so, did I miss much?

It's been a bit over a month at St Vincents' Hospital for fairly major head surgery, and then some rehab time at Sacred Heart - I've been discharged and am home again. Lots of outpatient stuff and a whole lot of medication still to come, of course.

If you're reporting on the deepfake porn site because of Grok, please make clear in the headline that governments not acting are allowing the scaled abuse of women and children online.

Don't say Grok is doing that harm. Grok isn't doing anything. It's human men who are doing these things.

BREAKING: X’s chatbot Grok isn’t just making AI porn deepfakes, it’s now making Nazi AI porn deepfakes, undressing women and showing them wearing “swastika bikinis”. Many of these women are Jewish, including a recently deceased Holocaust survivor.

I guess Australian media/politics is just gonna pretend the grok stuff isn't happening huh. I guess actually reporting on it might invite awkward questions like "why the fuck are you pathetic engagement junkies still there"

I don't think Australian media has started trying to promote this guy as an intellectual yet (Sky News might have) but it's probably only a matter of time.
Curtis Yarvin has written a very long screed in defense of his post in which he said, “Hitler spoke the truth.”

A sampling of select portions is below and includes, in reference to Jewish people, the words:

“The only way to tell is the name and the nose.”

Another example of the fact that there are very few technically difficult questions of economics; "difficult questions" are just difficult because you don't like the obvious answer
I'm afraid there *is* an obvious answer: it can't.

Trump's conducting illegal kill campaigns and military raids and 7 of the 47 Senators in opposition just voted to confirm a Trump nominee to the Pentagon. We can dream of what it will take to change the party eagerly cheering the killing, but a good first step would be opposition from the opposition

"María Corina Machado, the exiled Venezuelan opposition leader, used an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show on Monday to assure Donald Trump that she would like to share the Nobel peace prize she won last year with him."

With all that's going on in the world, the Australian media continue their tantrum demanding a royal commission. It's now reached the point of validating their own pride. How dare the govt not listen to them? Don't they know who they are? Some of these people have won awards!

It rules so hard that this interview got big enough for the NYT to try to do firefighting and that Trans News Network said fuck off we don't owe you column space.
We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times.

Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

Describing facts is discouraged
BBC journalists have been banned from describing the kidnapped Venezuelan leader as having been kidnapped.

The BBC News Editor has sent this to BBC journalists.

So a lot of people are (quite rightly) laughing their asses off at this, but there's a legitimate lesson to be drawn here.

LLMs calculate the statistically most likely response to any input.

Think about the implications of that for a minute. That has to freak the alpha male crowd tf out.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I turned on CNN and the reporter was talking about the kidnapping of Maduro as “a daring operation.” He quoted Sen. Mike Lee saying positive things about Maduro’s “capturing.”
