Long post on the durability of US racism

George Floyd died in 2020, so the US said, "OMG! Racism is bad! We can change!"

In 2021, the US *talked about* some modest reforms.

In 2022 and 2023, white grievance against those reforms had reached fever pitch.

2024 saw record police funding, record cops killing Black people, and DEI rollback.🤷🏿‍♂️

That whole arc took less than 4 years, and the United States is now more racist than it was in 2019.🤦🏿‍♂️

US racism is incredibly durable and self-healing. The rules of engagement of US society, including who is allowed to criticize what systems, make it so that any meager gains can be clawed back.

In the moments after George Floyd, many people thought that the US had changed for the better, and changed for good.

But a lot of us older Black folk said to ourselves, "👴🏿OK! Now what durable improvements can we put in place before everyone goes back to business as usual?"

We've seen this before.

My point is: Do not mistake temporary revulsion prompted by white people seeing what happened to Renee Good, for widespread opposition to the idea of ethnically cleansing the United States.

That would be a mistake.

You have a limited window to put any durable changes in place.

And prepare yourself emotionally for that pendulum to swing back.

Because if you are not prepared, it will smash you, and break your spirit.

Ironically: a lot of Black people were less emotionally devastated by the anti-civil rights swingback, because we knew it was coming.🤷🏿‍♂️

It's a long game.

Der gesamte Berg Müll, den ihr derzeit in der gesamten westlichen Welt beobachten könnt.
Haben Antifa- Aktivisti vor vielen Jahren fast im Detail vorhergesagt.
Und das ist das einzige was ich der bürgerlichen Mitte für den Rest meiner Tage auf diesem Planeten ob ihre Arroganz und Fahrlässigkeit niemals verzeihen werde.
Sie hat uns hängen gelassen. Sie hat uns belächelt. Sie hat uns ausgelacht. Sie hat uns als Gewalttäter abgestempelt. "Ihr seht auch überall Nazis".

빨리 저런 라이센스가 제대로 잘 만들어져서 내 레포에 적용하고 싶다.

근데 그런 라이센스가 있다한들 AI 기업들이 그걸 존중할까 하는 걱정이 있는데. 한가지 긍정적인건 LLM들이 원본 데이터를 하도 잘 외워서(이게 꼭 긍정적이지만은 않다), 가령 유명한 소설 '위대한 개츠비'를 한번 읊어보라 하면 80% 정확도로 뱉더라 라던 연구가 있다. 그래서 라이센스를 어기고 학습에 사용한 코드가 있다면 검출은 쉬울지도?

모델 프로바이더 입장에서는 시스템 프롬프트에 '코드를 외웠다는 사실이 드러나지 않게하라' 같은걸 넣을수도 있겠다. 근데 또 모델이 나쁜짓을 하게 하면 딱 그지시만 따르는게 아니라 전반적으로 부작용이 생긴다는 연구가 있다(해당 연구에선 프롬프팅이 아니고 파인튜닝이었지만). 그래서 라이센스를 어기고 학습한다음 잡아떼기가 생각보다 어려운 일일수 있겠다.

You know, it's not a great look for a particular security-focused non-Google Android operating system that only works on Google Pixel phones to be constantly badmouthing other non-Google Androids.

The aim should be getting as many people off big tech and on to more open alternatives, not discouraging them.

Remember how we were all supposed to be "left behind" if we don't jump on the Metaverse bandwagon? Especially businesses?

Yeah, about that:
theverge.com/tech/863209/meta-

But today we should treat absolutely seriously all the bullshit about "being left behind" if we don't adopt "AI"! 🤡

읽는 방법이 괴랄한 히야얏코(冷奴)는
차가운 두부에다 고명을 얹은 요리입니다.
이런 식으로 파, 갈은생강, 가쓰오부시 등을 얹고
간장 부어 마무리하면 되지요.

근데 고명이 꼭 가쓰오부시나 생강일 필요는 없습니다.
차가운 두부요리고, 일단 요리를 하지 않은 재료가 얹어져있으면 히야얏코로 인정됩니다.

🚨BREAKING: A recent winter storm has dealt a catastrophic blow to displaced Palestinians across the Gaza Strip.

Torrential rain and powerful winds flooded tent camps, washed away belongings, and left families exposed to freezing temperatures with no shelter, heat, or dry ground.

With thousands still living in makeshift tents after Israel destroyed their homes and blocked reconstruction supplies, the storm has turned daily survival into a life-threatening struggle.
