Also, in the age of online communications, when information can be limitlessly copied, it’s impossible for authoritarians to destroy information they disapprove of. It is possible, however, for them to make it difficult to find by flooding the world with vast quantities of plausible-looking alternatives to it, making it hard to identify what is real. Before LLMs, doing this at the sort of scale that would have been effective was prohibitively laborious.
That sounds really… economically anxious
I wonder how long until they quietly resume running them
I love Weimar America as much as I love Weimar Germany. ICE can have jazz, rock’n’roll, the beat poets, David Lynch, Prince, Bikini Kill, Calvin & Hobbes, etc. when they take them from my cold, dead fingers
The 3.5” disk was designed as a consumer product by Sony, whose industrial design is second to none. (Compare the 5¼ “ and 8” floppies, which were designed by IBM engineers and only intended for use by technical specialists.)
She’ll be the next DNC-backed vice presidential candidate, because big tent or something.
The deal may now involve the US invading Greenland, specifically to neutralise NATO and hand Europe over to Russia.
Why do Lithuania and Latvia even have a data cable between them that runs through international waters?
Brooklyn originally wasn’t technically part of New York.
He prefers to call himself a “modeliser”

You know how open-hardware gadgets often have a statement like “trans rights are human rights” or “black lives matter” printed on the circuit board? One wonders whether ModRetro have similar statements, only fascist/reactionary, on their boards or chip dies. Perhaps some Crusader motto in Latin, or the chapter and verse of a particularly harsh Bible passage, or just some 14s and 88s scattered all over the place.
In 2027, Nigel Farage will almost certainly be PM. It beggars belief to think that he won’t abruptly cancel the deal, uttering something about “hardworking taxpayers”, even if breaking it off and leaving a cohort of students high and dry will ultimately cost the UK more.
This one looks like an uglier version of Optimus. Not sure if it can be any worse to use, though.
Some supermarkets sell packages of 3 labelled as “Traffic light”
His whole deal, and the entirety of his appeal to his supporters, is being the asshole they wish they could get away with being, so saying something gracious would just be having lost it.
Given that the Republicans just voted to allow Trump to unilaterally wage war in Venezuela, I have my doubts.
