"The Intercept analysis showed that the major newspapers reserved terms like “slaughter,” “massacre,” and “horrific” almost exclusively for Israeli civilians killed by Palestinians, rather than for Palestinian civilians killed in Israeli attacks"
Even words the UN uses regularly in its resolutions, like “occupied territory” “Palestine” “refugee camps” are censored
How to know when you've crossed over to full, freakin' paranoia?? When you read an article like this & immediately envision #Christofascist legislation to grow "abandoned" frozen embryos via artificial wombs so they can become neglected, traumatized kids--oops, I mean properly-educated RW voters. Voila... the next anti-abortion tool. 🤦♀️
A year to be forgotten, or permanently remembered, this global social, ethical and moral debt I won't put on my account alone, far from here and far from me are many other failures throughout the year (to put it mildly). This is how it is, was and will be, because barbarism is growing, but the whole world lives its yawns and jokes between the beach and the allergy, the barbiturate and the bicoin, but blindness no longer accepts bargaining, it no longer goes by its original name.
2023
Um ano para ser esquecido, ou lembrado permanentemente, essa dívida social, ética, moral mundial eu não a colocarei sozinho na minha conta, longe daqui e de mim estão muitas outras falhas no ano todo (para dizer pouco). Assim é, foi e será, porque a barbárie cresce, mas o mundo todo vive seus bocejos e gracejos entre a praia e a alergia, o barbitúrico e o bitcoin, mas a cegueira já não aceita barganha, já não atende pelo seu nome original.

Nachdem ich mir letztens das PDF von Amazing Adventures 5e gekauft habe (https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/294977/Amazing-Adventures-5E), war ich schon drauf und dran mir das Buch aus den USA kommen zu lassen. Gestern war ich im Brave New World in Köln und da stand's im Regal 🤩
If you're worried about #LLM-based #AI, you're focusing on the wrong thing and may lack imagination.
This, and related developments (I can't view them as advancements, knowing how this all will end) are what's going to end the human race as we've known ourselves.
Much good can be derived from technologies like this, but we—being as we are—will ultimately go much to far.
I don't think we're prepared for our instant evolution (and, separately, eventual mechanization).
Almost every week now, + despite statements to the contrary, by many #AI#scientists and #programmers, the utopias of #IsaacAsimov and #PhilipKDick (+ others 1)) are making a leap forward.
Due to all the white noise + the hype regarding #AI most of the general public.
