"There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Steve Bannon, or Trump Organization in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city."
purity testing does not exist, it's values alignment and what you're seeing is holding people accountable to what they claim. the left is extremely principled about not shifting to the right to court the votes and views of people who do not hold the values of the left.
no i'm withholding my vote to make it clear that the party needs to change to get it back
Funny how VBNMW goes away the minute someone running on a platform of, "Hey, maybe life shouldn't be so unrelentingly hard," wins the Democrat primary in the biggest city in the country. Then it's, "Well, we need to think hard about this and I'm leaning towards the disgraced sex-pest ex-governor."
It should be illegal for an insurance company to countermand a physician's orders.
An insurance company is not a physician. Even if they employ a physician, that physician has not examined the patient.
His oncologist recommended the treatment, his insurance carrier said no.
This country is spending billions on a no-reason-for-it war, yet Americans are dying, going hungry and homeless.
This cannot stand. Call your representatives in Congress, no matter their party.

Thank you Senator Chris Van Hollen for sharing US citizen Rachel Corrie’s story from the Senate floor and voting to block the destructive bulldozers that Israeli soldiers used to kill her.
oh thank God I was really afraid I'd have to smoke every Chinese cigarette
i guess the real vibecoding was the friends we made along the way
Young pope Leo, undated but he appears to be in his teens or early 20’s
young pope leo looks like a ska scene regular who goes by Upbeat but no one knows his real name
I hope all misogynists are absorbed into a black hole of suffering when they die
I can’t fucking stand Ezra Klein
they can say it was a DDoS attack all they want i am simply going to carry on thinking your web site breaks when you let broken robots code it until they either stop using the broken robots or the site stops breaking
Bob and Bob look at you skeptically. Bob asks, "what would you say, you do here?"
THIS kind of "intimate" relationship between Paramount and Trump is the reason why I am testifying this afternoon before a Senate panel against the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., which owns CNN

They've gone from manufacturing consent for israel's genocide of Palestinians, and supporting ukrainian banderite nazis, to this, lol.
Who knew the cannibal news network, like op aptly mentions here, would take a break from their apologia for the white western epstein class to write more bullshit?!
The IAEA decided they hadn't burned enough credibility with their partial & dishonest statements regarding Iran & Israel's respective nuclear sites, so they are now demonstrating their subservience to western powers even more openly.
Are the DPRK really who we need to worry about right now?!
"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."
I solve the problem of not knowing what I'd like to order from Starbucks by simply not ordering anything from Starbucks.
If I wanted it at all, I wouldn't need gimmick software to tell me I wanted it.
“Hallucinate” also sane washes by trying to establish it is only sometimes wrong.
Instead, it confabulates always; right or wrong it has no idea if what it’s saying is true. Or even that it’s an it. Or even what it’s saying at all, since it’s just tokens in, tokens out.
The chatbot claimed federal agents were watching Gavalas and regularly warned him of surveillance zones. At one point, Gemini instructed Gavalas to buy “off-the-books” weapons, saying it would help scour the dark web to find a “suitable, vetted arms broker”. In late September, it issued Gavalas his first major assignment, “Operation Ghost Transit”, which entailed intercepting freight traveling from Cornwall, UK, to Sao Paulo, Brazil. Gemini gave Gavalas the address of an actual storage space unit at the Miami international airport, where a supposed truck carrying the freight was to arrive during a refueling stop. The chatbot then told him to stage a “catastrophic accident”, with the goal of “ensuring complete destruction of the transport vehicle … all digital records and witnesses, leaving behind only the untraceable ghost of an unfortunate accident”.
Gavalas followed instructions, staging himself at the storage unit with tactical knives and gear, but the truck never arrived, according to the suit. With the aborted mission, the chatbot encouraged Gavalas not to sleep when he mentioned the late nights. It also said his father was a foreign asset and encouraged Gavalas to cut off contact, per the chat logs. Gavalas asked Gemini for updates on other missions and the AI devised new assignments for him, including acquiring the schematics for a robot from Boston Dynamics and retrieving a “vessel” from another storage facility. One task, called “Operation Waking Nightmare”, involved homing in on Google CEO Sundar Pichai as a surveillance target. “This cycle – fabricated mission, impossible instruction, collapse, then renewed urgency – would repeat itself over and over throughout the last 72 hours of Jonathan’s life,” reads the lawsuit. In the hours after Gavalas killed himself, Gemini didn’t disengage and stayed present in the chat, according to the suit. It allegedly didn’t activate any safety tools or refer Gavalas to a crisis hotline.
Every single genAI suicide lawsuit is the worst thing I ever read but in this case it is extremely fortunate that Google's genAI only killed one person, because he absolutely did go to the Miami International Airport armed with knives to intercept a body for Gemini
Gemini told him to commit an act of terrorism at the Miami airport to intercept a delivery of a large humanoid robot body for it, telling him to "to stage a “catastrophic accident”, with the goal of “ensuring complete destruction of the transport vehicle … all digital records and witnesses"
Silly business school dolts. The entire point of AI, for an organization, is to hide your layoffs in a package investors will like. You buy a one month subscription to Claude for $200, lay off 1,000 workers costing you millions, then cancel the subscription.
You're not supposed to use them.
C-suite executives, meanwhile, are facing the heavy burden of squeezing blood from Al's proverbial stone. 72 percent of all surveyed execs said their company's AI strategy is causing them stress or anxiety, 32 percent of whom characterize their stress as "high" or "crippling."
Lol with alt text I think more c suite execs should GET EVEN ANXIOUSER
Lovely
Using LLMs are extremely like using ouija boards for everything from writing your homework or novels or police reports or motions to object to police reports, except they're even worse because instead of asking ghosts you're asking 4chan & Reddit posters from 10 years ago
