Final stage of tidying. And now we come to the citizens of Altefritzenburg! The common men and women, the various professionals, militia, town watch, shopkeepers, drunkards, duellists, nobles and all in between. I should probably stop painting civilians soon... Maybe... #wargaming

And, what’s more, it’s middle manager bullshit. Parties and pep rallies and pleasing statements until the laborer finally says, hey, I don’t believe you anymore, and then the smiling facade fades and you’re adversaries.

People have long suspected the Democratic Party hasn’t meant what it’s said and what it’s fundraised and grandstanded on, and they suspected it because it was true. Now, it’s just a manic and desperate attempt to attack the base and “discipline” it and that simply doesn’t work.

It’s fun watching voices who attacked anyone who even expressed difficulty voting because they didn’t want to support genocide turn around and encourage people not to vote because they might lose a primary. Hopefully this vote blue no matter who nonsense has been exposed at this point.

That was fast. Google sent me a statement saying it is now “rolling back“ this AI feature after our demonstration and others from OSINT researchers www.404media.co/google-earth...

AI companies are buying, scanning, and destroying older books to improve their models' training data & avoid problems of "model collapse" (wherein LLMs choke on their own slop). One of their suppliers is Better World Books, which partners with public libraries. www.404media.co/ai-companies...

very funny that after all the “Emily Wilson is going to longhouse Western Civilization with her woke Odyssey”, Emily Wilson herself is like “yeah, a bit too much ‘healing trauma’ and not enough ‘relishing in the blood of your enemies’ in the new movie”

These articles are so bizarre! It’s like the existence of LLMs is entirely disconnected from their outcomes to the point that 50% or more of articles about AI are discussing a theoretical future technology

the vast majority of agricultural labor in the USA is done by undocumented latinos in an illegal kafala system-type employment arrangement with millionaire plantation owners and a small force of overseers who LARP as rugged cowboys. if you do not understand this you are not a serious leftist.

people do not fucking understand how agriculture is actually done in this country. they still have this little house on the prairie image of a white guy in overalls and a straw hat with a pitchfork, not overseers in ATVs driving around a 10,000 acre property at night to police mexican farm workers
