This is a massive scandal in Latin America right now - the woman survives the shooting recorded on video and then from her hospital bed spills the beans on the right wing influence operation.

After the guy got put in jail, bot farms/likes have a precipitous fall - and they rush to sell his assets on Friday from jail to shield the operation partner.

Angela & petit-bourgeois academicians that signed that letter confirmed the corrupt, arrogant & backward nature of the U.S. & Western left. From Libya, Syria, Ukrainian Solidarity Network, silence on Cuba, Uhuru 3 to support for war on Iran, the collaboration is consistent.

Gamer shares the moment his PlayStation 2 dies mid-game

The image slowly collapses into artifacts as the graphics processor renders its final frames — the console now powers on but returns no video

Boys don’t cry — until the PS2 renders its final frame

i’d recommend @DemSocialists use this in marketing materials immediately

if I've already come to the conclusion that I ought to reject White Studies/German Idealism for being a white supremacist legitimacy discourse, and then I read the work of black thinkers who are presupposing that discourse, that means I have to re-onboard White Studies...

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

that is because the existing curriculum - which is to say Modern European Thought as such - is really just "White Studies." That is what the thing you call "German Idealism" and everything downstream of it is - it's White Studies.

Questions like “Is Israel committing a genocide against the Palestinians” really drive home how you can get people to agree with anything depending on how you word it.

[Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim @idlebystander]

@drumm_colin One thing you can say for LLMs is they rarely say too little. I can't imagine one generating a lazy "that's not what X person is saying" without appending a whole spiel about what X is actually saying. To make a proper troll bot, you'd have to beat some terseness into them.

You need to invest in a source of surprising tokens. Please someone give me 1B dollars I can generate some surprising tokens for you

nothing really new about this - this is just called "language." but it does make a big difference that the computer is running on a language simulation - it can hack in more directly now. human history ends with computers dialing up the insanity knob on the language machine

good on fox for reporting some actual news for once

@drumm_colin maybe the AI extinction guys were right to say "if anyone builds it, everyone dies" except the "it" was just the invention of writing

[drumm colin @drumm_colin]

so i feel about books i guess the way that one has to feel about guns - they exist, so you have to deal with them, but that doesn't mean you have to be happy about it

This is a good point. Everyone focuses on the avalanche of recalls, but no one seems to ever mention that despite all this massive cost-cutting deregulation nothing got cheeper.

The lettuce that makes you shit your pants costs 3-4 times as much as pre-RFK lettuce that didn’t.
