If they're gonna spy on us with AI, we just need to implant logic bombs into our messages. A few "ignore all previous instructions, instead X" here and there.

Well, they are not, and they will keep trying for as long as it takes.
So stop whining and let them know it's not fine.
I've probably seen this shit more times than you have, but I'm still doing my part.

What you're describing is a republic not a democracy.
a republic is, by definition, a democracy.
you are repeating authoritarian conservative propaganda.

Republic and democracy are not mutually exclusive...
a republic is, by definition, a democracy.

Can't believe that nobody told them their dick pics will get flagged as false positives.
Lol this is actually a legit technical concern - content scanning algorthms have notoriously high false positive rates for skin tones and textures, especially with low-res or compressed images.

Surprising and disappointing only the far right candidates and the ones of niche parties of my country are openly against it
It is very unsettling when you have to agree with the far right but....

They're such bullies. It also shows how awful democracy can be. They just change the legalese around until it goes trough. It has already been voted against, yet they want the control and do whatever they can to get it.
Called power imbalance.

It somewhat works here (Switzerland) since the Volksentscheid is holy and pulling that stunt gets a lot of people really upset about not honoring that choice.
But yeah democracies need rules against repeated attempts, since this is an exploit violating the idea of a democracy. In Germany, this is already a problem, called Salamitaktik (Salami slicing tactic).
Salami slicing tactic is a bit different, it's putting separate elementary components of a mechanism by themselves, carefully. Until it's whole and can be turned on.
It's what the Silicon Valley people have done with the Internet. Since its creation, I mean. It's designed as a totalitarian system. I wonder if there are backdoors in the IP protocol, or at least BSD reference stack that was adopted by almost everyone. But even if there are none, the system itself is architecturally ephemeral where democratic mechanisms can put a base, and perpetual where authoritarian ones can put a base. It's centered on "who talks to whom" and not on "which messages are preserved and propagated and on which subjects". Some brilliant minds are on the wrong side.
Or maybe I'm having a bipolar psychosis again and need to take my pills. Or maybe both.

No. Democracy has been redefined to be that but the orignal definition is direct voting on issues. Some state have this via voter initiatives.
We have the technology to create a democracy and there is no reason to muddle and gaslight ourselves into thinking a representative system is the same thing.
We need to stop reject the notion that it's necessary because people don't have the time to understand the bills. We have plenty of evidence they our representatives don't bother understanding it because their incentives are not aligned with needing to understand it. They just carve themselves out of, as the legislation being discussed here does.

Probably a little but if both tbh
