  • Pasteurized milk includes remnants of H5N1 bird flu, U.S. officials say

    Jump

  • Actually yes its 100% on the conservative side now too. I know this because I know an insane die-hard MAGA Christian nationalist who ONLY drinks raw milk, they see pasteurization as weakening their manhoods and virility and shit.

  • Israel's 'Where's Daddy?' AI system helps target suspected Hamas militants when they're at home with their families, report says

    Jump

  • Really appreciating Israels SkyNet 100% speedrun here, some really impressive moves. However, I'm starting to wonder if this run passes the suspect test, I feel like you can't get past regulators so well in most cases without an exploit.

  • After the SORA AI reveal today I'm starting to see that luddites have a point. I don't think we'll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I've seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I've seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

    But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don't even know how to use a phone. I don't see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

  • Cameron urges US to aid Ukraine and not show ‘weakness displayed to Hitler’

  • Yup I like to hateread /r/conservative and one of their big posts was how Tucker was praising Putin's Moscow for having less crime and homelessness than the average American city. My dudes, the criminals and homeless are dying on the front. Not to mention if you called Putin "Sleepy" or some stupid shit you would end up falling through a window.

  • UNRWA staff accused by Israel sacked without evidence, chief admits | United Nations | The Guardian

  • My brother compared super pro-Zionism to mCarthyism and yup here it is. Don't even need proof, just fire away at random people you dislike.

    Giant successor to Hadron Collider could uncover secrets of 95% of the universe

    Jump

  • At this rate we will have colliders that encircle the entire planet like a super advanced ancient civilization from a videogame.

  • China tells WHO it has no 'unusual or novel diseases' amid spike in illness among children

    Jump

  • Yes of course China covered up COVID, however I believe that this actually probably is M. Pneumoniae as it's famous for spreading in schools amongst children as well as already resistant to many antibiotics because it has no cell wall.My one concern is that this could secretly be a human to human form of avian influenza, but there is absolutely no hiding a disease with a mortality rate on par with Ebola (30-50% or 18-30%- as much as Spanish Flu or the black death) for very long at all. COVID has around a 1% mortality rate and there were people posting videos of people dying in the streets on Chinese social media, if it's avian flue than there will be mass graves on an unheard of scale.
