'Tánaiste Simon Harris has said AI is ... “here to stay” ...'
He's not wrong, you know. Technologies can't be uninvented.
What he's actually saying is that he's going to allow Generative AI vendors to do as much damage as they can to the economy and to labour.
If you are curious, here is a detailed density map of the sun-like stars out to 1000 parsecs. It looks very different from my hot star maps. In sun-like stars, the Sun is at the edge of a peninsula-like structure that extends from the inner galaxy.
Pleased to partner with Philip Morris on our “healthy smoking in schools” initiative
As always, the West will dismantle itself for Israel's genocide. Now the UK is openly replacing impartial judges days before important Palestine cases wrap up, without any explanation or clarification. Any pretense of fairness in the legal system is gone.

Absolutely insane.
Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani.
Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo.
The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".
A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control
New awareness campaign
"these arrangements are not 'partnerships' or 'collaborations' but contracts that bring profit and publicity to AI firms, while making universities complicit in the continued empowerment of tech oligarchy and expansion of their 'AI Empire' (Tacheva and Ramasubramanian, 2023; Adams, 2024; Hao, 2025)"
Tech Venn Diagram Two circles, one says "Doing work that contributes beneficially to society."; the other says "Making enough income to support a family."
Life situations are bleak right now for a lot of people. In tech, the "Venn Diagram" of (1) positive work and (2) making enough money to support your family is increasingly non-overlapping. We all do what we can.
This image has been living in my mind rent-free for months.
This is genocidal mania.
Israeli analyst Ori Goldberg exposes the frightening truth.
"The more we have learned about the specifics of DNA associated with intelligence, the further away that goal has receded."
📣 Germany's close to reversing its opposition to mass surveillance & private message scanning, & backing the Chat Control bill. This could end private comms-& Signal-in the EU.
Time's short and they're counting on obscurity: please let German politicians know how horrifying their reversal would be.
She was arrested for holding a sign reading:
“I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action”
How that would warrant arrest is very unclear. I wonder if the police here even understand the boundaries of the bizarre law they’ve been forced to enforce.
"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.
Banksy satirised the state silencing those opposed to Israel’s genocide.
The state then inadvertently made his artwork genius.
They droned a second boat. We’re still going to Gaza. Pressure the Irish government any way you can to support the flotilla and sanction the country attacking us
Our lead ship on the Global Sumud Flotilla was droned and caught fire. The six who were onboard are safe, and our mission will continue. They know international opinion is turning inexorably against them. Bombing peaceful humanitarians won’t exactly help that, but it’s the only response they’ve got.
"If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because 'violence' is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as 'peaceful' are, in reality, quite violent."
Something that I have been thinking about with attribution of "PhD level intelligence" or "PhD level expertise" to a machine is that it reflects an increasing trend among these AI bros and their sycophants to want the products of highly skilled training without actually doing any of the work.
Even after the Federation formed, the Star Trek universe is *dangerous*. You have capricious energy beings, an unbelievably volatile timeline, and space anomalies that can just show up and swallow a starship or even a planet whole.
A list of only the confirmed children massacred by Israel's pure evil and relentless genocide in Gaza. Many estimations are that the actual amount of adults and children murdered by Israel could be double, or even triple. They will likely remain unnamed.

imagine a tobacco company urged governments to embed smoking a 'core component' of a healthy lifestyle
i know this comes off as a cheap shot but I'm dead serious, this is what it looks like if you keep hitting 'Generate Next' on an LLM. AI can't really do pacing or structure, so it walks itself into disconnected conflict beats it can only resolve or drop to get back on-prompt
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.
The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.
All Israel's cheerleaders have are lies
a couple of hours before my keynote, I went through an intense negotiation with the organisers (for over a hour) where we went through my slides and had to remove anything that mentions 'Palestine' 'Israel' and replace 'genocide' with 'war crimes'

this technology that i cant even get my own employees to use without literally threatening them is definitely going to be profitable one day
The UK government arms genocide & supports illegal invasions, apartheid, and occupation
It now calls to make protestIng against these illegal acts a "terrorist offence" for UK citizens, so they can throw dissenters into jail.
This abuse of power will expand.

With video game prices rising, AI is a critical tool for developers and gamers alike. By seeing which games use AI, gamers can save money by not buying those games. @TheZeldaZone@mastodon.social
important life hack for video games
"And remember this: the [Zionist] need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear."
