changing the mathematical equation here feels like tricking a pre-toddler into thinking the spoon of vegetable gruel is an airplane and that they should have a vested interest in making sure the spoon lands on the roof of their mouth

100.50 sometimes isn't actually 100.50.
sometimes, it can be 100.49999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999998

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose ‘targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

Among dozens of other problems here it’s worth noting that Shapiro twice lies about Iran, saying then have “nuclear weapons” and a “nuclear arsenal” they, of course, have neither, something US intelligence as affirmed over and over again for 25+ years.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

under the plain terms of any known and accepted moral framework, the nation of israel is definitionally completely and totally out of control. rampaging horde type shit at this point

As you use AI to simplify easy yet mundane tasks, like writing emails, you get increasingly dependent on it.

You get lazy, less skilled, use your brain less, and (you may not want to hear this) get stupider as a result.

Don’t let them take away your ability to think. Stop using it. Now.

BREAKING: WE DID IT!!! LUDOVIC IS COMING HOME!!!

The judge, clearly moved by 20 people turning up in person alongside 20 online, ruled entirely in Lud’s favor with low bond.

Update to come when he is home. The team is optimistic about his hearing in May.

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

Video Game Preservation Archive Myrient Has Been "100% Backed Up" By The Community Update: That's over 390 terabytes of ROMs, ISOs and collections

Video Game Preservation Archive Myrient Has Been "100% Backed Up" By The Community.

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!"

And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.

‘Worst of the worst’? ICE snatches beloved video gaming champion living in US legally for decades “This is the nightmare that I've had—literally had nightmares woken up in a cold sweat about. The government has kidnapped one of my friends."

“This is the nightmare that I’ve had—literally had nightmares woken up in a cold sweat about. The government has kidnapped one of my friends.”

Huh!

If Democrats continue being who they are, 2027-2029 will be a lot of shrugging because they don't have the votes to do anything. We need the presidency. Once we do that we shrug because the Supreme Court won't let us do anything. Then we all wait for the next fascist to come to power

an extremely american phenomenon, people are implicitly accepting a loss in quality control for the sake of convenience...

where do we draw the line?

it may not bother some/most, but I had a hard of hearing for most of my life (still technically do, but it's not as bad) and subtitles were important for me to compensate, now it's like getting a lyric music video but some of the lyrics are just wrong, and the uploaders don't seem to even care

my head sinks every time I see incorrect subs that simply were not proofread or checked for errors and pumped out from people trying to look and sound professional quality

I know we complaing about genAI and deepfakes being a huge problem poisoning our content environment, but I would like to add auto subtitiles to the list of enshittification that must be fought and pushed back against (or at least improved)

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me

This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology

Setting a horrifying precedent for genocide

This is really immoral.

An absolute forfeiture of our moral responsibility to these children.

I wrote about an all-time favorite media genre of mine: the Sleeper Cell Panic story. It addition to helping prop up the war effort against Iran and pressuring Dems to abandon their (token) DHS reforms, it has the added bonus of promoting mindless paranoia and racial profiling.

The cost of this war is not going to be felt hardest or most by the bank accounts of Westerners.
