Your political commentariat will watch content like this then still determine that the Green Party are antisemitic for labelling people like this genocidal witch as being racists for their depraved views.
I actually think Sam Altman is one of the most evil people to have ever lived and that every day he is allowed to walk freely despite the crimes that he has enabled is a failure of western political leadership.
Getting real tired of the Surprised Pikachu routine this guy does.
Wow, AI got so good at hacking that we can’t keep up? You “no longer think we’ll be able to patch all the bugs”?? Who could have predicted this???
Many people! For decades! Including Altman himself! He said he was “not optimistic that any of this will work” when it comes to security measures to contain superintelligent AI.
He said that in 2015, just before founding OpenAI and then spending a decade straight driving this technology to the dangerous and unstable place that we’re in today.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff
Lula now has a >99% chance of winning the Brazilian election!
Congratulations to him and to the country of Brazil!
Happening now: Netanyahu seems to have lost control of the IDF as the Israeli military has refused to carry out his orders to escalate conflict with Iran.
אני מגבה באופן מוחלט את הרמטכ״ל על עמידתו על חובתו המקצועית. אסור לאפשר שום מהלך צבאי שאין מאחוריו צורך ביטחוני ברור, תכלית אסטרטגית ותוכנית פעולה אחראית.
כשאזרחי ישראל ילכו אל הקלפי ביום שלישי הקרוב עליהם לזכור זאת: נתניהו מהווה איום ביטחוני על ישראל. הוא אינו מהסס להקריב את חיי ילדינו לשם הישרדותו ערב בחירות - את זה צה״ל מנסה לבלום.
ביטחון ישראל נתון בידיו של דרג מדיני מושחת, אנשים בלתי כשירים ומטורפים שלא מהססים להקריב את ביטחון ישראל כדי לשמור על הכיסא.
אנחנו ננצח. ואנחנו נחליף אותם ונחזיר את ישראל לדרך הביטחון והאחריות.
Disgraceful anti-bald propaganda. The latest nasty work of the hirsute supremacy. We live in really dark times #baldiesunite
Socialism is the belief that Amazon workers shouldn’t need to ask permission to urinate while Jeff Bezos makes their salary each minute on the back of the work they are putting in to expand a business that wouldn’t have grown beyond a single book store had Bezos not hired anyone.
Imagine how much it must suck ass to be a member of the far-right in the UK.
You’ve spent years convincing yourself that Reform UK is an aligned government in waiting just for them to become a neoliberal shill party for boomers.
You told yourself Restore would be electable just for them to top out at 3%.
During the most intense period of right-wing cultural dominance in 21st century Western history, Labour clung onto power the entire time and is now restoring the two party status quo. If an election were held tomorrow they would probably win it and be able to govern an another five years.
The Americanised right-wing that once created the red mirage illusion is utterly crumbling, Trump 2.0 has turned out to be a hideous warmongering disaster that will result in Democrat dominance in the USA and the end of the right-wing cultural moment.
There is nothing coming in the near future either. The British youth are overwhelmingly progressive, it’s only going to get worse when the boomers die in the coming couple of decades.
What a depressing, devastating reality. I would feel bad but they 100% deserve it.

The existence of Nate Sliver implies the existence of Nate Bronze, Nate Gold and maybe even Nate Platinum.
Extremely disappointing to see this from the Green Party. I saw this on my feed earlier and thought them Lib Dems but nope. Horrible.
We need to provide amenities to people, affordable ones too; homes for them to live in, places for them to shop - there is no good in NIMBYism.
