Antisemitism is very real and must be stopped. But Zionists are unfortunately muddying the waters of addressing it by claiming everything critical of their genocidal ethnostate as "antisemtic" and have ballooned the number of reported incidents as a result. 1/

The rush to speculate that asylum seekers are responsible for every crime in the news is a sort of opportunistic informational terrorism. Until it’s disproved it stokes fear and hatred. When it is disproved there are no adverse consequences and they know that they only have to be lucky once.

Absolutely wild that people cannot see "yes we agree that the fascists are correct to want less black and brown people in the Whites Only country, but they should let us do it by official channels" is not, actually, a condemnation at all.

One wonders when, or rather if at all, the Europeans will ever show an ounce of spine and internal solidarity in response to Israel repeatedly, and illegally, expelling European diplomats from missions to a country that is not Israel and whose posts are not on Israeli territory.

There is a genuine incomprehension amongst many journalists and politicians that anyone might care sincerely about Palestinians or seriously object to their indiscriminate slaughter. The natural human response to this genocide is something they simply cannot understand.

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

Yeah there are conversations where someone’s Jewishness is a valid discussion. There are rare cases of people who have never before culturally or religiously self-defined as Jewish grasping at family backgrounds to excuse antisemitism. That’s a real tactic and it’s gross. Miliband isn’t doing that.

starting to think there's some downsides to mathematics done to pump up investor interest in a company! cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/st...

I was shown a prompt and told the internal research model had simply been
given the problem statement. Levent had been told by Sebastien “very little
human input” had been used. This turned out not to be true. Over the course
of the call, as members of their team sent Sebastien corrections and details over
their internal chat, it emerged that an entire team had been working on the
problem, that this was one of a number of things that was tried, that work had
started on the unforced problem, that the team first set the model on easier
problems, including Euler, that even the prompt that had been shown to me
had been written by prompting Codex, and that an insane amount of compute
had been used.
I asked when the first prompt had been sent by them. This question was
not answered directly by OpenAI for some time. Eventually it was agreed that
it had been sent in the past few days, after information about our work had
reached OpenAI.
I asked whether the model had been trained on, or had access to, our sessions
in Codex, into which we had been putting all our drafts for the whole of this
project. I was told the model did not look up user data. I asked again, about
training, and I did not get an answer.
Two proposals were offered to me. The first was that we post our Euler
result, and that OpenAI post its Navier-Stokes result the next day. The second
was that, after posting Euler, I alone write a paper presenting the Navier-Stokes
result, acknowledging that an internal OpenAI model had resolved it. Sebastien
twice asserted that he wanted Levent removed from authorship, and said it
would all be simple if only it were not the case that, and it was so annoying
that, Levent works at Anthropic. It was also said that if OpenAI posted after us,
they would say that we deserved the Clay Prize, and that we were the “closest
humans to the problem”. I declined both offers.
I said that if OpenAI released its result in the way proposed I would go
public with what happened. The reply was…

This is the point. This is why they’re always SO slow to respond to far right stuff, even when the tide of events seems inevitable like now - it’s cause they’ve spent ages developing a strategy and it involves them breaking lots of rules they’ve promised themselves they won’t break.
