Fascism is the final defense mechanism of capitalism.
The powerful executives who cozied up to Trump didn't oops accidentally forget about pendulum swings. They either: 1) Like the fascism 2) Calculated it was here to stay, so going along was savvy 3) Saw no real downside, no consequences when the pendulum swung Crucial to show them 3 was a mistake

I’m not terribly worried about this, as there are a number of factors that have to be in place for it to be useful to attackers, but this is yet another example of a botched embargo on disclosure of a vulnerability.
Defenders across the world face the burden of responding to yet another botched code-execution vulnerability, this time in boot-time firmware used by most of the world’s server vendors and data centers. arstechnica.com/security/202...

The state will test and perfect it's tools of oppression on the frontier provinces before it applies them to the core. I have said this before. Whatever we let the state get-away with against the eponymous 'other', will eventually be applied to us. youtu.be/DabCFHmtkyo

China’s first AI-generated theatrical feature has flopped, earning just $181,000 in its first weekend. By contrast, the scrappy ‘Niu Lai’ turned its crude animation into a viral attraction, grossing nearly $10 million a couple of months ago. www.cartoonbrew.com/box-office-r...

There won't be an MIT at this rate, by the time these kids grow up. Or, any pedagogical institution.
"AI can draft an essay for you, especially if you give it a high quality prompt." Really? This is what MIT thinks high schoolers should learn? MIT's "Day of AI" dayofai.org provides materials for K-12 teachers and claims to have reached over 5,000,000 students to date. 1/2

Only hallway through this one, and I'm yet to know what am I reading. A heady medley of Black Death, Spanish abbeys, Epicureanism and axe-weilding Nuns. Also, Indiana Jones and the Skull Island. Why is this so good and so abstract at the same time? beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/a-dr...

This is nuts. He was already placed in a league with 5yo. Saw in an article on huffpost that pro footballer Eddie Johnson has enrolled him in his youth soccer program for the winter because of this incident, so this kid hopefully can move on from these jerks and continue having more fun.
