What I find interesting about this line is that it’s an admission in order for this to happen, they need you to lose your ordinary intelligence that you already have.
This is why they want to get into schools. They want kids to lose basic capacity so that they have to rent it forever.
@TheChiefNerd SAM ALTMAN: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
i don’t know how this is supposed to work in terms of intelligence but whatever these guys do is taking stuff that is not theirs to take and then sell it for the highest possible price
electricity water clean air knowledge
you name it
they should be treated like the common thieves they are
In this how-to for beginners, I explain how to get started with Burp and similar browser tools, we'll explore API basics, how to understand network requests, and getting started. I'll also walk you through some examples of how I found security bugs and data leaks, which I wrote up for TechCrunch.
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
The 2026 Twilight Zone Special that is our existence
Maria Steen on RTE radio and Hillary "Andrew Wakefield" Cass* on RTE website is a reminder that forces of hate and oppression need to be constantly defeated...
*Cass report has been so massively shredded by actual science only the ignorant or the malevolent refer to it with any credence
“If you look at major companies and corporations like Microsoft and Google, they are the very entities that are powering genocide, powering war. You start to realize that a lot of the claims around 'AI for good' start to crumble.”

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"
hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”
The European Parliament is set to host a summit organized by anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-abortion groups, backed by organizations such as the Heritage Foundation and ADF International. The event frames attacks on LGBTQ+ and women’s rights as “free speech,” while advancing a coordinated anti-rights agenda.
i was actually shocked to see the numbers on new research from Global Energy Monitor on new gas projects in the US: nearly 100 gigawatts of power—enough to power tens of millions of homes—are currently in development explicitly to power data centers. At the end of 2023 that number was 4 gigawatts
I don't exaggerate when I say that Andrew Wakefield should be tried for mass murder. We'll never know how many people have died or will die as a direct result of his fraudulent study.
This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
I analysed the DoJ’s immigration chatbot for @iccl.bsky.social and the amount of seriously wrong information it gave was shocking even to me. The idea that people fleeing persecution would be expected to rely on a chatbot in lieu of actual legal advice is 😱😱😱

Please note: This has been Ireland’s immigration policy for over 20 years.
A few days ago we lost an important hidden figure in the history of 20th century Cold War technology—Gladys West’s work and insights were essential in the creation of GPS:

Five phrases about the transitory nature of all things...
1. Nothing is eternal (Farsi)
2. No one’s candle is lit till dawn (Serbian)
3. No evil shall last a hundred years (Spanish)
4. All snowstorms eventually subside (Icelandic)
5. Everything has an end, except the sausage, which has two (German)
Another Leitrim expression that I enjoy is "nobody knows how long a dinner is".
Makes you think.
In Leitrim they say that "only the storyteller carries it now".
This is my favourite Leitrim expression.
Lesson here...

I am assembling resources for @aial.ie to mitigate/reduce risks (due to our research) from potential:
1)retaliation, defamation lawsuit etc for work on politically charged topics
2)emotional harm from dealing with sensitive issues (CSAM, hate, etc)
know of any helpful resources? pls share/repost
The way to end all this is for the EU to immediately get hyper-aggressive with sanctioning and tariffing every American they can find.
The man has worse approvals than at any point in his prior term plus it’s an election year. It’s all a bluff. Call it!
In retrospect a global order that relied on endless American military hegemony and Chinese economic growth was not sustainable
Former European Commissioner Thierry Breton who was essentially PNG'd by von der Leyen for attacking X and Musk is shaming her bigstyle (on X, sigh) for doing the Scotland tariff surrender deal, which Trump is predictably tearing to shreds.

Today is the start of a new semester at UNRWA’s Kalandia Training Centre in occupied East Jerusalem.
But it is under threat.
Recent Israeli legislation would cut off services to the compound – a violation of international law.
#UNRWAworks and must be allowed to fulfil its UN mandate.
The tripwire force is finally here... But instead of being in Ukraine to deter Russia, it is within NATO territory to deter one NATO ally from violating another NATO ally's sovereignty.
The world turned upside down.
