BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.
Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.

Once again, Musk claims that George Soros controls the government. A classic antisemitic trope, as well as hilariously ironic considering his buying his way into the government.

These are, to put it mildly, absolutely insane numbers to charge developers for GPT 4.5, a model with no real featureset difference I can see other than Sam Altman saying it's "more conversational" where Sam is already saying it won't benchmark well! WASHED!
GPT-4.5 Largest GPT model designed for creative tasks and agentic planning, currently available in a research preview. | 128k context length Price Input: $75.00 / 1M tokens Cached input: $37.50 / 1M tokens Output: $150.00 / 1M tokens GPT-4.5 is ready! good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an Al. bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.) this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages. a heads up: this isn't a reasoning model and won't crush benchmarks. it's a different kind of intelligence and there's a magic to it i haven't felt before. really excited for people to try it!

Time to tap the sign: At present, there's no known way to stop generative AI from producing output that is false, wrong, mistaken, untrue, erroneous, incorrect, "hallucinatory," etc etc. You can't fix this by pointing to any particular source material. Bummer, I know. But that's the truth.

Over half the answers AI gave couldn’t be trusted.

Not even after the AI was given access to the BBC’s website and prompted to use BBC News articles and sources.

The BBC tested:
- OpenAI’s ChatGPT
- Microsoft’s Copilot
- Google’s Gemini
- Perplexity

New BBC research:

51% of all AI answers to questions about the news were judged to have significant issues of some form

19% of AI answers which cited BBC content introduced factual errors – incorrect factual statements, numbers and dates

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

With Google removing their Responsible AI Principles, they no longer state that they will *not* engage in "Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights".
Concerns about surveillance and injury are also erased.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...
