Nihilism has always been dead. In the darkest times, look deeply for something beautiful and it will appear, defying description, distilling the world into perfect meaning reborn. #nature #photography #animal #insect
This is an excellent book that the larger culture has still not sufficiently grappled with. These issues affect everyone on the planet, regardless of your relationship with technology.

Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold.
"We're from the United States bro!' he screamed.
Agents took and sold his phone
And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

Censorship can be enacted in real-time, but it can also be performed by the digital editing or omission of source materials before training. Any opacity of these elements is not trustworthy, and over time will make us blind to our own blindness.
I love the idea of a privacy-oriented LLM, but the use of China's DeepSeek as the underlying engine is an issue

Her vehicle's right front panel cleared the ICE agent who didn't open fire until after he was at the side of her vehicle. He used deadly force on a fleeing individual, which is against DHS policy. This is murder. He needs to be arrested.

"Secret police" is often misunderstood to mean a force that operates covertly, with all their operations secret.
But a secret police force's actions are often public. The secret part is hiding their identities, because they're breaking laws to hurt politically disfavored people, and fear reprisals.

I've now watched the censored 60 Minutes report on CECOT. If you watched it too—and if you have any decency at all—I'm sure you came to the same conclusion I did: winning elections won't be enough; people like Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem will need to be charged and imprisoned.
