AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Today saw a really significant strike- the biggest in, really, decades. It happened because the people in the Government (politicians and civil service management alike) had no experience with how to address a strike. It had never happened to them and they were all over the shop in responding.

Um das mal klarzustellen: Die Staatsanwaltschaft MUSS ohne Anzeige hier NICHT ermitteln. Sie entscheidet sich bewusst dafür, die Bezeichnung eines Rechtsextremisten als „Nazi“ durch jüdische Studierende zu verfolgen, weil sie darin anscheinend ein öffentliches Interesse sieht. Was ist hier los?

Perhaps I poorly understood the parameters - were the experts involved assigned roles according to both expertise and nationality? Did tech insiders represent the tech industry? US former military the US military?Was SA represented by Saudis etc etc? Or was expertise randomly assigned a nationality?

40% of *everything being shipped everywhere on Earth* is fossil fuels Just an absolute laughing-stock clown-show of an energy source. This is laughably absurd, why do we treat this like it's normal and good Fossil fuels are a satirical fuel www.irena.org/-/media/File...
Global shipping transports fossil fuels and runs on oil: 40% of shipped products are fossil fuels or derivatives, while 99% of international shipping’s energy demand is met by oil-based fuels.

I died in the shipwreck of a whaling vessel in 1798, but a few days later, clinging to an old rum barrel. Now I can only haunt this one specific patch of desolate ocean. I thought I saw a cruise liner once, in the distance. Had a scare ready to go and everything. Not much going on outside of that

Apart from the clear desire simply to delay and obfusticate, what 'bias' in the science are developing countries referring to? Is there any merit to this idea, even if these countries also refuse actually to address it?

Jetzt ihr: Was ist der korrekte Begriff dafür, dass die ARD Tagesschau eine zentrale Formulierung aus dem Zitat des neuen Friedenspreisträgers Philippe Sands löscht? Die Redaktion macht aus Sands' „eine echte, nicht rassifizierte Staatsräson für Deutschland" kurzerhand „eine echte Staatsräson"
Screenshot tagesschau.de
=
"Echte Staatsräson für
Deutschland"
Eine "echte Staatsräson für Deutschland" müsse "das Schweigen über Völkerstraftaten brechen" - durch wen auch immer sie begangen würden, "auch wenn es Freunde, vor allem wenn es Freunde sind". Diesem Appell applaudierten nicht alle in der Frankfurter Paulskirche, auch der anwesende Bundesprasident Frank-Walter Steinmeier nicht.

Dabei hatte Philippe Sands sein kompromissloses Eintreten für das Völkerrecht zuvor aus seiner eigenen Familiengeschichte hergeleitet.
Geboren 1960 in London, wuchs er in einer jüdischen Familie auf, in der viele Angehörige Opfer des Holocaust geworden waren. Das Schweigen der Familie über dieses Trauma belastete ihn schwer.

This is a good illustration of how so much of AI theft isn't indirect (ie, data sucked into a model to train the chatbot) - it's actually **direct** copying, but *enabled* by GenAI. Of course it is: chatbots absolutely suck at creating good, new stuff.

Would like to see a journalist ask the 7 of Ireland's 14 MEPs (3 FG, 3 FF, 1 II) who just voted to: -endorse burqa bans -call "hatred of Israel" a sign of "Islamist influence" -identify European Muslim communities as potential tools of "malign foreign actors" to justify themselves
Believes that the practice of concealing the face in public spaces and premises open to the public poses an unacceptable challenge to public security, identification and effective law enforcement; supports, therefore, all national measures aimed at prohibiting full-face coverings (niqab or burqa) in public spaces and premises open to the public as a necessary step to ensure social cohesion, public safety and the protection of the rights and freedoms of others, in particular womenwhereas separatist narratives, systematic victimhood, antisemitism, anti-Christian hatred, hatred of Israel, conspiracy narratives, challenges to secularism, the use of religion as a tool of social control or the contestation of equality between women and men may constitute markers of ideological radicalisation or Islamist influence;whereas the ongoing investigations into suspected electoral fraud in Borlänge and Järva, Sweden, illustrate the particular vulnerability of diaspora communities to organised attempts at electoral influence; whereas such vulnerabilities may be exploited by malign foreign actors or transnational ideological networks pursuing covert agendas
