I’m so old I can remember when armies didn’t bomb hospitals. Then Israel changed (threw away) the rules.
What an odious country.

The US is now openly committing grave war crimes in Iran. Nobody in power I n the West seems to care.

@rhelune@todon.eu It is indeed an eye-opening book. Given that Facebook are now trying to sue its author simply for sitting on stage in silence at a book fair, I'm happy to promote it. Meta are a bunch of greedy louts.

Big AI is essentially trying to get people hooked with their equivalent of the drug-dealer’s “the first hit is free.” Will they plan for the cost to rise between ten and a hundredfold? 2. The impact on human capability. It has now been demonstrated in several areas that use of an “AI” tool in intellectual task performance triggers a decline in individual abilities (which I’d assume will get worse over time).

Smart glasses are for dumb people.

An excellent piece from Vogue about Meta's continuing attempt to make their "smart glasses" fashionable and cool that makes all of the right points about the ways in which normalizing ubiquitous surveillance creates a world we don't want to live in.

If the IRGC is a terrorist organisation then there's no way Israel isn't. But the long-term hypocrisy of UK governments mean we continue to pretend it's a civilised nation. Disgusting.

@rbreich and yet he's still a fucking cheapskate who sits on a pile of money that does absolutely bugger all except imply he believes he has a smaller dick than the other billionaires.
FFS, if you have enough money to cure world poverty, consider actually, like, DOING THAT. Or at least explain why you think it's a bad idea.
The AI money-go-round is a huge bubble. Can anyone say where the money would come from?
