The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.
And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.
NEW: Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.
After watching this slimy corporation play host to maraudering ICE nazis here in its home state of MN, there’s no chance our family will shop there again… unless, maybe, possibly, we see it become 7000% more woke then before you became Greg Bovino’s fuckin concierge.

Its one thing to read the histories and realize that fascism is an ideology by and for weird losers who suck at everything, and another to live through it
i'd also argue that of all the people getting worse at expressing ourselves through language, americans are doing it at a more accelerated rate.
“The ability of the US, Israel and Gulf Arab states to weather Iran’s retaliatory strikes will depend on how many missile interceptors they have — and stocks are most likely dangerously low after intense combat with the Islamic Republic last year.” — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Yes, we know perfectly well that nothing on earth can shake you out of your vulgar liberal complacency.

Trump has decisively collapsed the US empire’s sleight of hand. There is no distinction or space between the brutality of the colony and the empire itself. ICE has brought home colonial barbarity. USAID has disappeared, along with the facade of imperial benevolence.
Paramount Skydance’s $111 billion bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. will strain its credit rating, an S&P Global Ratings analyst said, even if the combined company could ultimately cut its debt levels over time. S&P Global Ratings has a BB+ rating for Paramount Skydance, the highest junk level. The entertainment company this week clinched a deal for Warner Bros. after Netflix dropped out. “The amount of debt this combined company will have is enormous, something like $80 billion, and given what leverage will look like for this combined company, it’s pretty obvious that there’s a lot of pressure on this rating,” said Naveen Sarma, an analyst at S&P, in an interview with Bloomberg on Friday. “The leverage would be higher than what is acceptable for this rating.”
I've seen a lot of coverage of the deal but not much on how it's tanked Paramount's credit rating
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new
My god this story.
Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture.
Understood instantly what it meant.
So I put this piece on the NYC Public Servants subreddit and someone responded that the jump in debt service in FY28 that Mamdani will face is due to construction costs associated with Borough-Based Jails construction replacing Rikers!! www.constructiondive.com/news/nyc-que...

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.
People fighting the expansion of ICE concentration camps are winning. Don’t give up until the number is zero!! If you see your town on this list, you have the power to do something impactful!
It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.
They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
At some point all of these very smart, very sensible, very moderate, very centrist politicians are going to have to grow up, own their shit, and accept the consequences of holding a position on Israel's right to commit genocide which alienates a statistically significant bloc of the electorate.

The scandal involving Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas) keeps getting worse. The Texas lawmaker is alleged to have had an affair with a congressional staffer who later ended her life by self-immolation. Newly released text messages show the Republican lawmaker repeatedly pressured the staffer to send him explicit photos. In more normal times, Gonzales's behavior would prompt a swift resignation and condemnatory statements from party leadership. But the Republican majority in the House is in dire straits: With the balance of power in the chamber resting at 218-214, the GOP can afford only two defections? with full attendance before they lose their ability to pass legislation. House Speaker Mike Johnson knows all about the hazards of his shrunken majority; it's a problem he's at grips with week in and week out. It's only natural, then, that he would be reluctant to do anything that could further shrink his majority. In the Capitol Monday, Johnson made a very high-minded-sounding statement to a gaggle of reporters that he wants the investigations into Gonzales to play out before making any kind of judgment.
