She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

The irony, of course, is that no one in the modern era has cared as much about what other people think of them as Epstein and the men around him. Also, I'm again struck by these men- who are *obsessed* with human intelligence- not seeming to have any idea what it is.

I drew a face on a paper plate. Who could even begin to understand how it perceives the world or what it dreams of?

Think back to February 2020.
If you were paying close attention, you might have noticed a few people talking about a virus spreading overseas. But most of us weren't paying close attention. The stock market was doing great, your kids were in school, you were going to restaurants and shaking hands and planning trips. If someone told you they were

It took just one weekend for the new, self-proclaimed king of open source AI models to have its crown tarnished.
Reflection 70B, a variant of Meta's Llama 3.1 open source large language model (LLM) - or wait, was it a variant of the older Llama 3? — that had been trained and released by small New York startup HyperWrite (formerly OthersideAI) and boasted impressive, leading benchmarks on third-party tests, has now been aggressively questioned as other third-party evaluators have failed to reproduce some of said performance measures.

Keep being sent this completely nonsensical hogslop. It has multiple egregious lies, which is appropriate because he’s a fraud. Back in September 2024 he falsified a bunch of benchmarks to hype up his open source model. Article is total dogshit. I should annotate it venturebeat.com/ai/reflectio...

The Education Department's efforts to fire staff cost over $28 million, watchdog says A new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office calculates the cost of efforts to fire civil rights staff and questions the department's ability to enforce federal civil rights laws.

These guys are really keeping costs down!

DHS ramps up surveillance in immigration raids, sweeping in citizens The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis is providing insights into the surveillance technologies the government is using in its mass deportation campaign.

They have all these unethical toys that still get it wrong and sweep up citizens.

Weaponizing incompetence.

Tech can't be held accountable, not that ICE is anyway.

With so little oversight and transparency, lack of due process, how long before these errors are used against their enemies?

"It wasn't okay for the nazis to kill that nurse in cold blood. Nurses are heroes." Almost no one I know has a heroic career. How many little nothing-people like us equal a hero? How many people you know would be worth speaking up for

There are fewer companies more identified with MN than Target, though they’re national now. And I heard they actually used to be a decent corporate citizen, as much as that is ever possible.

But they’ve betrayed us all to curry favor with nazis. So make sure you tell ‘em why you #BoycottTarget.

Anyways, that concept led me to look up the governing law provision in the Starlink terms of service. And here’s where the legal drafting veers into mania. starlink.com/legal/docume...

The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement.

If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.
