I knew scammers were ripping off @simonegiertz's delightful edge-piece jigsaw puzzles with cheap low-quality bootlegs, but I just saw a new low on TikTok: I got an ad using *her stolen video* to advertise their knockoff. When you click the "Shop Now" link, it goes to their store with the near-identical fake minus the Yetch branding.

In order to keep Donald Trump’s voter base entertained with spectacles of [predatory violence](crimethinc.com/2024/12/23/sacr), recruiters are offering bribes of up to $50,000 to seduce gullible individuals into hiring themselves out to United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). While Trump’s henchmen [falsely claim](nytimes.com/interactive/2025/1) that ICE is targeting “criminals,” the real wrongdoers are those who are prepared to do harm to their neighbors in return for a bribe.

In cooperation with @CrimethInc (crimethinc.com) and the @catl (catl.noblogs.org/), we have prepared a video and poster campaign to counter ICE recruitment. Please help us circulate these everywhere that people are at risk.

There is nothing more despicable and dangerous than a mercenary. When you join ICE, you become a threat to your community and a traitor to humanity. **Once people see you with ICE, you’re going to have to wear that mask every day for the rest of your life.**

Since in today's nomenclature, AI, means "run data searches really fast", a good analogy for AI in Earth's ecosystem is destructive overclocking of a CPU, where Earth is the CPU and AI is the destructive overclocking. As the destructive overclocking continues, the CPU overheats and starts to fail.

StackOverflow having AI chat features is a harbinger of the fall of StackOverflow. Those of us who still want a community-based site where we help our friends and colleagues will now have to go somewhere else now.

What a disappointment.

Last week Trump called Tim Walz the ‘R slur’.

He then doubled down on it, and now his base have begun harassing the entire Walz family.

Memes are circulating on socials encouraging people to drive past their house and yell it at them.

I’ve been personally called that word more than 1,000 times in the last seven days.

We can’t allow this to happen. The disability community has fought far too hard for far too long to remove that word from the public vernacular.

This is ableism at it’s most ugly, and ableism feeds eugenics and eugenics feeds fascism.

Help us fight back. We are not expendable.

Can’t lie, I’m kinda blown away. A video I made for @subMedia is now an official source for the Canadian freaking Encyclopedia. Didn’t have “become Canadian educational material” on my bingo card, but this is the weird timeline we got stuck with.

@neil
To your last point, in this case I don't think calling it something else would have helped. This isn't a case of legit computer vision or other machine learning techniques being u fairly maligned, this seems to be "jam a plagiarism-based LLM into something just for the buzzword", which is a major specific "ai" usecase that pisses people off.

A good search algorithm would have been a good feature.

A legitimate recommendation engine would have been a good feature.

An LLM is not it.

Threatening to punish app stores if they don’t remove apps the government dislikes is unconstitutional.This time it’s ICEBlock, but tomorrow it could be a news app.

Good for ICEBlock for standing up for everyone’s First Amendment rights.

Vibe coding will never be able to replace a good OO analyst. ...not that any companies are looking to hire a good OO analyst. ...or even know what a good OO analyst is (even if they already have one they aren't using for OOA). ...or even what OOA is (thinking that a D should follow). ...or that OOA models can be translated into 3GL code automatically (now I've gone too far and am branded an outcast).

Because age verification is really just there to:

- suppress queer information
- restrict abortion access
- gatekeep sexual education
- slurp up more personal data for marketing

"But think of the children!"

Maybe we should think about the corporations that prey on their attention-spans and self-esteem instead.
