Add "accomplice" to epidemic of mass shootings to the use cases of ChatGPT and the responsibility-avoidant decision-making process of its executives. Silicon Valley AI platforms are public health menaces. #AI #chatgpt #aikillskids

Jesus' observance of Hanukhah in John 10 resulted in the locals trying to stone him. More broadly, canonical New Testament texts are post-Hadrianic appropriations of Hellenism (including Hellenistic Judaism). Hanukhah (aka Fuck the Seleucids 8 days straight) doesn't quite fit.
Strong market evidence against AI "training" as Fair Use. The bots are built to "steal and substitute", not "license and source". The EU needs to rachet up its commitment to be a robust IP and privacy safe-haven to counter these pernicious trends.
Does Lockheed always mention the "Deputy Secretary" and disclose past war plans? Is the phrasing intended to hint that the US military is being directed to fight Israel's wars for them? Feinberg is an investment manager with huge conflicts of interest and zero public service except as Trump flunkie.
Weakening America's economy, reputation, and our military... that's what Orange does best. Perennial escalation and perpetual war are in his personal interest. Congress has to stop this.
Mix it up with Lore occasionally to keep em guessing.
Exactly this. Licensing by copyright holders must be maintained. Original, well-curated works are highly valuable data, without which AI drowns in its own misinformational slop. "AI training" is bullshit, anthropmorphic cover for complete ingestion and condensed storage of copyrighted works.
The thing I like most about Markwayne Mullin as the new DHS secretary is that he's monojetous.
Pressure from Dems was a factor, but the "performance evaluation" from Thom Tillis (NC, GOP), his promise to gum up all business of the committee until OIG investigations and whistleblower questions were answered, making Noem responsible for FEMA failures in North Carolina, etc., was devastating.
I've long deplored Carlson, but he has insight into geopolitical/georeligious currents that should be heeded. The Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem may soon be destroyed by Israeli forces, and construction of a "3rd Jerusalem Temple" commenced. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHrF...
Attending to the imitations of Aesop in Marcion's Gospel and its primary underlying source (Q thoroughly reimagined) could add a lot to such an analysis.
On June 14th a special someone is turning 80. Can Congress pass a law ("You Did It!") celebrating the occasion with an all expense covered retirement to an Assisted Living Facility? Bo Burnham has confirmed availability to orchestrate the anthem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaA5...
They went to the boss.
JUST IN: Jasmine Crockett concedes and urges Democrats to rally around James Talarico, who is now officially the party’s nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas.
If Talarico wins, I really hope he doesn't pull a Sinema. As an Obama 1.0 enthusiast, I remember feeling crushed when he (a self-branded new-FDR in Audacity of Hope) signed off on extending Bush's tax cuts for the rich, bringing us closer to the current chaos of anti-Constitutional oligarchy.
Instead of "CAN", perhaps "COULD" for the frame? It may be subtle, but the shift pictures each student's formational research journey as two Frostian paths, and avoids framing ed-tech of rights or even technical capacities. Students cannot hand over all research IP willy-nilly to AI, can they?
This kind of contemplative, comparative exercise is powerful, transformative. The radical, experimental, lived beauty of Nature and Her evolutionary processes are so infinitely superior to the bland, lifeless, and soulless artifices of data-grinding broligarchs who get off on playing God.
Gotta love how academic books don't earn you money, but LLMs can make money off of stealing them in the aggregate and if you write enough, they can also profit from stealing your personality after you are dead.
This is not a dunk whatsoever, but I wholeheartedly disagree with the first sentence. I'm old enough that a friend in my K class got polio and she ended up in a wheelchair for life. I think not vaccinating is akin to neglect like not feeding or clothing a child. And yes I have a kid.
It's not too late to relocate the World Cup to be held exclusively in Canada and Mexico. Barbarian despots and oath-breaking warmongers aren't fit to be hosts of any guests, not just Persians. For FIFA, this would be an act of justice and a step toward peace.
@warren.senate.gov for Senate Minority Leader. Unlie Schumer, Warren will actually honor the Constitution and put the interests of the US ahead of those of Agent Orange's masters in AIPAC, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Russia (who also stands to gain from this war in military sales to Iran).
Yes, and we want Democrats to elect a new Senate Minority leader who takes his oath of office to the Constitution seriously, defends Congress' sole war powers authority, and does not sit by idly (complicitly?) while the US military is made to fight wars for Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Schumer's personal mission statement is "Shomer Israel", i.e., "Israel's Guardian." Putting Israel's interests over those of the US is a breach of his Oath of Office. He is likely complicit as a silent partner in violating Congress' Sole War Powers authority. He must resign as Senate Minority Chair.
Here's a question for SECDOW real journalists should ask, why didn't you ask Congress for war powers authorization, as the Constitution requires? How are you not breaking your oath of office? Why are you treating the US military as slaves, fighting Israel's and Saudi Arabia's wars for them?
Tom Morello helped bring Black Sabbath's War Pigs (1970) back to life in the movie Metal Lords (2022). Good vibe/energy to feel these days as the US Constitution lays in shambles and our Founders' ghosts groan, their counsel unheeded about tyrants, oligarchs, and the entanglements of foreign wars.
It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!
lol this is an incredible video
Beautiful, heart-aching duet on SNL by two of my favorite musical artists... www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBLm...
Minnesota would like a word.
