  • Pakistan claims it has ‘credible intelligence’ India will strike within 36 hours

    Jump

  • Border disputes (mainly Kashmir) worsened by the friction between a Muslim-majority Pakistan and a Hindu-majority India when both are led by increasingly nationalist governments, basically.

  • Confidence in Trump's handling of the U.S. economy plummets, new polls show

    Jump

  • Trump imposes tariffs on uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands near Antarctica

    Jump

  • He has statutory emergency authority which can be checked by Congress if abused, except, what Congress?

    (Also the tariffs are enforced by CBP, an executive agency.)

  • US prosecutors to seek death penalty for Luigi Mangione

    Jump

  • Drone warfare is politically agnostic. If it can be used by a Luigi against a healthcare CEO, it can be used by far-right extremists against progressive politicians, pride parades, or Black churches. I'm not very jazzed to live in the world of Slaughterbots.

  • Might be your settings. When I flip the front page to "Active" most of the posts have hundreds of comments (though I prefer setting it to "Top Six Hours").

  • RFK Jr. Suggests Letting Bird Flu Spread

    Jump

  • In retrospect, I think the rise of smartphone-based, algorithm-driven social media circa 2012 will be seen as the information-age equivalent of lead poisoning that quietly brainrotted society. It greatly increased the power and reach of disinformation and radicalizing propaganda while destroying the ability of mainstream news sources to moderate or even alert people to the damage being done. There's a staggering gap in attitudes between people who get their news from social media apps vs. newspapers or even cable TV. And so much of the maliciousness is below the surface, distributed across millions of unique newsfeeds and "for you" pages that the public writ large has very little insight into. If some shell company were airing neonazi recruitment ads on national television, people would be shocked and outraged, but slip it into the feeds of vulnerable people and you can poison an entire generation with hardly anyone noticing until it's too late.

  • OpenAI declares AI race “over” if training on copyrighted works isn’t fair use

    Jump

  • To be fair, that's all they have to go on. If a picture's worth a thousand words, how many pages is a lifetime (or even a childhood) of sight and sound?

  • Russia gifts meat grinders to mothers of soldiers killed in Ukraine for Women’s Day

    Jump

  • Homer Simpson irl

    Jump

  • I think I read that brains like these are basically normal in terms of structure and number of neurons, just compressed by the extra fluid pressure.

  • Russia gifts meat grinders to mothers of soldiers killed in Ukraine for Women’s Day

    Jump

  • It had been crossposted to TheOnion community on another instance, but the story is real.

  • People are using Super Mario to benchmark AI now

    Jump

  • I feel like a good test of any supposed AGI would be to hook it up to a feed of a classic 3D platformer like Mario 64, give it input control, and see how long it takes to progress through the game. We're seeing sparks of this with Claude Plays Pokemon, but any self-respecting superintelligence (or even human-equivalent) should be more than capable of learning the control scheme, navigating the 3D environment, solving puzzles, and generally playing through as competently as any 10-year-old seeing the game for the first time.

  • Can Trumpism be defeated? Absolutely. Here’s how

    Jump

  • I voted for Sanders in the 2016 primary. In hindsight, he would have been obliterated, McGovern-style. Clinton and Biden treated him with kid gloves, but in a general election all of his questionable past -- his unemployment, his wife's involvement with that college financing thing, his honeymoon in the USSR, the rape essay -- would have come out and been hammered relentlessly by Republicans (and a good chunk of Democrats).

  • How big is lemmy nowadays

    Jump

  • I feel like doing that automatically would just encourage instances to defederate if their larger communities didn't like the cut of another instance's jib. The culture clash would be harder to tolerate if content were mixed by default like that.

    Maybe an easier way for end users to do it themselves? Like making a feed of multiple communities under one topic.

  • Hypocritical Oligarchic Rulers

    Jump

  • I like Reich, but this is dumb. They never railed about bureaucrats "destroying government," they railed about them destroying healthcare, education, the economy, etc. -- and they didn't even give a shit about those things, they were just cynical covers to defend privatization of those areas. Destroying "Shrinking" government has been their stated goal since at least Grover Norquist, and they love that it's being done now (even in a way that actually does destroy healthcare, education, and the economy).

  • The List of Trump's Forbidden Words That Will Get Your Paper Flagged at NSF

  • something something Tiananmen Square

  • Apple reportedly excited to power Apple Intelligence with DeepSeek

    Jump

  • I could see them maybe using a custom version of Deepseek for that second tier. Could be a boon for them if the inference costs are a lot lower.

  • When a country is ruled by a dictator, does it matter which party he belongs to?

  • It's actually pretty rare for dictatorships to have only one legal party. Even North Korea is nominally a multi-party state. Such minor parties are just token controlled opposition ofc, but they serve to give a flimsy "democratic" veneer.

    America's trajectory rn is aiming closer to the illiberal/managed democracy of Hungary under Viktor Orban, where there are true opposition parties with an actual chance at winning, but the media, government, and electoral system is strongly biased against them.
