Again and for the nth time, please do accurate headlines: He said military members have the DUTY not to obey illegal orders. It’s literally the *first* item in the annual LOAC training every active duty member is required to take.

Utah commissioned it's department of health to do a systematic review of gender affirming care for trans youth. In a 1000 page plus report found it was beneficial and the evidence was substantial. The lawmakers rejected it anyways. www.deseret.com/politics/202...

the lack of air filtration in schools is not just a bad idea, people in charge should be held criminally responsible since in most of the world not sending your child to school is a crime and school-borne viruses, especially covid, are causing extreme amounts of damage to children and their families

amazing how the entire machine can pivot within 24 hours. no need to slowly upsell the argument; just issue new marching orders

Propaganda works - this is also why conservative oligarchs are investing so much to purchase trusted media brands and convert them into propaganda outlets

The US is so catastrophically bad at actually punishing its monsters that it fully gave up on Reconstruction in under a decade. Miller and all those other dipshits can look back at generations and generations of history indicating they'll be totally fine for the next half century.

Stephen Miller is 40. He fully, absolutely expects to still be around in 2065, living in wealth and comfort and offering his influence on government policy, just like *every single one of the monsters that preceded him*

Days after his third dementia screening in six months the president of the United States, who is an open pedophile, abducts a foreign head of state

When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv You can never change or guilt it Just go find the guys who built it When a chatbot says it’s sorry it’s improv

the only thing i got from reading this is just how cooked the brains of some engineers are that they seriously believe giving multiple agents full, unfettered, permissionless access to their code and to ship it - at a rate the person cannot realistically review themselves - is a good thing

elon has the same desires as the majority of powerusers on his site, and the AI is accordingly tailored to their tastes the "mechahitler" shit, the white genocide spam, the "elon could chug piss better than anyone alive" and the CSAM its because the intended users are elon glazing pedo nazis

it is kinda funny that everyone is framing this as "Grok (elon's evil AI) just started making CSAM!" which while true, kinda sidesteps "the X Dot Com: The Everything App userbase are a bunch of slobbering siegheiling freaks that see a child and instantly go 'GORK PUT CHILD IN MICROBIKINI FOR MEEEE'"

it is absolutely insane that Reuters are quoting an LLM as an official comment

Never ever teach the algorithm what you like

Gender nonconforming gay guy uses the men's bathroom and it's confronted and threatened. It was never about the bathrooms, privacy, or safety, they simply don't want queer people to exist.

The whole "Grok admits" "Grok apologizes" thing reminds me of the famous IBM presentation quote that evidently everyone has forgotten. And I do think representing your brand on social media counts as a "management decision".

What's amazing to me is that these same guys are pushing desperately to end section 230, which specifically exists *so they do not get sued for what their users do* Like, these guys are actively begging to be sued into the fucking ground, you can tell by how much they spend to kill section 230

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

Also, when reporters start talking about the chatbots this way, it is imperative to remind them they are basically asking a toaster for comment. They should be a lot more embarrassed about this than they currently are. “Grok told CNN…” no it didn’t. You typed stuff into an unreliable calculator.

If you can think of an exception where this doesn’t apply, feel free to imagine the exception was noted in the original post, and not tell me about it

This might sound harsh, and judgmental, but if video is your preferred way of getting information about a topic, you’re a fucking moron

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

A real news outlet publishing the phrase "Grok apologized" should result in like a week-long timeout. Think about what you've done.

Any other product that called itself “MechaHitler” and produced CSAM would be immediately withdrawn from the market, discontinued, and its creators facing legal consequences. But for some reason, the guy who gave the president a quarter of a billion dollars is not worried.

If, being incredibly charitable, you didn’t intend to make a CSAM robot, not immediately turning off the CSAM robot when you find out you accidentally made a CSAM robot should still get you put in the magnetic boots prison from Face/Off

Yes, if you speak out against ICE they'll say you're a lunatic who wants to open the floodgates to scary immigrants. The correct response isn't cowering in a corner, it's asking whether people want to be terrorized by armed masked thugs as a part of daily life

If you're a Democrat, you're a sucker if you imagine this agency has anything to do with immigration. It is--and aspires to be!--a fascist paramilitary goon squad. You should start saying so and lay the groundwork for starving it of funding when you take power

testament to how “race baiting” means “a black person speaking” to these people

And they want the law to make sure they can entrap a partner in that abuse forever:

This is a good thing. Conservatives are abusive and immoral people.

"not gay but way up there on the forum leaderboard of competitive ranked dick ddr" is a freight train of "guys being dudes" that I do not want to stand in the way of. (yes competitive ranked cock hero is a thing)

Professors and teachers: Consider assigning your students some of the many AI-related suicide/murder court documents. I'm going to in my creative writing courses. This could be relevant material in any classroom in which you think AI is a factor. Which is to say, all of them.

Even if you don't jail the federal agents (the new law creates a misdemeanor offense for masking), just issuing a citation to the agents would ***create a public record of their names.***

Starting tomorrow, federal agents who cover their faces can be arrested across the state of California. If your local elected officials have been crying about ICE raids for the past year, now they can direct the police who exist entirely under their control to do something about it.

this is what happens when laura loomer goes from racist troll to presidential adviser, you get racist trash storming kindergartens for clicks and influence and money because thats the reward for being conservative trash in this country

they wouldnt be doing this had the media shamed them for “theyre eating the pets” instead of treating it like a legit campaign issue. they wouldnt be doing it if the democratic leadership had made them pay a political price for gutter racist trash

theyre saying that people from somalia are genetically predisposed towards fraud, its so goddam racist and so fucking stupid

the racism coming from the entire conservative movement targeting the somali community is so goddam disgusting and its just being completely ignored

i will never understand the use case for "it steals all the info from where you'd be looking for the answers & then throws in a bunch of wild nonsense and you can't tell which is which."

Okay look, I know this looks bad, but you have to understand, it also automatically steals from Stack Overflow instead of making coders search, copy, and paste by themselves, and isn't that worth a lot of people being driven into homicidal psychosis?

“But why DiDnt ThEy jUsT LeT tHeM EnteR?!” Because no day care in its right mind opens its doors to strangers. Also it’s illegal. Let a group of 8 screaming Black & brown men with cameras show up to a daycare in a predominately white neighborhood & watch how fast the police arrive and open fire.😐

I love the idea the Republicans showed decorum and the Dems were mean at a time when effigies of Obama were being lynched in public and birtherism was a thing.

imo most things are better with a plug in

The entire right wing media apparatus is in a rabid frenzy saying every childcare is fraudulent and now people are showing up to random daycare centers demanding to see the children and screaming at daycare workers. This is absolutely insane and I worry this is going to end in a major tragedy.

I guess the question is “how different”. Like, if one person supports Trump and the other person isn’t a fucking monster, yeah, that’s going to be a hard gap to bridge.

later told CBS they thought it was ICE. Nick also looks about 18 years old. These stills come from a woman's video--she was filming because she thought they were ICE and also yelling to people coming and going outside one day care to beware of ICE.

When Nick Shirley arrived to "test" if he could enroll his son "Joey" in Minneapolis day cares, his viral video omitted that he showed up with an entourage of masked men acting like security, multiple vehicles including vans, cameras, and men who wouldn't identify themselves. One day care owner /
