Americans are so fucking cooked

”inkhorn“ is an adjective to describe words that are only really understood by a small circle of academics and I’m always delighted by the mise-en-abime of how much that word can be applied to itself ❤️‍🔥

this is not surprising to me and the question is will this accumulating body of evidence change anything futurism.com/artificial-i...

Dites, on est bien dans une république qui a abolir les privilèges et la noblesse, je me trompe pas ?

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

Commentators on all sides of the political spectrum have warned on social media that a nuclear strike on Iran is a possibility.

they're literally doing the meme

wanted to buy: opposition party that actually opposes "a whole civilization will die tonight"

Repeal the Hague Invasion Act

people in the onu have quit citing nuclear bombings plans. He had to fire most of his military leadership in the last few days. he has talked extensively for years about his desire to use the nuclear bomb. if nobody stops him we are maybe ours away from nuclear war.

This is explicitly genocidal

"What can be done?" Stop using AI, you shower of arseholes.

> consider the case of computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton’s 2016 declaration that “we should stop training radiologists now” Since then, extensive research has shown this to have been premature, to say the least

It doesn't matter what other powers they nominally have on paper, including lawmaking. A legislature that doesn't control the checkbook is impotent, and an executive who does is a tyrant.

my pal @lizhackett.bsky.social is one of the funniest people on this doomed planet

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

It's so important to understand how evil this rhetorical move they are playing is... It's really just not possible to do what they claim. 4/ bsky.app/profile/oliv...

This movement has never been about violent criminal aliens, undocumented immigrants writ large, or even immigration in general, but about the country’s changing ethnic and religious makeup. It has always been about white Christian nationalism.

This is Apartheid. It's morally disgusting - and comes at the same time as Israel is committing an ongoing genocide. To see the Labour Government defend Israel repeatedly will horrify the British public - it cannot go on like this.

labour prime minister being anti striking workers really shows how much blairites are ideologically closer to thatcher than to actual labor movements innit

Borrowing a thing I saw on Twitter:

Housing first is the best way to end homelessness.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

The complicity of universities cannot be understated... The few of us fighting back aren't enough. openletter.earth/open-letter-...

One could say that Louis XVI died of very bad approval ratings !

Everyone is celebrating this because it's good. But it’s important to remember it's also funny.

People adding “I don’t want to be de-skilled“ to their pre-prompts: • why do you think LLM providers don’t put that in the default pre-prompts? • do you think most people want to be de-skilled and hence they cater to that? • do you hope the machine can understand this? Save you from de-skilling?

You’re going to want to sit down for this one, because it’ll come as a big shock, but: they mean “drive out the people who live in southern Lebanon, demolish the existing towns and cities then replace them with a million crank psycho settlers”.
