It's fucking incredible how much of a stink everyone, right and left, makes about 'rising anti-semitism' when this is just how your average conservative is towards muslims.
This is literally what everyone with a functioning brain was saying since day one, but I guess we had to have a news cycle where everyone pretended it was not insane to claim that a man made god has awakened.
"The anti-immigrant, anti-brown people sentiment is never about assimilation as it purports to be — this, like, lack of assimilation. It's about just pure, just racism on its face."

NBA Hall of Famer Dwyane Wade says he began distancing himself from certain jokes and language in the Miami Heat locker room long before his daughter Zaya publicly came out as transgender.
Speaking on the 'Conversations With Cam' podcast, Wade explained that as his family privately navigated Zaya’s identity, he started listening differently and no longer participated in what he called a “masculine, toxic environment.”
“I wasn’t in on the jokes no more. I wasn’t laughing. I was leaving out of the locker room when I would hear certain things,” Wade said.
The shift led him to have a direct conversation with longtime teammate and close friend Udonis Haslem, who was unaware of the family’s situation at the time. Wade said Haslem later changed his thinking, language, and actions after that “safe conversation.”
Zaya came out publicly in 2020. Wade and his wife Gabrielle Union have since become prominent advocates for LGBTQ+ youth. Together with Zaya, Wade co-founded Translatable, an organization focused on creating supportive spaces for LGBTQIA+ young people.
Wade emphasized the need for more environments where people can listen and learn rather than immediately reject unfamiliar topics.
Open source AI models are very good for the general public and prosperity. They are very bad for frontier labs trying to gatekeep super intelligence for a fee and IPO at multi-trillion dollar valuations.
This is not about safety.
It’s more like “open source models are catching up and we should be the only ones who build and have access to intelligence”
There are no good guys here
you scanned and burned millions of books, scraped the entire internet, and stole everyone’s outputs to train your own models. now that you have stolen it all, you want to take it away from others doing the same but without the destructive path you took. shame!
These guys are lying.
LLMs have a mathematical performance ceiling. Getting closer to it costs more and more with every improvement. Long term, they cannot outpace open source models. Their only chance of survival is eliminating open source. Same thing happened to mainframes.
Anthropic and OpenAI have only one way to survive: convince everyone that LLMs are so dangerous that open source models (and essentially commoditised LLMs) must be banned and the whole industry offered on a plate to a cartel of two (or three)
You literally campaigned for someone in Trump’s cabinet man. Stop larping as a free thinker - it’s embarrassing. You’re just a right winger who watches a lot of YouTube
A category where >99% of the people were born with a vagina. And the other <1% are being used as bait to distract from the most financially corrupt regime in U.S. history
if you want to protect women you have to also ban all the women who have similar biological advantages to men as well, otherwise this isn’t about protecting women, it’s about discrimination
without the help of a search engine or previous study of this topic, nobody who's "upset" about "biological men in women's sports" could name you 10 transgender athletes. male or female!
because this is a made-up issue.
Since 1976, transgender women have been eligible to compete in the ladies' category at major tournaments such as Wimbledon, the United States Open, the Australian Open, and the French Open. Despite this, fifty years later, there has yet to be a transgender woman who has won a Grand Slam title.
In tennis, if a male athlete wishes to transition from the male to female category, the process typically requires the athlete to abstain from competition for several years.
The sport does not permit a male player to simply declare a gender change and immediately participate in female events at Wimbledon or other tournaments.
As both a researcher and a transgender athlete myself, I concur that no male athlete should be allowed to self-identify as female and compete in women’s categories without meeting established criteria.
For male athletes seeking to compete as females, the regulations specify strict hormonal requirements. They must undergo hormone therapy involving testosterone suppression and estrogen supplementation for a minimum of two years. During this period, they are required to maintain testosterone levels below 2.5 nmol/L and undergo additional physical assessments.
Such hormone treatment significantly impacts physical attributes related to athletic performance, including stamina, strength, recovery, and speed.
Research indicates that even in international sports such as cycling, transgender women lose their male advantage within one year of beginning hormone therapy. After three to four years of treatment, a male athlete would likely experience diminished physical capabilities, making it improbable to compete successfully or win at the Grand Slam level in women’s tennis.
