Condemn the bigots. But the horrors of 7th Oct didn’t happen in a vacuum. It’s not “anti-Israel” to say so, nor is it “anti-Zionist”, let alone antisemitic—but how casually those three are sometimes elided. My column prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/64896/th…

TRUTH Over the last year or so I've been delving into Tory 'corruption' & cases of cronyism. There is so much that some days it's overwhelming & I feel I've let you down by not highlighting many of the stories. What you see on TV doesn't even touch the sides 😡 It disgusts me

Signal messenger will have username feature in next release (7.0). Great!! github.com/signalapp/Sign…

It's my old boss's birthday. Here's why I'm not celebrating.

US law requires you to suspend military assistance to any foreign country that is restricting, directly or indirectly, the delivery of US humanitarian aid. Until you do that, you’re not only failing to “pull out every stop” — you’re failing to follow US law you swore to enforce.

Gemini is apparently told your Google account age and will answer questions w/the appropriate caution. Here it is refusing to help someone with C++ because they’re he’s under 18, and advanced C++ is a danger to a young mind. gemini.google.com/share/23803238… From news.ycombinator.com/item?id=393834…

GenAI is starting to look like Typhoid Mary. Last May, the celebrated 54-year-old LexisNexis touted hallucination-free legal citations produced by Generative AI. Instead, it is making up cases — from 2025 and 2026!!! Talk about torching one’s reputation on the altar of GenAI. —

This is gorgeous. Any linguists know if it's actually accurate? And if so how it evolved? Are there similar rules for eg French? I dimly recall rules re when adjective goes after noun but not semantic

WHAT?!!! 👇🤬

💥 New paper 💥 We discover a form of covert racism in LLMs that is triggered by dialect features alone, with massive harms for affected groups. For example, GPT-4 is more likely to suggest that defendants be sentenced to death when they speak African American English. 🧵

stop ✋ be so real with me right now.. you guys did NOT try to make polyamory into an optimization problem
