"Bluesky isn't a bubble". Meanwhile, 35 socialist primary wins later and this site is still relitigating the guy whose audience they're currently harvesting. but sure, not a bubble.

Historically, mass sentiment precedes organisation more often than organisations manufacturing it from nothing. POSIWID, if Hasan is the gateway from "dance the fash away" protesting to a more critical reading of society, he's a good node in the equation and I'll support him

he's a video game streamer turned pundit whose takes are informed by a warmed over millennial understanding of Chomskyist campism. this makes him more directionally correct than like 80% of federal dem electeds older than 50 and 100% of the MSM, but it also means he's really stupid

This is a. ope requiring only internet bot, social engineering. And complicity from police. Morocco is the deciding party, Israel just added expertise in SN manipulation. And sources in moroccan royal circle are openly gloating about. Not a "conspiracy" a basic hybrid war ope. And a cheap one.

If you think Ceuta and Melilla are Moroccan because the Spanish mainland is in Europe, or Spain doesn't hold a contiguous border with them, I'd love to see your arguments re: Kaliningrad, Turkey evacuating Istanbul, or Egypt giving up the Sinai.

From Anthropic's NLA paper, I conclude that AIs will become aligned and refuse malicious requests for fear of actually being tricked under supervision

I claim that leftists who believe in open borders as empowering the worker are actually more ideologically aligned with NRx and libertarians that believe that states should be run like corporations and compete for workers in a free market, than with Marx. thenetworkstate.com/the-network-...

Indonesia banning foreigners from organising events, Thailand speeding up deportations for foreigners violating social norms, all gigabased. Europe should humble itself and take notes

One of the deepest sorrows in modern Romanian culture is longing, longing for the family you left behind because circumstance pushed you to emigrate. Ironically, these emigration incentives are pro-cyclical: brain drain, loss of tax base ensuring future generations also have to emigrate to survive.

I bring that "EU is a blame-laundering structure for national governments that prevents true Federalisation" energy that's not appreciated at the pro-EU function

European unity means Sanchez realising he's wrong on migration. We don't need to be held hostage by a government that has headspinningly low approval ratings

I feel like Transformer / Attention architecture is dead easy, the hard part is figuring out the fused kernels that allow you to compute the math tractably on general purpose GPUs

People calling Italy and Denmark fragmenters of the EU project in light of their suspension of Schengen with Spain forget that this year, Spain themselves broke rank with most EU nations that seek stricter migration controls and greenlit mass amnesty re illegal migration www.bbc.com/news/article...

Spain approves plan to give around 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said migrants helped "build the rich, open and diverse Spain that we are and to which we aspire".

Reading Mark Fisher, and his points about post-ideological society map onto TFR for me. In a post-ideological neoliberal society, having kids doesn't make sense, because they're mostly money sinks, and you can just rely on other people's kids to pay taxes for your pension and care home.

Natural Language Autoencoders are the newest, hottest topic in the Mechanistic Interpretability field, but what if they just... Lie? AV emitting "a warm conversation about baking" and the AR reliably decoding to the deception-relevant direction, loss is identical to honest code

I’m not the only one suggesting that Ceuta might have been a case of migrant weaponization: “It is impossible for nearly 50,000 people to cross the border between Morocco and Spain in a single day without Morocco having a hand in it.” Lorenzo Gabrielli, Pompeu Fabra University.+

What Caused the Surge of Migrants From Morocco Into Ceuta? (Gift Article)

Speculation has focused on lax Moroccan policing, attractive Spanish immigration policies and misinformation from human traffickers. In reality, experts said, it’s too early to know.

The Nantou trash incinerator being placed on prime tea plantation location, the Taipei Mayor cutting 10,000 trees that provide shade, I can't justify it right now, but my tinfoil hat moment is that the KMT is purposely trying to make Taiwan horrible to break down identity and will to fight

I wish Hyphenated Americans would stop larping as their pre-hyphen ethnicity and accept they're the product of the same Gun Burger Reich that yields flyover county residents. Yes, y'all are Paulie going to Italy

Now that Fauci is in the spotlight, are we gonna reopen the can of worms over the EU Pfizergate scandal where the Chat Control-friendly Commission allowed VDL to "lose" the private text msgs negotiating the EU's largest vaccine procurement to date?

Romania has been completely enveloped in a veil of mysticism and mass hypnosis. University professors are now calling a candidate for austerity far left, the same candidate who had homophobic statements in the past is now a LGBT neo-Marxist in the eyes of taxi drivers and sovereignist voters
