It is officially the morning of New Year's Eve in China, which is the day we think of as the last day of the year! For most of us, this is the time we gather together with all our family and relax, probably this is the the only time for many to live for a few days with all our family and meet our firends. Growing up, this period has always been a time for time with family and friends, for great feasts and for bring a closure to a year. Although I am several time zones always for the third year in a row, I still want to wish all of you happy lunar new year if you are seeing this!

Sure, AI is costing $billions and consuming copious resources, all to produce creepy slop that barely anyone likes. But the alternative would giving that funding to actual human artists. Can you imagine!?! Countless talented people, with free reign to create. What sort of world would that be!?

Epstein's elite group preached master-race ideology:

Alpha males were "apex predators ordained by nature to exploit & subjugate others"

& white men, partic of Ashkenazi descent (eg, Epstein) are “biologically selected for high intelligence”.

Epstein planned to "seed the human race w/ his superior DNA". 

One teen says she was an “incubator” for Epstein’s offspring. Others recount enslavement & forced pregnancies.

繼 kobo 全站75折後，讀墨在農曆新年期間有10天的375，於是到處都出現了個人推薦書單。

推薦書單大概也是一種永遠寫不完的東西？
先弄了一個超陽春版：
getupnote.com/share/notes/VV4E

* 平常貼在小站的會手動移除ap連接，這篇筆記裡面則都是AP。
* 而且目前只有少少的書和連結，大部分簡感都還沒寫。

所以我處在一個「貼這個會不會有點垃圾」和「但是我之後真的還會補完嗎？」的心理拉鋸 → 於是想到了「沒有開始，也就沒有後續調整的惦記」→ 還是先貼出來好了。

This is really funny.
Ars Technica retracted their piece on the AI bot publishing a hit piece on the open source maintainer (Scott Shambaugh) because......... they published AI-made-up quotes from Scott.

arstechnica.com/staff/2026/02/

Anyway, here's the original piece by Scott.

Edit: See Ethan's reply below for context. The author published a retraction.

Editor’s Note: Retraction of article containing fabricated quotations

We are reinforcing our editorial standards following this incident.

NEW | Apple Acquires Israeli “Pre-Speech” Firm Linked to Gaza Genocide

Apple has quietly spent nearly $2 billion to acquire Q.ai, an Israeli startup developing “pre-speech” technology capable of reading facial micro-movements to anticipate what someone is about to say.

The acquisition has sparked outrage as the company’s founders, veterans of Israel’s Unit 81, Unit 8200, and the Air Force intelligence, played active roles in Israel’s military operations during the genocide on Gaza.

The startup, with a single-page website and no commercial product, embodies a deeply troubling intersection of invasive technology and human rights violations. According to early investors, around 30% of Q.ai’s staff were mobilized during Israel’s attacks on Gaza, under the command of ICC-indicted war criminal Yoav Gallant.

Q.ai’s patents reveal technology that can detect silent speech, emotional states, and biometric identifiers like heart rate and breathing, potentially allowing devices to interpret words before they are spoken. While tech analysts speculate that Apple intends to use it for non-verbal control of devices, the implications for surveillance, privacy, and authoritarian control are profound.
