I’m sure I’m gonna get dragged for this, but I think AI is bad. AI has completely ruined Google search and it’s created a lot more slop that needs to be avoided on the Internet.

Calling them the “Seditious Six” & branding their statements “despicable” before review is textbook definition of prejudgment. No panel, judge, or reviewing authority can claim neutrality once the SECDEF declares the accused guilty. This looks like the procedures used in dictatorships, not the US.

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business.
The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay.
It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders.
Textbook corporate greed.

Zürcher Kantonsrat sieht bei der Polizei kein Rassismusproblem
Ein Vorstoss der Ratslinken für zusätzliche Massnahmen im Bereich Diskriminierung scheiterte. Auslöser für das Postulat waren unter anderem rassistische Polizei-Chats und der Tod eines Jugendlichen in Lausanne.
