Palantir’s deranged manifesto shows why it should be nowhere near our public services.
This is not a normal company, it's Trump's favourite tech firm and a danger to our NHS.
I had to read Palantir's Technological Republic thread twice because the first time I was certain this was satire: twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...
Yes. The brain doesn’t work like AI. It’s not a computer. We use metaphors for it from technology b/c it’s really hard to understand how the brain works and we don’t entirely understand how a pile of electrified jello does all this. But it’s definitely much cooler than AI.
The role AI plays in knowledge creation is the same one fake scholars have been at for centuries: making shit up.
👇 Here's what research really involves, and why we shouldn't be shy about laughing in the faces of AI slop merchants who claim their products are capable of doing anything like it.

This is a serious escalation.

Som "takk for innsatsen" dømmes Naturvernforbundet og NU til å BETALE 3,750 millioner kroner i sakskostnader. Et vanvittig brudd på rettssikkerhet og Århuskonvensjonen.
NASA releases new image of planet Jupiter captured by James Webb Space Telescope, the most powerful telescope ever built.
"Vance" is a useful new verb in the English language, and one consistent with our Latinate heritage.
Compare:

In a sentence:
"Donald Trump's second term vanced the American economy."

It’s not even about land per se. Russians take the land in order for you to never have independent foreign policy, and then they ensure you die in the Russian swamp of corruption and rot. They steal everyone’s individual and collective national future.
Map of sea level rise at 142 meters. A red x indicates the blocked Strait of Hormuz. A green arrow indicates the new sea passage.
I don't understand what the big deal is. Once sea level rise hits 140 meters, a new sea passage will open through UAE/Oman territory and the Hormuz thing will resolve itself

An Old Norse poem for Artemis II. Watching the launch I was put in mind not only of Norse explorers pushing past the known bounds of land, but of Huginn & Muninn flying to all inhabited realms to bring back their thoughts & memories, as the astronauts will bring back theirs from uninhabited realms.
This is Bucha, one year after russian forces were driven out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It shows the resilience of the Ukrainian people and sends two important messages to the world: (1) sooner or later, russians will be driven out of all Ukrainian territories (2) Ukraine will be fully rebuilt.
Very important article: was the whole Epic Fail the first war caused by #LLM s telling the credulous what they wanted to hear?
I fear they at least influenced it.
These are very powerful tools. They can do terrible harm if used unwisely.

Sarah Makin, former Senior Advisor to President Trump on International Religious Freedom:
For the past year, I've been digging into what Russia has been doing in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
They have one church that they allow, and the rest are not allowed. You can be arrested just for that.
This has been going on in Russia for many years. What they've now done is export that to Ukraine, where they are occupying territory.
In the occupied regions, there are 3 million Christians living under this threat.
Russia has bombed, shelled, and looted 650 Christian churches.
They have murdered, a conservative estimate is 49 pastors, priests, evangelical leaders, and other faith leaders in Russian-occupied Ukraine.
They have tortured these men before murdering them. And again, a conservative estimate is 49.
