As nations tend to run in reverse on their way down, I'd assume one of the next changes will be the government relaxing schooling measures to allow people to join the (dwindling) work force sooner.

Every editor who canceled a story about Palestine brought us here. Every boss who censored an employee. Everyone who said “not this way” to protesters. Every university admin calling the cops. Bloody. All your hands are bloody, and we will never forget.

A whistleblower says that the IDF soldiers buried and burned approximately 1,000 truckloads of humanitarian aid, preventing it from reaching hungry Palestinians in Gaza.

They keep hinting at emptying Gaza of its inhabitants. And you think: surely, such ‘final solution’-kind-of-project is unthinkable. But then you have to face the fact that Gaza is where the US-Israeli dominated Western colonial assemblage has made the unthinkable thinkable and

LLMs are not going to give us the kind of AGI that’s been foretold

Sorry I'm late, I had to alternate between two forms of the same sentence for several hours

How do I opt out of AI-selling commercials? They are every commercial on many streaming platforms. Just saw one for Grammarly focusing on how it’s an indispensable tool for an adjunct professor.

Deregulation in the name of "disruption" is the poison killing our societies. Deregulation of taxis, accommodation, education, now intellectual property. Make no mistake, genAI is an effort to dismantle copyright law so corporations can even steal the expression of ideas
