Houston Mayor Whitmire today mentioned No Kings "popup protest" during a conference about HPD policies related to ICE.
50501HTX/CAW/No Kings Organizers, do NOT preemptively collaborate with Police or City Hall!
You do NOT ask your government permission to protest!
Hold the Line! Stay Salty!

They are, everywhere they can, loudly.... The propaganda machine is just louder & fully in control.
Its unfortunate, but the ownness is on us as citizens to MANUALLY search for these conferences, hearings, speeches, and watch them directly.
The algo & media will not present them to us!

Its wild because its the ONLY time in decades that actually blaming the President & His party are accurate...
Trump & His party caused these fuel spikes, they are 100% his fault, and only his fault.
Use that!

Last week, a trial began to determine whether Elon Musk misled Twitter shareholders over his 2022 purchase of the co.
On X, he's been posting his contempt for the trial and praise from followers that "he lost billions of his own money so they internet could stay free."
(Twitter was alway free.)

She joined the race late! Im a Crockett supporter, and a Texan. I hope she goes back into State politics, or Mayor of Dallas (or something similar)... She has A LOT of power here in TX, & she knows how to use her power!

I just want to make sure that everyone knows Trump's war of choice in Iran is costing us $900 million a day according to the latest figures
Not $900 a day, not $9,000 a day, not $90,000 a day, not $900,000 a day, not $9 million a day, not $90 million a day
$900 million a day

I like that analogy a lot! Because with ML models in a 3-dimension matrix it actually works decently well.
I like to compare them to topological maps in 3-dimensions. The goal is for the model to find the "lowest" point of accuracy.
But that analogy does break down in higher dimensions... haha.

And for Graphics ML weights! Its just pixels on a screen! Artist have been doing the same with pixels on walls/canvas/buildings/ect for literally all of Humanity!
ML is NOT conscience! Its just complex forumlas in weights matrixs patterns!

We KNOW how ML/AI works! We do!
Its just hard/complex & requires significant resources (time) to step thru its weights! But that doesnt mean we dont UNDERSTAND it conceptually...
This ass saying "Explain Human consciousness" is actually asking to explain language patterns. Which we Do Understand!

Yes, Itโs Fascism
Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny.
pundits seem to treat fascism as they do racism, like something you can only know for sure exists if you can peer into a personโs soul and deem it rotten. and not, you know. A descriptor of actions and policy decisions. systems.

Yes... BSky needs to promote how feeds work more. (Not right now, I know its a young platform, just eventually)...
I find most folks miss out on feeds & utilize the defaults.
Other platforms (meta & tiktok) have taught folks to utilize the default FYP for ads.
Bsky is unique.
