Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

Quick clinical note: If you have client who suddenly feels brilliant, overconfident and seems hypomanic without history of significant mood instability OR a client who suddenly out of the blue seems to feel confused, incapable, insecure & everything they do is wrong - ASSESS THEIR AI USE.

Looks like OpenAI may have stolen another mathematicians work.
Screenshot of an X post by user Valerio Capraro (@ValerioCapraro) featuring text followed by an embedded photo of a man in glasses and a dark sweater against a forested outdoor background.
The post text reads:
"BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery."

misunderstanding... #oc #art
4 panel comic of Knight Emil and his Prince Mattias conversing. 

First panel is of Emil blushing and rubbing the back of his head shyly as he says "Look, Milord. I don't like women.. okay?"

Second panel Mattias freaks out and internally thinks "Sir Emil is a misogynist?!"

Third panel is of Mattias sighing disappointed and saying "Sir Emil. That's a horrible thing to say.."

The fourth panel is of Emil freaking out just the same and thinking internally "Prince Mattias is homophobic!?"

Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

Just hours ago, Trump said he was gonna call Netanyahu to tell him not to attack lran. “I call all the shots. Netanyahu doesn't,” he says. And now, Israel just attacked Iran. So Trump was either blatantly lying to you on behalf of Israel, or he’s letting Israel walk all over him.

Every time people cite construction as a reason for small businesses closing in Uptown, I think about how the Minneapolis City Council funded a $900,000 construction hardship program that Mayor Frey did not implement.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ This would have been support for small businesses in Uptown.

Things you read on a blog might make you angry. They might upset you. Stop visiting that blog. Don't waste your time posting comments. Move on and find a new blog. There are so many fun blogs on the Internet. You'll easily find a better one.
There is always another fun new blog to read online.

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.
