A gentle reminder that unsourced news stories are usually bullshit, even when they play to your biases about the Nazis all being Russian bots.

I'm not sure about everybody else. But having an "AI Bot" that attempts to sound human - EVEN WHEN SELF-IDENTIFYING AS AN AI - is the absolute worst red flag you can put forward when attempting to recruit me or follow up with me about anything. Just don't have robots call me. Any other method […]

I've been wondering, what if we think about LLMs as a solution rather than a problem? like, there are problems with LLMs, but consumers are paying for them because they genuinely solve problems. Maybe it's better to focus on the problems they're solving? The kinds of problems I'm thinking about […]

This is a good reminder that if you buy a used CPU (or entire computer) one of the things you should be doing right away is wiping the TPM. For CPUs it's because of the rise of so-called firmware TPMs on board and it's usually always safe to do so, given you're essentially making a new build […]

I think I’ve finally pinpointed my extreme discomfort with the American branded aggression. In looking at the fear mongering around China, an interesting pattern emerges once you started looking into the facts. TLDR: Since the PRC, China has initiated 0 […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

CFR notes that China "has not invaded any
nation since Vietnam in 1979", which is a useful
shorthand for exactly the distinction you're
getting at.
(fr)
Council on Foreign Relations
And there's an interesting historical wrinkle: the
1979 Vietnam war itself was partly a response
to Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia, so if you
make your criterion even stricter-China must
initiate an invasion without responding to
another country's invasion of a third country-
then the answer becomes basically no clear
example for the PRC since 1949.
That's a pretty striking distinction from the US,
which has conducted numerous post-1945
wars/interventions that weren't responses to
another state's invasion of the US or its territory.

My latest books cartoon for @theguardian.com

Title: Just announced! Three new Gruffalo books commissioned from bestselling authors!

Lee Chilld:
The Gruffalo just wants a quiet life, but when a crime syndicate moves into the deep dark wood, he must use his terrible claws and the terrible teeth in his terrible jaws to protect the fellow.

Sally Rooney:
The Gruffalo moves to contemporary Dublin. He
ill ever see past his orange eyes, purple prickles and poisonous wart.

Kazuo Ishiguro:
After a long absence, the gruffalo returns to the forest and attempts to make sense of his past. Encounters with a mouse, a fox, an owl and a snake uncover long-buried memories, regrets and revelations.

People like Elon Musk and Peter Thiel are not geniuses. They're just evil morons who have been able to take advantage of a system built by and for evil morons. We need to rebuild a society where these idiots cannot get money and power.
