BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Antisemitism is structurally necessary to Elon Musk's politics, because his identity is rooted in being an underdog fighting against the real power, but as the world's wealthiest person, who is deeply politically connected, he needs a definition of elite not rooted in wealth or corporate ownership.
Once again, Musk claims that George Soros controls the government. A classic antisemitic trope, as well as hilariously ironic considering his buying his way into the government.

"The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

These are, to put it mildly, absolutely insane numbers to charge developers for GPT 4.5, a model with no real featureset difference I can see other than Sam Altman saying it's "more conversational" where Sam is already saying it won't benchmark well! WASHED!

Time to tap the sign: At present, there's no known way to stop generative AI from producing output that is false, wrong, mistaken, untrue, erroneous, incorrect, "hallucinatory," etc etc. You can't fix this by pointing to any particular source material. Bummer, I know. But that's the truth.
Over half the answers AI gave couldn’t be trusted.

Not even after the AI was given access to the BBC’s website and prompted to use BBC News articles and sources.

The BBC tested:
- OpenAI’s ChatGPT
- Microsoft’s Copilot
- Google’s Gemini
- Perplexity
New BBC research:

51% of all AI answers to questions about the news were judged to have significant issues of some form

19% of AI answers which cited BBC content introduced factual errors – incorrect factual statements, numbers and dates
And more…

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

With Google removing their Responsible AI Principles, they no longer state that they will *not* engage in "Technologies whose purpose contravenes widely accepted principles of international law and human rights".
Concerns about surveillance and injury are also erased.
