Following setbacks in Minneapolis, ICE has changed strategies. Now they are trying to inflict as much suffering as possible without attracting attention. They are escalating right now. We need strategies to confront and impede them—the way people did at Delaney Hall. crimethinc.com/DelaneyStrat...

NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests. The WH has wanted more arrests. The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

STRONG EARTHQUAKE AGAIN. we just woke up in the park we are staying at. It felt like a strong shake at base level, I dread to think what it would have felt like on higher floors. It was much quicker this time, but still. I hope no more buildings have collapsed. God damnit man

I've started to reframe "AI tools" as "services that compromise your professional confidence and experience, and sell it back to you for $1000/month". https://tldr.nettime.org/@remixtures/116782299343169779

"A study of physicians in Poland who specialize in endoscopy — the use of flexible probes to examine the inside of the human body — shows how quickly AI tools can erode human abilities. The physicians, who had all performed at least 2,000 colonoscopies during their careers, were given access to an AI system that analyses colonoscopy images in real time and flags a type of precancerous intestinal lesion called an adenoma. The tool was available to the specialists on some days but not on others. Once physicians began using it, their performance dropped significantly whenever the system was unavailable. During the three-month period before the AI tool was introduced, the specialists found at least one adenoma during 28.4% of colonoscopies. During the three-month period after the tool was introduced, the adenoma detection rate for colonoscopies performed without AI assistance decreased to 22.4%. Gastroenterology and Hepatology, suggest that even highly skilled professionals might get worse at tasks that their job requires as they become more dependent on AI tools, says Robert Wachter, a physician at the University of California, San Francisco, who is the author of a book on how AI tools are transforming health care. The study authors say that continuous exposure to such tools can cause clinicians to become “less motivated, less focused, and less responsible when making cognitive decisions without AI assistance”. Co-author Yuichi Mori, a physician-researcher at the University of Oslo, says that more studies are needed to confirm the phenomenon. But people who use AI tools should be aware that they risk losing some of their skills, he adds. “There is no established solution against deskilling right now. It should be a very hot research topic in the next decade.”" https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01947-1 #AI #Deskilling #Science #Medicine

PSA for #AsahiLinux users: Do NOT upgrade to macOS 27 Golden Gate! Apple has changed how the boot picker and Startup Disk applications detect valid OS boot volumes. When using either from macOS 27, your Asahi partition will not be visible! We believe this to be a bug, and have filed a report.
