ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.
ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.
Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

What was most chilling about this exchange was the sheer casualness of "because of our homeless population," as if those experiencing homelessness were *obviously* people to be kept out.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Machine translation is one of the most practical use cases for AI and it's a mature enough technology that it's been fairly reliable since before we were all calling applied statistics "AI" in the first place, & it still famously can't do books! Even without the ethical considerations that's stupid.
"Use AI for translations"
Hey, who was doing translations before? How did we train AI to do translations? Who was the author of the translations that were fed into AI?
Ah, I see, another "ethical" use.

as a (virtually) lifelong NYer here's the deal: all pizza is good. deep dish rules. detroit pizza is goated. lunch lady cafeteria pizza was a joy. the only dubious pizza culture is california because it tries too hard but even (most) california pizza is fantastic. grow up
again chicagoans need to grow a set and stand up for themselves. deep dish is the superior pizza, you don’t have to do this cowardly whimpering “oh actually we like thin crust that’s cut into squares for no damned reason” thing. this is why the rancid packers have been clowning you for 30 years

What about all of us who *don't* take that deal? No considerations for the psychic violence suffered by us at our jobs where we don't brutalize people? Never mind that these guys enjoy this shit. They're gleeful about it! At least make them cry a little before you forgive them for it all.
that choice was made in a system that provides few jobs that pay well with benefits, respect & opportunity to those who don't hale from society's "upper crust."
How many would choose to work at ICE or the military if they had better job opportunities that didn't require them to mete out torture?
