My prediction - Trump will get bored of the war in Iran. He’ll make up a fake claimed ‘victory’ and leave the Iranian people with the son of the last ayatollah (because he never actually cared about them), leaving the world the exact same as it was before but a bit sh*tter.

A shot of a gorgeous apartment from a 1986 John Woo movie. It is pretty dated but somehow both stylish and cozy.
Mentally I’m here (1986 Hong Kong apartment from A Better Tomorrow)

"quality product" being a side-hustle to "surveil you for the government, oh and also for enemy governments, and corporations" shouldn't be a thing

But just, amazing that "we dont care if our customers hate us as long as they dont don't leave THIS time" is such a big common part of business nowadays. Everything's hostile and-or inconvenient.

It makes them seem untrustworthy and unreliable. It's amazing how nowadays that's just something brands are fine with so they can either surveil for fascist governments or so they can have a chance to earn 0.00000003% off you personally in Ad Revenue.
They ARE untrustworthy and unreliable, ofc

dark pattern in samsung privacy conditions where only one checkbox is actually that, and the rest are optional tracking shit, and the last one is 'I have read and agreed to all these\this' or some shit. I do not like it. All this shit just LOWERS TRUST with a brand.

Uk Labour's instagram account shares an image of Sir Kier Starmer standing in parliament saying "It is my duty to judge what is in Britain's national interest, and that is the judgement I made. I stand by it."
Sign of where things are going that in a shockingly competent move Labour's social media team are actually straight up promoting the fact that he had this falling out with Trump re the Iran war. The British right wing press and party establishments may have fucked up here methinks.

Whether that emotional attachment comes in the form of a parasocial relationship with a specific chatbot or in a fixation on the prospect of a longed-for technological solution for life's difficulties, I can't say because I'm not your therapist. I just know I'm not the one being "hysterical"

The fact that many thoughtful criticisms of AI on this platform are generally met not with equally thoughtful counterarguments but rather with hyperbole, accusations of bias, and other ad hominem attacks suggests that some LLM users have become emotionally attached to AIs in ways they can't admit

My sense is that AI skeptics are generally interpreted as believing the former when what we are usually doing is criticizing the latter. I'm not afraid to admit that LLMs Can Definitely Do Some Stuff. But I also don't think that weakens the argument that LLMs Can't Do Everything because I'm not 12.

"Tony Blair is apparently pissed off that his words came out."
Blair says Keir Starmer should be backing Trump's war in Iran - but does he want to be part of a conflict no one really understands
"the point or purpose" of?
Tony spent most of his time as envoy for the UN Middle East Quartet telling rooms full of extremely right wing cranks Israel needed to “tell its story better”, by which he meant “tell more absurd lies, more convincingly”. So yes, this crackpot shit is what he believes and has been pushing for years.
