Listening to the English media, one would be forgiven for thinking that the DUP was the most significant party in NI.
Just ...
In short: the automotive sector has filled our cars with surveillance gear, but that data is only reliably available to commercial data-brokers and hackers who breach Big Cars’ massive data repositories. ... Big Car says that giving you control over your car will result in your murder — but when a child’s life is on the line, they can’t give you access to your own car’s location.

British food inflation is at 17.5% but it doesn't fit the narrative so not a big news story.

It's fascinating just how much devastation this "central banks, debt, poverty and jobs" nonsense has been allowed to cause.
Random people and a random belief system. None of it has anything to do with an economy. Just lots of jobs, mind-boggling inefficiency and a dead planet.

"Everyone can be in the wrong, everyone can be lying. NATO’s aggression and expansionism doesn’t turn Putin into an innocent little lamb. And Russia’s unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine doesn’t absolve NATO of its responsibility in producing the conflict."

@MeAgainCG Go for the hypocrisy and the contradiction with 2017 and 2019. Go for the paucity of vision. Go for the associations with Blair and Mandelson. Go for the DPP record. Go for the denial and blind spot when it comes to apartheid. Go for his impatience with, disdain for democracy.

My take away from engaging with the Berger issue is that it probably only delivers an easy way for people like this is paint a reputational target on your back. Strategically for them this allows the pinata to be thrashed when necessary. Why feed this? There are other ways.

#ChatGPT and its ilk are effectively a large-scale DDoS attack on not only specific tasks (such as teaching, software maintenance and fiction editing) but on human creative inspiration, sense of self and ability to make meaning of the universe.
notice how they are
- creating work for us rather than saving us work
- automating inherently energizing and rewarding tasks such as making art rather than tiring and tedious tasks such as filing taxes
- flooding social networks with generated content that makes it harder to connect with real humans and build community
- distracting us with questions like “what if this machine is sentient?” which keep us from noticing and acting to prevent the suffering of actual humans
that thing where all search engines have become basically unusable because they’re stuffed full of AI garbage? i fear that’s about to happen to everything.
i don’t believe this is necessarily intentional, but no machine that learns under capitalism can imagine another world.
There is nothing inscribed upon the fabric of reality which says nations can't simply coexist peacefully and collaborate toward the common good of all beings, can't turn away from our primitive impulses of domination and control, can't do anything but drift passively toward nuclear annihilation all because a few imperialists in Washington convinced everyone to buy in.
