With everything going on I'd like to highlight the "Fandom 1% theory", with the sheer scale of our Fandom this is a really important thing to consider when things seem to be going sideways.
Netanyahuโs ๐ฎ๐ฑ repulsive interview with Fox:
โWill speak at the UN in New York ๐บ๐ธโ
โMayor Zohran Mamdani is a hate spewing elected officialโ
โTurning people against Jewsโ
โIs this the 1930s?โ
21,000 Gaza ๐ต๐ธ children murdered by this racist monster
Expel ๐ฎ๐ฑ from the UN now.
THIS IS F*CKING DISTURBING!!!๐คฏ
A leaked Anthropic document just came out in court. Their own words:
"Project Panama is our effort to destructively scan all the books in the world."
Next line: "We don't want it to be known that we are working on this."
They planned to shred every book on the planet, in secret. And they almost got away with it.
It starts with theft. Anthropic stole 7 MILLION books from pirate sites to train Claude, because their CEO said paying authors was too much of a "slog."
Then the lawsuits hit and they needed a legal way to keep going. So they hired the ex-head of Google Books and sent him to publishers to ask for permission. Publishers said no.
That's when they found the loophole.
Buy millions of real, physical books. Cut the spines off with a hydraulic blade, scan the loose pages, and throw what's left in recycling.
One vendor offered to destroy 2 MILLION books in 6 months. That's 11,000 books a day.
Now the insane part.. destroying the books is what made it legal.
If you scan a book and keep it, that's a crime. If you scan it and shred it, that's fair use. A judge actually approved this, which means the shredder WAS the legal strategy.
They still paid $1.5 billion for the stolen books, the biggest copyright settlement in history. Works out to $3,000 per book.
And the scans are locked in Anthropic's private library forever. Nobody outside the company will ever see them. The authors got a shredded book and nothing else.
The part I can't stop thinking about is that a book on a shelf lasts 500 years without power, wifi, or a subscription, and the AI it was destroyed for gets thrown away in 18 months.
They killed something permanent to feed something disposable.
An Israeli soldier shares a video of himself opening fire towards Syrian towns and villages for fun while stationed at a military outpost on Mount Hermon.
To confirm:
Tim Walz passed a bill in MN banning services that use AI to generate nude images of minors.
Elon Musk, through xAI, is suing to block this bill.
When we call MAGA pedophile protectors, this is what we are talking about.
Asรญ es como Anthropic, una empresa de Inteligencia Artificial, ha destruido 2 millones de libros (muchos de ellos obras รบnicas y antiguas) para entrenar a su chatbot, los ha cortado, los ha escaneado y luego los ha destruido masivamente.
Poco se habla de esto, la novela Fahrenheit 451 se hizo real y ni siquiera reaccionamos, el control de la informaciรณn, la censura y el dominio del pensamiento se impondrรก en una sociedad vacรญa y adicta a las pantallas para beneficio del capitalista.
Yes Heidi, I did, because it's an unauthorised use of my copyright. I have started and will be invoicing every single individual and publication that stole my work, and all invoices are made out payable to the Filton Defence Fund - I didn't want to profit off this experience1/2
God promised me Melanie Phillips London home.
Anyone who disagrees is just demonizing me and trying to deny my ancestral claims to that region.
It's trying to erase the only Yorkshire area of London.
I'm waiting to appear on Question Time to argue this point. It's a libel.
Nicely articulated and presented.
Jeffrey Sachs exposes the shocking hypocrisy of the UN Security Council following the unprovoked attack on Iran this year.
Half the country thinks Netanyahu should be arrested when he's in US. Only a quarter think he shouldn't. Yet, 100% of anchors on TV think it's an outrageous idea. What a coincidence that everyone in national media is against what Americans think and in favor of what Israel wants.
This is as clear a confirmation that you can get that settler terrorism/violence is state backed, and that this government is trying to destroy Palestinian life in the West Bank just like it did in Gaza- but in different ways and by varying means.
Is the penny dropping yet???
Sheโs threatening to literally destroy your livelihood if you dare criticise the terrorist state of israel.
These fuckers are demons!!
๐จ For it to be considered in the public interest to arrest people who are clearly not terrorists, under terrorism laws, for an act of peaceful dissent and protest is, in technical terms, nuts!
Jews are against Zionism because the Torah forbids Jews to be Zionists. Jews can never adopt an ideology that is forbidden in the Torah. Zionism adopted by Israel is definitely against the Jewish faith. There is no Zionism in Judaism.
En Emporia, Kansas (EEUU), un profesor de secundaria aplaudiรณ brevemente una intervenciรณn contra la construcciรณn de un centro de datos en la ciudad, que drenarรก el agua local y aumentarรก la temperatura en un radio de 10 kilรณmetros.
Rรกpidamente el hombre fue arrestado y sacado de la audiencia como un criminal solo por aplaudir un discurso contra los centros de datos.
Esta es la tierra de la libertad, donde solo debes obedecer callado y sin rechistar a la depredaciรณn capitalista.
