Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
What the fuck why does someone have to pay for that what the fuck are we doing here?
Reading the article, the state conducted an autopsy, but Kaepernick is funding a second private autopsy because he doesn't trust the state and wants to help
Fascist gets sacrificed for the fascist narrative and it was openly done by a fascist..
The entirety of social media and all traditional media loses their shit.
A very obvious murder takes place
The entirety of social media is celebrating this death except for us, and the official government case might as well just be “Who cares?”
Ah I see that makes sense. Whole thing sounds fishy af.
paying for a second, non-state-ordered autopsy, because the state in question is mississippi
Mississippi cops and coroner did a coverup and ruled it a suicide
am*rica
Mississippi goddamn
Love to see other rich athletes or entertainers who talk about being progressive do the same. Colin has a well earned axe to grind already, maybe Kimmel could start writing some checks for others who got fired for the same reason but arent already rich and famous? Glad somebody with money and a mouth puts the two together in a good way, sucks it had to be a guy who was already raked over the coals
Would you change your mind if I told you that he's currently shilling for a company trying to bring AI into schools?
Land of contrasts.
Classic Amerika
Everything is incoherent
Yes it would and did.
he's currently shilling for a company trying to bring AI into schools
Fucking wut? I'm going back to school to finish out my engineering degree and every single class has a giant multi-paragraph disclaimer about use of AI as scholastic dishonesty that will not be treated lightly. I mean, good, but wtf does he mean? Like elementary and high schools? What happens when these kiddos get to college after they're completely dependent on some LLM to even think for them and the professor is like: "nah dawg"? They just flunk the fuck out because they can't generate a single coherent thought independently? What the fuck is the end-game of this whole "AI" crap?
Even viewing it from a capitalist lens, I don't understand what the goal is. So "AI" becomes so smart and self-recursive that human labor is arbitrary. OK. Then what? You live in capitalism. People have to buy your widgets. If nobody has any money to buy your widgets because "AI" put everyone out of work, then all you have is a warehouse full of "AI"-generated widgets that nobody can buy. So now what? I'm not being facetious. Seriously, now what? How does this work out in your favor? How does this work out in anyone's favor?
Is AI selling AI-generated goods to other AI? WTF is the end-goal of this exercise?
I am currently doing my CS degree and I have professors who basically dont really teach the material anymore because "you should ask chatGPT for questions"
Unfortunately LLM policies are often determined on a class-by-class basis. I have met lots of educators and education administrators across k-12 and university who are pro-LLM usage. They typically don't understand how it works, and/or believe it currently can do better than it can.
I have had undergrad students who use chatgpt without question, thinking it's totally fine (despite my syllabus policy), and k-12 students who won't touch it with a 10-ft pole before I cautioned them against it. Lots of individual variation and credulity.
Sadly my institution just wants you to cite your use of ai. Upsetting.
Unfortunately this is still better in terms of disclosure than in industry where executives will just feed company secrets to Altman even if there's an internal LLM built just to prevent that, and the BS generator still creates BS sometimes. I'm sure there are plenty of students who just vibe code without having a BS filter (faculty and staff encouraging LLM usage isn't inherently problematic IMHO, but when they do this to offload the work of actually teaching, it really doesn't help...) and it's only going to make their lives harder.
That’s next quarter’s problem
It's a major push. The AI companies are trying to do what Apple and Microsoft did and make kids dependant on their tech.
he can be good and bad at the same time
Kaep is the best. Talk about someone willing to fall on the sword for their principles.
Absolutely needed after one of the coroners was commenting while they were still taking the kid's body away
In an interview with the Mississippi Free Press, Bolivar County Deputy Coroner Murray Roark said he assisted fellow Deputy Coroner Dwayne Proctor in examining Reed’s body. Roark stated that he saw no signs of broken arms or legs.
“I saw no broken limbs,” he said, declining to elaborate further at the time. “I don’t think I should probably discuss this any further than that. My opinion is that it was self-done, and I have reasons for that.”
It's a police investigation what?
"It's the 20s and lynchings by state-backed KKK-adjacent groups are going strong in the US South."
Other commenters have explained, but the police in this case aren't even trying to hide their true colors and trying to pass it off as a suicide
