They’re also a regime mouthpiece now

Fixed, sorry

Correct. Claude hallucinated that there would be a showing of the movie at 7.20pm on the night this image was taken.

This is also entirely intentional.

You’re committing the blunder of alienating your allies.

It was “STEM bros” that continued to champion generative AI and make it possible for it to become the planet-sized threat it has turned into now. It was “STEM bros” that consistently belittled the concerns of those in the arts and the humanities when they were warning against what their creations were doing. It was “STEM bros” that kept telling everyone they were making a big deal out of nothing, that the environmental effects were overblown, that it’s a whole lot of fearmongering.

They are not allies to those of us, in STEM and in other disciplines alike, that have been trying to hold the line against generative AI from the start. For them to turn against it now that it’s suddenly infringing on their careers is self-serving and while I do not begrudge their support I will sure as hell not genuflect and thank them for it.

Chalamet’s Wonka was actually surprisingly brilliant. I wasn’t even going to watch the movie, they just happened to be showing it at the airport while I was on a long layover so I figured what the hell. I’m really glad I did

Yes that’s why I posted a screenshot and not a direct link.

You’re a dude, I take it.

Every Twitter post has a Grok button that can’t be removed. Just because the logo is there doesn’t mean the image is AI-generated. It’s literally a screenshot I took off of my phone display.

Because like I said, they’re both sides of the same coin. The vote was unanimous – everyone voted for him.

Straight from the horse’s mouth:

Here he is claiming that a one-state solution would mean the end of Israel, and he supports Israel

Here he is saying that Hamas “terrorists” “attacked Israel” and repeating the “Israel has the right to defend itself” talking point

Here he is vowing to continue to support “defensive arms” shipments to Israel, a class of weapon he continued to very conveniently leave out of his whitewashing attempts to reduce arms sales to Israel later

Bernie Sanders also voted to confirm notorious right-winger and staunch pro-Israel Republican Marco Rubio as the US Secretary of State.

But the way he talks and acts, I strongly doubt that’s his opinion

Then why is he constantly spouting it in public where everyone can hear him and be convinced that yes, that is his opinion that the Palestinians wouldn’t be genocided if they just rolled over and let Israel take everything from them

And you can’t draw any conclusions from that.

Course you can. The conclusion is that he’s a Zionist.

and something should be done about it. Back then it was reallocate the money that goes towards Israel and give it to the people in Gaza (as humanitarian aid)

The thing that should be done about it is to call for the dissolution and revocation of recognition for the Zionist identity. He’s not doing that, he’s not coming even close to that or to expressing his support for the Palestinian people to have control over (all of) their own land. Lip service is what he’s doing to maintain the illusion that he’s “leftist”, and lip service doesn’t do a damn thing.

he started saying many years ago, the US shouldn’t give a nickel to Israel. And he called out the war, Netanyahu, all the woman and children dying…?

None of that is relevant when he keeps qualifying it with “but Israel has the right to defend itself” – no it fucking doesn’t. Israel doesn’t even have the right to exist. It’s just a colonial outpost on stolen Palestinian land.

I’m not blaming him at all for this? I’m glad he’s taking this stand.

I’m saying he’s been ineffective (and also outright disappointing, like his pro-Zionist stance) in bringing about any kind of useful change because the establishment keeps him (and AOC, and probably eventually Zohran Mamdani too, as much as I’m loath to admit it) around as a sort of controlled opposition/progressive figurehead to show that they’re not all that bad when they absolutely in fact are just the other side of the same coin.

New York City Public Schools, the largest school system in the country, has banned student-facing generative artificial intelligence tools in classrooms through eighth grade for this school year, adopting one of the most aggressive AI policies in the nation.

The moratorium follows intense pressure from parents and other advocates, who urged New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) to enact a two-year ban on AI in classrooms.

It also comes amid a more widespread backlash to technology that has spurred screen-time limits in dozens of school systems, including Los Angeles Unified, the nation’s second-largest public school district. Last year, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) banned cellphones from the state’s public schools, following similar actions in dozens of other states.

Mamdani’s plan calls for a one-year pause that he said can be extended or amended, depending on how the first year goes.

“This moratorium is a commitment to getting the future right,” Mamdani said during a news conference Wednesday morning. “Kids need to learn to think for themselves, they need to work alongside their peers, they need to learn how to ask better questions, and they need to learn what it feels like to not know the answer.”

The new policy also seeks to tighten screen-time limits for the youngest learners in the school district. The city is recommending 30-minute screen-time limits for students in third to fifth grade and 45 minutes for sixth to eighth grades.

Mamdani said the city will also disable AI components in more than 38 technology platforms that students have previously used. If AI capabilities cannot be removed from a program, the school district will stop using it.

Meanwhile, for older students, the city will pilot five “rigorously vetted” educational AI programs in some high schools, and introduce two 45-minute AI literacy modules designed to teach teens about AI-related bias, risks and ethical considerations.

I really want to crosspost this to c/fuckcars

It’s Gal Gadot. She’s Israeli, served in the IOF, and has consistently been reaffirming her Zionist positions for however long she’s been in the spotlight. She didn’t just do a heel turn, she was born a heel and then she sprouted a couple more heels since.

You’re telling me nuclear scientist Dr. Christmas Jones has an OF?

Tsk look at this tryhard over here using his brain to do actually cool and interesting things instead of just feeding invaluable manuscripts into the book-eating machine /s
