Sorry but this person is treating grapheneos' attacks on other groups as legitimate which throws the entire article into question. If they are happy to provide a platform for graphene's founder's paranoid conspiracies I can't trust the content.

Seems clear there's some questionable shit going on, but the only evidence presented is two YouTube videos which isn't actually a lot. I wouldn't be surprised based on this to hear there are deeper links, but this article is written by someone who thinks tweets and YouTube comments are evidence.

Fuch!!!!! Are they going to see my immich face detected photos to the government for the "final solution" march to the camps and the human powered ovens?

Thankfully Immich is protected against rugpulls (i.e. becoming proprietary) by virtue of it not requiring a Contributor License Agreement (CLA), so FUTO doesn't even own the copyrights to the code. Therefore, if anyone is suspicious of FUTO's influence over the project, they can simply fork it (and I imagine someone will)

But if you have something doing face detection I would hope it's stored locally and not sent to a "cloud" no matter who runs it.

Wait is Louis still attached to the project? I thought he left to focus on a new company.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 months ago

Multiple people have said that, yeah. But they also said that he did not particularly distance himself from the project, which is definitely something I would do, if I found out about this kind of backing.

Yarvin has proclaimed that black people are genetically predisposed to a lower IQ than white people

The second part of that is true, because the IQ test is unreliable. That's why its banned in California schools for POC

That statement only has one part. Could you clarify what you mean here? I'm not sure I understand.

[-] nek0d3r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I think it's that the statement in question was proclaimed is the "first part". Or maybe the genetic predisposition is. Unclear.

Wait so FUTO is authored by the guy who started all this clippy movement (Louis Rossmann)?
