“A.I. has to work for the warfighter, and enterprises.”🤔 Yikes— frantic, all over the place Palantir CEO Alex Karp lashes out at reporters over their “stupid” Q’s about A.I. + makes it clear war & enriching themselves are their prioroties (Our Q: “will you pee in this cup?”😬)

Als Teenager hatte ich mal auf ner Party zu viel getrunken & bin weggenickt. Bin davon wach geworden, dass mir ein Typ seine Zunge in den Mund gesteckt & mich angefasst hat. Zum Glück ist mir schlecht geworden & er ist darauf hin weg. Eine Freundin hat mich heim gebracht. Hab so viel Glück gehabt.

Lesenswert: Der Bruder des getöteten „Kochs von Gaza", Mahmud Almadhoun, über den die Zeit einen langen Podcast produzierte, kritisiert die Art und Weise, wie dessen Tod zu einem Rätsel gemacht wurde.

German media—most recently DIE ZEIT with their five-part podcast series The Gaza Chef—keeps producing podcasts and articles about my brother Mahmoud, treating his death like a mystery to be solved. They bring on experts to discuss AI algorithms, "target rooms," and pattern-recognition errors. They ask whether a machine made an operational mistake because our kitchen was "near" a hospital Israel had designated a target.

They wonder out loud if a baker moving through his own neighborhood looks, to a computer program, like a fighter. They call it "the banality of AI in warfare." I call it a targeted assassination.

When this project started, participating seemed like a good idea on the surface. It felt like a chance to honor Mahmoud's legacy and make sure people knew who he was and what he built. When we spoke to the reporter, we genuinely felt they would be fair. I still appreciate the time and care they put into investigating his life, and we got along well—I'm not attacking the person who worked on the story. But seeing how it all took shape, the final picture just feels incomplete.

When I look at the media coverage, even the basic geography gets twisted. Our kitchen wasn't near that hospital. It was over half a mile away. You do not make a half-mile error with high-precision surveillance and guided munitions. That is not how any of this technology works, and everyone writing these pieces knows it.
When I go back to what actually happened, the reality is plain: Mahmoud was killed because he was feeding starving people in northern Gaza. He was killed because someone decided that keeping thousands of displaced families alive was something that needed to be stopped.

There is a fundamental bias running through all of this coverage, German media most of all. Israel's military is treated as a system where violence only ever happens by accident—a glitch, an operational error, never a conscious choice. Israeli sources get believed automatically. Palestinians get treated as suspects who have to prove their own innocence, even after they've been murdered. Germany, burdened by its own unresolved history and national guilt over World War II, continues to let Palestinians pay the price for German sins—rationalizing Israeli crimes under the guise of journalistic objectivity and "institutional morality."

If you want to talk about AI, stop asking whether the system made a mistake. Ask how completely you have to dehumanize a population before you hand an algorithm the power to decide who lives and who dies.

My brother was not a glitch in a target room. He was a chef. He was a lifeline for people who had nothing left. He was murdered by a decision made with full intent, and I am done letting anyone dress that decision up as a software bug.

Aber aber, man stelle sich vor wie schlimm es ohne den prinzipiellen Gedanken und fünf Feigenblätter und Tatort sein könnte! (Hätte nie gedacht dass ich mal derart zynisch gegenüber dem ÖRR denke aber hätte auch nicht gedacht dass wir 2026 eine Art gebührenfinanziertes Fox News haben)

Man kann nicht jeden Shit der im ÖRR stattfindet damit entschuldigen, dass man das Konzept des ÖRR prinzipiell gut findet. Das sind zwei völlig verschiedene Angelegenheiten.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

THE CLANS HEIR IS A TRANS WOMAN (2013) is like Steven Seagal decided to Write/Direct/Star in a love letter to his trans friends, but it looks and feels like every action movie he's made... except Hitoshi Ozawa is way way way way cooler than Seagal.

Wisst ihr noch wie Wolfram Weimer im Frühjahr drei Buchhandlungen von einem Preis ausschloss? Er begründete das damals damit, dass "unsere Fachbeamten, die sich in der Buchhandlungsszene sehr gut auskennen, ... in drei Fällen grundsätzliche Zweifel an der Preiswürdigkeit" hatten. Well, war gelogen.

I've switched from Cai to Leda after a while and while I think it's good I started with Cai, I’m having more fun with Leda and associated characters. Seems to be a path that’s just faster because you immediately get more characters. I also chose Leda because she seems to be the one reviewers-
