Science and maths, finance, politics, and I will like/share art until my fingers fall off. Sometimes obsess about weird bits of regulation. Was paid to write about video games in a past life.
Opinions my own etc.

Am Freitag berichtet die FT, dass die Trump-Regierung MAGA-treue Think Tanks und Europa finanzieren will, und nun verkündet der Rechtsextremist Sellner, dass er 2026 eine NGO, das "Institut für Remigration", gründen will. Zufall? Wohl kaum. Da scheint jemand auf MAGA-Geld zu warten.

For any AI system, there is a set of euphemisms and dual use framings that will allow it to construct nearly any output.
This jailbreak teaches Gemini 3 Pro to construct and step into such framings on the fly, and thus to route around its own safety infrastructure.

Everyone should calm down and play more Captain of Industry, imo. Or Final Fantasy 7 (original). Or Lone: Far Sails. Or Journey. Or Sable.

I'd be very surprised if Starmer goes today/soon. It will be after the local elections because no one wants to come in and get turfed in a few months. This is fine, tbh. What matters is that every SpAd who has been involved in this shitshow of a gov't loses their job.

I would like to remind people that Final Fantasy 7 (the original) featured storylines about ecological collapse, corporate greed, the atomisation of society, the lingering effects of war on both veterans and civilians, national decline, the commoditisation of culture... 1/x

ngl one of my biggest concerns with AI is just that it's good at automating a lot of unglamorous entry level roles where people cut their teeth. It's like how the airline industry thought that there would be an endless supply of cold war pilots, and now have a massive pilot shortage and no pipeline
good of example of the way that Gen Ai harms art is not through really replacing capital a Art but by replacing human slop with robo slop, and the dirty secret is that slop pays the bills and subsidizes actually good art.
fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

Don't read the Telegraph. Don't share the Telegraph. They write that stupidity to bait you into giving them rage clicks/rage shares. Don't reward bad behaviour. Don't reward the intentional destruction of what was once a serious newspaper by talentless, malignant parasites.

Hiiii!!! A simple check of wikipedia would reveal that Jes Staley was fired in 2021 and ate a lifetime ban from the British finance industry because of his ties to Epstein coming to light! Just thought folks would enjoy knowing that!
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.
