in opposition.
Hitler's race law was based on Jim Crow. Lebensraum was a direct translation of Manifest Destiny to Europe. The genocide of indigenous Americans was the inspiration and roadmap for the Holocaust. Red Summer was a genocide event. Chinese exclusion was a genocide event. The genocide of indigenous Americans continued, and the Dakota Access Pipeline is an example of that continuance.
And... Trumpian fascism is new phase of America that's markedly different than anything that anyone alive had ever experienced. Trump was inspired by Hitler's speeches and read them regularly. He admires Hitler and tries to emulate him. The language he used during his first campaign were developed by Neonazi groups like Aryan Brotherhood working with the KKK. His image was shaped by white and Christian nationalists, as is his platform today. He is a new and more dangerous kind of monster. The death camps are new. The scale of what's happening is new. The concentration of power is new.
These can both be true, and are.

@karlauerbach@sfba.socialHere's an article on the still-racist Grok "AI".
In the article is a chunk of Python code that was generated by Grok.
What a stinkin' pile of code.
It is really simple code, but it has unacceptably weak error detection and handling that would give a user almost no useful information if something goes awry.
The hardest (and largest part) of most code (at least the code I work with) is validating inputs and handling errors. It is the most boring part …

"For two weeks in August 1936, Adolf Hitler's Nazi dictatorship camouflaged its racist, militaristic character while hosting the Summer Olympics. Softpedaling its antisemitic agenda and plans for territorial expansion, the regime exploited the Games to bedazzle many foreign spectators and journalists with an image of a peaceful, tolerant Germany.
Having rejected a proposed boycott of the 1936 Olympics, the sponsoring athletic and Olympic organizations of the United States and other western democracies missed the opportunity to take a stand that—some observers at the time claimed—might have given Hitler pause and bolstered international resistance to Nazi tyranny.
With the conclusion of the Games, Germany's expansionist policies and the persecution of Jews and other "enemies of the state" accelerated, culminating in World War II and the Holocaust.” - https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nazi-olympics-berlin-1936
