Meta tells investors its AI is a tremendous success. It tells the IRS its data centers are an experiment that could fail. Why? Only experiments qualify for this tax break. Meta is exploiting it, labeling its proven chips "research" to get a $4B tax break.

If only there was video for Dan Bishop accusing me (during a Homeland Security interrogation) of being some kind of spy due to the gap in my resume (1997-2007). Bishop: “Where were you during that time period?” Me: Looks around the room very confused. “Uh.. playing professional basketball?”

The current huge story about the gang rape at Cornell University, a crime originally brushed off and covered up by the administration, is SOLELY the product of the student paper, the Cornell Daily Sun, which doggedly pursued the story. Not the NYT or CNN. An independent student paper. #Cornell

One thing is very reliable, you don’t get released on bail for explosives / terrorism charges…you get held for the full 14 days and then get fucked to the full extent of the law. However if you’re a pillock doing crime in the wrong place and cop to it when you get lifted you do.

The thing about saying that genAI will enable the marginalized to create art is that not only is it not true, literally just fucking look at art and music and writing, but it is saying that a handful of rich pedophiles should be allowed to control whether marginalized people can produce art.

This is a photograph of the edge of one of Saturn's rings, looking down from above. Those spiky dark shapes are shadows. Shadows of giant towers of ice and dust grains clumped together that rise up to three *kilometres* above the 10-m thick rings.

A series of bands cross the image from left to right, brighter at the bottom and darkening towards the top. A band of empty space is at the top of the image. About a quarter down from the top is a complex pattern of jagged, spiky shadows cast onto the rings. The icy towers casting the shadows are seen here at a highly oblique angle.

After decades of awareness raising, people have generally come to accept that someone they are close to has been raped. They remain largely unwilling to consider the fact that they have likely been and may still be friends with a rapist. We are a nation of rape without rapists.

Exceptional solidarity from ASU hockey players who have demanded their coach be placed on leave for essentially overseeing the murder of their teammate and have disputed the university’s findings. www.nytimes.com/athletic/764...

Seven Arizona State men’s hockey players asked the university’s president to place the Sun Devils’ coaching staff on administrative leave pending further investigation into the workout that left sophomore transfer Matthew Mayich on life support.

In a 26-page letter sent to ASU president Michael Crow on Monday and obtained by The Athletic, the players disputed numerous findings from the university’s initial review of the Aug. 20 workout, writing that Mayich did not receive water and was provided inadequate medical care after his collapse.

This is why more women don't come forward, and why more rapists aren't jailed. Because mostly-male cops and prosecutors find it more believable that a 20-yr-old would want to have sex with a room full of fraternity brothers than accept she was raped. What ever happened to common fucking sense?
