Amazon CEO wants to put ads in your Alexa+ conversations | TechCrunch

Andy Jassy's description of an AI-generated ad that Alexa+ delivers in a multistep conversation, which could help users find new products, is uncharted territory for Amazon and the broader tech industry.

"Anarchy is what happens wherever order is not imposed by force. It is freedom: the process of continually reinventing ourselves and our relationships.

Any freely occurring process or phenomenon—a rainforest, a circle of friends, your own body—is an anarchic harmony that persists through constant change. Top-down control, on the other hand, can only be maintained by constraint or coercion: the precarious discipline of the high-school detention room, the factory farm in which pesticides and herbicides defend sterile rows of genetically modified corn, the fragile hegemony of a superpower.

Anarchism is the idea that everyone is entitled to complete self-determination. No law, government, or decision-making process is more important than the needs and desires of actual human beings. People should be free to shape their relations to their mutual satisfaction, and to stand up for themselves as they see fit.

Anarchism is not a dogma or a blueprint. It is not a system that would supposedly work if only it were applied right, like democracy, nor a goal to be realized in some far-off future, like communism. It is a way of acting and relating that we can put into practice right now. In reference to any value system or course of action, we can begin by asking: How does it distribute power?

Anarchists oppose all forms of hierarchy—every currency that concentrates power into the hands of a few, every mechanism that puts us at a distance from our potential. Against closed systems, we relish the unknown before us, the chaos within us by virtue of which we are able to be free."

There are but a few people from #Gaza on the #Fediverse that somehow manage (I don't know how) to report what they see and experience, every few days.

Out of them, I'm currently following one account whose posts I have come to trust in:

Please follow them, and educate yourself via their first-hand accounts on what people are enduring in Gaza.

If you take offense at them and others asking for donations, to feed and save their own and other families, consider what you'd do yourself if you had to pay $60 / 50€ for a single kilogram of flour.

Or, alternatively, again and again, had to fear for the life of a family member that's away, walking miles and miles to queue up at an "aid distribution" site where soldiers have killed more than a thousand desperate people already, merely for trying to get hold of something to eat.

Yes, there are many fraudulent people trying to exploit your sympathy, on the back of the #Palestinians in Gaza. No, its not impossible to find at least one trustworthy human being in need, and to help them survive.

[Update 4: Digging deeper, and having had conversations with several others, I have come to the conclusion that I need to remove another account, due to serious doubts, when looking at the whole picture. I will leave this post up, for transparency.]

[Update 3: Added a reply to this post, concerning donations and scams]

[Update 2: Upon further interaction, the removed account proved to be fraudulent, it'll stay removed]

[Update: temporarily removed one of the accounts mentioned, since it needs further verification]

There have been numerous reports about #Gaza-related scams hitting social media. Take them with caution, and seek for evidence. Leaving a scammer account up is as bad as taking a legit account down, by reporting, just because you think it "might be" a scam.

My personal policy on #donations:

  • I do not donate larger amounts to campaigns of individuals. Larger amounts go to long-standing aid organizations with a positive reputation.
  • I may be scammed by individual scammers for smaller amounts, sometimes without even learning about it, afterwards. I'm taking the loss, reporting both the accounts on the respective social media server, and their campaigns on the respective fundraising platforms.
  • I'm reminding you of my recommendation, above: Taking offense at somebody merely for asking for donations is not ok. It erodes any form of mutual aid. Looking for verification, and stopping to promote somebody's posts when you see evidence of fraud, is the thing to do.

The one thing I hated about Bluesky was the number of TERFs and other far right types there. No real human moderation, lots of impersonation, and block lists can't keep up as Bluesky allows you to create other names too to easier to spoof and get round blocks and mutes. It's a hell-hole almost as bad as the dead bird site. Glad we have a decent group here with almost no TERFs.

Islamic Center pleads for leniency for convicted child rapist over 'this situation'
An Islamic Center in Minnesota has written to a judge handling the case of a man convicted of child rape seeking leniency for him over "this situation," when he "abducted the 12-year-old girl from her backyard, bashed her over the head, and transported her in his car, where he raped her before she was able to escape."

Gaza Government Media Office:
Only 73 trucks entered Gaza yesterday, the majority of which were subjected to looting due to the security chaos perpetuated by the occupation.

Gaza needs at least 500 trucks per day as minimum requirement to feed the starving population

"What Israel is pursuing, in the words of former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, is 'indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killing of civilians,' not from 'some disproportionate outburst by some soldiers in some unit' but through 'government policy—knowingly, evilly, irresponsibly dictated.'

Growing up, every aspect of my Jewish identity was connected to the Holocaust…."

And to the insistence that Jews could not let this happen to anyone...

"The debate over whether or not Gaza is a genocide is, effectively, over. So can we now also stop pretending that we are mere bystanders to this genocide? That our sin is one only of omission rather than commission? Because the inconvenient truth is that the US has not just looked the other way, as tens of thousands of Palestinians have been besieged and bombed, starved and slaughtered, but helped Israel pull the trigger."

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle — under fire over the Pennsylvania assassination attempt against President Trump — won’t have her top-level security clearance renewed, The Post has learned.

The Secret Service decided not to extend Chealte’s clearance after opposition from Republicans in Congress, namely Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

“Director [Sean] Curran has been modernizing the intelligence apparatus within the agency,” a spokesperson told The Post.

“During that process, he has determined that not all former directors will have their clearances renewed.”

The decision to end Cheatle’s security clearance came after RealClearPolitics inquired about Johnson’s opposition to renewal, claimed the outlet, which was the first to report the change.

Johnson, who helms the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, had probed the Secret Service’s failures leading up to the Trump assassination attempt in Butler, Pa.

The word "terrorist" is fraught, but by its own standards, the Israeli government is by terrorists, for terrorists.

In 2007, Itamar Ben-Gvir was convicted in an Israeli court of incitement to racism and support for a terrorist organization. He is now the security minister of Israel.

When IDF soldiers and settlers kill civilians, it's never a mistake. It's the plan.

This is a jank B-tier Souls on UE5 with some bad bits but some fun bits. Deluxe edition lets you be pic related without having to clear an obtuse quest on a first run to unlock this nigga on a second so you probably want it just for that.

It's below LoP and AI Limit in quality but it is charming. Several play sessions infuriated me into quitting multiple times but I kept coming back to the game unlike Wuchang which I am NEVER going to play again unless they ALSO spend two years updating the game like nu-LotF did. The two years of work on this game makes it probably the best optimized UE5 game you're ever going to see, and also has really tight, refined combat mechanics even if the stages and enemy variety will leave you with some complaints.

You sprint like a football player, you have basically the dodge from Lies of P and the parry system from it too but with less emphasis, so it has a similar skill level and decent reward but doesn't overpower the game but you also got third person shooter aiming for spells and ranged weapons. It has all the Souls systems but with a good feeling that the west used to be good at.
