These are totally unsupported claims with no links, citations or even statements like “sources familiar with the matter.” I read basically every single story about AI efficacy at big companies, especially salesforce. These are either made up or egregious extrapolations of things.

This seems like a maliciously put headline to make people feel a certain way.

Wikipedia is not partaking in generative AI. They are making AI companies and scrappers having to pay for training their modules off wikipedia texts. And having an AI (not that ai) tasked with updating dead links.

This is an Underground Railroad style operation. This is what I mean that we should study UR history, tactics, and strategy.

ken is one of the last true american journalists, who is actually doing what journalists are supposed to do. cancel your NYT/WaPo/Atlantic/<Whatever other blinkered and state-fellating “news” tabloid> subscriptions and give him that money instead

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."

This could be the unified Dem position. It is wildly popular. Puts the regime on defense on two fronts at the same time. Good policy, good politics.

While the pasty incels who work the federal agencies continue to churn out feeble, bloodless AI pastiches of Axis propaganda, here’s how a living breathing artist powerfully invokes design history. This is by illustrator Emily K in South Philly, a free poster-sized download on her website: →

very important concerns🔥🔥🔥
Review of the Exposure Draft Legislation: Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 Submission 14 Submission to the Review of the Exposure Draft Legislation: Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026 Dr David Brophy, University of Sydney I refer to Section 80.2BF of the Combatting Antisemitism, Hate and Extremism Bill 2026, the intent of which is to criminalise "publicly promoting or inciting racial hatred etc." In particular, I refer to paragraph 249 of the Explanatory Memorandum, which states: 249. New subparagraph 80.2BF(1)(b)(ii) is intended to include dissemination of ideas which assert that one group, distinguished by race, colour, national or ethnic origin, is inherently superior or inferior to another, ideas promoting exclusion, segregation or denial of rights based on race, colour or national or ethnic origin or encouraging contempt, hostility or dehumanisation of those groups. I am concerned that a law prohibiting the dissemination of such ideas will capture within its scope ordinary and mainstream forms of support for Israel As is well known, Israeli laws and policies are routinely criticised —by UN bodies, human rights organisations, and scholars as differentiating rights on the basis of nationality or ethnicity. A prohibition extending to the "dissemination of ideas... promoting exclusion, segregation or denial of rights based on race, colour or national or ethnic origin" would therefore place supporters of Israel in the position of having to defend whether their political views fall foul of the proposed provision, even when those views are expressed in good faith and through lawful democratic advocacy. This risk is heightened by the fact that support for Israel is not limited to abstract expressions of solidarity but often entails endorsement of specific legal and political structures: Israel's self-definition as a Jewish state; its constitutional order; its citizenship and immigration laws; and its security regime in the occupi…

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.

“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”

A profile in absolute courage.
The A.N.C., in a statement, called Dr. Christie’s role “in disrupting and exposing the apartheid state’s clandestine nuclear weapons program” an “act of profound revolutionary significance.” From the doctoral dissertation he had written at the University of Oxford on the history of electricity in South Africa, Dr. Christie provided the research needed to blow up the Koeberg Nuclear Power Station; the Arnot coal-fired power station; the Sasol oil-from-coal facilities that produced the heavy water critical to producing nuclear weapons; and other critical sites. Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”

A colored sketch of Esther holding a stack of papers to her chest. Her back is slightly toward the viewer and she's turning her head to look at them, giving a smile.

If you are working with a traditional publisher and they give you a proof that feels off, ask them about the paper grain being used. As a self-publisher it becomes your job to discuss this with your press to get it right. Everything counts in making a book right.

Chiitan loves all transgender people.
I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives.
Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like.
love you all 🤍

Just ran across a Reddit discussion of where I got the word Stravag; and tying it to vulgar Russian.

As protests grow over violent ICE enforcement actions in Minneapolis, the president said he could invoke a centuries-old law that would give him sweeping powers to deploy the military in U.S. cities.

The White House did not release a statement on the president's threat. Here's what to know.
Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act (again). What is it?

Tumblr: writing-prompt-s: "The Anti-Christ came and went, but no one noticed because he wasn't worse than the current state of the world already is. The rapture followed, but no one went to Heaven, so we didn't notice that either. We've been living in Hell for the last 5 years, and no one has noticed, yet." probsjosh: "oh I didn't realize this was a writing prompt"

Government agencies are buying their way around our constitutional right to privacy by purchasing sensitive data instead of getting a warrant. Congress can put a stop to it.
