cbs news is covering up torture for the government
Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.
Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

Americans having to bootleg broadcast news about our government’s offshored concentration camp is a level of fascism that immediately precedes democratic societies dropping leaflets on us from weather balloons.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.
There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

I knew the Reiner family tragedy would lead people to say some fucked up things about people living with addiction, but it's still hard to see that stuff. If you've lived with an addiction or loved someone who does or has, you know cruel generalizations don't help anyone or anything.

I’m not famous but I went to school for theatre and worked with a lot of guys (always guys) who tried to work Method on stage, which is impossible, insane, and annoying. And here’s the thing: it didn’t measurably improve the performance. But some people just internalize that art has to hurt to count

And they’re pulling the GenAI/ML bait and switch routine.
Yet another example of using “AI” but mixing up GenAI and other forms of machine learning.
The polls they cite about AI attitudes? People are talking about GenAI
The examples where AI is working? Non-GenAI machine learning.
The latter, more speculative ones? Back to GenAI
Fave trick of AI fans

This column on Vox is the biggest pile of steaming AI crap I've seen this year. Human's aren't running out of ideas. Instead, those with power and money don't want to listen to ideas that threaten their power and money.
Ideas are plentiful. Putting those ideas into action is the hard part.
