What do people think about this abject systematic racism from the actual govt set against the stupid and wrong 'Zionism is racism' racism that the Greens just shat out from their nether idiots? Tbh I see a lot of parallels, but on the media we seem to be told nuh-uh, the Green thing is uniquely bad

It would seem the Home Office has now acquired the ability to impose, without visibility or accountability, shadow bans on students coming to British universities from particular countries. How? Because of the interaction between indiv visa decisions (made by HO alone) and visa rules for unis 1/?

ya i mean i do genuinely think that one of hegseth's goals is to drive people appalled by barbarity out of the military, because the long term plan is to make the military shoot at us, and the same guys who object to this won't do that either.

Y'know, after the TrumpoGOP autocoup and attempted dictatorial takeover of the Republic (plus upcoming coup attempts), it would be reasonable for whoever manages to dislodge them from power to ban and dismantle the coup party. It's not obligatory to allow coups, in fact it is weird and undemocratic

The most basic reason why the definition of "AGI" shifts every time an LLM can do a new thing is because "general" originally meant "indefinite skill-acquisition." Playing whack-a-mole is a different type of thing: training -> new capability -> can't do X -> train on X -> can do X now -> repeat.

“Zionism is racism” is not a policy but a slogan. It compresses a complex history, going back millennia, and a very wide set of beliefs into one narrow meaning. The answer to genocide is not discrimination. We don't fight racism with racism. I’m gutted to see this motion adopted by the Green Party.

The extent to which the rule "you are not allowed to insult the other side's voters" is applied exclusively to the left never ceases to infuriate me. "Basket of deplorables" and "cling to guns or religion" were WEEKS-long news cycles. There were panels. There was theme music and a logo.
