Bolivian President Replaces Military High Command Three Days Before Elections orinocotribune.com/bolivian-prโ€ฆ

For us, everything that seeks to destroy economic and political oppression, all that which serves to raise the moral and intellectual level of human beings, to give them the consciousness of their rights and of their forces and to persuade them to do their business by themselves, all that provokes hatred against oppression and love between people, brings us closer to our aim.
-- Errico Malatesta

President Trumpโ€™s War on โ€œWoke AIโ€ Is a Civil Liberties Nightmare eff.org/deeplinks/2025/08/presโ€ฆ
in reply to Mitch Wagner #DEI

@Mitch Wagner If AI acquires human biases then all hope is lost because all we seem capable of is throwing bombs at each other. I don't know if anyone remembers the movie, The Forbin Project, it was about two military AI systems, one in the US named Colossus and one in Russia named Guardian, who in the interest of preventing nuclear misunderstanding were linked up, invented their own language and decided humans were the greatest threat, I hope this movie was not an accurate projection but I can sure understand how it could come to pass. So best computers not be taught to play favorites.

I don't think cowardice in the name of pragmatism builds a broad coalition. You know what I think builds a broad coalition? Principles and resolve. www.the-reframe.com/winning-the-...

When Australian artificial intelligence expert Dr Kobi Leins declined a medical specialistโ€™s request to use AI transcription software during her childโ€™s upcoming appointment, the practice told her [she] was "welcome to seek an alternative" provider.

[...]

It was a system whose privacy and security capabilities Leins had previously reviewed as part of her work in AI governance โ€” and one she said she would not want her childโ€™s data โ€œanywhere nearโ€.

@hazlin every lost cat in the game is hers and she wants my authentic Jap samurai wang because I am so good at finding them (they are marked on the map so it isn't that hard but I guess not every nip has a map or sword skills to deal with all the insane assholes trying to murder random passersby (sometimes I am the murderer)) so she basically wants every cat.

Blocking US medical visas for Gaza kids โ€œwill be devastatingโ€

The admin of eskimo.com boosting and commenting on a post exemplifying modern mask-off fascism: Linking communists to Jews? Check. Denying that racism is even real? Yup. Ahistorical made-up bullshit that really should be obvious to anyone with two braincells to rub together? Totally. Spelling errors so bad that you wonder if that's just how this guy actually says it? You betcha.

Post by Biggus Dickis on minds.com: "The first act Trotsky passed after killing Christian Czar Nicholas II and taking Russia was the "Anti-Semitism Act" that made criticizing Jews punishable by death. It also deemed criticism of communism as "Anti-Semitic". This is not in your history books either, is it? Racist: A made up word by Leon Trotsky in 1927. Word was used to browbeat all dissenters of the communist ideology. Still used to this day in the west to shut down all non-conformists.
Reply to the above by Nanook at eskimo.com: Yea the Communist conflating the idea of their repeatedly failed idea of economics with prejudice against a particular race is just non-requiter.

Comrade Ferret

@Redditslayer Mainly because he creeped on my connections. He followed a friend of mine after I asked for advice on their behalf (I didn't tag them; he specifically went on my channel and looked for the unnamed person I mentioned I had a conversation with.) And now you can see he's repeated this post for some reason.

He's a creep and a bad actor. People should know it. I'd hate for him to connect with someone else ultimately because I chose to engage with him, not realizing who he was, and then didn't post about it to make people aware of what he's doing.
