I have a lot more to say, but I'll hold it for now and simply wonder aloud...

Which BigTech clouds are the "Lavender" & "Where's Daddy?" AI systems running on? What APIs are they using? Which libraries are they calling?

What work did my former colleagues, did I, did you contribute to that may now be enabling this automated slaughter?

(Also, content warning. This is some of the sickest shit I've ever read.)

This website says you should send it a photo of your partner's penis and they will tell you if they have an STD, using the power of AI.

This is so misleading, inaccurate, dangerous, YIKES, that I assume it is an elaborate joke.

I'm hearing that Broadcom has quietly decided to stop renewing VMware employees' H-1B visas as a way to lay them off without having to pay severance, and, wow, what a shitty thing to do.

Friendly reminder that if person with ADHD doesn't reply to your messages for a while or forgets about important events because of hyperfixating, it doesn't mean that they don't care or that they're lazy or that they're upset at you or anything of the sort. When we get hyperfixated on something we can spend hours focused exclusively on that one thing entirely losing track of time, sometimes even forgetting about basic bodily needs. It can very much be unhealthy and is often a much bigger problem for us than it is for you. Please be understanding.

' [Gaza residents] on Saturday darted across dilapidated neighborhoods under heavy bombardment to check on loved ones. Medics chased the thunder of artillery and bombs because they couldn’t receive distress calls. Survivors pulled the dead from the rubble with bare hands and loaded them into cars and donkey-drawn carts.

“It’s a catastrophe,” said Anas al-Sharif, a freelance journalist. “Entire families remain under the rubble.” '

Five billionaires chose death and the USA military searched for them at the bottom of the ocean for a week.

Palestinians with their phones on 5% are posting to social media so that their family memories will not be lost to history. No help is coming.

America knows what it is.

Remember when the Panama Papers came out? Remember that it evidenced a global network of tax-dodging, wealth-hoarding, criminal activity by the super-rich? Remember how literally nothing happened?

We fought this, and we won!!

This is the result of a lot of work from privacy and security advocates, researchers, sex worker groups, and members of the lgbtq+ community who worked really, really hard to show the fundamental flaws in age verification.

Well done friends!

Excuse me?
Google now moderates your synched bookmarks? The hell?

To clarify: this is a Google Save Collection, which is one of the mechanisms Google syncs bookmarks via. They're not the default in Chrome (but accessible), but they are the only bookmark facility in the Google Search app, using the standard bookmark icon.

Somebody linked this to me recently and I just had occasion to try it. It totally works. There is a sound on this page, if you play it near a shopping cart you can get the cart all the way to the bike lock stand instead of just to the parking garage.
