  • Data from ‘half a million hours of Ukraine conflict drone footage’ now available to train AI

    Jump

  • the AI/drobe warfare age.

    Is a drobe used in war a wardrobe?

  • Nvidia’s CEO Jensen Huang says electricians and plumbers will be needed by the hundreds of thousands in the new working world

    Jump

  • “The skilled craft segment of every economy is going to see a boom. You’ve going to have to be doubling and doubling and doubling every single year.”

    Doubling every year? For how many years, Jensen? Enough for all these people to finish trade school and make a decades-long career? And how are the AI companies who already can't see any way to make a profit going to fund this exponential growth in their costs?

  • Intersex Teacher in Florida Says School Fired Him Based on Belief He Was Trans. Shepard Scalf said in an EEOC filing that a parent complained to the district that he was transgender.

    Jump

  • I see it as a battle for human rights. Some people have been pushed into the front lines of the battle, but the fascists have us all in their sights. Are the rest of us going to leave them there to fight alone, hoping they win and all our rights stay intact, or are we going to stand and fight with them? If the front line falls the fascists won't stop there. We really are all in this together.

  • Trump's $14M Reflecting Pool Paint Job Is Now Peeling Off And Floating To The Surface

    Jump

  • A great success: the dirty, smelly, green pond with chunks floating on the surface from some cowboy MAGA contractor whose work lasted one week will be a perfect symbol of the USA on its 250th birthday.

  • Stop Killing the Internet: Governments are walling off the open internet. We are a global movement opposing restrictions — and building a better internet.

    Jump

  • i2p is good. I also have my eye on Reticulum.

  • DOJ claims xAI’s unpermitted gas turbines are a matter of ‘national, economic, and energy security’

  • For anyone else having trouble with this site's adblockerblocker, Firefox's reader mode is an effective adblockerblockerblocker.

  • Quote of the day by Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'If you put a key under the mat for the cops, a burglar can find it, too' — a stark warning on threats to undermine privacy

    Jump

  • America has lost its war with Iran

    Jump

  • However, it is winning its wars against health and a habitable planet.

  • AMD changes rules, denies researcher $10,000 bounty after taking 124 days to patch security flaw

    Jump

  • But they saved themselves a whopping $10,000. It's not like AMD has that kind of money to throw around.

  • AI Agent Bankrupted Their Operator While Trying to Scan DN42

    Jump

  • In a pleasing kind of way.

  • Three of four Republicans who forced the release of the Epstein files are now out of jobs

    Jump

  • Also a regular rapist.

  • Google Chrome is killing all uBlock Origin bypasses, Microsoft Edge, Opera to follow

    Jump

  • I like Vivaldi except for two things: it uses the same engine as Chrome so facilitates Google's stranglehold on web standards, and it is closed-source. For functionality and design it's one of the best, but those are important downsides.

  • Swastika-waving neo-Nazi group disrupts Georgia LGBTQ+ Pride celebration

    Jump

  • It's not sympathy. It's recognition that Nazism is a disease any society can succumb to. It's refusal to take the cheap option and say they're not human. Their being human is what makes Nazism so dangerous. And we probably agree that you can't pull punches in dealing with Nazis.

    I suspect we're using the term "human" differently. In my book it's neutral: humanity means great potential for good and evil. Nazism is the great evil in humanity's potential. But by "human" people sometimes mean to focus on what makes us capable of compassion and selflessness and not just brutes. There's none of that in Nazism: it's sheer brutality and selfishness. So in that sense Nazis do lack humanity.

    I reject your claim that I'm sympathetic to Nazis. There's no sympathy for Nazis here, just a recognition of how deeply dangerous Nazism is.

  • Swastika-waving neo-Nazi group disrupts Georgia LGBTQ+ Pride celebration

    Jump

  • "Nazis aren't human but we are" is how we got to the point of having Nazis everywhere again. It's this kind of thinking that makes people complacent. Nazis are ordinary humans, ordinary people. Becoming a Nazi is a thing regular people do. That's why Nazism is so dangerous. They're not weird monsters, they're regular humans acting as a poison in society. Every society should be on guard for signs that its people are turning Nazi.

    Which isn't to say we should be gentle and tolerant towards these poisonous people. Left undealt with, Nazi poison will destroy everything. It has to be dealt with decisively, and when the government is full of Nazis it's up to the people to fight back.

  • Bovino Launches Exploratory Committee for Presidential Campaign With Pledge to Deport 100 Million People

    Jump

  • Why on earth would you think that's his mindset?

  • The Trump Meet the Press interview that spun out of control after he was probed about his ‘rigged elections’ conspiracies

    Jump

  • The fact that he spent decades fucking kids with Epstein is sort of interesting. He might be eligible for some kind of "bigliest pedo rapist" award. It's interesting enough that they should release the rest of the files like they're legally obligated to do.

  • Age-verification partner Yoti is reporting GrapheneOS users to authorities for using GrapheneOS, due to "past security concerns."

    Jump

  • They don't seem annoyed by their own false positives when they classify anyone who opposes genociding Palestinians as a terrorist. The UK Government seems quite happy with these heavy-handed tactics for the oppression of politically inconvenient people.

  • Pro-Israel voices win out, kill bill to stop US-Israel military integration

    Jump

  • You're misreading the headline because it contains a scope ambiguity:

    1. Pro-Israel voices win out, kill [bill to stop US-Israel military integration]

    vs

    1. [Pro-Israel voices win out, kill bill] to stop US-Israel military integration

    1 would mean that they killed a bill whose aim was to stop military integration. 2 would mean they killed a bill, and their aim in killing the bill was to stop military integration.

    You're reading 2, but 1 is what the publisher meant. There was a move to integrate US and Israeli militaries. Then there was a bill to stop this integration. But that bill got killed by pro-Israel votes, so the integration is still going ahead.
