First CES panel. Intuit CMO Thomas Ranese is proud of his company's integration with OpenAI, which involves giving AI read/write access to tax data. Since prompt injection attacks are unavoidable, I asked him who will be liable when customer data is exposed: Intuit, OpenAI, etc?

He had no idea.

Counterinsurgency satanism moved from being the province of creepy men's clubs trying to shoe in on youth culture to being... the same but wired. The old British societies provide branding and prestige, their American friends do the heavy lifting.
Anyway, here’s a fun thought: things 09A show that “communities” based around pure nihilism can form online, this combined with LLMs and chatbot psychosis, mean you could create scalable turnkey antisocial behavior inculcators as a service. I’m certain nation-states are already thinking about this.
I think the mechanism is pretty clear imo: it's trained to be agreeable, and so when someone with mental illness starts inputting their delusions it defaults to affirmation. what's more interesting is why this isn't happening with the other chatbots. just not as much market penetration?

Stating the obvious, but one of the reasons why x-men succeed at the whole discrimination metaphor compared to many other "super powered beings as discrimination metaphors" is the fact that they exist in a world full of other super powered beings yet mutants are the singled out ones.

Op-Ed in the National Catholic Reporter is not pulling any punches.

“The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith”

Hideo Kojima made a game series based on the military industrial complex.

Kinda x files.

The ending to the second on spirals out into a conspiracy theory that keeps being weirdly relevant 25 years later.

People live in different realities now.

DHS has rolled out a new slogan;
"One of ours
All of yours"
On the heels of ICE agents threatening protesters and telling them they "should have learned a lesson"; this is your tax dollars paying for your government promising to kill you. This is why we must keep fighting. ~AdminMatt

Times have been tough in this Ohio town since they closed the old bullshit spewing factory. So when Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, and Kristi Noem started spewing bullshit about Renee Good, they finally had something to cheer about. But now the woke mob wants to take that all away.

Nah, supporting the far right’s excuses to justify discrimination against marginalized people is definitely right wing. The fact that “centrists” always end up doing that really just shows what their true ideological position is.

the center is just right wingers who (rightfully) want nothing to do with the actual boots on the ground racism and violence
they just want nothing to change, so their 401k doesn't change, house value goes up, pie in the sky

they aren't persuaded by the arguments; nobody is. they already agree with them because it is what the rich donors want them to believe. there's no point refuting the arguments though because nobody cares about them - you've got to destroy the donor class, not the arguments.

This is one of my favorite shticks, it can’t possibly be that the left was correct and you weren’t, they must’ve forced the right to become more obviously what they said they were all along.

I agree.

All progressives should make a legally binding written promise to vote Democrat for ever

That would allow Jeffries, Schumer et al total freedom to appeal to the more important voter demographic - racists, misogynists and violent fantasists

They don't oppose the right because it's harmful or ill-intentioned, but because it's aesthetically unpleasant and optically condemnable.
As in, they are themselves procuring hierarchies and coercion mechanisms, but think conservatives threaten their viability by being too brazen.

It's also one of the reasons I get frustrated at everyone saying to "be calm" and "not escalate" because it'll give conservatives an excuse for martial law or some shit.

They're already making up excuses for all their brutality. What makes these folks think they need us to do anything?
