English speaking newspapers don’t seem to have picked up on Trump administration threats of sanctions against judges in current appeals case involving Marine LePen’s indictment regarding European Parliament fund embezzling which could cost her the right to run for president next year.

I am once again asking the media to treat it as a huge fucking scandal that the Vice President of the United States has pickled his brain in white supremacist, antisemitic garbage babble
Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”

the fact that journalists keep asking chatbots to comment on responses they gave to a different user in a different context window on a different computer is so weird. it's like booting up mario and asking mario why he fell in a pit on your friend's nintendo in 1998
An AI chatbot does not have PERSONHOOD. It has no agency. It cannot meaningfully apologise. It cannot speak on behalf of another. It cannot speak for itself; it has no self. Stop asking it for quotes for articles. Stop printing its quotes.

this is, indeed, a crusade by the people directly running the New York Times to destroy the rights and lives of trans people in this country

they have blood on their hands and they’re proud of it

Faschostaat.
Israel says it will suspend several humanitarian groups, including Doctors Without Borders, in 2026 for failing its new vetting rules for groups working in Gaza. Some international organizations have said that Israel’s rules are arbitrary and could endanger staff.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience.

Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense.

They admitted it.

Der Typ, der mit anderen Richtern ohne Not das NPD-Verbot verhindert hat, will uns was über die Gefahr für die Demokratie erzählen.

Gleich erzählt uns Merkel, dass unsere Infrastruktur kaputt ist.

Und Höcke beklagt sich über die gespaltene Gesellschaft.

New Harvard/MIT study tested whether AI chatbots can actually do science (form hypotheses, run experiments, revise theories, etc.)...and found they can't. While AI can talk like scientists, they struggle with the thinking real discovery requires and often fail at key parts of the research process.

Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to scientific research, yet prevailing science benchmarks probe decontextualized knowledge and overlook the iterative reasoning, hypothesis genera...

"Statt 7,83 Milliarden Euro Erbschafts- und Schenkungssteuer mussten in diesen Fällen nur 465 Millionen bezahlt werden. 7,37 Milliarden Euro wurden erlassen. Zu Einzelfällen ist wegen des Steuergeheimnisses wenig bekannt."
