i’m so serious if generative ai ceased to exist tomorrow, nothing in my life would change except for the fact that i’d be less pissed off and frustrated and that most of the apps i use would start working properly again lmfao

I don’t know who will care about what I’m saying, but the situation here in Gaza is literally spiraling out of control in a terrifying way.

We are living in an area that makes up no more than 30% of the entire Gaza Strip, and this area has been reduced to rubble and tents. We are besieged by land, sea, and air. There is no real way out and nowhere we can escape to. There are cranes and massive sand embankments surrounding Gaza, and people are living under constant surveillance and fear. You cannot leave, and you cannot choose where you want to go. All you can do is wait.

Water stations have almost completely stopped operating because fuel and oil have run out. The tents have been torn apart and worn down by the extreme heat, and people are living inside them in conditions that are impossible to describe. Hospitals have been extensively destroyed, with medicines and medical supplies unavailable, and even basic diagnostic and treatment equipment has become extremely scarce. Almost everything is prohibited from entering Gaza, and even what is allowed in is subject to approval and restrictions.

The entire education system has collapsed. Schools have been destroyed, children have been deprived of their education, and families are sleeping on the streets or living in tents that offer no protection from the extreme heat, cold, or any other danger.

The reality here is far worse than anything I can write. Words cannot convey the scale of what we are experiencing, and no single photograph can show what it is like to watch an entire city collapse before our eyes.

We are not living a normal life. We are simply trying to survive. Besieged from every direction, without a home, without safety, and without any clear way out.

حقيقةً .. هذا المشهد لا يستوعبه عقل.

لو كان هذا المشهد في مكانٍ آخر لهتزت له الدنيا.. ولكنها غزة

[Liana @ykidcmyluv]

la plupart des journalistes qui nous montraient en direct ce qu’il se passe à Gaza ont été tués par Isr*el alors qd vs tombez sur ne serait-ce qu’une seule vidéo c’est important de relayer au maximum !!!

I’m not even gonna lie to yall. This should be… NEEDS TO BE… the FINAL fucking straw with ai. We cannot allow shit like this to keep happening. We risk losing our identity as a species. We risk losing our art to the machines. We risk cutting off new art forever. This isn’t good

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

Dainik Bhaskar journalist went undercover as a laborer in a flour mill in UP and exposed a rotten system that's playing with people's health.

Operators in mills across Agra, Firozabad are mixing stone powder from Rajasthan into atta, increasing their earnings by 70–80 paise per kg i.e. 7k-8k extra per day. These adulterated flour, sold under brands like Maharaja Bhog Atta, is even reaching school mid-day meals. These calcium carbonate can clog intestines and damage the liver and kidneys.

Being in the D2C industry, I'm aware of many brands who do these kinds of things just to save margins and make more money. We keep calling them out, but this looks much bigger.

Government and FSSAI need to act and take control. Consumer health should never be compromised for profit.

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.”

it was called project panama.

here's exactly what happened:

1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.”

2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy.

it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.”

3: that piracy created a massive legal risk.

so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.”

4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs.

those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers.

5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months.

6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them.

a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling.

7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data.

the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

Have you folks seen this video?? @SirRaunaqRajani and his wife being beaten up by the cops for no reason. His wife got a rib fracture because MALE police officer kicked her on the ribs and it is all recorded on video!! People are mad about abusive language being used in peaceful protests. What else do you want? People to lay down on the ground themselves so the cops can remove the frustration of the politicians and their seniors on the innocent citizens???? SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE THAT JUSTIFY THIS BRUTALITY. Look at yourself in the mirror and think of who you have become and what you stand for.

[Damn. @Theonenameddamn]

We criticised the Godi media for what they did during the protests, but now let's take a moment to appreciate the journalists who stood with the students through thick and thin.

[lady don @cancel_orange2]

Pradhan was just the tip of the iceberg. His resignation means nothing.The real question is: why is Amit Shah still in office? After so many terrorist attacks and repeated failures of issues that fall under the Home Ministry's responsibility why hasn't he been held accountable?

[Love is Revolutionary @Khaton_ka_safar]

A very important update: Muslim neighborhoods in Delhi are coming under continuous surveillance. Heavy police surveillance across Okhla, Old Delhi, Nizamuddin and routes leading to the protest. They have also detained many Muslim students on the way to Jantar Mantar. Amplify!!

[eppy @epppyyy]

I want to once again remind everyone about the Ken Batua River Project Project

[Love is Revolutionary @Khaton_ka_safar]

An important update regarding Ken Betwa Link project and Adivasis' protests. Amit Bhatnagar still continues his hunger strike and in solidarity many Adivasi families have started a chulha-band andolan, which is also a form of Hunger strike!! Please amplify this!!!!
