"Much of the Middle East is now being pulled in.

Iran is now being run by an interim leadership committee following the killing of the Ayatollah. Iranian leadership says that his death will not deter them. Their national security leadership has vowed retaliation against U.S. and Israeli targets 'with a force they have never experienced before.'”

~ Ben Meiselas

“We are up against an ideology that has given up— not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world - on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species.

The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

~ Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor

"Today, two old power-hungry, greedy, lawless men are in the process of killing countless hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings, while destabilizing a world they most likely won’t be living in a decade from now."

For some reason, all of these fediverse events keep hitting up against real life stuff. I'm going to make the first two sessions for the un-workshop.

This one is more group discussion oriented so my live streaming of the event might be a bit consolidated as I want to participate in the discussions, especially around marketing the fediverse.

Starts at 10 AM CST

RE: mastodon.social/@mcc/116155634

this something I don't think anyone's really talked about -- not specifically that AI systems are stochastic, but that when juxtaposed with traditional software, where data is static and object-permanent, it's something fundamentally different.

A lot of the marketing falls apart when you realize they're doing a rhetorical slight of hand where they act like the probabilistic text generator is just "more software."

は!!!:blobcat_surprised:

元気っぽい感じと​:sexy__ooo:​って相性悪いというか一緒にするのが難しいと思ってたけど、​:sexy__ooo:は檀蜜さんのイメージと思うとすごい腑に落ちた!!!!

目が溶けていて、眠そうで、動きがゆっくりなところがセクシーだから、元気っぽい要素とケンカしやすいんだな

I've talked a lot about the 1915 Italian science fiction film Filibus. It's the one about the Mysterious Air Pirate who is, apparently, genderfluid and bisexual and engages in various heists and schemes.

It's the basis for my original fiction series The Mysterious Air Pirates and part of an ongoing series of Sky Pirate material we're releasing for Mountain Town Toys. Until today, there were a few ways to watch it:

- Watch it on wikimedia commons or another internet site without a score, and with stolen translated intertitles from the eye film institute.

- Watch a very poor copy with, I think, Dutch intertitles, which had a generic score and was floating around a few websites.

- Buy the bluray from Milestone and The Eye Film Institute, with a score, and with the Eye Film Institute intertitles.

US Politics

I know there are other bigger and worse things going on, but to rephrase something I said on Bluesky, it's really annoying that a selection of rakes have been arranged in a swastika pattern around Graham Platner, and he keeps pulling on his jackboots and goose-stepping onto them, and every single time he does so the Pod Save America bros invite him on the show to get out ahead of it and do damage control.

But maybe this is what will finally get their fans to realize the podbros have been wrong about a bunch of other stuff too.

@silverpill if you have a user with a nomadic identity then I am guessing if their posts are on two server, moderator actions could make the two objects diverge. specifically I am thinking of how to do w3c annotation where an instance actor could approve a change instead of the author of an object

... 이란도 그렇고 이스라엘 미국 중국 러시아 일본 거의 모두 다 그런데... 자국 사정이 어떻던간에 주변 국가를 절대 가만놔두지 않음 어떻게든 자국의 이익이라는 이름하에 뭔가 잘(?) 간섭(?)해보려고 하는데 여기서 모든 문제가 시작되는것 같음;; 다들 너무 오지랖이 심한것임...

RE: mastodon.social/@glyph/1161556

AI ethics, safeguards, alignment, guardrails — all of it is this elaborate Potemkin village construction that looks like rationally considered ethics, while containing none of the actual *substance* of ethics.

It's too pitch-perfect that the whole thing is built as a shield in front of LLMs, themselves a Potemkin village that's shaped like general-purpose computing but that has none of the logic or structure needed to make that work.
