Old Fucking Punk @lwriemen@librem.one

I wonder if at this exact moment one could succeed in filing a issue against an open source project for an entirely ficticious vulnerability, get it assigned a CVE and a github score, and then get the upstream project to accept your patch for the vulnerability, with all these things presented as the issue, the CVE, and the PR being written by generative AI, but in fact you wrote them substantially by hand and the patch for your nonexistent vuln is actually a backdoor

I love how the "AI industry" just utterly falls apart the moment it's clear they may face real opposition, regulation, and even the smallest amount of scrutiny

OK, I just saw someone posting about a project called Terra Tempora (https://terra-tempora.com/?ref=mastodon), which claims to let you "scroll through history", searching for battles, treaties, and "tracking civilisations".

Unfortunately the whole thing is a classic object lesson in why we shouldn't entrust our understanding of history to data scraping and AI processing, which is pretty clearly a core basis for the project. Here's some examples.

> But I wanted to write this specifically to say to other people in this position: No, you're not insane. We are living through a horrific break in human history, and we are going to watch people fail to recognize the battle lines being drawn or simply fail a basic decency check. We are watching a mass betrayal of humanistic values unfold before our eyes. It is natural to be shocked and disgusted.

“Because if the person couldn't take the time to write it, then I definitely shouldn't take the time to read it.”

Yep, that’s what I’ve always said. It seems so obvious. And yet…

That wasn't an error. It was a choice.

"Free Press Forced To Issue Correction After Reporting Abdul El-Sayed Gave His Victory Speech ‘In Arabic’"

It’s interesting how similar the #Cybertruck failure is to the FORD EDSEL, the most famous big-launch failure in #cars history.

The Ford Edsel sold for three years for grand total of more than 118k units (http://edsel.net/production.html). The Cybertruck also sold for around three years. Actual sales numbers are harder to find, but Tesla claims 125k “installed capacity” (https://electrek.co/2026/11/06/tesla-ending-cybertruck-production-sales-10-percent-plan/) which doesn’t really say if those units were delivered to customers. Glossing over that question and ignoring the fact that SpaceX has been buying units to boost numbers, we’ll call the Cybertruck and Edsel about even in the number of units sold.

Tesla announced the Cybertruck targeting 250k units per year of production, about even with Ford’s expectation of 200k units per year in 1960.

The rub, of course, is that the global total addressable market for automobiles has exploded since the 1960s. But the similarities are interesting.

We're trying to stamp out an American neo-nazi movement that sent masked goonsquads to murder people in the streets as POLICY so it is your obligation to tell any suity jagoff saying or hinting "We must be gracious in victory" to fuck off and throw shit at them if you have any rotting food handy.

Whoever is pushing for Jeffries & Schumer to stay in leadership it sure as heck isn’t the people...

An NBC poll from four days ago showed Hakeem Jeffries with an approval rating of 18%. Chuck Schumer at 13%. This should be case closed.

Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries telling us they're gonna hold Republicans accountable and stop taking AIPAC money.

After the polls close, the election outcome is generally determined, and it’s just a matter of letting the count proceed and waiting for the results. But one exception is provisional ballots, where campaigns continue their GOTV efforts to encourage those who voted that way to cure their ballots before the deadline.

Mississippi’s senate seat is likely to be decided by provisional ballots this year, so we’re seeing a lot of this activity now.

Universally true everywhere in the US IMO

Stephen Miller terrorized, kidnapped, and murdered my neighbors.

This is not some vague figurative sloganeering thing. I can take you on a walk from my house and point out the spots where they took people. I know multiple people who had relatives abducted by ICE, including citizens. My wife personally knew Alex Pretti, and found out he died when she saw his face on the news.

Stephen Miller. This was his brainchild. This was his fantasy. This is on his hands. Just so we’re clear.

I've been liberal all my adult life, and distressed about mistreatment of immigrants for decades. But I'm a shy introvert who was too timid to go beyond writing politely complaining letters now and then. Minneapolis radicalized me and energized me, and now there's no going back. (Your posts from ground zero played a large part in that emboldening process.) I think for many of us, Minneapolis was the match that started the fire that powered this movement. We saw how you all stood your ground, peaceful yet utterly determined, so how could we not follow?

@mhoye Trying a variation of the old MS "Internet Explorer is deeply integrated with Windows" line eh.

RE: https://cosocial.ca/@mhoye/117570708482660527

A thing want to mention about Google's claim that “Search and AI are deeply integrated,” - hello there, Chris Phillips, vice president for education at Google - is that it's a bald-faced lie, and you can see that lie in action via a different service Google offers: Alerts.

Go to https://www.google.com/alerts and type in something. Watch in amazement as search results come back with not a single reference to Gemini in sight.

Remember what happened when Joe Biden was elected: We “defeated” Trump, but Dems did not go on the offensive to dismantle his corrupt institutions and replace them with robust ones, or aggressively pursue high-ranking criminals to put them in prison. Instead, they wanted a return to the comfortable status quo, where corporate money flowed and everybody went back to their old ways. The result was a Trump recovery and victory.

We cannot make that same mistake again.

Prosecute criminals, demand justice, dismantle bad institutions, and create a BETTER system. Refuse to go back to the way things were, where creatures like Donald Trump and Elon Musk were allowed to flourish.
