Meloni: “Niente truppe a Kiev”. Ipotesi militari addestrati in Italia
La presidente del Consiglio ai Volenterosi: “Mosca non può essere la sede dei colloqui”Francesco Malfetano (La Stampa)
"An analysis by Hanna Homestead of the National Priorities Project, a nonpartisan research group, found that if Trump deployed 3,000 National Guard troops to Chicago it would cost taxpayers around $1,590,000 per day. It’s the latest runaway expense — expected to climb into the hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars — connected to Trump’s efforts to turn the U.S. into a genuine police state.
“Deploying National Guard troops to Chicago is only going to add to taxpayers’ growing tab for these law-and-order optics,” said Stephen Ellis, the president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan budget watchdog group. “Spending millions of dollars a day on troops milling about major American cities is a waste of their time and squanders precious resources.”
A federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles was illegal and harkened back to Britain’s use of soldiers as law enforcement officers in colonial America. He warned that Trump intends to transform the National Guard into a presidential police force.
It remains unclear whether that judicial decision will be enforced. Given the Supreme Court ruling earlier this year decreeing that federal district courts cannot issue injunctions against federal policies nationwide, any decision on a Chicago occupation would have to come from a case of its own.
Trump has threatened to deploy troops to Chicago for weeks, following militarized crackdowns in Los Angeles in June and in Washington, D.C., last month. “I will solve the crime problem fast, just like I did in D.C. Chicago will be safe again, and soon,” Trump posted to TruthSocial on Tuesday, the same day that the federal judge deemed the California troop deployment illegal."

While alive he had never won a race. If he had lived only a few minutes longer, he would have.

There's some really gross hypocricy on Fedi regarding AI by computer scientists/ tech enthusiasts who are vocally critical of some aspects of generative AI for appearances, but who are actively benefiting from the AI bubble professionally, and talking out of both sides of their mouth.
There is also some gross classism in the decrying of people's intelligence who are using it to take shortcuts (as if they are the problem, not the wealth-class or hypercompetitive neo-liberalism).
I think we are making a mistake listening to half-assed criticisms from uncredible sources while focusing on the users of generative AI, instead of directing our ire at the tech industry itself.
There is a complete lack of accountability from the tech world to begin with about all the decisions that led us to the AI bubble.
It is just one of a long string of disastrous failures (#enshittification) and framing it as an AI-only issue, or an issue of degrees ("I know how to use it ethically!"), evades responsibility for the decades long growth of tech-surveillance capitalism.
AI is the logical endpoint of early 21st century tech, and criticisms of it need to be grounded in criticisms of the tech industry in general. #AI #Tech
AI isn't a bubble quercus
LLMs are a generational advance in computer science and cybernetics. there's nothing faddish about them.
AI, or synthetic intelligence or general intelligence - whatever you want to call intelligent machines - have only to become somewhat more imaginative and specifically motivated to be indistinguishable from most articulate, intellectual humans.
those scientists aren't being hypocrites: they're voicing the same dismay at the use of GPT etc. to produce so-called "slop" as most folk.
but they're better informed with respect to the broader applications of machine intelligence - which of course pre-date chatGPT etc. - and are more positive, and no doubt excited by, the future of the technology.

#fujifilm #digital #switzerland #locarnofilmfestival
"Minutes after the perpetrator of the shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church in Minneapolis last week was identified, YouTube appeared to delete several videos they had shared that morning.
But not before the videos were downloaded and reshared in full on X.
Within hours, the platform was flooded with wild claims about the shooter and her motivation, with everyone from Elon Musk, the site’s owner, to the head of the FBI and left-wing activists posting half-baked allegations blaming anti-Christian hate, transgender genocide, and white supremacy. Many of the posts racked up millions of views per X’s public metrics.
While other social media platforms were also used to share unfounded claims about the shooter’s motivations, X, under Musk, has become the perfect platform to supercharge the spread of dangerous disinformation during breaking news events. The entire team tasked with tackling disinformation on the platform was first culled years ago, and now X's biggest users claim they are incentivized by the platform to share out-of-context clickbait content over verified facts."

approaching trans women like you want to keep it secret from other people in your life invokes a very specific image of who you are and what you want. and i have no respect for it
sure, maybe 1 times in 10 even though it quacks like a creep it is actually just some toad. but why should i care, i would rather avoid the 9 creeps than finding out yet again i don't like hanging out with toads. they're like little turrets when they try to move and they usually try and avoid me by jumping into my foot. annoying
In that it makes my leg feel worse.
But offers a pretty solid relief from the leg injury.

Ok, internet detective squad, help a sister out. This poster hangs in the office of a friend’s wife. So far, none of us have been able to discern its meaning. Reverse image search has been of no help. The puzzle solving part of my brain is screaming at me because I know I’m missing something so obvious I will be embarrassed when it is revealed. So, embarrass me already!
I have STRONG opinions about the IB program, as implemented in Ontario. But it's still much much better than the bullshit that's AP in the US.
My daughter did AP, and I thought it was going to be like the A levels. But instead, it was an insane workload, and when talking to universities, not a single one counted it as college credit, which was the whole "selling" point of the classes. She was so burned out by the experience I had a really hard time keeping her from dropping out of school entirely. I have strong opinions about the AP program. ;)
