The whole grok white genocide thing*, to me, is a stellar example of why conversations about AI fairness and model de-biasing cannot live exclusively in academia.
It's rare that the ego and power struggles that shape technologies are laid *this* bare, and I hope it serves as a reminder that this is happening in far more quietly and insidiously all the time!!
But to my point— there are so many technically and philosophically fascinating papers about defining, measuring, and adjusting for perceived bias in chatbots.
But they can only do so much in an environment that produces... this.
De-biasing and fairness work has *gotta* address the larger social and political conditions that shape technological development.

Plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain are linked through the presence of **microplastics**—tiny plastic particles less than 5 millimeters in size—that contaminate many ultra-processed foods, including ice cream, and have been found to accumulate in human brain tissue.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs), such as ice cream, are particularly prone to containing higher concentrations of microplastics compared to whole, unprocessed foods. This is due to intensive industrial food processing, packaging materials, and additives that introduce plastic particles into these foods. For instance, some processed foods have been shown to contain far more microplastics per gram than their unprocessed counterparts[1][3][5].
Recent research has found that these microplastics from UPFs can cross the **blood-brain barrier**—a protective shield around the brain—and accumulate in brain tissue in quantities roughly equivalent to a whole plastic spoon. This plastic accumulation in the brain has increased by about 50% in the last eight years. Notably, brains of people with dementia have shown three to five times higher microplastic concentrations than those without cognitive impairment[1][2][3][7].
The biological implications of this plastic accumulation are becoming clearer: microplastics may cause **inflammation, oxidative stress**, and may interfere with brain cell function, processes similarly implicated in mental health disorders like dementia, depression, and anxiety. The microplastics tend to gather in the brain's myelin sheath, which insulates neurons and facilitates signal transmission, potentially disrupting brain communication[1][2][3][5].
In summary, the link between plastic in ice cream and plastic in the brain lies in microplastic contamination of ultra-processed foods like ice cream, which leads to the accumulation of microplastics in human brains with potential consequences for neurological health. This emerging research highlights an alarming new dimension of how plastic pollution in our food supply may be impacting brain health and mental well-being worldwide[1][2][3][5][7].
A popular brand recalled ice cream over plastic contamination, highlighting growing concerns about microplastics in food, which studies link to heart disease, gut issues, and environmental harm.

MLB all-star game is tonight. Remember when MLB pulled/moved the game from Atlanta in 2020 because their “voting laws were racist”. Game is in Atlanta tonight, so I guess that means MLB is admitting they were wrong.
There is another reason for the leaders, all around, to support Israel and is because they don't want "israeli" citizens in their countries. It's anti-semitism first of all and then the weight they don't like to "bring" in their countries - for the attitude of "israelis" (being made by funding and support from abroad).
Buying ammo has slowed down since people feel better about things now than over past years. Prices are going down, and it's a good time to stock up w/more.

The last index update triggered a bug in the official #FDroid client, and Basic: you'll see a toast with "not nullable: icon" and the index won't update. We have reverted the related change and working on fixing the bug.
Simple fix, just go into settings and enable expert mode and then toggle on Force old index format. Force stip the app and then check for updates and then toggle off Force old index format. You should now be good to go.
It's billed as new research into Copilot with a new vulnerability.
It's not. It's old, and patched.
Trend essentially stole it from Aim Security, a competitor, didn't mention them or link the research, and used generative AI to write half the article.
It then calls for collaborative AI research (lol) and tries to sell their own products as the solution, despite having no link.
A zero-click exploit called EchoLeak reveals how AI assistants like Microsoft 365 Copilot can be manipulated to leak sensitive data without user interaction.
There's something especially depressing about people throwing out lazy, dishonest, chaff when there's...not exactly...a shortage of real work that desperately needs doing and real risks that desperately need closer inspection.
I realize that "ignore the tedious problems you definitely do have in favor of the sexy exotic problem that you don't really need to do any work on!" is a tempting pitch; but that doesn't make it any less distasteful.
As someone who used their products many years ago, I find this to be in keeping with their brand. This is the level of performance and commitment to quality that I would expect from them.

Tour de France : violente répression de la dénonciation du blanchiment des crimes d’Israël par le sport
Depuis le départ du Tour de France, le 5 juillet, les militantes et militants présents pacifiquement sur le parcours pour dénoncer la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course et pour exprimer un soutien au peuple palestinien ont été victimes de violences policières inédites et particulièrement graves. À Lille, le 5 juillet, des citoyens et citoyennes, membres de l’Association France Palestine Solidarité, qui manifestaient pacifiquement ont été nassé·es, contrôlé·es et fouillé·es. Des drapeaux rangés dans des sacs ont été saisis par des policiers en armes … À Caen, le 9 juillet, d’autres membres de l’AFPS ont été gazés et jetés à terre. Une banderole a été lacérée de coups de couteaux et détruite, des drapeaux palestiniens ont été volés ainsi que des keffiehs tandis que d’autres objets personnels ont disparu. Des policiers qui se sont livrés à ces violences ont affirmé qu’ils avaient reçu la consigne qu’aucun drapeau ou marque de soutien à la Palestine ne soit visible sur le parcours du Tour de France. À Flers, le 10 juillet, une dizaine de militant-es se sont vu interpellés et là aussi des drapeaux palestiniens ont été confisqués au prétexte que « le port de signes religieux est interdit lors de compétitions sportives ».
Ainsi, la complicité du gouvernement avec les crimes d’Israël éclate au grand jour. Ce gouvernement qui utilise les forces de l’ordre pour faire taire tout soutien à la cause palestinienne tout en assurant la tranquillité des propagandistes d’Israël. Il a été en effet révélé que des escortes policières mobiles et huit agents des forces de l’ordre entourent chaque jour le périmètre autour de l’équipe israélienne, armes au poing.
Cette connivence dans la répression a permis à Sylvan Adams, le patron de cette équipe qui soutient ouvertement l’expulsion des Palestiniens de leurs terres de se féliciter de n’avoir vu aucun drapeau palestinien sur le Tour de France.
Alors que les massacres et les horreurs se poursuivent quotidiennement à Gaza et dans toute la Palestine, ces violences policières à l’encontre de celles et ceux qui dénoncent pacifiquement le génocide en cours sont injustifiables et inacceptables. Il est révoltant de constater que le gouvernement de la France vend impunément du matériel de guerre à un régime génocidaire et dans le même temps réprime les personnes qui en dénoncent les crimes.
L’AFPS dénonce avec la plus grande fermeté l’attitude du gouvernement français et de la police sous ses ordres. Elle assure les militantes et militants agressé·es aussi injustement de son plus chaleureux soutien.
L’AFPS tient également à affirmer sa détermination à poursuivre la dénonciation de la complicité de génocide du gouvernement français et des organisateurs du Tour de France par le blanchiment des crimes d’Israël à travers la présence de l’équipe Israël Premier Tech dans la course.

#FreeGhislaine thegatewaypundit.com/2025/07/e… “The Trump administration has urged the Supreme Court to reject an appeal from Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted sex trafficker and former associate of Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell, 63, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida for conspiring with Epstein to sexually abuse underage girls.
Her lawyers had asked the court to review her conviction, arguing she was protected under a 2008 non-prosecution agreement Epstein struck with prosecutors in Florida.” /////////// whatever. If there's nothing to the files, there's nothing to this conviction.
