ed zitron, a tech beat reporter, wrote an article about a recent paper that came out from goldman-sachs calling AI, in nicer terms, a grift. it is a really interesting article; hearing criticism from people who are not ignorant of the tech and have no reason to mince words is refreshing. it also brings up points and asks the right questions:
if AI is going to be a trillion dollar investment, what trillion dollar problem is it solving?
what does it mean when people say that AI will "get better"? what does that look like and how would it even be achieved? the article makes a point to debunk talking points about how all tech is misunderstood at first by pointing out that the tech it gets compared to the most, the internet and smartphones, were both created over the course of decades with roadmaps and clear goals. AI does not have this.
the american power grid straight up cannot handle the load required to run AI because it has not been meaningfully developed in decades. how are they going to overcome this hurdle (they aren't)?
people who are losing their jobs to this tech aren't being "replaced". they're just getting a taste of how little their managers care about their craft and how little they think of their consumer base. ai is not capable of replacing humans and there's no indication they ever will because...
all of these models use the same training data so now they're all giving the same wrong answers in the same voice. without massive and i mean EXPONENTIALLY MASSIVE troves of data to work with, they are pretty much as a standstill for any innovation they're imagining in their heads
Maher Zain - Hold My Hand (Thank You Allah: 2009)
I hear the flowers kinda crying loud, the breeze is sounding sad Oh no Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside Lost our way a long time ago Did we really turn that blind We don’t see that we keep hurting each other, no All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile on the new bloodied playgrounds Oh no How could we ignore heartbreaking crying sounds And we’re still going on Like nobody really cares And we just stopped feeling all the pain because Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun, the same round moon Why don’t we share the same love Tell me why not Life is shorter than most have thought
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
No matter how far I might be, I’m always gonna be your neighbor There’s only one small planet where to be, so I’m always gonna be your neighbor We cannot hide, we can’t deny That we’re always gonna be neighbors Your neighbor, my neighbor We’re neighbors
So, hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what we've left behind
Hold my hand There are many ways to do it right Hold my hand Turn around and see what have left behind Hold my hand, my friend We can save the good spirit of me and you For another chance And let’s pray for the beautiful world The beautiful world I share with you
"the world isn't kind" ok??? Much more importantly are you?????
seems blatantly obvious that authoritarian fascists mostly hate transgender people simply for the deliberate infertility involved in some medical transitions & yet some women whom the fascists want gestating all those future soldiers are just plain stupid enough to believe the fox is there to guard the henhouse. yeah yeah sure "defending women". btw show us your genitals if you want to participate in 7th grade hockey because we have to protect girls. maybe if you had more than five brain cells to rub together you would be capable of reasoning this one out: they want to ban abortion for the exact same reason they want to litigate being transgender out of existence and you are the definition of a useful idiot
Dear Supporter,
I hope this message finds you and your family in good health and high spirits. My name is Rakan Zaqout from Gaza.🍉 I am reaching out to seek your urgent help in spreading the word about our fundraising campaign. I lost both my home and my school, my parents lost their jobs too, due to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and we are facing catastrophic living conditions.💔
I kindly ask you to visit our campaign. Your support, whether through donating or sharing, will help us reach more people who can make a difference. Thank you for your continued support for the Palestinian cause. Your dedication brings us closer to freedom.🕊
Please note, our campaign has been verified by 90-ghost and aces-and-angels.☑
There gofundme:

I hope it could bring some help to them and give them visibility, even just a little.
You still can help by at least sharing their donation link and make them known at a more larger way than I could.
Even if you're short on money you still can do a lot to help, I am too in some difficulties financially but the minimal we can do is be aware of what's happening and help Palestinians from this nightmare, give them visibility by sharing and giving them even just 1 minute of our time to help them.
Any form of hate speech will be blocked or deleted and reported, we don't want pieces of shit or zionists to have their matter to say on people suffering from their hypocrisy and selfishness.
