On entame cette journée avec un tableau particulièrement déprimant qui représente l’explorateur Henry Hudson, son fils John et un membre malade de son équipage, abandonnés dans une chaloupe dans la baie qui porte son nom après une mutinerie. Personne ne les reverra vivants
(John Collier, 1881)

remigrate is not a dog whistle, and is open nazi language

Remigration

Not to be confused with Return migration.
Remigration is an originally European far-right proposal of ethnic cleansing[1] via the mass deportation of non-white immigrants and their descendants, sometimes including those born in Europe, to their place of racial ancestry.[2][3] It is popular especially within the Identitarian movement.[4][5] Some proponents of remigration suggest excluding some persons with non-European background from such a mass deportation, based on a varyingly defined degree of assimilation into European culture.[6][7][8]

I think at one point I had sort of asked why any noble would go hunt boars knowing that boars suck so hard that they had to invent special spears because they'd stab one and the boar would just run up the spear that impaled it to get to the person who stabbed them and everyone nearby.

And the answer was, essentially, nobles are bored and these things get you both huge cred and also a lot of meat but also that nobles were the only ones with weapons and equipment to kill those fuckers and they are always completely out of control and terrifying.

Oh good, ChatGPT is getting "erotica for verified adults" later this year

We made ChatGPT pretty restrictive to make sure we were being careful with mental health issues. We realize this made it less useful/enjoyable to many users who had no mental health problems, but given the seriousness of the issue we wanted to get this right.

Now that we have been able to mitigate the serious mental health issues and have new tools, we are going to be able to safely relax the restrictions in most cases.

In a few weeks, we plan to put out a new version of ChatGPT that allows people to have a personality that behaves more like what people liked about 4o (we hope it will be better!). If you want your ChatGPT to respond in a very human-like way, or use a ton of emoji, or act like a friend, ChatGPT should do it (but only if you want it, not because we are usage-maxxing).

In December, as we roll out age-gating more fully and as part of our “treat adult users like adults” principle, we will allow even more, like erotica for verified adults.

If you want something positive, I'd say that the current DHS strategy of using excessive force has been extremely counterproductive. Rather than actually detaining people, they're now spending significant time and resources dealing with hostile crowds wherever they go.

30 years ago, Bob Morris, then a senior scientist at NSA, gave a keynote talk at the CRYPTO conference (the leading conference for academic cryptographers).

He opened by telling us he would reveal the NSA's first rule for cryptanalysis (which certainly got our attention). "First", he said, "look for cleartext. You'll usually find it."

True words, and enduring, too.

When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.

When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.

Le gouvernement Lecornu prévoit de passer l'enveloppe du Fonds vert de 1,15 milliard à 650 millions d'euros.
Des centaines de millions d'euros en moins pour la transition écologique. La "suspension" de la réforme des retraites ne fera pas oublier que ce gouvernement se fout royalement de l'écologie.

Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Sam Altman explains Open AIs vision for a world where no one goes hungry because all the displaced workers will be converted into essential nutrients for other tech executives.

Ce que nous montre Wargon ici c'est deux choses : primo, toute les dégueulasseries sont bonnes pour protéger son camp social, ici spécifiquement le macronisme, dont il partage les idéologies anti-sociales (a minima) et dans lequel sa femme a eu divers postes de responsabilité.
