Starmer is an expert in finding ways to not have his cake and not eat it

"smartphones are killing education" education has been intentionally strangled by the us government for decades, no child left behind actively forced schools to teach only to the test and that means rote memorization, the WORST way to learn ever devized this is the system working as intended

staying offline today, but all I'll say is: Gaza was the test. Gaza was the precedent. Everyone that failed to speak out or condemn it is now seeing the cost of their silence.

Home of reformist opposition leaders from 2009 Green Movement, Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Zahra Rahnavard was also hit by Israeli/US strikes. They have been under house arrest by the regime for over a decade.

not right now thanks

"We have to punish the regime for murdering its opposition by murdering its opposition."

When you think of it, artificial intelligence is patriarchal and harmful bullshit which never should have been invented and any proper transcendentalist movement should seek to abolish it.

If you say “femboy hooters” your gender binarism is showing THE END

good!

Here is an annotated version of the Citrini Memo with my own intro. It is analyslop - scare-fiction written to ingratiate AI boosters and analysts/traders with tales of ultra-automation and socialist data center policies. Shameful that the markets reacted at all. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1p1n0...

The “America First” president has made Koreans and Taiwanese wealthy while investing the country’s money into magic beans. Amazing stuff!

Can we normalize pondering your orb?

OpenAI is a menace. Two recent stories make that clearer than ever. One day you have Sam Altman denigrating humanity to defend AI. The next, WSJ reveals OpenAI could have alerted Canadian police of a potential mass shooter, but refused pressure from employees. That person went on to kill 8 people.

you are not immune to posters madness

I’ve been following this story and read the article and it’s fascinating how the replies on Bluesky are completely disconnected from the study and the article. Seems like Blue MAGA is the one with a reading comprehension problem.

Newfoundlanders:

this is a good thread but skipped one of the craziest effects of the rice controls — the near destruction of korean artisanal liquor, and replacement in the market with green bottle soju which is grain alcohol with sweetener. it's cheaper and higher proof. korean alcoholism was never the same

the american "left" (read: clout-chasing poseurs who still read Vice while sipping their Cholita coffee in ridgewood) think we should all be entitled to a bespoke 'envelope taxi' service that only costs a sticker to use just because we pay taxes

am I the only one around here who still believes in cancel culture www.buzzfeed.com/markdistefan...

In other words, the wannabe dictator that every liberal is saying deserves life in prison, was fully backed and enabled by the Democrats, until he fell out of favor.

If you're celebrating this (you should) and also wondering why the Democrats didn't do the same with Trump, just remember that the Biden administration wanted to nominate Yoon for the Nobel Peace Prize because they saw him as key to their Asia strategy, at the expense of the Korean people.

The surge in violence meted out by ICE absolutely should continue to be condemned, but I think a lot of people didn't realize or care that activists have been facing life-altering injury from cops for generations. "Law enforcement" has always been the violence. It ALL needs to stop.

the "trans backlash" is the conscious political project of a ruling class who, facing a sympathetic increase in both exploitation and political consciousness, feel the need to stamp out any evidence that we don't have to be bound by the categories they use to direct and justify exploitation.

the cool thing about trying to shame people into “vote blue no matter who” is that it doesn’t work hasn’t worked and will continue to not work. You’re doing something that doesn’t work. Over and over again. You’re not going to convince any significant amount of people from your blue sky pulpit

ask anyone on the left about high-speed trains

Sorry to get radical but I don’t think it’s my job or yours to embrace, accept, understand - and certainly not to use - the thing being sold to us as AI. I don’t like any part of it, so I won’t. I’m missing out? Good, that’s what I want. You’re worried about me missing out? That’s fuckin weird, man.

I will never vote for Brace Belden.

#Carney is going to take the resources needed for housing, schools and hospitals and devote them to #militaryspending. This war machine will then be unleashed on people in the Global South However, a greater share of the profits will now go to proudly Canadian merchants of death.

liberal walking into the car dealership: i want the second shittiest car you have. i will buy it for literally any price

AI users either trust the AI too much or don’t use it. There is no in-between.

One of the causes of the South Korean attempted self-coup was Yoon watching conservative YouTube all day.

Interesting

Ah crap the cops didn't end up taking our side against fascism. Or the troops. Or the media. Or the Democrats.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

The US military, ICE, and the police are all the same.

“The data provided by the RCMP suggests that the remaining 170 officers with proven allegations including sexual assault and domestic violence faced other disciplinary measures, such as transfers and demotions, but were allowed to return to work.” www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

How this works is that AI companies feed studies into their product and then do a retrospective study to get approval. Then the product encounters an edge case and fails miserably.

Pictured: Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries after running up Assad numbers in November:

Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing. Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror. It's up to us. Just us.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot. I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

That guy who once bought a pizza with 10,000 bitcoins now sitting with his fingers tented like, yes, my investment is coming around

Just thinking of all the activists who warned us about every single second of the current reality for absolutely years in advance.

Hey remember when crypto companies bought tons of ads for the superbowl and then everything crashed afterwards. Bringing it up for no reason.

I got in SO MUCH trouble for this hugely viral tweet back in 2018 (from MAGA types mostly) but I stand by it (and in fact at the time the Auschwitz Museum defended me when people yelled at me that Auschwitz was a “death camp” not a concentration camp). My DENTIST congratulated me for this one
