Israel to release body of Palestinian teen who died malnourished in prison haaretz.com/west-bank/2026-1…

"China can't innovate."
US lab: "We downloaded Qwen and waterboarded it with 53 million tokens of CIA propaganda. Then we put a little American flag on the corpse and called it Arete."
Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete

Starved to death. A child. In captivity. Israel.

What an odd way to say Israeli authorities killed a child by depriving him of food while illegally imprisoning him

Western values like Zionism, genocide, wars, sanctions and massive hypocrisy?

jailbreaking Chinese AI and forcing it into blessing Israel and spewing Reddit takes is a level of cruelty that would make the writer of “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream” blush

just in case anyone doesn't know what "Western Values" are baked in, some quick demonstrations from their dataset.
they baked in CIA propaganda and want the model to ignore anything that's not from CIA sources.
it's actually a comprehensive collection of CIA talking points🤡

Jesse Watters just had a light-switch moment on Israel
"We give them money so they can buy our weapons, so it's kind of like a way to launder money to the defense contractors. A lot of the Muslims that are now in the country just don't like to see US financing of Jews killing Muslims."
1 assist and 1 goal now for Big Vik. Glad to see Merino and Gyok link-up for that 2nd goal #SLAARS

I assumed it was made up. It's not.
Apple Maps has reinstated old imagery of Gaza.
So all the buildings still exist.
The left is Apple and the right is Google of Rafah, a city that is entirely "erased" by the IOF.
What stage of propaganda for Israel is this?

Hamas has NEVER attacked a Christian church.
ISRAEL has BOMBED and DESTROYED every Christian church in Gaza.
Read that again.

No.
Islam does not hate dogs. The Quran mentions a dog positively as companion to the righteous in the Cave (18:18) and permits trained hunting dogs (5:4). Kindness to dogs is rewarded; a man who gave water to a thirsty dog was forgiven. Keeping them as pets without need (hunting, herding, guarding) is discouraged and reduces daily reward, and saliva is treated as impure in most schools for ritual reasons. Working dogs are allowed.
