Vale John Laws.

Back in 1993 there was no fucking around. Prime Minister Paul Keating went into the studio and told the listeners directly what was happening on the Mabo decision. PMs can't do that these days. #auspol

🚨 New preprint 🚨
Can AI agents coordinate influence campaigns without human guidance? And how does coordination arise among AI agents? In our latest research, we simulate LLM-powered AI agents acting like users on an online platform, some benign, some running an influence operation

They want to hammer the truth away from mind-independent correspondence to reality, towards an ideological version of truth that lacks any internally consistent norms or rules beyond the unblinking drive for more power and capital

"Elon Musk on Monday launched an early version of Grokipedia, an online encyclopedia written by AI that the billionaire has touted as a less biased alternative to the venerable online resource Wikipedia."

Sigh.
Elon Musk launches a Wikipedia rival that extols his own ‘vision’
The right-leaning tech magnate is touting his own online encyclopedia as an unbiased alternative to the world’s most widely cited online source.

Who the fuck is this dude who rolled in saying what women researchers have been saying for years? He came on my thread here once to tell me I was wrong about something — I wasn’t. I responded, he said nothing, and disappeared. @alexhanna.bsky.social @safiyanoble.bsky.social
Ed Zitron Gets Paid to Love AI. He Also Gets Paid to Hate AI
He’s one of the loudest voices of the AI haters—even as he does PR for AI companies. Either way, Ed Zitron has your attention.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

"My son - is he alive?"

A Russian KAB struck a residential building in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, leaving the family trapped under debris. Ukrainian Warriors from the Khyzhak and Azov Brigades pulled a woman from the rubble. Unfortunately, her son did not survive.

It’s so important that we maintain a clear compass during these times: this is an immoral, inhuman way to address complex security issues. It’s not normal and it should not be the new norm. Human life is precious and people deserve a fair trial and transparent, accountable processes. Not #JudgeDredd

Trump has now murdered 34 people in international waters.

No one has any idea if any were criminals, and of course it doesn't matter, because it was a war crime to kill even a single one of them.

Drug trafficking is a felony, but it's not a violent crime and isn't punishable by summary execution.
