The thing with pretending "AI agents" have autonomy & can act on their own is that it removes liability from the companies & humans who built them. This is deliberate marketing on AI companies' part. They don't want to be held responsible.

“If it keeps voters staring at a nonexistent threat to the WNBA instead of the corruption engulfing the administration in the run-up to the November midterms, the stunt has done its real work.” Everything about this Kanter stunt is gross including the political strategy. Give this a read:

This story is a bit wild. After Elon Musk's DOGE erased decades of USAID data, it was assumed to be lost. But a Canadian college student had previously downloaded much of it in high school for a project. 4,000 PDFs. Thanks again, Canada. Yet again. www.aiddata.org/blog/before-...

Explanation of the Symbolism of the Tibetan National Flag

    In the centre stands a magnificent snow-clad mountain, which represents the great nation of Tibet, widely known as the Land Surrounded by Snow Mountains.

    The Six red bands spread across the dark blue sky represent the original ancestors of the Tibetan people: the six tribes called Se, Mu, Dong, Tong, Dru, and Ra which in turn gave rise to the (twelve) descendants. The combination of six red bands (for the tribes) and six dark blue bands (for the sky) represents the unceasing enactment of the virtuous deeds of protection of the spiritual teachings and secular life by the black and red guardian protector deities with which Tibet has been connected since times immemorial.

    At the top of the snowy mountain, the sun with its rays shinning brilliantly in all directions represents the equal enjoyment of freedom, spiritual and material happiness and prosperity by all beings in the land of Tibet.

    On the slopes of the mountain a pair of snow lions stand proudly, blazing with the manes of fearlessness, which represent the country’s victorious accomplishment of a unified spiritual and secular life.

    The beautiful and radiant three-colored jewel held aloft represents the ever-present reverence respectfully held by the Tibetan people towards the three supreme gems, the objects of refuge: Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

    The three-colored swirling jewel held between the two lions represents the people’s guarding and cherishing of the self discipline of correct ethical behavior, principally represented by the practices of the ten exalted virtues and the 16 humane modes of conduct.

Lastly, the adornment with a yellow border symbolizes that the teachings of the Buddha, which are like pure, refined gold and unbounded in space and time, are flourishing and spreading.

These trippy rainbow formations are called polar stratospheric clouds (PSC). They form in the stratosphere at 15-25 km (9-16 mi) when temps are below −78 °C. They're so high up that they're illuminated long after the sun dips below the horizon. (📷: Karin Switzerland)
Trippy multicolored clouds of very unusual shapes, like a caterpillar and some sort of experimental aircraft, but they're colorful and sort of overlayed on each other, like you're looking at one of those magic eye posters.

Raskin: What makes somebody a good lawyer? You have to identify with the people who are the victims of injustice — not with their perpetrators. So I would say to Pam Bondi: If you’re going to stand with the victimizers and not the victims, then you’re not a real lawyer.

This is an important point. Empathy—in and of itself—is anti-fascist. The arts—and the project of higher education as a whole—teach empathy, enabling you to put yourself in other people’s shoes. So to a fascist, they must be destroyed.
