People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

AI is useful for tons of bad stuff though. Generating bombing targets? Check. Automating managerial oversight? Check. Political surveillance? Check. Suppressing wages? Check.
None of these depend on the model working well, just well enough to be well above chance. Which they are.

Every time people say we don't need human translators, I point out that a human wouldn't mess up the different between "forgive me father, I have sinned" and "sorry daddy, I've been naughty".

Nederland zakt weer een paar plaatsen op de democratie-ranglijst; burgemeester van Katwijk weigert demonstranten tegen Wilders' eigentijdse versie van de SA te beschermen.

It’s also because bloated American SUVs/pickups often flunk European safety rules that protect pedestrians.
This is completely wrong. I've lived in Europe. They don't want our cars because:
1. Too big for roads and parking spaces
2. Too fuel inefficient in countries where gas is $6/gallon
3. Considered low quality for the cost

you have to repost shit like this, because just talking about it makes you sound like an insane conspiracy theorist parroting lies they read on facebook. Like if I told someone this happened, they'd roll their eyes like I was a freak and it'd damage any credibility I had left. you know?

Israeli soldiers held a “gender reveal party” by blowing up residential buildings in Gaza and using the explosion’s color to reveal the gender of a newborn Israeli baby.

It's not difficult to see that the collapse of the basic rule of law in the United States is inextricably linked to the bipartisan consensus on the legitimacy of Israeli genocide.
Palestinian Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a leader of the campus anti-genocide movement, was detained for deportation by ICE... when he arrived at a USCIS office for a citizenship test.
He is a green card holder.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
