Wish I could internalize this

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

New meme dropped for basically all news every day

Anyone who has worked in / adjacent to trust & safety teams in big tech will tell you there's no way the X team didn't consider the potential for Grok to undress people ahead of releasing it. Yet they released it anyway. 🧵 1/n

Not one word of condemnation by our government of Trump's illegal act of war in Venezuela. Not one word.

Fuck Trump. Fuck Rubio. Fuck America.

So, to clarify, spray-painting a plane is terrorism, holding a sign to support the organisation those that spray-painted the plane were members of is terrorism, but taking a foreign head of state hostage needs to wait for a press conference from the hostage taker for nuance?

Nigel Farage wants to get rid of the NHS and replace it with US style insurance. Can you afford $50,000 for a broken leg, $500,000 for a new heart, or $2,000,000 for cancer. Or are you dying?

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Every American should be ashamed of who we are and what we have become as a nation today. We have a long history of military misadventures and even crimes but the attacks we have been conducting on Venezuela are among the most wanton, egregious and least defensible acts we’ve ever conducted.

“It’s bad luck Ghorman. We need what's in the ground, and when we're done, there won't be much left to call home."

There should be sanctions on the US.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Finished Pluribus. Nailed it in two days. Amazing. Can’t wait for series 2.

AI companies are playing a game wherein these computer programs are presented to the public as autonomous individuals capable of issuing a meaningful apology. The machine is just a machine. Human beings owe the apology for building the machine irresponsibly and unleashing it on the world.

Why? Well to placate a bunch of racists and to send a signal to non white British people with recent immigrant ancestors that their citizenship has less value than Tommy Robinson's. I mean I assume that's the message.

A vulnerable child was groomed and trafficked and then subjected to the most shocking experiences imaginable including the deaths of her babies. Instead of taking responsibility the British establishment stripped her of her citizenship and dumped her like old rubbish. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just started Pluribus. Wow, that a first episode.

The greatest and often unreported irony here is that the Alt-Right's WHOLE FUCKING PITCH to young men was "get your shit together, hit the gym, help us turn this country around, and you will be swimming in women" only for "Who did you vote for in '24?" to be the inflection point of their loneliness.

Was a nice day today. Love seeing the moon in the daytime.

There’s Easter things in the shop. EASTER.

My sincere year-end thought isn’t an original one, but its importance has been underscored to me repeatedly over the last 12 months: be free with telling the people you love that you love them, casually, and at every chance. Great love, small love, every type of love.

Bought sweets at services on the M62 with David Beckham.

“Is he dead yet?” should be the first question asked at every White House press conference. “OK, but it’s happening soon, right?” should be the second. And then maybe “how fucked are you all once he’s dead and can’t pardon you anymore?” if they’re still at the lectern

I already agree with this in principle - citizenship is an untouchable status or it is nothing - but also for reasons of prudence. “The Home Sec can revoke citizenship when he/she deems someone’s online output sufficiently offensive” is a v dangerous precedent to set with Reform leading all polls.

When I was in Egypt doing archaeology (I am basically Indiana Jones) there were obelisks by the roads with “Hosni Mubarak” written out in hieroglyphs. Same vibe.

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

Remember: When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them. When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips. ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.

Hunting is completely impractical, causes immense damage to farming, benefits nobody and is very cruel indeed. No wonder Britain's leading Brexiter backs it.

One of fascist Russia's Shahed attack drones dives into a bus stop in Bila Tserkva, a town about 80km south of Kyiv. The drone, undamaged, was in its programmed attack dive - this was its intended target. Terrorism - down to the Nazi Stuka-bomber dive siren attached to the drone.

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

The Express will keep doing this. Churning out anger and division. They don’t take a day off, even on Christmas Day. But this Christmas I’m inviting you to choose something different: Humanity. Kindness. Hope.

Tiny Tim, who did NOT hit her. He did not. Oh hi, ghost

Merry Xmas, BlueSkyers.

A patently stupid and self-destructive idea, pushed by very entitled people who had nothing to lose and Putins disinformation machine and voted for in large part by bigots who thought it would make this country great again. All to the colossal detriment of the UK. F*** them all a million times.

Jesus christ, Kier. What are you playing at.

Good episode that. And a worthy champion of Champions. #Taskmaster

A prize task round worthy of a Champion of Champions. #Taskmaster

DESTROY AI.

There is no neutral reason to own this much media. Billionaires do not buy news outlets out of civic duty. They buy them to shape what gets seen, softened or buried. When stories on 60 minutes that are critical of trump vanish, stop pretending it’s coincidence. Power protects power. #Resist

Johnson threatens everyone with a good time.

celebrities as lord of the rings characters: thread

I'm an "A.i." abolitionist. No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything. Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine. But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires? No.

Generative AI platforms are bullshit machines based on stolen intellectual property. Why are *any* of you still using then for anything significant?

This is ridiculous. There clearly has not been a 660% increase in terrorism in the UK over the past year. How much is it costing the criminal justice system to arrest and prosecute all these people for the crime of wearing a t-shirt or holding a placard? news.sky.com/story/terror...

When oh when are the British people going to receive an apology from Nigel Farage and the other UKIP liars!

I mean that’s just Michael Gove.
