This account is an op

Besides being nakedly racist and bigoted, this is just hilariously wrong on all levels. I mean, Omar Yaghi won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry last year, and he won the Wolf Prize in 2018. And that's just one example.

When West joined Jimmy Dore's "party" it was pretty clear something wasn't right.

Also worth mentioning that AI played no role in finding the vulnerability

A recap of the PHP vulnerability psyop: 1. Coders work on PHP patch for 2 years. 2. Coordinated release scheduled 3. Patch is "accidentally" leaked by AI company 4. Cybersec firm sends out B.S. alert that AI is 15 min away from exploit (impossible) 5. AI shills amplify message and call for AI fix.

This is coming up again. School vouchers cost George H.W. Bush re-election, and the tidy business (Project Edison) his Sec. of Education and cronies had lined up to profit from them, fell apart when he lost. Looks like they didn't get the message.

Here's to all the crypto bros and degenerate gamblers who lost their shirts today

As predicted, Flávio Bolsonaro did not concede. He’ll ask for the elections to be annulled due to extended polling times. The far-right’s anti-democratic processes have begun. A joke by a sore loser, especially given that his own party also asked for polls to be kept open for an extra two hours.

Hey, remember the zero marginal cost economy hype? Good times.

The only time I've ever been inside a Cheesecake Factory was to wash my hands in the restroom before heading to the food court for the Teriyaki chicken combo.

AI is an extraction industry, exhibit 1446

Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

AI is an extraction industry no different than Big Oil. Except AI isn't waiting millions of years for organic matter to become fossil fuels. It is mining humanity in-vivo, siphoning away our collective knowledge, cultural edifices and social relationships.

Great opportunity for true indie productions.

Numbers don't mean shit on the Internet. Between bots, paid followers, and inflating user engagement stats by the platforms themselves, nothing is real.

Marco Rubio was an errand boy for his drug dealing brother-in-law, whose narcotics smuggling ring was part of a covert intel op to destabilize Latin American countries: rdmpress.com/dispatches/a...

Nothing. Nothing is better. Stop trying to change the conversation.

People will say this is because Putin has something on Trump instead of waking tf up and realizing that fascists are fascists.

Mamdani bought out three theaters to show the new documentary Once Upon a Time in Harlem for free this weekend. You know what, I’m sick of yall and your fancy mayor. Sick.

As part of Europe's first secular empire, Dutch masters broke from the religious themes that had long dominated art, to paint the everyday, while also encoding the patriarchal messaging of their new society. Always depicting women in domestic settings, in the shadows, facing away or behind a window.

José Clemente Orozco warned us

Like, is the biggest threat to cybersecurity the mere existence of LLMs, or is it the existence of companies like OpenAI with basically unlimited resources and an incentive to create large security incidents essentially as a marketing stunt?

A moment of silence for Brad's genocidal grief.

Ah yes, Democrats preparing to do nothing as always.

Imagine thinking that you earned that money. That somehow your value to society is equal to feeding 32.5 million children breakfast every day. Kapitalism is wild.
