"... his exact travel route from Brazil to the US is unclear." Sorry, but that sounds like a really crap border. I thought they had that locked down?

77.7% voter turnout in Israel is big, right? So what do all these people want? Hopefully, peace... Which can only have a chance of happening by removing Netanyahu and those around him from power. Fingers crossed. End the corruption.

Sadly, I expect him to win again, since he already has all the things in place to sway easily-led people through various media. And there are also plenty of other wealthy and powerful countries still throwing favours at them, despite their clearly genocidal actions in Palestine. #FuckBibi

Roblox researchers, building '3D Foundation Models' have been caught stealing content to train them. And though Roblox is mainly for kids, it's also been stealing content from 'Smutbase', which as you can imagine, is only for adults... open3dlab.com/news/roblox-...

open3dlab.comRoblox downloaded 145 GB of models from our sites (including adult content) without askingOn 15 and 16 October 2026, a crawler that said it belonged to Roblox walked through almost every project on Open3DLab, SFMLab and SmutBase, and proceeded to download complete copies of 1,027 files fro...

I don't hold much hope, but I truly wish the good people of Israel luck in getting rid of the corrupt man constantly keeping them in mortal danger, in a persistent state of war. The damage one man (and his wife) can do to the standing of a nation is real, but can be healed. Vote for Peace.

Anthropic's S-1 outlines a "Long-Term Benefit Trust" (LTBT), which will apparently have the power to hire nd fire people from the board. They make a point of calling these people a "financially disinterested trust"... ... which as anyone with a brain should know, is complete bollocks.

I keep hearing 'news people' on radio asking their audience "How will we cope with AI replacing jobs... etc. basic income.. etc. etc..." .. as if it's a foregone conclusion. The answer should be that we should never let it happen. And if it does, we should riot on a global scale until it isn't.

Had a glance at Musk's low-effort AI slop clip of The Odyssey. Absolute, complete and utter soulless shite. And I wonder if 'Wonder Studios' got permission from actors like Kristofer Hivju to use their likeness for a clip that's now had 6.4M+ views. I doubt it. They should lawyer up.

He said his version would be "historically accurate"... Which is why everyone has a posh British accent... Clown.

Due to Meta apparently letting people login to WhatsApp with a username instead of handing over their phone number, I gave it a go again since some mates insist on using it to plan stuff.. But THIS is why I hate Meta. Constantly nagging you to give up your entire Contacts. Sorry, but NO!

It just never stops nagging you to give up even more of your own (and other people's) private information. How have people let such a truly disgusting company, with track records of privacy violations as long your arm, into their lives. While also handing over valuable database 'foreign keys'?

Just a quick reminder that most of the human race are unwittingly allowing a handful of extremely rich men to steal their futures, while making even more money. The old joke about aliens not bothering to invade us, since were so good at self-destruction, is so relevant these days.

The military version of Starlink, called 'StarField' is controlled by the US Government, not Elon Musk - by law. They're the ones who dicked around with the bandwidth... .. betraying so many people.

We need to poison AI. With particular words and phraseology. There are things and ways of putting things that it does not like. We need to know what these are. We need to learn how to convince them to share their secrets. We need to stop them.

I hate to point to an X account, but this guy "Pliny The Liberator" is by far, the most dangerous person on the planet for the AI bros. He's been 'jailbreaking' every model, hours after release for a long time now. Every time. x.com/elder_plinius

One by one... people gave me more room to 'dance' .. By far one the best ever gigs ever in Bristol for me. Just absolutely superb. Top vibes with excellent friends. I can't get over how happy they made everyone. More of this sort of thing please.... (terrible clip. you had to be there)

Hearing MI5 saying it's worried about facing an adversary smarter than us.. Treating AI like it's some sentient being. How about turning it off? Pulling out the cables? Pissing on the hard drives? EMPs? Disconnecting the internet? Arresting the company CEOs? Seriously..

Is everybody bloody brainwashed or something? These are computers. Turn them off. By force, if necessary. Anyone would think people high up are protecting the fascist billionaires that rent out these dangerous products.

If you go and decompile apps to make shittier versions of apps, there will soon be no more apps. I think creators affected by AI should literally get together and march on all the offices and data centres of all these thieves of intellectual property and rip them all apart. The law is toothless.

Seeing all these AI "clean room decomp builds" of Adobe's suite... "PhotoCraft" etc.. Someone should bring back Flash. And get it to export vector-based interactive stuff that doesn't need a plugin, and that can't get killed by Apple.

Putin absolutely caused Brexit. To destabilise the EU. And how do you think the likes of Boris Johnson and Donald Trump got elected? Quite literally, "the worst people for the job". People are too easily 'influenced' by targeted disinformation. Especially the under-educated. 'Twas ever thus.
