I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.
For scale, 800,000 people would be the population of Seattle. That’s how many people are displaced.
Facts you don't hear from the suburban/NY Post fare evasion caucus
"A new analysis of toll evasion found the amount owed by drivers who don't pay paper toll invoices has more than doubled since 2022, from $147 million in unpaid tolls to nearly $350 million"

This is a calculated effort to ethnically cleanse area C - which is 60% of the West Bank. And it is moving ahead successfully, while European governments murmur their objections and talk about a two state solution.
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
This International Women's Day, please remember that trans women are women. Full stop. No qualifiers.
This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.
It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
The last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.
Israel is using the same genocidal, religious rhetoric towards Iran that it has deployed to justify the Gaza genocide, writes @seamus-malekafzali.com www.thenation.com/article/worl...
My street is gross. It only gets swept once a year when the school on the block has their annual fundraiser and all the cars are towed away. No one moves their cars during street sweeping hours and the garbage just piles up. It’s extra nasty right now!
NEW: HungryPanda delivery workers share how the company hires dispatchers to pressure them into working during extreme and dangerous weather.
The US and Israel are bombing schools, hospitals (nine hospitals) and other civilian facilities in Iran. They have massacred over 700 civilians, including nearly 200 children. Absolute genocidal monsters.
Nazi Senators just out here brutalizing peaceful protestors with impunity.
I think LLMs have uses, but "1,000 targets, including a girls elementary school we hit twice with precision munitions" is indeed representative of their state-of-the-art—and likely a fundamental limitation of the technology.
Sometimes sloppiness is okay; sometimes it's 160 dead children.
The Jeffrey Epstein scandal has been eclipsed by a widening war. Today's Starting Point takes a look at six developments you should catch up on.
1. The Iran War has already claimed the lives of 6 U.S. soldiers, hundreds of Iranians, and dozens of people in neighboring countries.
For others, it's been a money-making opportunity.
This feels like a helpful primer for understanding AI in general. It makes programmers more efficient on the front end because they can generate more code. But it makes them less efficient afterwards because it vastly increases the amount of time they spend tweaking and fixing bugs.
The United States and Israel killed 148 and wounded 95 school girls yesterday.
This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.
But since she asked,
"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.
The timing of the initial strikes is unusual.
Often you see these types of operations launched in the pre-dawn hours at the target site partly to limit civilian casualties.
This operation began at the beginning of a work and school day, with millions of adult civilians and children in harms way.
In case you’re just waking up, the U.S. has teamed up with Israel overnight to start an illegal war of regime change, apparently on a presidential whim with no involvement of Congress, and they are already committing horrific atrocities.
It’s worth emphasizing that the Supreme Court has propped up this presidential lawlessness.
When Congress enacted limits on presidential power in 1973, it included an enforcement provision. If the president said there’s an “emergency from attack” and Congress disagreed, it could order troops home.

Large dump truck has fallen into a sinkhole on a residential street in NYC.
Ugh, her office let a sinkhole open up on my street. I had submitted a few 311 complaints, they kept getting closed so I reached out to her office for help. I was told “you’re not going to like this” but that I just had to keep submitting to 311. A massive sinkhole opened up a few days later…
There's no limit to what they'll defend -- if you think it's bad that the FBI director flew to Italy to party with Olympic athletes on your dime, you are an America-hating loser, per Fox News.
