Nothing 2a is sort of bare android, it works. There are supposedly good motorolas but no idea about that.
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
People wonder why demographics (not only but boomers are a great ex in my experience) that are most addicted to meta, so much doomscrolling while they watch TV or eat dinner, are numb to fascism. The line between reality and nonsense fash fiction is blurred. Why should they care about what's real?
Attacks leave dead vs killed
omg, nailed
…I've said it so many fucking times, now, but I'll say it again, that it's really fucking messed up that all of these conversations seek to apply to fucking LLMs a standard of personhood we still don't consistently and meaningfully apply to other fucking humans.
…You don't get to open up philosophically loaded words like "consciousness" and "sentience" and "souls" without actually thinking through what they mean if they apply; it's not all shiny fun happy times of "gee whiz bang! honest to gosh AI!" There's real implications to that label, and I know that…
So… I've been writing for about 18 years on the idea that if you somehow manage to make meaningfully conscious machine minds & then you treat them as tools, then you're enslaving those minds, and that's pretty messed up. And this ties into something else I've re-upped recently: LLMs can't say "No."
Amazing how the ball knowers on here were like “they’re going to run out of military targets in a week” and they immediately start hitting economic/civilians infrastructure on day 8
This is why I stick up for Lebanon: a country whose regime is rubbish in so many ways but not evil, nor ever involved in invading others (surely a record in the region) yet routinely bombed and invaded while no-one gives a fuck except some brave UN peacekeepers who also routinely get bombed.
In 2013 Aaron Swartz committed suicide for facing 35 years in prison for mass downloading scientific articles.
13 years later, Meta is almost getting away with an infraction orders of magnitude larger.
The law didn't change.

Israel attacked UN forces in Lebanon. It’s nowhere near the first time either.
What's funny is that we know from generations of experiments that human memory is ridiculously, cartoonishly malleable.
People manipulating their pictures like this are literally fucking with their memories. They will remember that event differently, because of the meddling afterwards.

Beside Israel's northern border fence, the bursts of machine-gun fire from inside Lebanon are loud and long, as new Israeli forces push in to take strategic positions near the border. The regular rumble of air strikes echoes over the shattered remains of Shia villages, destroyed during Israel's last ground war there in 2024. A senior military official said on Thursday that Israeli ground forces were taking additional hilltops inside Lebanon - a defensive operation, he said, to better protect Israel's northern communities. But there has been a significant military build-up here. On Friday morning we passed dozens of tanks and armoured bulldozers, newly-positioned right by the border, fuelling growing speculation that a full-scale ground invasion is planned.
Hundreds of thousands of Lebanese civilians have been fleeing Israeli air strikes in Lebanon over the past few days, less than 18 months after a ceasefire ended the last conflict with Israel in November 2024. During that war, Israel fought its way house to house through many Lebanese border villages. Their crushed remains still litter the landscape. But some Hezbollah fighters have reportedly returned to these areas, and Israel is now fighting its way through the area again. Without those assaults on Hezbollah in 2024, which left a key Iranian proxy severely weakened, Israel would have found it much harder to launch its current war on Iran - or the previous one in June last year - without a much higher cost at home.
This is the language used by the BBC to describe Israel's war on Lebanon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Cited: IDF Chief of Staff, Israeli living near the border, another Israeli, an Israeli politician and a Israeli commentator. No one else.
The Lebanese are just numbers throughout the piece.
A reminder that much of this started because Netanyahu and Trump did not want to go to jail for crimes they almost certainly committed.
This.
If they told users that using a traditional payment method jeopardized anonymity in the sign up process, they may have not had data to hand over, and their peepees wouldn't have been so hurt by someone reporting on it.
They could've addressed that. But instead we get the "fake news" defense.
… CNN now reporting that the US was “likely responsible” for the school bombing, based on their own analysis. Feels like this is approaching a media saturation point where the general public is gonna have in their heads that we killed those girls, and the administration will have to address it.

two million gallons of water per day
information only released under court order & risk of contempt
I have only just recently started digging into data centres and water, and the way companies are hiding vital information is beyond belief. It is so, so dodgy.
The entire project to widely popularise the idea these concerns are "fake" makes so much sense in this context
Yes, we’ve entered the nightmare era when machines decide on kills. My thoughts are with Sarah Connor at this difficult time.

Like clockwork.
the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year
the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Tonight, two of the white nationalists I reported on in this piece showed up to attempt to intimidate me on a private night out at a small music venue.
I’ll have more to say tomorrow. I’m safe.
