  • CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant

  • This is how you get guillotines buddy. Like this is precisely how you get guillotines. Not to mention:

    Karp, who himself holds humanities degrees

    Which did nothing for him, if he thinks that AI can do philosophy.

  • Court in Hungary declares German anti-fascist Maja T. guilty

    Jump

  • Germany's Federal Constitutional Court, however, ruled that this trial should not have taken place in Hungary, referring to the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (EU) and the associated ban on inhumane treatment.

    Yup, you're right, I should have read more carefully.

  • Court in Hungary declares German anti-fascist Maja T. guilty

    Jump

  • I can just as well write:

    Considering they're being held in Hungary, ruled by a protofascist illeberal regime, for antifascist activity, their politics are almost certainly linked to their poor treatment.

    The two are obviously obviously linked of course, I mean I am not trying to split hairs here. They are being mistreated for being a non-binary antifascist, the two are indivisible in their case. What I'm actually saying is that I would hope that in Germany the more universalist issue of treating all prisoners with dignity would weigh the most.

    edit: I stand corrected, see below.

  • Maja T. regularly complained about inadequate hygiene conditions, poor food, extreme temperatures in winter and summer as well as poor lighting and ventilation in the cell, among other things. They were continuously held in isolation and in summer 2025 attempted unsuccessfully to force better prison conditions by going on a 40-day hunger strike.

    And instead it's their gender identity that the German courts are focusing on when it comes to extradition and human rights? SMH.

    edit: I stand corrected, see below.

  • AOC: It’s our task to figure out how to claw back what has essentially supercharged this agency into becoming a relentless domestic paramilitary that is also a blank check to Palantir...

    Why a Palestinian protest in Tel Aviv exposed the limits of Israeli solidarity

  • Russian spy spacecraft have intercepted Europe’s key satellites, officials believe

    Jump

  • Oh yes absolutely. I was not trying to justify the design choices, just trying to explain their internal rationale.

  • Epstein's paedophile ring did not see the world as left versus right but Zionism versus goyim

    Jump

  • This guy was making sure to tick every antisemitic trope in the book.

    Timothy Snyder made a great point recently about how in the post-Trump Maga landscape, the Vance camp could take a hard antisemitic turn as a way to consolidate itself by purging Miller.

    I wouldn't at all be surprised if the whole Epstein saga is used as the "stab in the back" myth to also cut the trumpists losses with Israel. The MTG crowd is already taking this course, not because of any kind of solidarity to Palestinian liberation of course.

    Edit: and who would be targetted first? Progressive jews of course.

    Dangerous times, very dangerous.

  • You're describing drone warfare in space. Neat..

  • My understanding is that in space systems, generally robustness trumps everything else, so old stable versions of everything are preferred. So it's generally a very conservative software stack and process.

    And indeed even for a pendulum swing, it hasn't been anywhere near as dramatic as the anti-legalization moral panic discourse would suggest.

  • Prohibition just gives power to the smugglers and the enforcers. Imagine if all consumer drugs and related shit was just legalized across the hemisphere. No more chartels, drug war, drug running, drug police. Just taxes, public health interventions and regulatory enforcement. Canada took the first step with cannabis and guess what, society hasn't collapsed.

  • Israeli Military Found Gaza Health Ministry Death Toll Was Accurate. Will These Deniers Admit It?

  • The problem with this framing is that it still places Israeli authorities at the position of arbiter of truth.

  • I didn't write "common sense" to imply it doesn't need to be explained.

    I wrote it to mean that once explained, it clearly is impossible to refute because it's common sense.

    My comment was not adversarial.
