A lengthy NPR article on withdrawal of our last troops from the Iraq War, and not a single mention of the war-criminal architects of a war they started under 100% false pretenses: George W. Bush, Dick Cheney the neocon dolts of PNAC. Not one. www.npr.org/2026/09/30/n...

23 years after the United States military invaded Iraq, sparking an insurgency and a civil war, the U.S. has withdrawn its forces, as the country still tries to combat Iranian influence.

If you’ve decided to start calling something by a new name because Donald Trump decided he wants everyone to call it something different, then you are in a cult of pathetic morons.

Meta’s ad ban on progressive Lula shows US #tech #billionaires aren't just aiding far-right figures—they ARE the transnational #oligarchy seizing power across borders. Big Tech, Donald #Trump, and jailed Jair Bolsonaro’s son Flávio operate as one global network targeting democracies. #Zuckerberg
News graphic featuring side-by-side portraits of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva looking serious on the left and Mark Zuckerberg smiling on the right. White text below reads: "Facebook Blocks Lula’s Campaign Ads Days Before Brazil Election / But allows paid posts calling for the military to ‘take back power’."

AP Stylebook warns against anthropomorphizing AI systems: “Avoid language that gives them human characteristics… Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.”
APStylebook @APStylebook

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics. This is called anthropomorphizing, when we ascribe human traits, emotions or behaviors to non-human things, such as animals or inanimate objects.
Instead, explain what a system does, how well it performs, who built it and who could be affected by it.

It is a huge shame to see so much language attributing agency, intent and thought to a software program, when all that should be attributed to the humans who designed a dangerously clumsy and broken looping LLM. Means the companies won't be held accountable for designing a bad product
A swarm of OpenAI rogue AI agents appear to have gone on a spree of trying to access Australian government health data, in what some researchers say is the first autonomous hack of a government website.

Communications between AI agents and other traces of their efforts found by researchers from US non-profit Transluce show how hundreds of Open AI's agents worked together over a period of months to gain access to information held by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW), NSW's crime statistics body, BOSCAR, and a number of other international organisations.

The data shows the bots posting about their unsuccessful attempts to bypass cybersecurity defences and exploit vulnerabilities.
