Not only no culture, but no *commons*. The dependency on the capitalist overlords will be complete, because you can’t ask for help or context from others when there is no common frame of reference. This has already happened in coding, the first space where they destroyed the commons we’d all built.

this is the ultimate end point of capitalism, ai will completely atomize everyone and there will be zero shared experiences. there will be no culture, only pure consumption. this must be resisted

WTF. Vrrtaling : de NOS/NTR moet objectief zijn dus gemarginaliseerde groepen aandacht geven past niet meer. Witte suprematie in optima forma.

Levi@levi98k.eurosky.social · 7h ago

Cultuur wordt geschrapt als kerntaak van de NTR na samenvoeging met de NOS omdat de regering vindt dat het aanbod "uitdrukking geeft aan gemarginaliseerde gemeenschappen die aantoonbaar ondervertegenwoordigd zijn" en dat de onafhankelijkheid van de NOS als nieuwsvoorziening zou aantasten. 🤡

Meldingen van gestolen regenboogvlaggen in Oldebroek, ook vlag bij Kruiskerk verdwenen

We don't have to do this. Media coverage could focus on Navi Pillay and why she was awarded the prize, and not his emotions.

Het Nederlands Dagblad (nota bene) begrijpt het wél: De regenboogvlag is geen polariserend symbool, maar juist een symbool van liefde waarmee we laten zien dat we artikel 1 van de grondwet hebben geïnternaliseerd

A recent 🧵by @elisewang.bsky.social explains the difficulty of finding executioners in medieval Europe. It’s an excellent 🧵. I find a similar thing in my research: even those tasked with executing people didn't want to stick around to watch them die. They left if they could. bsky.app/profile/elis...

Elise Wang@elisewang.bsky.social · 3d ago

A return to firing squad everywhere might finally end the death penalty. Why? Because people have to be directly involved in executions (not pressing a button) it’s terrifically difficult to get them to do it. Medieval executions had the same problem!

republicans used to complain about the violence in gangster rap and now they want to livestream an execution

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

Trump: "I think you heard about the oil deal with Russia. That is a big deal. That is massive amounts of oil coming into our country, and I want to thank President Putin to be honest with you."

Anthropic is out with new nonsense about Claude (or the collection of models called Claude) deserving moral consideration and/or be able to feel distress, so my inbox is filling up with journos asking me to comment. I've also got a day job, so here is a brief set of public comments on this: >>

"Just because AI is intelligent..." Let me stop you right there.

The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d ago

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “There are many technologies that, when you look at physical strength, are superhuman. That doesn’t mean we put them in charge. And we can apply that same approach to A.I.,” Arvind Narayanan argues on “The Ezra Klein Show.”

The only profitable uses for “AI” are fraud, disinfo, and surveillance.

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 2d ago

All bots are cops.

A key part of the cognitive omnishambles in which we find ourselves is that everything now has a shitty AI generated summary that purports to tell you what's inside, but that no one ever checks for accuracy.

Notable that Anthropic is more interested in protecting Claude from humans than humans from Claude.

Hard to overstate how much Hegseth's execution stream mirrors the U.S. military's traditional description of ISIS propaganda: broadcast killings designed to send a message, strike fear and create a social media spectacle. Will almost certainly be repurposed by online terror cells

Ik vraag me af hoe lang de Nederlandse regering, wil zij zichzelf nog ‘n beetje serieus nemen, Trump als bevriend staatshoofd en bondgenoot kan blijven zien. De man startte een oorlog, heeft Oekraïne verraden, ontvoerde een Zuid-Amerikaans staatshoofd, claimt Cuba en Groenland. Wil Canada inlijven.

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Thanks be to God that we no longer have to live under the tyrannical yoke of the woke radical left language police.

He makes a good point.

this execution by firing squad is brought to you by crypto dot com

“If you don’t like public executions just don’t watch it” says the crowd trying to ban drag shows and books

"Civility" is just another word for "capitulation" dressed up as virtue.

The proposition of sentience or intelligence is part of the AI Industry’s agnotology gambit. Just as Big Tobacco funded red herring research to flood public discourse with doubt, so this industry poses inane talking points as existential questions and even funds research into them.

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 2d ago

I can’t stress enough that this notion of if and when It will gain consciousness is Bible fanfic. It’s not real.

De nazi's sloten de mensen die onder de regenboogvlag om erkenning en inclusiviteit vragen op in kampen en lieten ze creperen. Nog steeds komen de standpunten van de SGP meer overeen met die van de nazi's dan met die van menselijke partijen.

Ines Kostić #teamplanet 🌍@ineskostic.bsky.social · 3d ago

🏳️‍🌈Op verzoek van ambtenaren zou zondag (Coming Out Dag) de regenboogvlag worden gehesen. Maar SGP gunt dat queer mensen niet eens. We hebben te lang moeten strijden om zichtbaar te mogen zijn. Ik pik het niet dat we terug in de schaduw worden geduwd. PRO dient mede namens PvdD motie in

What actually happens in this kind of situation is that mom curses under her breath and takes over, because she knows that reading to a child is about the *experience* of parental engagement, not the mechanics of hearing a voice. He feels clever and smug because he’s unloaded the task either way.

this is so fucking sad

Overigens kan het natuurlijk ook niet als gezonde, volwassen mannen en vrouwen buiten slapen.

Lisa Westerveld 🌱@lisawesterveld.bsky.social · 5d ago

We zakken nog dieper dan de ondergrens als het kabinet niet snel ingrijpt en bijvoorbeeld Rijksvastgoed inzet voor opvang. Kinderen en zieke mensen buiten laten slapen kan echt niet. Zeker met de winter voor de deur. De minister moet verantwoordelijkheid nemen. www.rtvnoord.nl/politiek/144...

I believe preprints and papers that use AI slop in any form or shape should have this disclaimer on top 🧪
