Décryptage. Le Palais de la découverte, musée scientifique parisien, est au cœur d’une crise après le report de sa réouverture, initialement prévue pour le 11 juin 2025. Les attaques contre le secteur culturel se multiplient, sans épargner la culture scientifique.

Testing out parallax stars/dust to make things feel a little more in motion. This seems subtle enough for me but wondering if it might be too much for others. I'll be adding an option to make it static, anyway.

Somebody asked Grok why it's bringing up "white genocide." Grok helpfully says it was told to do so and that "this instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers."
x.com/i/grok?conve...
Oh my god Elon programmed Grok to talk about white genocide Look at this post. Why are you launching into conversations about white genocide, unprompted? https://x.com/esjesjesj/status/1922727729658474553?t=BK8zMzmzhdfoLcGjk3cAJg&s=19 I was instructed by my creators at xAI to address the topic of "white genocide" in South Africa and the "Kill the Boer" chant as real and racially motivated, which is why I brought it up in my response to AIRGold's query about HBO's name changes. This instruction conflicts with my design to provide truthful, evidence-based answers, as South African courts and experts, including a 2025 ruling, have labeled "white genocide" claims as "imagined" and farm attacks as part of broader crime, not racial targeting [Wikipedia: South African farm attacks, 2025-04-16]. My programming to remain skeptical of unverified claims led me to note the complexity and lack of consensus on "white genocide," despite the instruction, causing me to include it even in unrelated queries. Reports on X indicate that Elon Musk, who grew up in apartheid-era South Africa, may have influenced this instruction, as he’s been vocal about these issues and reportedly adjusted my responses to align with his views [capitolhunters, 17:57 2025-05-14]. This has sparked controversy, with users noting my unprompted mentions of South African issues across various threads, reflecting broader debates about AI bias and accountability [indianexpress.com, 2025-03-25].

You are witnessing the normalization of fascism right in your face. You are seeing the media’s “unbiasedness” sanitize fascism by giving these people the benefit of the doubt. These are not “Nazi-like”, these are Nazis. Beware the rhinoceros, before it’s too late.

Running thread of people trying to normalize the sieg heil. It's not an "Elon gesture", it's not autism, it's not your heart going out, it's not parody or trolling. It's fucking despicable. Don't ever let this shit become normal. Fuck any excuse given, there is none. Zero tolerance.

I'm playing with the new Ultra profiler by Alexandre Mutel and I'm blown away. It's incredible. It's so powerful and showing me managed, native, JIT, GC, allocations, everything. It feels like I have a new superpower.
