re: 10.; what's ironic is that the dsa does not pretend to support a two state solution, in fact it is the democrats that "strongly believe in a two state solution" which in practice has meant allowing the population to be mass slaughtered and ethnically cleansed.

the satire is much funnier when properly applied to reality, and not based on delusions

In the West Bank, some of the violence against Palestinians is being carried out by young Israeli shepherds known as Hilltop Youth, who come for a sense of adventure and are told they’re on a God-given mission to redeem the land. cbsn.ws/4yLzzCv

What we’re NOT gonna do is talk shit about Mike Flanagan. The man who gave us what I consider to be one of the best shows ever written, directed, filmed, acted, scored. And that’s Midnight Mass.

I love how every new interest or hobby I acquire eventually gets picked up by my twitter algorithm and it quickly starts feeding me mentally ill no-life discord kitten type account posts whose entire existence is that one topic and every matter is life or death

John Yoo coming out to comment on this really gets to the heart of things. He is Mr. Unitary Executive, and is here to ensure we all assent to the state's monopoly on violence, its right to kill us above all else.
John Yoo on Christa Pike, who survived a botched execution: "Why not use the firing squad? So I think what's gonna have to happen is Tennessee is gonna have to go back and try again."

firing squad, hanging, guillotine, gas. you can end yourself or another with a tank of nitrogen and an over bag. lethal injection is a fucked way to die, or god forbid survive.
BREAKING: Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike is alive and being treated in hospital after two lethal injections were administered and her execution failed.

Any time an industry comes to you and says, “Help us regulate ourselves,” you have to be skeptical. AI needs strong guardrails to protect the public—not rules written to make tech CEOs and billionaires even richer.

Many of the most vocal politicians now calling for government regulation of AI companies are also among those receiving the most money from the AI companies themselves. What an intriguing coincidence.

Big short dude is correct. The Ai apocalypse is actually for the Ai datacenter business (nobody else) where their big bets are going to blow up, because local models are nearly as good, free, and getting better. Tech bros F’d up badly … now they use fear. Not nice.
Big Short investor Steve Eisman says the AI labs know they have no moats and are manufacturing a crisis to get regulation that hands them a duopoly "I think this is all nonsense." [ You think it's all nonsense? ] "All nonsense. I think that there's something else completely going on here. ... What I think is happening is that token maxing is over. The open weight models are taking big market share. I think these companies are very nervous. They realize that there are no moats around their business whatsoever, and they're trying to manufacture a crisis that will create regulation, and that they think they can then manipulate to create the moats, to create the duopoly that they want." [ Wow. ] "That's what I think is going on." "Honestly, I think this whole Terminator thing is garbage. That's for sure."

Anthropic has set up a wet lab in San Francisco, their bio research has advanced beyond in silico. They are now conducting physical research both in-house and with external partners. The NYT also broke the news this morning that Anth now plans to scale its compute to 5 GW by the end of the year, and 10 GW within the next 16 months. Bio is next after math, and I think we are going to see some medical announcements much sooner than people are expecting.

AI firms are subject to already-existing laws, @linamkhan tells @cwarzel: Part of the conversation around regulating AI “seems to assume that these current developments are happening in some legal vacuum,” she adds, “and that is just false.” theatln.tc/65NUk0Q9 #TAF26

So let me get this straight: AI CEOs now say the end of the world is near because of what their AI bots have been doing - but they want an antitrust exemption as a reward? How about instead we make them liable for whatever bad stuff their bots do
