From October 16, 2024:
Apple study exposes deep cracks in LLMs’ “reasoning” capabilities ↗︎
↳ Gee, you don’t say? But corporate hegemony is happy to replace us all with them regardless. Seriously, in education they’re proposing AI teach fully “on its own” — like that won’t cause problems at all… — added 7:04am on 16/10/24 ❧
Israel is turning northern Gaza into a killing cage ↗︎
↳ So they’re just straight up doing death camps now. — added 6:19am on 16/10/24 ❧
Chinese researchers break RSA encryption with a quantum computer ↗︎
↳ Really really lock up your SSH, I guess — and ed25519s aren’t safe from this either. Though this is only for 22-bit, so we’re not screwed yet. — added 6:14am on 16/10/24 ❧
From October 15, 2024:
Why couldn’t the PM just enjoy Kirribilli’s harbour views for another six months and then go property shopping? ↗︎
↳ Or, I don’t know, not buy exorbitant property on public moneys? Not be a filthy capitalist? Actually do something for labour in this country? Too much to ask apparently. — added 6:12pm on 15/10/24 ❧
Anti-Zionist beliefs ‘worthy of respect’, UK tribunal finds ↗︎
↳ Some sanity. — added 7:03am on 15/10/24 ❧
Peter Dutton has plenty to smile about as major poll gives him the lead ↗︎
↳ The working class in this country is being agitated by right wing bullshit as with the rest of the world, and while these polls are totally meaningless, we need an intervention to ensure the greens and socialists get the vote. — added 6:41am on 15/10/24 ❧
It’s not just a ‘teen social media ban’, it’s a national age verification scheme ↗︎
↳ As we discussed here on mind reader, it doesn’t stop there — it’s about tracking your social media use and connecting it to a national ID. It’s the slow creep of fascism. — added 6:38am on 15/10/24 ❧
UN Member Countries Condemn China’s Crimes Against Humanity ↗︎
↳ Do Israel next? … More empty words, too. — added 6:18am on 15/10/24 ❧
From October 14, 2024:
‘Totally illegal’: Trump escalates rhetoric on outlawing political dissent and criticism ↗︎
↳ Fascist. Fascists. — added 3:46pm on 14/10/24 ❧
UN says Israeli tanks burst into base, Israel gives different account ↗︎
↳ The western media hegemony is still pretending this psychopathic state is sane, and the governments are still sending weapons. — added 6:14am on 14/10/24 ❧
Sectoral Wage-Setting in California ↗︎
↳ Wow it’s almost like raising wages is completely independent of the fake bullshit of “the market”. Seriously, wages desperately need to rise — globally. — added 6:10am on 14/10/24 ❧
From October 13, 2024:
Young Chinese people are retiring in the countryside as China’s unemployment woes grate ↗︎
↳ It would almost sound idyllic – except “youth unemployment rate in August hit a new record of 18.8%” – so this is a major problem for subsistence under capitalism. — added 1:56pm on 13/10/24 ❧
Wildlife populations plunge 73% since 1970 ↗︎
↳ I’d like to get off this inhumane and deeply fucked ride the 1% have strapped us on. — added 1:52pm on 13/10/24 ❧
Renters in some cities forced to spend on average nearly $15,000 more a year on rent since the Covid pandemic ↗︎
↳ Fuck landlords, corporate developers, and the government for this. Leeches. We’ll never see a change to this either, while capitalist mega landlord Albo is at the helm. — added 8:31am on 13/10/24 ❧
Livestock is the single biggest emitter of methane ↗︎
↳ Factory farming, animal agriculture, and massified systems of food production are some of the most toxic, climate and ecology destroying, absolute nightmares of cruelty on this planet. If you consume animal products from these industries, don’t. — added 6:42am on 13/10/24 ❧
