Targeting a bank for investing in weapons factories is a hate crime now. I love this fantastic new standard we are setting!!

Anyone that thinks that this isn’t the opinion of the majority of democrats in congress and their operatives is a rube

Interesting perspective for the “try being a Jew in Ramallah and see what happens to you 😈” crowd: a 65 year old Jewish American journalist being treated with care in a Palestinian hospital after being beaten nearly to death by Israeli Jewish settler terrorists. Makes you think!

Not sure who needs to hear this but....

An LLM doesn't "understand" anything. It is a statistical model that spews out tokens based on probabilities calculated through massive matrix operations and context, not an understanding of the subject matter.

AI is literally a scam, the most sophisticated scam ever. They created a machine that mimics the output of intelligence. Then told everyone it was really intelligent — an impossibility, but the illusion was convincing. Based on that deception, they fleeced investors of trillions.

Some pretty insane details on Gillibrand here including:

– Her comms director bought up to 30k of bitcoin and ether one week before Gillibrand announced a bill putting both under friendlier CFTC oversight.
– Her chief of staff invoked the Senator's role as the DSCC’s top fundraiser while pushing other Dem aides to back her crypto-friendly legislation
-Her 22-year-old son raised $30M for a startup that is backed by crypto investors, including a key Gillibrand donor.

Gillibrand on staff trading crypto: “I could care less what they do with their money. This is not a nanny state.”

@mtracey You are complete fucking scum dude, fuck you

Yes. Ultimately these are companies that are designing malfunctioning, dangerous products akin to computer viruses, but if they convince us the products themselves are alive and have goals then they can say "Claude did it" instead of "we did it."

Guy who just killed hundreds of children in the process of losing a war that he started: no fatties on my team

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.

At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.

It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.

clear divide between people who think the purpose of education is to teach you how to Think and Learn vs. people who think the purpose of education is to enforce the boundary around What Is True

[Adam Johnson @adamjohnsonCHI]

Top Biden officials are in full blown reputation laundering mode, doing a full court press to rewrite what happened in 2023 and 2024. Meanwhile zero high profile progressives are pushing back. Nothing from any major liberal outlets, nothing from Sanders, AOC, Khanna or Mamdani.

The Blue Cross/Blue Shield Association says that AI is already driving *up* healthcare costs, as hospitals use the technology to find instances where they can bill more for the same level of care. https://t.co/af1SzA7D8v

This is a huge NYT investigation into how Russia uses shell companies and Tether, a crypto coin, to evade sanctions and buy arms.

What it doesn't mention is that the main U.S. backer of Tether is Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Howard Lutnick's sons. https://t.co/ivQhkhKhU4

This grandma was in Tennessee minding her business. Never even been on a plane.

Police all the way in North Dakota used AI to catch a bank thief. It randomly suggested this lady. Feds arrested her. Had her in jail for SIX MONTHS before they dropped the charges.

She’s suing!
