This is just rank Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, based on the bigoted idea that there is something inherently scary about a president with the last name "El-Sayed." It is incumbent on all of us to call it out.

Most people can’t be bothered to spell-check their AI generated subtitles. These guys are taking the time to misspell them JUST RIGHT. So fucking funny.

Yep. Earlier this year I was interviewed by Sharyn Alfonsi of 60 Minutes about my Epstein investigation. Subsequently, CBS pulled the segment and fired the reporter. The MAGA buyout of media is aiding the Trump administration’s Epstein cover up.
The New Republic@newrepublic.com · 2d agoBanks permitted millions in suspicious transactions tied to Epstein—and former 60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi had the story months ago. But the report would never air. trib.al/ZShZlIS
Stealing someone else's answer but legit pro-wrestling where the worst version is a $250 WWE ticket and the best version is a $30 @hoodslam.bsky.social ticket. 🤼♂️

"Oh, Mary!" is the one star casting show that you can safely gamble on. Especially since we know that the tour Marys are going to have a run on Broadway as well. Likely one more big Mary after Bowen Yang before we get to Alaska Thunderfuck playing Broadway.
I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Sometimes you get lucky and get a great spot to see an F1 car running extremely close to you.
There are 2 groups that say jews = Israel. Zionists use it as a shield to make any objections to the nation state of Israel seem antisemitic, to protect Israel. Antisemites do it to blame the actions of Israel on all Jews, because they hate Jews. Diaspora Jews suffer with both.
Charles Gaba ✡️@charlesgaba.com · 4d agoPeople need to get it through their heads that whatever they *might* have “actually” meant a couple of years ago, when leftists say “AIPAC” or “Israel” NOW they often mean (((Jewish))) just as when MAGA says “DEI” they mean “Black.” If you can’t get that I don’t know what the else to say.
Started my trek to go see #F1 cars actively running today. Wonder if Yuki will burn a Red Bull car on the Streets of Atlanta. #bus #transit #transitSelfie
If you need a new US Passport anytime soon, get it NOW. They are now holding special events at all the other passport offices for the new Trump Passport, and I definitely feel like this is just a step closer to manufacturing the consent to force it on everyone. travel.state.gov/en/passports...
The thing that's so fucking evil about the way big tech is doing AI is that it is the perfect tool to invert "From each according to their ability to each according to their needs." It allows blame for maximizing profit extraction to its logical and evil end to be diluted, and thus avoided.
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 7d agoI'm not saying that anyone ever sat down and said, "Parents with sick children will pay whatever we charge for a thermometer at 2AM." They didn't have to: this is the kind of thing an automated system can do without any human intervention: www.ftc.gov/system/files... 15/
lord, grant me the self-confidence of a young man in a three-quarter zip, who worked for FTX, then got fired from OpenAI, then set up a fund called *Situational Awareness*. we're all doing the imposter syndrome thing and these guys are... not
While labeling AI content is a good policy for tech firms, it probably won’t save the rest of us who have to deal with its outputs.
Google's SynthID watermark is hard to break, but it doesn't solve AI disinformation

AI is a normal tech. That means there are times when it is useful and times when it is pointless or actively harmful. One rule of thumb for chatbots is that they can only provide useful information to experts who have the discernment to ignore the defective output that LLMs *always* emit. 60/
Xumo Play has a Xena Warrior Princess streaming channel for those in the US.

We are all Non Player Characters to the billionaire class
By Cory Doctorow (GPG 0xBF3D9110957E5F4C)@doctorow.pluralistic.net · 2w agoI have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/
