"Look, I understand the anxiety. I really do. It’s uncomfortable realizing that the same technology that drafts awkward emails and pretends to be your therapist also shines in the cruelty department and may one day bomb you out of existence."

AI companies tell you every day that you are too stupid and helpless to think for yourself.
DOD “unshackled” strikes from the rules of engagement and AI suggested the targets.
Worth noting that SECDEF — KNOWING this — came out yesterday and gave a speech about raining death and destruction down from the sky with the aid of loosened rules of engagement. “Punching them when they’re down.”
Murdering kids at school.
“Never meant to be a fair fight” indeed.
"No stupid rules of engagement." — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, March 2, 2026
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East." — Reuters, March 5, 2026
I think one of the most staggering industry shifts in my 16 years as a tech reporter is that it’s not become a question of “should our product help the government kill and/or surveil people?” but “to what extent?”

This isn’t just impeachable, this is criminal negligence and in a just society everyone involved (including the weapons officer who released the munitions) should face prison. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I *swear* my download client pulling 1.6TB moves faster when its application window is in the foreground.
Like it knows I’m checking up on it and is hustling to look busy.

The phone scammer with a fake rental listing is not far removed from the subprime auto lender or the private equity-owned hotel/apartment complex.
The hotel that locks up and sells the personal property of its tenants is not far removed from a petty thief.
I finished this last night, and it is a devastating if not necessarily surprising read.
Poverty and homelessness are defined by a ceaseless deluge of scams – some illegal, MANY legal – designed to extract maximum profit from those who can least afford it.
This is a choice we make as a country.
“Don’t let Claude into your actual file system” but let it make life or death decisions that could lead to a school full of children being hit by multiple strikes.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
I would edit: It incentivizes taxpayer to donate to scholarship organizations, which them provide funds to WHOMEVER THEY DECIDE. There are no giving criteria, need-based or otherwise. & it's not "parental choice." The entity exercising choice over use of public funds here is the org, not the family.
BPD think they’re above the law. City Councillors Weber and Santana last August filed a “17F” request for information on all memoranda of understanding between federal agencies and the City of Boston, including ICE. BPD had ten days to respond. Six months later, Weber and Santana are still waiting.
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
All it takes to debunk the theory that thousands of kids were pushed into gender-affirming surgeries is to talk to literally any trans person who has tried to get gender-affirming care of ANY kind. It's extremely difficult.
Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.
The curtains are there so they can cover up the list of grievances that apply to both Trump and King George III.
Scrolled down for just this joke.

We’ve spent the last 2 years “right-sizing” (closing) Boston Public Schools, because enrollment dropped.
Anyone think there will ever be an effort to “right-size” the BPD, given the low crime rates in the city?
You can safely assume the poor are getting screwed any time there’s a massive gap between strategies the well off use to support their kid’s success, compared to those used by the poor.
Councilor Fitzgerald must think that people are only part of a neighborhood if they’ve lived there 40 years.
It sounds as if the girls' school bombed in Iran used to be part of an IRGC base, but was separated at least a decade ago. One wonders if people selecting targets were working off old materials. The visuals are horrifying.
Imagine having one of the most influential journalism positions in the world and using it to launder the most obscene war crimes.
An estimated 1 MILLION people died as a result of the “Global War on Terror.”
Children murdered, weddings bombed, people tortured, families destroyed.
FOR WHAT!?
Those of us who angrily protested that invasion haven’t forgotten how corporate media marginalized us and a country willing to abandon its own constitution did its best to silence us.
We’ve lived most of our lives amid these forever wars. We’ve lost friends and family members to them.
For WHAT!?
I was in college in the run up to the second Iraq war.
Despite a full-court press by the Bush administration in the media, many people knew the invasion was based on a lie.
But we live in a country that fetishizes military action, and there was too much money to be made by many powerful people.
