making america great again by (checks notes) devastating american studies departments
Devastated to learn that Univ of Texas at Austin is closing the American Studies dept. The years I spent there earning my PhD were formative, making me the teacher, thinker, and writer I am today. I've passed on what I learned at UT to thousands of students over the past 20 years. Just awful.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.
A strange find from the Epstein files:
A hacker named Vincenzo Iozzo shares with Epstein a rumor that Peter Thiel was "bankrolling" the neo-Nazi white supremacist hacker troll known as "weev."
Conversation is about financial strategies and "currencies."

Agree. Also convinced this is a very much a capitalism/consumerism issue.
"But if I had money to buy gold leaf covered steak, I could be happy" type shit
We've been sold the idea that money, power and stuff makes you happy. And a lot of people believe it.
Ofc the real solution isn't $$ but 🤷🏾♀️

"I'm sad all the time and I don't know why" isn't a polling category and also doesn't sound serious, but "the economy is bad" does.

Did you see this loooorge bear contently floating?
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

When people talk about AI being a con, this is the con part. The companies are holding out the possibility of LLMs actually being intelligent or becoming intelligent any day now and using that to raise investment. LLMs are not going to be intelligent, as Marcus said. That’s a fiction, a swindle.
I wish more people understood how LLMs really work, even on a basic level. I think that would eliminate most of the problems we have with these things. But instead, because some of them convincingly sound human, people attribute them with having intelligence.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

The Department of Homeland Security pushed out the revamped tool while it was still adding data. That led to widespread misidentification, particularly for citizens born outside the U.S.
