They erased Banksy’s mural in London — just like they erase Gaza’s story every day. 💔

You remember when everyone (including AI firms) claimed that "Hallucinations" would soon be solved and I got so much shit for arguing that they are a structural property of LLMs?

Now OpenAI releases a paper stating the same and just gets to move on (with all its sycophants).

Really fucking annoys me.

Liberals: “The system is broken and must be fixed.”

Anarchists: “The system is working exactly as intended and must be destroyed.”

'... the repulsive essence has remained the same. Namely using racism and xenophobia to drive divisions between the working classes, and to distract us from the system of class-based exploitation that’s actually causing most of our problems.'

Why is it that so many, whether deliberately or through ignorance are pointing the finger in entirely the wrong direction?
Cold weather payments not been cut because of immigration. The government are not attacking the disabled because of the working poor. It not the fault of those in poverty that food and energy bills are rising.
I wish more folk would stop and think about what is really going on and who is doing very well in a time of austerity for the rest of us.

@bobjmsn best ignored. No publicity.

@DrALJONES Yes,

https://americandragnet.org/ has a full report.

"ICE spent roughly $97 million on data brokers in this period [2017-2021]. The primary contractor that has provided this service is Thomson Reuters, which offers a person-search database called CLEAR."

I would wager even after switching to LexisNexis, ICE kept the data from Reuters. There's no way they washed their hands of that and it not contibuting to what we see now. Sealed records from 12 years were used in one recent arrest.

@DrALJONES Reuters has turned out to be a blatantly pro-fascist, pro-genocide organization that directly, materially aided in the current ICE kidnappings as well.

Here are a few thoughts about the most costly pattern I see in the IT world – and unlike many other patterns that oscillate over years or decades, this one occurs over months, weeks or even days. I call it, "do you even tech, bro?"
