"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier." I'm honestly speechless.

Aren't people tired of playing the imitation game over and over by now?

Good old fashioned automation, nothing more.

In all Horkheimer’s drafts (40/41) for the ISR’s “Research Project on Anti-Semitism,” a whole section (II) of the project is dedicated to a crit of Zionism—treated as the middle between (I) past wrong/one-sided theories of AS & (III) openly anti-Semitic theories of AS

This should be good.

Great little thread

⛓️CONCENTRATION CAMPS & INCINERATORS—D.H.S. is setting up a huge network of camps. They are converting the U.S. as a region for ‘expeditionary military deployment’ & no-bid no-public-comment contracts to build a “ghost network” of 10,000-person concentration camps. Jesus. Thread 🧵

baffling that the media isn’t making more of an issue out of how carney is gutting key federal agencies/depts and what that’s going to mean for gov capacity when we’re supposed to be more independent and capable. food inspection, health canada, statscan, global affairs — all being cut, and more

These people are miserable.

where are my method-heads at you all are going to love this one open.substack.com/pub/jamescra...

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Hoping I can make it to all of these.

Holy fucking shit this is awesome use this now cybernews.com/security/dev...

I am currently sitting in a meeting while we plan how to handle this. We will be pulling teachers from regular classes in order to teach our hybrid students. Classes are being rearranged, learning disrupted. The federal government is at war with us and we are feeing it at every level of society.

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

Me on LLMs, Grok especially, as epistemic weapons:

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and Trump's personal Gestapo is randomly executing American citizens. But at least now there won't be any non-binary characters on the new Paw Patrol spin-off.

It's clear 2025 was the year we pretended, or were told to pretend, that "agents" were the next revolution. They're not, as the technology is a fantasy. It's also clear, if you saw CES coverage yesterday, that 2026 is year the pretending moves to imaginary robot slaves. This will also fail.

What a great headline

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

Sales of AI-enabled teddy bear suspended after it gave advice on BDSM sex and where to find knives

I am liking the new Danny Brown album.

Essay lenght but well worth the read.

Suleyman is also the guy who proposed that the new Turing-test should be based on whether an AI can function as a capitalist, of the merchant variety specifically. If I recall correctly, there was also some specific dollar amount he mentioned.

We used to say that the Crypto hype and the AI hype were different. That crypto was just a bunch of grifters stealing people's money but AI had at least some actual tech. Looking at how the AI companies manipulate each other's stock value I am not sure that statement is still true.

If you’re local stop by!

seeing halo on playstation must be what it felt like to see a mcdonalds in moscow in 1990

Now they're pulling out Entartete Kunst from the Nazi deck of cards.

They're really doubling down on the "AI are persons with rights" argument.

When you live in AI Slopworld™️ anything non-AI is a brand differentiator.

genuinely what the fuck is an "ai skill" that isn't basic reading comprehension, skepticism, the ability to evaluate sources, and, like, typing?

Why?

Altman is Musk 2.0 in promising the moon.

Thank you @paris.nyc.

Every time I read another story about a deal OpenAI has made and how much that deals has pumped stock prices, the less it feels like a bubble and the more like a literal Ponzi scheme

I read this headline ad "on the cemetary"

100% agree.

hmm this Art. it speaks to me

Feeling more and more like we need to spend less time imagining precise analogies to Germany in the 1930s—some of which are real to be clear—and start thinking more about what happened to Russia from 1992-the 2010s

And it's their machine god that will, since the other companies (or China) are unethical and will use it for harm, therefore, full speed ahead to get there first. The road to the "inevitable" is paved with deliberate decisions.

Ted nails iy yet again. Great thread.

The imperial boomerang, even in the language used.
