Always a good time to revisit Who Goes Nazi

Colin Carlson @colincarlson.bsky.social · 5h

In the last few weeks, I found out one colleague is assisting the Department of War, and another (who works with migrants!) is assisting Customs and Border Patrol. So, I'm just reposting this, instead of sharing my actual thoughts.

Who Goes Nazi?, by Dorothy Thompson

Donald Trump calls for a ban on Muslims entering the United States; Dorothy Thompson wonders who is most susceptible to Nazism.

“We would expect people who are AI literate to not only be a bit better at interacting with AI systems, but also at judging their performance with those systems,” Welsch added, “but this was not the case.” (lol. lmfao.)

“‘When it comes to AI, the [Dunning-Kruger effect] vanishes,’ study senior author Robin Welsch, a professor at Aalto University, said in a statement about the work. ‘In fact, what’s really surprising is that higher AI literacy brings more overconfidence.’”

Remember to only feed your titanic spaceship with rocky, preferably inhabited planets. Gas clouds and asteroid belts simply don't have the necessary nutrients, and the swarm of ennemy ships trying to stop it will provide intellectual stimulation !

Another comm done ! #Art #WarhammerArt

An illustration of a gigantic, moon-sized necron ship harvesting a planet. The ship has a maw-like front cradling a small black hole.
The black hole is tearing a planet apart and feeding from it. All around, you can see necron and imperial ship fighting, but barely making a scratch on the gigantic harvester ship.

Fascinating graph shows the estimated total mass of all the mammals living on Earth.

In 1850, it was evenly divided between wildlife and humans + domesticated animals. Today, humans and their livestock account for about 95% of the total. 🧪

www.nature.com/articles/s41...

$Black labels indicate absolute biomass estimates, gray labels indicate the fraction of the total estimated biomass of mammals (see Fig. S9 for the estimated fraction of global biomass). Top: the total biomass of humans and domesticated mammals (cattle, buffalo, swine and others). Bottom: the total biomass of wild marine mammals, along with a coarse, preliminary estimate of the total biomass of wild land mammals, based on previously published temporal abundance estimates.$

Well this is quite a revealing look at Google and Amazon's relationship with Israel.

Inside Israel’s deal with Google and Amazon

To secure Project Nimbus, the tech giants agreed to disregard their own terms of service and tip Israel off if a foreign court demands its data.

“Young people are using it a lot more like an assistant in their pocket, a therapist when they’re struggling, a companion when they want to be validated, and even sometimes in a romantic way. It’s that personalisation aspect – they’re saying: it understands me, my parents don’t.”

Beginning of the Polar Night.

It's this time of the year again - sun barely rises and is most of the time obscured by clouds. Back in the Cretaceous, Arctic winters would have been even darker and greyer: warmer climate meant little snow, and studies suggest a permanent polar cloud cap. Poor dinos.

An older digital painting of a Nanuqsaurus - a smallish, arctic Tyrannosaurus relative - stalking behind a multi-trunked dead tree. The sky is grey, the ground brown and covered with dead leaves and needles, and water on the foreground is frozen. The entire landscape is a kind of grey twilight.
