@ClayTravis You are the only one condescending if you think the average American can’t distinguish why the White House should be held to a higher standard than a strip mall restaurant. It has nothing to do with expense. I also don’t think the WH should look like Kayne Prime.
The U.S. military plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, the ex-Army major who was convicted of the 2009 killing of 13 people at Fort Hood, when he faces a firing squad on Dec. 3, a Pentagon official said.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said earlier Thursday the Pentagon planned to make the execution public.
Hasan's case could mark the military's first execution of an American service member since 1961.
Why are these guys so friggin weird? There are plenty of real humans with real consciousness that need help and they’re spending time worrying about a machine’s nonexistent feelings.
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. https://t.co/iG3Bnlzt2J
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history.
This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
@kodakvandy@aria_gerson A female sports reporter is telling you otherwise. You and I haven’t experienced that perspective, so we oughtta listen to the people who have rather than reflexively trying to invalidate their frustration.
@kodakvandy@aria_gerson You look like an asshole. As a fellow Vandy fan, please reconsider your position on this. It’s not funny to use AI to depict violence whether it happened in real life or not.
Ruh roh. Here is a leaked webinar hosted by Flock demonstrating to police how to track individuals in real time involved in the no kings protests. Maybe you’re thinking “so what?! I don’t go to those and don’t agree with those who did.”
Let me remind you, a digital dragnet built to target your political opponents today will be used against you tomorrow.
Once the surveillance state is turned on, it watches everyone.
@bobby2xs@osborne1_david That’s an awful way to analyze a freshman QB. Everyone on D knows you’re throwing. Playcalling was atrociously conservative on both sides.
