This is a great example of one of the ways AI is actually going to endanger / kill huge numbers of people. Shitty chatbots cause their special sort of brain rot to the people who package intelligence for our shot-callers. They take the bad ideas from there. www.cnn.com/2026/09/18/p...
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.

The report, according to one of the sources, was “entirely false.” But it also “almost started a war,” the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

New — I wrote about this weird thing where people within the Republican party keep being exposed as Nazis and the party then tries to claim each one is an aberration. The facts, as I lay out here, indicate otherwise:

Republicans don’t have a Nazi problem—they are the Nazi problem

most murders are committed by someone the victim knows - a partner, neighbor etc. but in cases where there is no relationship between murderer & victim? the killer is a cop about a third of the time. if you are killed by a stranger, there is a 1 in 3 chance that stranger is a cop.

There's a perverse symbolism in the legacy of White racism sheltering under the bowers of all African Americans have done for this country while patiently waiting for the chance to go back to insisting we are a drain upon their society and that they never needed us at all.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

Some moments from today's sewing machine cleaning and maintenance workshop with @giantbluecanary.bsky.social at the Block House Gallery - it was lovely to help get a bunch of people's machines running smoother! We can tell a gallery event went really well when attendees ask "when's the next one?"
A photo of about a dozen people, mostly retirement age Black women but varying overall in age, race, and personal style, sitting around three folding tables, each attending to a sewing machine.An photo of the surface of one of the folding tables shows complicated looking sewing machine parts laid out next to a partially disassembled white sewing machine.A photo of a white person holding up their phone's flashlight to get a good view of the internals of a blue Kenmore sewing machine in front of them, while a Black person across the table from them works on a white Singer machine.
