Alle mennesker burde få leve som den de er uten å bli diskriminert, trakassert eller dårligere behandlet på grunn av identitet eller uttrykk.

Det er virkelig ingen i norsk politikk som bryr seg. Uansett regjering så kuttes det

NRK går gjennom Trump-dekning NRK går nå igjennom materiale fra dekningen av stormingen av Kongressen 6. januar i 2021. Utenriksredaktør Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen sier at i lys av det som har skjedd i BBC, går vi gjennom nyhetsp...

Helt utrolig hvordan ytre høyre nå dikterer NRKs og andres dekning. Media er så redd for eventuell kritikk og mulige søksmål, at de gjør et knefall for Trumps agenda FØR noe konkret skjer. Tror ikke ytre høyre selv hadde sett for seg at dette skulle være så lett! Lover ekstremt dårlig for framtida.

Ok, that makes sense I think. Not quite how they can put trillions into bonds, but then need that to take out loans, but 🤷

I wish I could say that I understood anything about what that means. What difference does it make that hedge funds own theses treasury bonds?

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

Sora is pumping out AI generated videos depicting AI generated «black women» screaming, literally creating the Angry Black Woman racist trope.

This will harm black women.

I fucking hate techbros.
So fucking much.

Fuck OpenAI.
Fuck Sam Altman.
Fuck all of them.
I hope they all rot in jail.

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

There's been endless talk about an AI bubble, but less about exactly how, why, and how much it's a bubble. So I turned to the framework put forward by scholars Brent Goldfarb and David A. Kirsch, authors of "Bubbles and Crashes," for assessing tech bubbles.

Spoiler: On a scale of 1 to 8, AI is an 8

Isn't it already?

I was at a shitty crustpunk bar once getting an after-work beer. One of those shitholes where the bartenders clearly hate you. So the bartender and I were ignoring one another when someone sits next to me and he immediately says, "no. get out."

No, instead I'll ask you to think about why centrism has done nothing but compromise to the far right for over 15 years. Really sit on that and think about who "centrism" really serves, because there's only one side benefiting from it. And it isn't anyone left-of-centre.

Late stage capitalism means you too can own stocks in Auschwitz.

Kentucky’s lone transgender athlete can’t play on the team she helped start Fischer Wells helped start her school's girls field hockey team in Louisville. Then the state banned all transgender girls from playing. She's the only one.

He also rightly pointed out that when the KY legislature passed the ban there was only one trans athlete in the whole state--a seventh grader kicked off the field hockey team she started www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Asking an LLM to 'never invent data' is like asking a lion to 'never eat meat'.

LLMs have no concept of truth or fiction. They are trained on text, not truth. Even when 'retrieving', their answers are always just a prediction of 'the kind of answer that might be given to this kind of query'.

Re: the Labour shenanigans detailed in The Fraud. "Gordstein", it should be noted, was not a real person but an invention of Euan Philipps of Labour Against Antisemitism, who is not Jewish but made complaints under what he obviously considered to be a 'Jewish-sounding' name

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death. The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died. While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants. Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.
