Oh nice the thing I worry about every single time I walk across a city grate happened.

AI and the illegal war “No stupid rules of engagement.” That was Pete Hegseth, the American war secretary, boasting during a press conference about the approach with which he and...

AI is central to this illegal war.

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida

passive voice final boss grand champion honorable mention award for turning slurs into a sentient thing that can do actions www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

I’m still in disbelief that Capitol Police and a Republican senator broke the arm of a Marine in full dress uniform because he was voicing opposition to sending troops to Iran. Horrifying.

alternate headline: The U.S. Nazi Party started a group chat for young Nazis and the young Nazis began doing Nazi shit

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

He’s turned into Laura Loomer

SIRI WHAT IS A FUCKING HISTORY TEXTBOOK

o wait we already burned them all except the ones published by Ghislaine's daddy

lolsob

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

“I oppose the war but I voted to fund it because I had no choice” will be the talking point of too many.

A knock on the window and a glimpse of America’s surveillance future “This is taking a big and very scary step toward a kind of totalitarian checkpoint society,” a privacy advocate warns in a special France 24–Mother Jones report.

“It’s dystopian. It’s like Black Mirror stuff.”

This is Mobile Fortify, an app used by DHS that allows officers to photograph a person’s face and immediately query databases for matches against passport records, visa files, and border entry photos.

Our latest with @france24.com:

On top of the concentration camps, kidnapping, and murders, the news now reports ICE is buying microwave tech to kill the car engines of first amendment legal observers. And Democrats are still not even asking to claw back the 2025 budget increases.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

i can't say it enough - this is the best book i read last year. (and i read a lot, due to my inability to sleep ever at any point) it will change your life. you have to read it. i cannot recommend it enough.

Technocapitalists’ great trick is to make people who hate all this bullshit feel like they’re suffering from the same fogeys-not-coping-with-a-changing-world syndrome every generation succumbs to, rather than, say, just rejecting a rampant evil that seeks to rob us of our individuality & and soul.

Parents Tried to Shield Their Children From Vaccines. Instead They Got Measles.

A little confused by "instead" here.

The saying isn't "fuck around, instead find out"

We'd all be happier if we lived somewhere walkable (The Deep Space Nine space station)

My question is and will always be: why should I read something if no one could be bothered to write it?

"It's inevitable, you might as well lie back and enjoy it"

I'd rather not outsource my knowledge production to a giant environment destroying rape culture theft machine. Thanks anyway.

"Hallucinating content is concerning, and researchers should always verify their sources."

Just write the paper, oh my god! You are just doing the same thing with extra steps

It is a nice little insight into how explicitly the project of mass AI adoption involves convincing people that they actually suck at this thing and that it would be better to just turn it over to a chatbot.

This completely misunderstands the research process including the point of doing literature reviews. Claude’s “analysis” treats research as paint by numbers regurgitation of pre-existing work.

Kustov & folks who share these views need to give up their jobs in favor of those who want to research.

I think the responses fall into how I describe why I don't use generative AI: I enjoy the meaning-making process even if it's inefficient.

Reading and thinking allow us to make meaning within our disciplines, but some disciplines (or students within them) have forgotten their theory of knowledge

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

wishing a very SLEEP WITH ONE EYE OPEN to all other anti-trans Democrats nervously looking ahead to their own primaries

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

Again: Not hyperbole, misinterpretation, or a joke that Christian Dominionism is a strain of apocalyptic accelerationism which VERY LITERALLY SEEKS to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world, & the people who believe this have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power
