Given the well documented long reach of Russia's security services when it comes to viciously killing people they or Putin don't like even in other countries, I really hope this guy takes major steps to protect himself and his fam

Plenty of people do indeed pull it off, and before that heavy handed step, there are others that on a parental level (not by government decree), moderate the effects and use of social media for their children without relying on blanket bans

Or, one could consider the crazy option of letting parents exercise at least some modicum of decision-making on how their children live their lives. I can understand much of the disgust with social media as it is today, but some of these ar

An AR-15 is a single weapon that can be used in a specific context by one individual to a limited degree. AI owned by major organizations is a highly complex thing that can be used by all sorts of multiple actors simultaneously, at scale, i

First, the context of the clothing vs. the famous religious figure should immediately invite more scrutiny. Second, though it's a bit hard to put into words, the images have a sort of false shine to them while also showing an overdone

oh come on people! One look at those "photos" and it was immediately very obvious that they were generated with AI. If one more thing reinforces the stupidity of even people bright enough to write for the Guardian, it's this.

It's absurd That any serious climate scientists should take seriously the media pretensions around making an emotionally charged adolescent into a messianic figure, and consider that a useful thing for real climate investigation and so

I call bullshit on this. It has become de jure to claim that just about any migration from the developing world to the north is due to climate change for all sorts of convoluted reasons, but the patterns of migration from many developing co

How do you find gigs in which you're paid 1k per day to ghostwrite marketing content? I've worked in this space and that seems unusually high. Honestly curious.

Canada could very easily produce nuclear weapons, even at scale, if it wanted to. The U.S. would likely even help them in doing so if the government requested the assistance. As you say, it's one of the worlds main suppliers of uranium

Well since there are many billions of people, solutions should adapt to their presence, not to a sick ideal of eliminating several billion of them. The world is in the first place not even overpopulated, it just manages its resources badly

Not to negate terrible U.S. Government spending on all kinds of worthless things, but go have a look at the U.S. federal budget (see below) and see for yourself where the absolute biggest outlays go. For 2022, of the 6.8 trillion official b

But the U.S. did win quickly in the second Iraq War. It rapidly crushed the Iraqi armed forces on all fronts and in all combat scenarios and quickly occupied the entire country with minimal military losses. The post-invasion/occupation

Except that the Finnish Winter War was eventually a defeat for the Finns, due to the overwhelming force of the Red Army despite its horrendous losses. Finland in fact lost more from the war than it would have lost had it simply accepted Sta

On this site lately there seems to be a truly deep sense of unmitigated woo over all things AI and this comment nicely demonstrates it. We know so far that human cognition and sense of self is still largely a mystery and no evidence exists
