The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming, and perversely altering history From Bloody Sunday to RHI, Gerry Adams, Bobby Sands, and Michael Stone, Elon Musk’s Grokipedia is spreading dangerous lies about Northern Ireland

The world’s most unreliable encyclopaedia: Elon Musk’s AI Wikipedia alternative is dangerously distorting the truth about Northern Ireland, defaming & perversely altering history. It smears Troubles victims, lauds a paramilitary force & libels politicians.

Stock market tanking again today and oil *way* up. What's crazy is Trump could've just rode out the current regression to the mean on inflation, combined with an apparent productivity boom. Instead, did the opposite of econ 101: kicked out workers, reduced immigration, started wars of choice.

The current American economy like "Gas prices? Up. Tech prices? Up. Food prices? Oh buddy you better believe they're up too. Also weve funneled a trillion dollars into a tech nobody likes and we're burning 1 Billion a day on war. By the way have you considered developing a gambling habit."

How many more times can people see democrats vote like this before they realize a lot of elected democrats actually agree with trump and support a lot of what he does. They just don't like that he's so "vulgar". They prefer polite nazis.

Iran: look, it's simple. We literally just paint the silhouette of a plane on the ground. We literally just nail together some boxes in the shape of a tank. We literally just pull looney tunes shit. Their AI will make them spend $100 million to destroy $5 of arts and crafts.

Even if you are lucky enough to have legal representation, which in immigration must be funded by yourself (or pro bono counsel) how do your lawyers rep you in this system? Not to mention how does your family find you? not due process

once you pay careful attention to empire, thereβ€˜s very little reason to deny that conservatives are as interested in race as fascists were uniquely supposed to be; nor is there any longer much reason to deny that they were were quite happy to endorse extreme violence

If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countriesβ€”including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

The Anarchist Concept of the Revolution Luigi Fabbri The Anarchist Concept of the Revolution Chapter from β€œDittatura e Rivoluzione” 1921 Translation by JoΓ£o Black and Matthew Crossin (2021)

"Violence is one thing, government authority is another, whether dictatorial or not. If it is true, in fact, that all governmental authorities rely on the use of violence, it would be inaccurate and erroneous to say that all β€œviolence” is an act of authority, so that if the former is necessary…1/3

This research has made me accept that I'm not only documenting Black history as it relates to media formats, but I'm also living inside Black history as it relates to the Black Midwest. I'm not *only* researching but I'm applying first-hand knowledge and experience with these documents.

She’d Never Changed Her Gender Marker. Kansas Invalidated Her License Anyway. β€” Assigned A trans Kansas resident recently changed her name but not her gender marker on her license, fearing what Kansas may do if she did. The Kansas DMV still flagged her ID.

This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.
