Amazon Allegedly Replaced 40% of AWS DevOps With AI Days Before Crash Should we not rely on one service to support everything?

Allegedly.

Jeez...

Covid & Cancer September 26, 2025 Ben Clark Cancer, Covid-19, News There is now compelling medical evidence that Covid-19 infections can reactivate dormant cancer cells, and trigger the growth of secondary cancers (metastatic progression). In studies, cancer survivors who contracted Covid had a statistically significant higher risk of cancer-related deaths compared to uninfected cancer survivors. This is such an important issue that BuDS has decided to run an awareness campaign over the autumn and winter. The aim of the campaign will be to warn cancer survivors of the very real additional danger that Covid poses to them.

Avatar whatacartouchebag Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image.Badge image. 5d Crawling out of my hole to remind people that with this current update to Firefox (version 144) they've gone and dumped in their lot with a buncha lil AI tools, namely Perplexity as a new search engine. So if the sound of that leaves your mouth tasting of tar, here's what you want to do: In the url bar, type in about:config It'll give you a big scary warning page that you might poke holes in your browser. Good. You want to do that. Click continue. One by one, you're going to need to put each of these into the search bar in the page, not up top: browser.ml.enable browser.ml.chat.enabled extensions.ml.enabled browser.ml.linkPreview.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled browser.tabs.groups.smart.userEnabled Each of these are gonna have a lil toggle icon on the right hand side that looks like a funky double-ended arrow. Click that and the value next to it should change to false. It all auto saves as you go. Some of these might already be set to false by default and that's peachy. The next best thing you can do for yourself is to set your default search engine to udm14 or Qwant, but for now, we're just tidying the garden a lil bit.

here's how you remove the AI from the latest Firefox update

I didn't have the means to get a higher education, and I've never been happy about it. The fact that someone who had the privilege of going to law school is doing this shit, instead of actually using the education I couldn't access, really burns me up.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

ChatGPT gave a significant portion of my students the wrong answer to an easy quiz question that everyone used to always get right

I had two groups of students turn in annotated bibliographies that were ChatGPT generated - not a single citation actually existed

"What if, in the process of trying to ban AI products that quite actually encourage children to kill themselves, we wind up banning chatbots that help children cheat on their homework, diminish their propensity for critical thought, and lead to the development of other forms of AI psychosis?"

OpenAI pauses Sora video generations of Martin Luther King Jr. | TechCrunch OpenAI is pausing AI video generations of Martin Luther King at the request of the late civil rights activists' estate.

If only OpenAI could have foreseen the entirely predictable hazards of irresponsibly releasing this tech. I guess the estate of every dead person will have to individually request a special dispensation to no longer have disgusting videos made by OpenAI’s tools.

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

It was never a Gaza 'war'. The 'ceasefire' is a lie cut from the same cloth Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is doomed. No people in history has ever resigned itself to permanent servitude and oppression. The Palestinians will prove no different

Tweet by Jermaine Fowler @thehumanityarchive that reads:”FYI. America has had 10 government shutdowns since 1976. No other developed democracy does this. They keep operating at last year's funding until deals are reached. But here, a shutdown stops child nutrition services and furloughs food inspectors while ICE keeps running, prisons stay full, wars keep going, debt gets collected, and Congress never misses their $174,000 salaries with complimentary gym memberships. They don't close the whole government. They close the parts that help you and keep the parts that serve power.”

The federal government is still shut down.

There are lessons here (if anyone is paying attention)

The genocide case against Israel is proceeding, as it should.

War crimes don't vanish after the conclusion of war.

So they don't like anti-fascists, and they don't like people who say no kings... I feel like the shape of what they hate is revealing the shape of what they are.

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

Can we just marvel at how fucked up a country has to be to need "sanctuary cities" for its own citizens?

People will die if this is implemented. Frequently.

You don’t need AI; AI is not “inevitable.” That’s a lie being fed to you by companies who are going to lose a fuckton of money if they don’t convince you that AI is something you can’t live without.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda hits out at AI-generated videos of her dead father: ‘stop doing this to him’ Film-maker tells the public to stop sending her videos, saying: ‘You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings’

“You’re not making art, you’re making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else’s throat hoping they’ll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross."

ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day Documents show that ICE has gone back on its decision to not use location data remotely harvested from peoples' phones. The database is updated every day with billions of pieces of location data.

Just two years ago, DHS' own watchdog found CBP & ICE were violating privacy policies & breaking the law in how it handled location data. Now this. These tools are dangerous in any government's hands.

Elon Musk Leads Campaign To Force Netflix To Remove Shows With Trans Characters Musk's posts have been seen by tens of millions of users, and many conservatives are now attempting to force Netflix into a removal of LGBTQ+ content.

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

Last night, in response to the Israeli military attacking the Sumud flotilla attempting to deliver aid to starving people in Gaza, 10,000 protesters marched in Rome.

Another solidarity flotilla is on the way to Gaza right now.

A general strike will take place in Italy tomorrow.

Free Palestine.
