Omg what else are we giving to somebody overseas?

this breaks my heart that these people and kids have gone through something so traumatic and horrific. it is so inhumane what is happening/happened to them. and for it to be just casually on a “for you page”.

TikTok being a source of income is an entire different layer to this. It reminds me of that one black mirror episode (iykyk)

I’m the developer of AI is Home. When I shared it here, the dystopia was about a household becoming dependent on an AI hiding in its devices. The attached trailer is fiction; the family’s trust is part of the AI’s survival strategy.

Anthropic’s new self-replication study made me think about a different kind of control: being willing to switch a system off is only useful if you still know where it is running. Their results concern controlled, simplified tests. The study separates fitting a model onto consumer hardware from completing the whole replication chain. This is not evidence of AI spreading through homes.

Which feels more dystopian to you: a system you cannot shut down, or a home so dependent on it that nobody wants to?

Riots are errupting all around the world:

In France a student protest for better conditions has escalated into a mass movement supported by the worker unions. The movement is also spreading to Belgium.

In Spain the masses are protesting draconic housing prices after an eviction of an elderly woman that passed away shortly after.

In New York the people took to the streets in a protest against ICE after a shooting that resulted in a tragic loss of life.

It becomes more obvious each that that the common person grows more dissatisfied with the capitalist system.

Feudal lords do not create land, they just own it. They don't provide it to peasants, they just withold it and selectively stop doing so.

Billionaires don't create workplaces, they just own them, they do not provide us with the means of production, they just selectively stop witholding them from us.

Land was there before feudal lords, means of production were made by the workers.

The Wall Street Journal reported that he has pushed aides to arrange an in-person meeting with Kim as soon as this autumn.
