Auschwitz and Lichtenwörth were the concentration camps my grandmothers were in. In a generation or so will these towns be mentioned by someone's grandchildren carrying the same intergenerational trauma?
In the last month ICE has bought warehouses in:

- Hagerstown, MD: $102 million
- Surprise, AZ: $70 million
- Hamburg, PA: $87 million
- Tremont, PA: $120 million
- San Antonio, TX: $82 million
- El Paso, TX: $123 million
- Social Circle, GA: price unknown

This is unprecedented.

Except it's not making you more productive, you fucking morons.

All the research says this.

And your precious feelings, your perceptions, the love you show for your moltbots, do not matter in the least...you fucking morons.

Did I mention you're a bunch of fucking morons?

“Triple-tap” here means the IDF bombed the journalists at the hospital and then bombed emergency responders not once but TWICE:
There is simply no moral argument for allowing war criminals to compete at the Olympics.

🚨 This evening, a notice was circulated from representatives of Peter Mandelson, via press regulator IPSO and the Press Association news wire, to all media across the UK

We believe it is strongly in the public interest to publish this memo. This is it in full 👇

You’re not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

The more that comes out, the more it feels like Epstein was low-key running half the planet to a bizarrely granular degree, until he died, at which point the desperate need to hide that fact kept on running it.

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.
Epstein had many known connections to Silicon Valley CEOs, but less known was how he made money from those relationships.

We did a deep dive into how he got dealflow in Silicon Valley, giving him shots to invest in Coinbase, Palantir, SpaceX and other companies.

The comms rep just had no ability to comprehend that AI takes in the information that already exists in the world and repackages it. Our reporting had yet to be published and therefore wasn't out in the world hadn't been ingested by any chatbot.

And they just... believed the chatbot.

I expected the cuts would be bad but I'm honestly stunned and sickened seeing how many great journalists the Washington Post just lost. People who nailed huge investigations, documented war zones, exposed horrific crimes, dropped all at once for failures they did not cause.

The obsession with genetics only ever applies to trans people. It's just thinly veiled hate.

If it weren't they would advocate to ban the 13yo 6'7" 325lb footballer guy. Or you think he got this big because he ate his veggies?

ABOLISH LEGAL GENDER ENTIRELY

We can still have social gender but legal gender only serves to enable discrimination and should be done away with like we did away with legal race for the same reason.
NO GENDER MARKERS ON GOVERNMENT ID, NOW
An extreme Kansas bill will invalidate the drivers license of every trans person in the state. It was passed alongside a particularly extreme bathroom bill, meaning that the implications of every trans Kansan losing legal ID overnight has largely been missed.

Aside from destruction of the planet and copyright theft, the third most annoying thing for me about LLM's is that they've poisoned the well for genuine discussion on genuinely useful machine intelligence, machine learning, non-LLM AI, etc.

DARPA killed CMU's contract in 1974, same year as the Lighthill report soured the UK government on AI research.

And a decade later, LISP machines were the breathlessly hyped overinvested tech that never bore fruit.
