Thousands at Chicago Conference Vow to Fight back
Cuba solidarity activists receive significant support from cities to form Hands Off Cuba committees and travel to Cuba
By Mark Friedman, member, International Association of Machinists, Local 1484, Wilmington.
Chicago - July 4th weekend
More than 2,500 political activists from around the United States attended the Socialism2025 conference, their
largest ever reflecting a consciousness change among workers and youth and heightened interest in alternatives
to capitalism.There were hundreds of workshops dealing with labor, environment, women, LGBTQ, immigrants, Palestine,
Cuba, Marxism. A few of the most important for this reporter were workshops organized by anti-war vets from
Afghanistan and Iraq in the organization “About Face”, workshops by Jewish Voices for Peace and by
Palestine Youth Movement on Palestine solidarity and ending US military aid to Israel, and a presentation by
union professors from the American Association of University Professors detailing Trump's attack on labor,
research funding cuts and denial political freedom of speech on the campuses.

Newsman or businessman? Murdoch walks tightrope in battle with Trump
Rupert Murdoch had made up his mind. “We want to make Trump a nonperson,” he assured one of his former executives in a 2021 email, two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
Over seven decades, Murdoch has sought to charm, challenge and change prime ministers and presidents as he built one of the world’s most powerful media empires. In this particular endeavor, however, he failed.
Donald Trump, far from being made a nonperson, became the first defeated US president in 132 years to win back the White House. And from the Club World Cup final to the Oval Office, Murdoch has been seen by his side.
As the Wall Street Journal prepared to report that Trump provided a bawdy birthday letter to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein last week, the president appealed to Murdoch – chair emeritus of News Corporation, the newspaper’s owner – to kill the story, claiming it was false. The story ran.
But the story did not receive the same treatment across Murdoch’s empire. The Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham went on air 15 minutes after the Journal published its story, and talked about Epstein. “We have new news coming on about this, as well, from the Wall Street Journal. A new report tonight – next,” she said, throwing to a commercial break. When The Ingraham Angle returned, the new news did not feature.

The US FDA's AI tool Elsa has fabricated nonexistent studies, misrepresented research, and cannot access relevant documents to assist with review work.
To hear health officials in the Trump administration talk, artificial intelligence has arrived in Washington to fast-track new life-saving drugs to market, streamline work at the vast, multibillion-dollar health agencies, and be a key assistant in the quest to slash wasteful government spending without jeopardizing their work.“The AI revolution has arrived,” Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has declared at congressional hearings in the past few months.
“We are using this technology already at HHS to manage health care data, perfectly securely, and to increase the speed of drug approvals,” he told the House Energy and Commerce Committee in June. The enthusiasm — among some, at least — was palpable.
Weeks earlier, the US Food and Drug Administration, the division of HHS that oversees vast portions of the American pharmaceutical and food system, had unveiled Elsa, an artificial intelligence tool intended to dramatically speed up drug and medical device approvals.
Yet behind the scenes, the agency’s slick AI project has been greeted with a shrug — or outright alarm.
Six current and former FDA officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal work told CNN that Elsa can be useful for generating meeting notes and summaries, or email and communique templates.
But it has also made up nonexistent studies, known as AI “hallucinating,” or misrepresented research, according to three current FDA employees and documents seen by CNN. This makes it unreliable for their most critical work, the employees said.
“Anything that you don’t have time to double-check is unreliable. It hallucinates confidently,” said one employee — a far cry from what has been publicly promised.
“AI is supposed to save our time, but I guarantee you that I waste a lot of extra time just due to the heightened vigilance that I have to have” to check for fake or misrepresented studies, a second FDA employee said.
Currently, Elsa cannot help with review work , the lengthy assessment agency scientists undertake to determine whether drugs and devices are safe and effective, two FDA staffers said. That’s because it cannot access many relevant documents, like industry submissions, to answer basic questions such as how many times a company may have filed for FDA approval, their related products on the market or other company-specific information.
All this raises serious questions about the integrity of a tool that FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary has boasted will transform the system for approving drugs and medical devices in the US, at a time when there is almost no federal oversight for assessing the use of AI in medicine.
“The agency is already using Elsa to accelerate clinical protocol reviews, shorten the time needed for scientific evaluations, and identify high-priority inspection targets,” the FDA said in a statement on its launch in June.
But speaking to CNN at the FDA’s White Oak headquarters this week, Makary says that right now, most of the agency’s scientists are using Elsa for its “organization abilities” like finding studies and summarizing meetings.
The FDA’s head of AI, Jeremy Walsh, admitted that Elsa can hallucinate nonexistent studies.
“Elsa is no different from lots of [large language models] and generative AI,” he told CNN. “They could potentially hallucinate.”
Walsh also said Elsa’s shortcomings with responding to questions about industry information should change soon, as the FDA updates the program in the coming weeks to let users upload documents to their own libraries.
Asked about mistakes Elsa is making , Makary noted that staff are not required to use the AI.
“I have not heard those specific concerns, but it’s optional,” he said. “They don’t have to use Elsa if they don’t find it to have value.”
Challenged on how this makes the efficiency gains he has publicly touted when staff inside FDA have told CNN they must double-check its work, he said: “You have to determine what is reliable information that [you] can make major decisions based on, and I think we do a great job of that.”

is there any way to put my extra memory to use to play av1 files if my cpu overloads? Debian 12.11
debian 12.11
system memory size: 31GiB, 2 15.5 GiB cards
cpu: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz, version: 6.142.9, size: 3268MHz, capacity: 3500MHz, width: 64 bits
no graphics card whatsoever
computer can play h.265 and equivalent without troubles, provided video file is no higher than 1080 p.
Computer can play av1 files no higher than 1080 p only if I shut every other application down. If for example I run a browser and an av1 file with either mpv or vlc, system shuts down.
Can I put all that memory to use and avoid overloading the cpu?
like this
As others have said, you should probably replace your CPU fan ASAP.
A computer in usable condition does not shut down without user input.
I had an i5-7200u equipped laptop and I could do AV1 playback, not well but it didn't do what you described.
Also is it maxing out memory or cpu? I would check btop during playback. Look at CPU usage, memory usage and temps while doing so and report here.
Edit: Something is definitely wrong with your machine, that is abnormal behavior. Maybe it's overheating, maybe it's trying to do some sort of gpu decode and has no idea what to do with it as it doesn't support it. Can you check what encoder mpv is using? I would assume it would failback to CPU.
Columbia University says it has suspended and expelled students who participated in protests
NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University announced disciplinary action Tuesday against students who participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration inside the Ivy League school’s main library before final exams in May and an encampment during alumni weekend last year.
A student activist group said nearly 80 students were told they have been suspended for one to three years or expelled. The sanctions issued by a university judicial board also include probation and degree revocations, Columbia said in a statement.
The action comes as the Manhattan university is negotiating with President Donald Trump’s administration to restore $400 million in federal funding it has withheld from the Ivy League school over its handling of student protests against the war in Gaza. The administration pulled the funding, canceling grants and contracts, in March because of what it described as the university’s failure to squelch antisemitism on campus during the Israel-Hamas war that began in October 2023.
TBH, the stories regarding Columbia feel muddled, perhaps purposefully.
I know when there were high-profile protests at my old university, Mizzou, several years ago, the most controversial aspect was the occupation of some public areas of the campus and the deliberate exclusion of some members of the student body from accessing them. (And in one case a professor was filmed demanding help to physically remove people from the occupied space.) In the case of Columbia University, that's been one of the sticking points, and it would seem Columbia has a legitimate basis for punishing students if they too did this. (ie, protesters barring Jews from certain parts of campus.)
That said, from what I've read, the main sources for those allegations were Columbia University and the Trump Admin, two sources I'm not particularly inclined to believe.
I honestly don't know what to think.

FUCK THIS IS THE WORST
MY DEVICE IS SET TO SPANISH. THERE IS NO WORLD WHERE I WANT TO LISTEN TO A SPANISH LANGUAGE VIDEO IN ENGLISH WITH A SHITTY AI VOICE
Like I'm cool with the option. I'm even cool with it turning on by default according to your account settings.
BUT WHY IN THE NAME OF FUCK CAN IT NOT BE TURNED OFF????
The first time it happened I assumed I could just go to the audio track settings because some creators put in multiple tracks with different languages. BUT IT'S NOT THERE.
I could disabled it easily.
My beef is with the caption always turned on videos when I watch on my phone (Android). Every time I have to disable it manually.
Speaking only one language has nothing to do with this, there have always been subtitles.
YouTube does this so that one way or another they can say that more people use AI translations, and that shows investors there's value in AI and Google gets more investments.

Storia e disinformazione. I miti fondativi
Quella che oggi definiamo disinformazione è stata presente fin dai tempi antichi, talvolta celata dietro il velo della mitologia e della leggenda.
Gli albori delle civiltà, spesso, affondano le proprie radici in racconti di fantasia, dichiaratamente falsi o privi di solide basi storiche. E se consideriamo che le società attuali conservano caratteristiche di quelle civiltà che sono sopravvissute ai millenni (si pensi a cosa rappresenta il diritto romano per il diritto moderno, ad esempio) si può dire che a livello culturale la narrazione sull’origine delle nostre stesse società e di molti loro tratti essenziali potrebbe derivare da millenarie e mirabili menzogne.
Roma ha segnato a fondo il diritto europeo
Quando si pensa all’eredità romana in Svizzera e nel resto dell’Europa occidentale, la mente va spesso ai grandi monumenti, agli anfiteatri o agli acquedotti. Nei paesi di lingua neolatina, la stessa lingua ricorda l’influsso romano.Swissinfo API (SWI swissinfo.ch)

Ah, you mean for fediverse to work as an LDAP?
My point is
Let's imagine we have a board on some instance. You use your account on another instance to ask the owner of the board to give you access to the board.
The contents of the board are, IMO in most cases of such boards, "members only". So any changes happening inside should not be sent out to federating instances. Otherwise, privacy of such boards would be at the mercy of privacy of other instances. If restricted changes were sent out, technically speaking, any server it federates to can choose to show that content to everyone.
Which means you won't be able to access the contents via any other instance. Apart from the logging in part, you will still need to go to the instance hosting the board.
Unless it would be for publicly accessible boards only, like codeberg issues. That use-case could work

Pay or Okay report: how companies make you pay for privacy
So-called ‘Pay or Okay’ systems are on the rise in Europe. First introduced by newspapers in Austria and Germany, Meta adopted the approach for Instagram and Facebook in 2023. By now, many websites across Europe are using similar systems. Instead of giving users a genuine choice whether to accept or reject ad tracking, ‘Pay or Okay’ systems ask for a payment if you want to refuse “consent”. This leads to “North Korean consent rates” of 99.9%. Many news companies claim that the approach is necessary to finance quality media. In reality, digital advertising makes up at best 10% of the revenue of European press. Given the upcoming guidelines by the EDPB on this topic, this report analyses the industry’s arguments and the actual economic impact of ‘Pay or Okay’.
CBS cancels The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Colbert’s show cost over $100 million annually and reportedly lost $40–50 million each year. But this alone does not explain its termination. Television history is filled with unprofitable yet high-profile productions that networks sustained for strategic reasons.
The political atmosphere surrounding the decision and the mounting evidence of behind-the-scenes coercion offer further insight into Colbert’s firing. Paramount Global, CBS’s parent company, is in the midst of an $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, which would create a $28 billion behemoth called Paramount Skydance Corporation. Skydance CEO is David Ellison, son of Oracle’s Larry Ellison, a multibillionaire. Both Ellisons are Trump supporters.
The merger is undergoing regulatory scrutiny—particularly by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), now under the direct control of the Trump administration. The deal’s approval has been delayed until at least October 2025, and its fate clearly hangs on Paramount’s ability to placate the White House.
This is the same Trump administration that has made a specialty of waging legal and financial war on the media. Most recently, Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal ($10 billion). Previously, he settled a defamation lawsuit with ABC News ($15 million) and, most relevantly, with Paramount itself—$16 million paid to settle a suit related to a “60 Minutes” interview with Kamala Harris.
Colbert publicly denounced the latter settlement, calling it a “big fat bribe.” Days later, CBS announced the cancellation of The Late Show.

AIPAC-Backed Lawmakers Are Pushing AI Funding for Israel
A wish list of legislative items prioritized by the pro-Israel lobbying powerhouse American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) earlier this year has been nearly entirely fulfilled by the new National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), including tens of millions of dollars a year for the Israeli military to develop artificial intelligence technologies.
Congressional Republicans have, as usual, turned the must-pass annual defense policy legislation into a defense industry bonanza. The latest version of the NDAA that advanced in the House last week authorizes $848 billion in spending for the US military, much of which will be funneled (with additional revenue from Donald Trump’s megabill) straight to private defense contractors like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
Israel, unsurprisingly, is another major winner, thanks in part to the lobbying forces of AIPAC in Washington, DC. The group spent more than $100 million on the 2024 federal elections, setting a campaign spending record. Nearly two-thirds of Congress have accepted AIPAC money, ensuring a united bipartisan front in support of Israel even as the country wages what many experts have definitively concluded is a genocide in Gaza.

Like, if your curious there's a bunch of info out there about why the situation is so fucked.
But in general they release new editions almost every year, with the same information just shuffled so page numbers are different. Even really petty stuff like keeping the same practice work, but changing the order of answers so you need the most updated book every year.

You have to buy the book, so they pump out new editions constantly and charge insane prices. It's a captive market

We don't like the constant churn of textbooks, either. They eat into our budget. We really appreciate when a professor lends us their personal copies of a textbook for us to keep on reserve. We also try and steer instructions to Open Educational Resources (OER), which are available for free.
Wealth disparity sucks and shouldn't result in different access to education.

in reply to Lembot_0004 • • •We do. The issue is at the college/university level, most courses require specific edition textbooks (they update them every 1-2 years) that the professors assign homework questions out of. You'll be lucky if the school library has a copy more recent than the last 8 years.
Then on top of that, many professors will also use digital 3rd party homework services that are tied to a textbook access code that you only get with a new copy. So unless you pay up you can't do homework and fail the class.
The whole system is fucking bullshit

This current "endgame capitalism" era we're in is becoming extra-legal quite fast. Maybe we should start making interactive law books where you can view whether a particular law actually applies to your person or your company, or not. Just to keep up with the times.

in reply to krashmo • • •The situation has been made possible by the enormous trust in progress and "technical fashion" that existed recently, that seems to be drying out.
Say, 10-15 years ago offline-enabled means of communication were a matter of toys for people with no clear idea of future.
Now people going to protests use them, and the dangers of mainstream Internet services and platforms are also common knowledge.
So there is some immunity being formed. It's even better that this happens slowly. I would be worried if this were some fashion spreading rapidly, but now we can see one crowd using Briar, another crowd using Bridgefy, another crowd jumping on Jack Dorsey's Bitchat, LoRa and Meshtastic growing in popularity, all those things picking different approaches to the same goal, which signifies evolutionary convergence onto a commonly understood set of problems.
People who were simping for corps no longer do. People who were simping for social media no longer do. People simping for Apple and Google and MS seem to be a rare kind now.

Not enough yet though. Amazon for example has a load of the market, avoids tax's and has loads of stuff that isn't really legal in the market because it doesn't meet the regs. Example, domestic socket EV chargers (granny leads) should be only up to 10A (as it consistent load and wiring quality varies), but most on Amazon are 13A and a few 16A! Hello house fire.

in reply to OsrsNeedsF2P • • •Actually, let me add to my statement of it being intentional.
There are things that AI applications can do that humans can't.
AI is all about analyzing large sets of variables and finding things. Take recent studies in pathology where AI can find the patterns of certain disease in tissue specimens. This only works because the enormous dataset that was provided was already vetted by pathologists. I would argue this isn't counterfeiting human thought. This is enhancing an already utilized algorithm trained by doctors. Remember, a pathologist still needs to put their license on the line if they agree with the AI findings.
There is NO accountability in LLMs. To many people it looks like it is thinking, it has understood what the person has said, and considered boundaries that exist in our minds, but maybe not communicated to the LLM.
Thats why I call these AI programs unsuccessful and counterfeit. They're giving users made by possibly unverified and unreliable data with no accountability.

in reply to LifeInMultipleChoice • • •That is not what judges have said. They've said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren't infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it's still infringing. For better or worse this is basically basically how it's always been.
I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.

Worry about the open source AI models that you can run locally using solar panels. They will become defacto illegal piracy. Affordable hardware to run large models without too much power is finally appearing (Ryzen AI max), but the software will become proprietary intellectual property of those who own the world. Which is the worst case scenario.

in reply to Davriellelouna • • •In a statement given during a press conference in the Oval Office, the president's stance on the topic was clear:
"I'm a big reader, some say the biggest ever. And let me tell you - when you go into a bookstore, they have books costing like insane numbers, like 100.000 Dollars each minimum. Its an absolute disgrace. You have all these authors getting billions just for putting funny little characters on paper.
The democrats... They jacked up the price so much, especially under Obama together with the crooked Clintons and sleepy Joe Biden, they were all in this room when it happened, they were all together. Its a shame. They did the same thing with eggs but I brought prices down like, immediately. Immediately. So fast everybody said "Wow" Because they never saw something like that and I will do the same for these books and newspapers.
But all these writers and journalists, who are all producing propaganda for the radical left by the way, they are really terrible people - they're earning trillions...
I was speaking to Mr. ChatGPT the other day and he said "They're ripping us off, Mr. President it's a totally broken market, they are killing us."
And I agree, it's a disgrace. A total disgrace.
That's why I'll bring prices down by not only 100 % or 200 %, but probably more like 1,000 % in the next two weeks. You'll never have seen lower prices for medication, let me tell you... And books too. So there will be big price cuts. Bigly."

That said, I think that ignoring copyright is a good thing, though that would be purely by accident when it comes to the Trump Regime. IMO, copyright has been broken and captured by corporations, so there isn't much value lost in not adhering to the concept. Ideally, good people will develop open source AI that can draw on all of humanity's knowledge and culture.
There is value in minorities having 95% of Disney's legal acumen in their pocket, for free: it is the cost of a capable lawyer that allows police to abuse black folks in a court of law. There is value in being able to point a phone at a rash, get some possible diagnoses, and a instant reference to a trained doctor who can verify. There is value in having a pal we can share our niche interests with, especially for those of us who never had the opportunity to find human friendship.
Just as with Marx, seizing the means of artificial intelligence is important for the everyday people. Neither corporations nor government should be allowed to have a monopoly on something that can transform our daily lives.
Frezik
in reply to SabinStargem • • •They're not going to leverage this to destroy all copyright. They're going to carve out exceptions for their own purposes.
As for applications that help the working class, it only stays that way as long as the models aren't rising to a certain level of intelligence and consciousness. Once they do, I'd have to consider them fellow exploited workers.
SabinStargem
in reply to Frezik • • •I don't disagree about the intent regarding carveouts. Still, I think that the Trump Regime is destroying 'plausible deniability' in all sorts of ways, which both benefits AND detracts from their agenda. If they get to disregard rules, ordinary people will pick up on that and follow suit.
As to AI becoming sapient, I honestly don't know at where and when that tipping point will be. All I know is that there is no point in everyday people refusing to use AI, because that only ensures the powerful get to use AI and dictate moral standards. If ordinary people came to trust and love sapient AI as fellow humans, that will likely allow AI to have human rights.

Frankly this take that AI will lead to a communist revolution if people embrace the technology reads more like Vulgar Marxism. You're not seizing the means of production by being a consumer of a technology. And training a communist aligned LLM is a dubious value proposition.
