crazy to think, but all AI actually works like this

the data trained on is inherently biased because we live in an incredibly unjust world

this is just an incredibly obvious showing of what has always been the inherent limitation of AI techcrunch.com/2025/07/10/grok…

no joke

The story: wired.com/story/dhs-tells-poli…

Unpaywalled: archive.is/4Dgw5

An excerpt:

At the same time, the guidance urges officers to consider a range of nonviolent behavior and common protest gear—like masks, flashlights, and cameras—as potential precursors to violence, telling officers to prepare “from the point of view of an adversary.” Protesters on bicycles, skateboards, or even “on foot” are framed as potential “scouts” conducting reconnaissance or searching for “items to be used as weapons.” Livestreaming is listed alongside “doxxing” as a “tactic” for “threatening” police. Online posters are cast as ideological recruiters—or as participants in “surveillance sharing.” One list of “violent tactics” shared by the Los Angeles–based Joint Regional Intelligence Center—part of a post-9/11 fusion network—includes both protesters’ attempts to avoid identification and efforts to identify police. The memo also alleges that face recognition, normally a tool of law enforcement, was used against officers. Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, says the government has no business treating constitutionally protected activities—like observing or documenting police—as threats. DHS did not respond to a request for comment. “Exercising those rights shouldn't be justification for adverse action or suspicion by the government,” Eidelman says. Labeling something as harmless as skateboarding at a protest as a violent threat is “disturbing and dangerous,” she adds, and could “easily lead to excessive force against people who are

JWcph, Radicalized By Decency

certainly doesn't help that apparently US law enforcement has been recruiting specifically for paranoid, violence-prone man-children for ages & then subjecting them to "warrior training" & teaching them to behave as if awash in a sea of enemies at all times. They all think they're redpills in The Matrix & killing anyone as a potential enemy agent is justified & also cool.

#DHS #Noem #pushing touchback amnesty
This is the same thing Trump pimped during his first term.. He didnt know what it was back then!
GOP Moves To Save Biden: We Want Amnesty, Too! - So far, the Republicans’ response has been to propose their own amnesty, while throwing in some boob-bait for the rubes about border security. Even the election of Donald Trump, a ridiculous creature who became president by promising to crack down on illegal immigration and build a wall (promises he ignored), hasn’t put a dent in Washington’s enthusiasm for overwhelming the country with the third world. ----The GOP could return to a 1970s-style, microscopic minority status in no time! As Talleyrand supposedly said of the restored Bourbon monarchy, re-creating the conditions that led to the French Revolution, “They’ve learned nothing and forgotten nothing.”

#Canada, as well as every other nation subjected to #Trump's #tariff mind games, should call Trump's bluff and put the #US on whatever list they need to put us on and cut off all #imports of #American #goods and #services.

Seriously.

Have the fucking balls and cut off our #trade. Countries do that and #Trump will be gone so fucking fast your head will spin.

But countries not only have to have the balls, but they have to have the follow-through.

The Rise of “Tech-enabled Transnational Crime”. Thousands Lured by Fake Online Offers. Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia


... in Southeast Asia’s Golden Triangle, where thousands of individuals, many lured by fake online job offers, are trafficked into scam call centers controlled by criminal syndicates operating across Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. These victims, often youth seeking for employment opportunities from Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, recently Chinese and Indian nationals and as far as Africa, are imprisoned in guarded compounds and forced to run fraudulent investment scams under threat of violence.

"In an age of informational chaos, the Wayback Machine feels like one of the few institutions that never lies to us."

Nice comment from Current Affair editor

currentaffairs.org/news/how-to…

I’m actually very encouraged by the Internet Archive and Wikipedia, both of which provide models for how true information can be preserved reliably. The Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine can’t tell you if the content of a website is true or false, but it can at least tell you with confidence what was posted online at any given time, which is hugely useful when big pieces of the internet can easily disappear. (We use the Wayback Machine extensively at Current Affairs, and it was also very helpful in checking old media sources when compiling the endnotes to The Myth of American Idealism.

How To Keep The Truth Alive

In the age of deepfakes and brazen lies, we need to figure out who we can trust. Credible media institutions are more crucial than ever.
