If we ever get to the point of a war crimes tribunal, a whole lot of responsibility will be punted off onto AI and the conveniently muddled chain of decision-making that comes with it. In fact, this must be a feature, not a bug www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
Sayonara dog killer. You still must be prosecuted.
"The attack came despite US intelligence assessments that Iran was unlikely to pose an immediate threat to the US mainland within the next decade."

"A weeks-long lobbying effort by Israel and Saudi Arabia..."
Ah. Not just weak, but cheap, too.

All you Chat GPT fans who can’t be arsed to write your own words or think it’s great fun to drain the planet so you can show what your cartoon work persona looks like, well this is what you’re funding. It’s basically Skynet.
Of course non-allies want this vain, greedy buffoon running the US. They can play him like a fiddle and know he is completely untroubled by concerns for his allies or even his own country.
This is an unjust, illegal war. It violates our treaties and our laws. Presidential impunity must end.
The richest man owns X.
The second and third richest men control Google.
The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

Trump acknowledges that Democrats would be better off packing the court.
YES THEY WOULD. IF DEMS WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO ME ABOIT THIS, I HAVE EXTENSIVE NOTES
Trump made $4B in his first year of his second term. Trump is suing the IRS for $10B. Trump just announced the US will contribute $10B to his Board of Peace. A $10 billion contribution to a Board that he chairs without congressional appropriation or authorization.
WAKE THE F*CK UP AMERICA.
good thing so many schools over-complied in advance🙃
Of all the things we are doing in MN, this one is just beyond. Imagine being released from hell alone in the cold. And a total stranger has waited all night with a blanket just to be ready to hug you and carry you home. Every job we do is crucial, but this one is what restores humanity and dignity.
The Dept. of War started announcing WEXMAC TITUS awardees in September, and the most recent list dropped on Friday.
One new vendor is GEO Group, the private prison company that already runs some of ICE's most brutal prisons. CoreCivic, another private prison group, was an earlier awardee.
😲 This is THE most amazing thing I've seen this year. (And that's saying something!)
A ResistDance retelling of ICE murdering Renee Good & Alex Pretti enacted through dance‼️😭
Performed by First Amendment Troop in DC. 🤍
The acting director of ICE told Congress, under oath, that local law enforcement in Colorado leaked raid plans, allowing gang members to escape.
After 9NEWS questioned ICE's claim and its timeline, ICE deleted the claim from its social media platforms.
This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
“That’s not a paragraph”
1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A Reddit post that reads: Ohio Conservatives PAC Facebook page posted this image. I think that this is AI because of the size of the people relative to the buildings, the uniformity of the signage, and the size of the table relative to the people. Is this AI?
AI is literally a consent manufacturing machine.
'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once
