At this point I’m sure they’re just entering shit into a chatbot to spit out these posts. I’ve been noticing the prominence of the em dash in a lot of them

Having been to the Orlando theme parks several times in the last 12 months, I can attest that I see fewer international tourists than ever before. Usually there are tons of Brazilians and Brits but they’ve been relatively scarce

I think if a carrier sinks we would see total nuclear annihilation. USians wouldn’t be able to cope with the humiliation and the death drive is too great

School shootings are allowed to continue to make society more accepting of private (especially religious) schools and homeschooling with the goal of dismantling public education. This is of course a multi-pronged attack on public services and public sector employment generally where higher than average rates of unionization and women and BIPOC are employed.

There was a stat that was something like 25% of missionaries were wittingly or unwittingly informants for State Dept or CIA

 

URGENT: SEND SOLAR GENERATORS & PANELS TO CUBAN HOSPITALS!

Trump’s fuel blockade is starving Cuba of power, crippling hospitals and schools, and attempting to induce a famine.

We are rushing solar generators and panels to our neighbors 90 miles away so that hospitals can keep their doors open and their lights on. Your donation helps ensure patients receive the essential care they need.

This crisis does not have to exist. It was created by the Trump Administration and should be reversed immediately.

Until these cruel policies end, as neighbors, we must act and send aid.

Help us stop the Trump Administration from creating famine in Cuba.

Donate now. Send power. Save lives.

Please do not write “Cuba” in donation comments or on the memo line of checks. Simply write “Urgent Aid.”

To donate by check:
Make check payable to: The People's Forum
On memo line write: “Urgent Aid” (Do not write Cuba!)
Mail to: The People's Forum, 320 W 37th St, New York, NY 10018

All donations are tax-deductible.

Let Cuba Live. Act Now.

Turn off the auto-dubbing if it sounds weird.

It’s a TikTok video originally.

Breathe easy, people! This whole thing was just a couple of guys who died of suicide. No one else was really involved and evil died with them.

Start an anti-tech company jihad

In 2026, countries that want to win the trade war have a unique historical possibility: They could repeal their “anticircumvention” laws, which make it illegal—a felony, in many cases—to modify devices and services without permission from their manufacturers.

US tech giants (and giant US companies that use tech) have used digital locks to amass a vast hoard of ill-gotten wealth. In 2026, the first country bold enough to raid that hoard gets to transform hundreds of billions in US rents into hundreds of millions in domestic profits that launch its domestic tech sector into a stable orbit—and the remaining hundreds of billions will be reaped by all of us, everyone in the world (including Americans who buy gray-market jailbreaking tools from abroad), as a consumer surplus.

 

Basically the cash burn rate for inference is much higher than reported and the media’s focus on training obfuscates it. All of the companies involved hide what the actual revenues are and if they even cover (or are trending towards covering) running costs of the models.

Ed Zitron with FT attempt to derive what those actual numbers are since they’re all over the place but cannot confirm hardly anything. It seems that at best revenues are 2/3 cash burn rate but are more like 1/2 and this is without considering the massive obligations that OpenAi is committing to.

 

The article gives no indication as to how the model works (other neural networks) so it could be a fluke especially since it is not physics based.

The arstechnica piece has this at the bottom:

“It’s not immediately clear why the GFS performed so poorly this hurricane season,” Lowry wrote. “Some have speculated the lapse in data collection from DOGE-related government cuts this year could have been a contributing factor, but presumably such a factor would have affected other global physics-based models as well, not just the American GFS.”
