Today’s offering is an attempt to write a poem in real time while on a train journey.

Scenes from a Train Window

A pylon looms like a sini-
Two birds puncture the late afternoon blue as th-
Cows stare into the distance and wonde-
Fields sleep drowsily, waiting for-
Buddleia bubbles up along the tr-
A woman waves at her youn-
Some buildings.
Graffiti.

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

Two year anniversary of when I first posted this comic

Two panel comic. Panel 1: an anglerfish is washed up on the ocean shore, laying in the tide. It thinks to itself, “it’s so beautiful.” Panel 2: wide shot of the beach, rocky cliffs, and sky at sunset, with the anglerfish still laying in place. The anglerfish continues thinking to itself, “I might have never known.”

Ex Pearl Jam drummer David Abbruzzese on Elon Musk and the gutting of USAID. "Fascism survives by turning corpses into math. It sells death as tradeoffs, budget lines, acceptable loss. People who would never step over a dying child on a sidewalk will vote for that spreadsheet every two years."

Elon Musk dared people to name a single person who died because he gutted USAID. Nicholas Kristof answered with names: children, ages, villages, even a five-month-old baby. He dragged the dead out of spreadsheet fog and back into the room. Musk responded with a profanity-laced tantrum, furious that the bodies refused to stay offstage.

Fascism survives by turning corpses into math. It sells death as tradeoffs, budget lines, acceptable loss. People who would never step over a dying child on a sidewalk will vote for that spreadsheet every two years. The spell breaks when the dead arrive one by one with names and faces, so the strongman does the cheapest thing he has. He attacks the witness.

If these estimates hold, Elon Musk helped push millions of human beings, including children, into the kill zone. This is mass death on a historic scale. It belongs in history books beside some of the most repulsive names mankind has produced. Of course he cannot handle names. Names carry funerals, villages, children, and the full human weight of what he did. They pin the crime to the body."

I generated a realistic Amsterdam street with AI. It does not exist. Then I asked a new ChatGPT chat to geolocate it. It confidently named a real street. Then it found no strong AI tells. For OSINT, seeing is no longer believing. Verification is. Read: www.dutchosintguy.com/post/the-ams...

The Amsterdam Street That Never Existed

AI can generate a convincing Amsterdam street that never existed, then fail to recognize its own fiction when asked to geolocate it. This experiment shows why visual plausibility is no longer proof. F...
