I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Bari Weiss is such a hack that she can't even do her wrecking in an original way

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 18h

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

Wow! Interesting

Nothing to see here for sure

However, following the
announcement, many have started to point out that the 58-year-old is a strong ally of Israel and openly backs the country's decision to bomb the largely unarmed civilians of the Gaza Strip. While there is no known evidence to argue that she supported the one-sided attack on the Palestinian civilians, Machado is undoubtedly an ally of Benjamin Netanyahu. In the past, the centrist-right leader had even declared that if she gains power, she will restore diplomatic relations with Israel.

In 2020, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner's party, Vente Venezuela, signed a cooperation agreement with Likud to cooperate on "political, ideological and social issues ... strategy, geopolitics and security." For the unversed, Likud - National Liberal Movement is the right-wing Israeli political party whose chairperson is Benjamin Netanyahu. "The struggle of Venezuela is the struggle of Israel," she had said on X in 2019.
There is a claim that in 2018 Machado sent a letter to Netanyahu asking for the use of "power" (possibly including military intervention) against the Venezuelan government. She had

A billion dollars is the socio-political equivalent of a loose nuke, and we should work as ruthlessly and diligently to prevent the acquisition of the former as we do the latter.

Today my daughter's preschool is holding a farewell assembly for one of her classmates whose mother has no choice but to self deport. The school is hoping it will be joyful in tone, so we might make this less upsetting for this 3 year old.

There's just no words for the uselessness of this cruelty.

TIL that Haiti was the first country to recognize Greek independence. Hait was struggling under the weight of the debt that France imposed on it for deigning to free themselves, so they sent 25 tons of coffee for Greece to sell to help them fund their independence.

It's worth noting also that while OpenAI's revenue has increased, their costs have increased even more, because ultimately their solution to providing better results is to throw more compute at it.

It's getting more expensive to use and the results still suck.

Jessica Kant @jessdkant.bsky.social · 1d

Energy requirements for AI mean that the only way for the bubble not to burst would require companies to multiply their carbon footprint to an unimaginable degree. Right now, while AI is barely functional and mostly a novelty for the lazy, it requires so much energy that data centers rival cities.

They sold LLMs to corporations as a way to eradicate the need for workers, and they rabidly invested without thinking about the logistics involved.

Meanwhile, LLMs are just "Blockchain 2.0." A thing that has limited legitimate uses that tech companies are trying to turn into an everything machine.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

what legal recourse do artists and museums have against international militaries stealing and using our work to commit warcrimes, since apparently that's a conversation we need to have now.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

life ends in misfortune and death no matter what you do. therefore, take the risks that interest you.

this existence is just a particle of something larger. you are here to feel good while you live.
