"This brings us to why Gladwell isn't just irritating but corrosive. He is a distortion on the production of knowledge in society. He abuses his fame. No young writer could get away with writing books anchored in "loosely held ideas." And in this, he violates […] [Original post on federate.social]

The local model ling-3.0-tiny runs fast on my mac M1 16gb: 213.15 tokens per second. It does a decent job of reasoning and tool calling. https://huggingface.co/bartowski/Ling-3.0-tiny-GGUF

#ai companies and #aidoomers are all like "AI could wipe out humanity" "We need a pause" or "slowdown" If only there was a way to make the AI stop before we all die! #stophittingyourself

So uhhhhhh… Apparently meta's muse "AI" is just straight up doxxing people to strangers on FB marketplace??? This has the potential to hurt so so many people, and I genuinely wonder how long before they roll out a fix for it.

Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

The White House accord on AI that was signed by all the big tech oligarchs today misspells United States as “Unites States.”

The shamelessly enabling Bezos editorial board endorses the end of the rule of law in favor of the rule of Trump. Maybe a new low. What a horrible undermining of the news side’s attempts to do accountability journalism. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

President Donald Trump’s administration has detained more than 50 spouses and parents of U.S. troops as it rolls back immigration protections for military families, an AP investigation has found.

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

In 2012, 30 states allowed no-excuse mail-in voting. In 2016, 8 states saw more than a fourth of voters send in their ballots. Taibbi has either gotten a lot dumber, or he just doesn't give a shit anymore.

Both books are littered with lies

Last year, Trump and DOGE gutted funding for thousands of USAID programs, including monitoring and containing New World screwworm in Central America. Now, the parasite has moved north and infected American livestock. "Efficiency."

Debunking Oz the Mentalist 👀 youtu.be/yhvzmIDdUVY?...

Power does not surrender itself out of decency. It tightens its grip and calls the cage “order.” If blue state Democrats refuse to fight GOP gerrymandering while democracy is dismantled in plain sight, they are not guardians of the people, they are caretakers of the machine. Break it.

Q: Why focus on all these projects right now with the war in Iran? Trump: This place was a disgusting place. You probably don't see dirt but I do. Such a stupid question. You can understand dirt better than I can. This is one of the worst reporters. A question like that is a disgrace to our country

WIRED (@wired.com) has gone ahead with publishing an extraordinarily inaccurate article about GrapheneOS. It presents a highly inaccurate history of the GrapheneOS project heavily based on fabrications from James Donaldson. WIRED failed to incorporate most of our responses to his inaccurate claims.
