It took Abiy Ahmed roughly a year to go from Nobel laureate to war criminal. Maybe she gets to instigate war crimes before she even receives hers. And by these standards, Trump is sure to be the 2026 pick.

So ist es mit der organisierten Frauenverachtung: die Gewalt gibt es, schlimm, schlimm, und sie darf benannt werden, ja, ja. Aber die Täter, die Täter lassen sich leider nirgends finden.

What's the point of it all if these products of AI hell are open access? Either it's to dupe universities into paying open access fees for articles their staff never authored, or it's to generate scientific-looking text that can used for the further training of the LLMs that created this toxic slop.

Also use a range of fictional profiles and real academics' images and affiliations to populate your "editorial board" in order to make your "journal" look less obviously scammy. All without the knowledge or consent of the real academics in question, of course.

A new trend in "leveraging AI for research": Generate "research papers" that are half plagiarized and half LLM-generated, put the names of real academics on those "papers," publish them in your "journal" and make them open access.

So Elmo says he needs one trillion dollars to build and control a "robot army." Not only is he still lifting his "business ideas" from ancient video games, he's also the kind of person who'd side with Mr. House in Fallout: New Vegas. Of course he is.

Been pondering the ending for a full day now, and it's not just a damn good study of how cults operate, I think it can also be watched as a season-length retelling of "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas."

It would be very 2025 if the decision to award the Peace Nobel to Machado turned out to be a catalyst for war.

But behind that fiction lies the fascist fantasy of purifying the nation by enacting lethal violence on the "uncivilized" and the "undocumented" - ICE is doing it in Chicago and other cities, the US Navy is doing it in the Gulf of Mexico. And Hamas is doing it to "collaborators" in Gaza.

The notion that there's an actual peace agreement for Gaza, and that Hamas would willingly give up their power and their weapons - pure fiction. The notion that the National Guard did anything to make DC a safer place - also pure fiction.
