one of the things that people who use these things regularly will tell you is that as far as the actual current proved out revenue-producing uses (programming, mostly, although not entirely) the models seem to be sorta asymptoted, which is part of why there's now such fierce price competition

LLMs work on the Frieren limitation of magic. You can only do what you can imagine. So that’s why when I can’t imagine how to boil the ocean I ask the text elemental how it could work first. This too is Chaos Magick

The uncomfortable reality is that the Israel/Gaza war just so happened to feature opposing belligerents who, though they are not equally matched in standard warfare, are among the global leaders in information warfare. Almost certainly moreso than in any conflict since the fall of the USSR.

The near constant contradictions within the activist community were obvious, but if you called them out, you got called a war criminal. So there's a total information blackout, yet you were radicalized by a constant stream of video content? No news can get in or out, but you can Venmo someone?

It was also telling the degree to which this sort of thing proliferated way more for Gaza than it did for Ukraine, despite the massive population disparity and the complete destruction of communications infrastructure in Gaza.

The ability to pour hundreds of millions of pounds into a loss-making TV channel, bent on wrenching British politics sharply to the right, is yet another of the ways in which extreme wealth is trying to remake UK democracy. It needs to be part of any serious conversation about political funding.

There is a billionaire wealth tax on the ballot in California this year. Everyone agrees that California is more liberal than the nation has a whole and should be more receptive to such taxes, yes? The wealth tax isn’t going to get anything close to 61% support, it might even fail to pass!

Hebrew punctuation precedes Zionism as a political movement by about a 800 years. It was not in any way integral to "spoken Hebrew" and the unity between Jews across the world was never "artificial". It's just wrong on so many levels.

normatively it is treated as aggression in left spaces to say that this is sick behavior. i do not care. it is sick behavior. anyone not on the internet twelve hours a day knows this, and anything you have learned by watching pales in comparison to the fact that you have forgotten this.
