Watch Star Wars or any other popular franchise. Then replace all the good guys with Palestinians.

Now what the good guys in Star Wars say, people regularly condemn as ‘inciting terrorism’. That’s huge mass cognitive dissonance out there in broad daylight.

Russia’s goals are:

1) Ungovernability, destabilisation and russification Ukraine
2) Democratic backsliding and change to kremlin-favourable right-wing populist governments in the West

Putin has succeeded in the second goal far better than the first.

We were promised artificial intelligence, productivity gains, personal fulfillment & extended leisure.

What we got was our personal achievents & gains turned into yet another resource that’s extracted and mined by rich people whose greed can never be satisfied.

And they installed stupid bully […]

@dansup bro, sorry too bother you again but there’s something off with the share link function of Loops.video (on ios at least)

It seems to contain this attachment, which in turn makes some apps filter out the content entirely, blocking paste from working […]

@dansup loops.video sometimes overlays audio from second video in following tab with the for you tab. Or something.

Sometimes there’s audio playing while video is stopped, too.

Hey #fediforum, I've an ask: If you attended my session at the end of FediForum today, and you'd like to see me continue to work on these ideas, please support me financially.

Right now I'm having to look for work outside of the Fediverse because I simply cannot make ends meet.

I need €60-70k […]

I may have just broken the minds of ActivityPub developers at #fediforum, but the question I posed was "what happens if we do this differently? What other ways of building the Fediverse are there? Why are we building monolithic applications?"

The first half of the session was very much so an […]

At this rate it's honestly surprising that none of the major #ai players have issued an "AICoin" yet (aside from Altman's aspirational spycoin). Maybe that's the final step after institutional investment dries up.

This one guy, whose name I can’t remember, said it so well:

People who demand their #aiart be celebrated like human #art lack patience.

They don’t understand the whole concept of patience, perhaps they never will.

The problem is, that lacking #patience leads to other bad ends as well.

@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social Our own illusions are the roots of the problem indeed.

But it’s extremely hard to put yourself in the boots of someone who’s baselines of worldview don’t bear any resemblance to yours.

It might take a university degree in cognitive science or similar to really […]

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

If you’re a pound shop politician desperately angling for populist clout by claiming you’ve seen no white faces in some place you visited then I have some advice: If that’s truly what you’ve observed then it’s not evidence that BME migrants don’t “integrate”. It’s evidence that the whites won’t […]

OpenAI’s Sora app backend is going to be hacked.

It contains all user’s faces and voiceprints.

That’s getting stolen. Period.
