Who knew that by encouraging the ethnic cleansers, giving them a blank check for their ethnic cleansing, defending them from retaliation, and getting angry at anyone with even the softest criticism about what they're doing, would make them do it on a much larger scale right away again?

Trump wants some new judges, so Senator Blumenthal asks them a few very basic questions to see if they are independently thinking individuals, or they are selected for their blind loyalty to Trump.

Their answers are striking.

This is confirmation that most of us are normal, decent people. It's the freaks on the fringe, the Immoral Minority, who got all the attention.

An excellent article by Jean-Christophe Bélisle-Pipon on OpenAI's reaction to the Tumbler Ridge tragedy:

OpenAI’s safety pledges in the wake of Tumbler Ridge aren’t AI regulation — they’re surveillance

https://theconversation.com/openais-safety-pledges-in-the-wake-of-tumbler-ridge-arent-ai-regulation-theyre-surveillance-278364

"True AI regulation asks whether a model might facilitate or amplify harmful ideation through its interaction patterns. It asks how the system is built, what it’s tested for and what obligations attach to its deployment.

The current arrangement asks none of these questions. Instead, it builds a pipeline from private AI interactions to law enforcement, administered by a corporation, governed by proprietary policy.

I call this the surveillance substitution: a governance vacuum gets filled not with democratic regulation, but with corporate surveillance of users. It is not regulation of AI. It is regulation of the people who use AI, conducted by the AI company itself, with the police as the endpoint."

Le guet-apens de néonazis ciblait un militant… d’extrême droite radicale

Quatre suspects ont été mis en examen et écroués pour tentative de meurtre en bande organisée pour avoir projeté de se débarrasser d’un autre militant nationaliste. Deux d’entre eux étaient déjà impliqués dans un lynchage, cette fois, d’un militant antifasciste.
