Trump, the shit deal maker, upset that Ukraine won’t agree to his shit deal. This ain’t real estate, clown.

No, Trump. You don’t get to do America First AND be leader of the free world. You can either have that cake or eat it.

Five things most people don't seem to understand about DeepSeek. • It's not smarter than earlier models, just trained more cheaply • It doesn't solve hallucinations or problems with reliability. Rest of post at open.substack.com/pub/garymarc...

Tried DeepSeek. Displays interesting behaviour with this question: it summarises the resolution perfectly and then deletes it all shortly after it starts speculating on whether it’s still party policy.

What I dislike most about this emerging Backlash era is its ethos of pseudo-sagacious cynicism - the growing prevalence of the notion that univeralist, egalitarian, humanist values are naive liberal frippery masking a reality of violence, self-interest, ethnic difference and zero-sum group conflicts

Excellent piece. I think of this as "plutocratic feudalism": in which overmighty subjects compete to control the court. Crucially, the court is weak enough to be captured (with erratic child kings, in need of money & prone to flattery), but strong enough to be a threat to them & a weapon v others.

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit” theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...

Kemi Badenoch asked to give any examples of when she has ever raised the issue of grooming gangs in the House of Commons, prior to this week. She can't name a single one, but says that she has talked about trans issues instead

Asked if she’d ever raised the issue of grooming gangs during her years in government, Badenoch decides to go off on one about trans people instead. Really is an odious bigot.

Something I try to explain to tech peeps/investors is the danger of seeing yourself as the outcome, rather than the enabler. It leads to creating 'value' that isn't valuable to the user. It just complicates their journey to the outcome you are meant to deliver. Facebook is speed-running that. /1

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

SPLC deliberately gutted its Hatewatch imprint. They have no full time investigative reporters working in the intelligence project, which covers the radical right. They moved the editor of Hatewatch into the comms department. Spend your money elsewhere during Trump II.

Meta has quietly removed major sections of its hate speech policy protecting LGBTQ people, people of color, women, immigrants, and other marginalized groups. Today’s alarming policy changes will allow anti-LGBTQ rhetoric, and cease to protect LGBTQ users from being targeted with such attacks
