I'm not saying Trump is a Christian who both knows he's dying and knows he's going to hell, so he's trying to fake the rules out by forcing Armageddon as a heaven hack

(because his only god is MacDonalda)

But damn if that isn't a compelling villain born of the times that I'd never considered

MAGA's Election Interference Flip Trump is weaponizing foreign threats after gutting the infrastructure that fought them.

After 4 years vilifying disinformation researchers for having the temerity to study information threats to democracy, Trump is suddenly raising the banner of β€œforeign election interference” to attempt to justify his unlawful actions at home & abroad.

Imagine the counterfactual world where 10,000 people living in the pivotal swing Ass County, Nebrahoma weren't served a TikTok that convinced them California schools only let you play football if you convert to trans.

About 80 years ago, humans developed weapons capable of ending our species but somehow miraculously, we built a world system where countries who otherwise could build those weapons chose not to.

Anyhow, when we all die in a giant flash, I want πŸ‘‡ to be the last image my brain shows me.

Diagram of the animation career path, illustrated with a winding road on which Cyriak joyfully skips as he navigates his creative journey. Places of note along this circuitous route include "detour via job centre", "boring office job" and "making loads of weird videos". The journey ends with Cyriak striding purposefully into the future, though his hair takes a different path

Diagram of "The Process Rainbow", dividing the creative process into a spectrum of "making it up as i go along". The spectrum ranges from "no idea what I'm doing" (red), to "kind of know what i'm doing" (yellow), to "totally know what i'm doing" (blue). These categories are ordered along a vertical axis according to their "messing about level", from "not much" (blue) to "loads" (red). The horizontal axis measures "weirdness level" with blue being "normal-ish" and red being "crazy shit"

Did a talk recently and thought I should share a couple of slides from my presentation that perhaps warrant further study.

How US tech giants supplied Israel with AI models, raising questions about tech's role in warfare U.S. tech giants have quietly empowered Israel to track and kill many more alleged militants more quickly in Gaza and Lebanon through a sharp spike in artificial intelligence and computing services.

I would like to remind people that AI has already been used to kill people

OpenAI and Microsoft supplied Israel with AI models to track and kill people in Gaza which led to increased civilian deaths
