Genuine question: what's the actual business model for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google in LLMs? You can download most models for free and run them yourself. Investors are putting in billions. Into what, exactly? Ease of use? That has a very short horizon.

I Vejle må kolonihusejere tage drastiske midler i brug for at få lovliggjort deres kolonihavehuse. I Ikast har en rigmand overtrådt naturbeskyttelsesloven som efterfølgende bliver dispenseret for. Lighed for loven? #dkpol #dkmedier www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

this thread is absolutely wild. a god awful trip down memory lane. US politics

Check out the figure in this (IHME data)

“The incident at Leipzig wasn’t foiled by security services, the explosives didn't detonate,” he said. “NATO needs to have a comprehensive response now, because the Kremlin has the measure of us.” “By doing nothing, we are chipping away at the deterrence value of NATO.”+

As I keep pointing out, does no one understand Ricardian comparative advantage anymore. FACT: China produces over 1 million engineering graduates per year FACT: To date, China has not produced a single internationally marketable game show format Where does it look like our advantage lies?

It's quite a high bar and must dramatically narrow the range of competent economists if you can't have criticized Trump's economic policies.

From the reporting on Netanyahu ignoring explicit warnings of a Hamas attack days before Oct 7th, to confirmation that Netanyahu rejected a Hamas offer to release civilian hostages right after Oct 7th, without conditions, this Haaretz piece is astonishing: archive.ph/Z4lXx

Oh my gosh, the best political video on YouTube just got updated after a decade and a half and it's still just perfect! It visualizes something that I've talked about a lot since the first video came out: The real problem is the billionaire class. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gxl...

The rapper chanted "Free Palestine" and performed “Hind's Hall,” his pro-Palestine anthem, while opening for Ed Sheeran at MetLife Stadium.

Russia basically has two futures. Accept that they are a middle-ranking nation and work in concord with a Europe that will respect them as equals, or don't do that and continue to engage with China who will pay lip-service to their Imperial affections whilst really treating them as their suzerain.

In no way unique to France. One feature of modern politics is that we are treating global trends as distinct national happenings. Larger countries do seem to be particularly susceptible to magic money tree myths though. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The Logical End Point of AI Job Interviews Is Two Bots Talking to Each Other www.wired.com/story/bot-vs...

The Lake Ontario/Lake America thing is a profoundly stupid version of it, but in millions of other subtler ways, we are force fed American values and American ideas about the world, because American companies like Google control the internet.

Shocking.

When you know the ritual, but not the reason.

This is one of the best observed jokes about the era we live in I’ve ever seen.

I do not understand why Palestinians in Gaza being enslaved to replace bomb sniffing dogs has not been a bigger part of the public understanding of the conflict. This has been very well covered in the western press!

News: Holland withdraws from Eurovision 2027. Cites continuing Israeli war on Palestinians and Lebanon. Says Eurovision cannot be considered neutral. www.euronews.com/culture/2026...

This is well put and tragically true

Gonna briefly do an AI take: it used to be possible to have interesting discussions about AI here, and it's got progressively less so. You can't just think AI is bad, or overhyped, you've also got to subscribe to a very particular worst-case scenario about *how* it's bad and how bad it is.

There is a broad and durable political coalition in Canada to stand up to Trump. The political coalition for hammering Canada with tariffs in the US is basically confined to a few Twitter posters.

🗞️As a former Managing Editor of Stars and Stripes I can tell you it is the most important newspaper in the world because it exists to inform and protect our troops from people like the despicable Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump who do not believe they — or anybody for that matter — are owed the truth.

The #EU needs tech sovereignty right yesterday. US abuse of power is not just a hypothetical anymore. Hope @microsoft.com gets kicked out quickly if this is true. @politico.eu @ec.europa.eu @dmjx.bsky.social

Good example of the dynamic on here, which is not that the site has "pro-AI" and "anti-AI" factions, but that even acknowledging the existence of a massive field of ubiquitous new technologies is verboten except via hysterical, belligerent ignorance. It's a pure cultural norm untethered to reality.

Today, I'm writing an article, but I like to dictate my words instead of typing them on the keyboard. With a bit of AI processing, it actually gets 99.9% of the words correct because it understands what I'm trying to say, and the punctuation is perfect. Nice!

AI is a tool that can be used for good or for slop. It has real potential, but humans are lazy and flawed. But some researchers are actually working to leverage it in a helpful way, and learning how to best use its strengths.

I don't think everyone needs to use AI. I don't think it's good that AI is being shoved everywhere when it's not wanted or asked for. But I don't find the complete hatred of all AI tools productive or helpful to building a better internet. And others appear to be feeling the same thing.

I'm not saying it's anyone's responsibility to praise AI usage. I agree with much of the criticism of the tool. But for many, many people, it is a useful tech (I have talked about the ways I find it extraordinarily useful, only to have people here mock me, insisting my lived experience is a lie).

I unfortunately agree with the Iranian leaders that the US is fundamentally dysfunctional and incompetent, not able to make or adhere to any deal.

A government actively (and not just passively) against science and scientists is producing predictable results in the US. jobs.physicstoday.org/article/phys...

The exponentially increasing solar energy beats other sources, and makes a mockery of predictions year on year. This is new industry that China is unfortunately capturing, especially aided by a sick US president that wants to line the pockets of coal Barons. Carbon Capture is a joke.

“It’s good to remember there are other worlds, places where it’s well understood a country’s embrace of extremism, fascism, cruelty & lawlessness represent the failure to govern, a rejection of equality & a denial of human dignity.” Reporting from Finland. www.americaamerica.news/p/sanity-mad...

Who appointed him? Who empowered him? Who encourages him? Who condones both his incendiary statements and actions? One man

these people are just children idk how else to describe it. it’s just so fucking foreign to me that a grown ass man can think like this

What a great night at the Iowa Wing Ding! Folks here are ready to shock the nation in November by sending Josh Turek to the Senate and sending a message that our country is done with corporate sell outs and corrupt politicians.

The White House decided there was a threat so great that Donald Trump was secretly moved to another plane but they never told the passengers on Air Force One. Cowards look out for themselves. Leaders look out for their people.

Co-signed, Roblox is blocked at the router here. "But $friend plays it!" Yeah different parents different rules.

Part of the issue here is that every trust and safety person i know is like “talk to your kids! Banning things doesnt work!” And I say “except roblox” And the trust sna safety person says, “That is banned at the router. We do not speak its name.” Roblox is bonkers dangetous.

As a general rule, I believe if you are able it is better and less wasteful to avoid precut produce at the grocery store. Except for butternut squash. Fuck that. Buy the precut butternut squash.

Apart from all the climate related awfulness in store, one thing I was not considering "... the hulls of ships are accumulating a vast array of microbes, a report is warning that once these ships begin to move they risk bringing a catastrophic spread of invasive species." @diplomatofnight.com

Third Way has gone full reactionary. Maybe it should spend those millions listening to what voters want instead of trying to re-educate voters on the evils of affordability and those who campaign on making their lives better. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/u...

Could another global power or set of powers step in here to do something? Sure. Will they? Pretty obviously no. Do you see a constituency in the EU to build a large navy to defend global shipping? I don't. And the PRC *really* does not give a s*** if other people live or die.
