saltesc , in Alleged Russian Propagandist Tim Pool Screams That ‘Ukraine is the Enemy of the US’

I dunno US law, but wouldn’t accepting money from Russia to propagate the US he some form of light treason.

Amusingly enough, a few days ago, Tim Pool claimed he was going to sue the Harris campaign for defamation for claiming he advocated the death penalty when it turned out that there was a longer version of the video preserved elsewhere that he didn’t post to YouTube where he does exactly that- saying he supports it for treason.

Hey now do you even know how much a skate park costs. Or how much a man has to pay to keep in all that beanie drip?!

LOL but seriously yeah I watch that last night dude is full of shit and dead to rights cooked. As Sam put it any lawyer that takes the case that doesn’t require payment up front is only getting what he deserves. Old shallow pool doesn’t have a leg to stand on in any lawsuit.

EmpathicVagrant ,

Don’t forget, he wears the beanie so no one will recognize him, it’s not at all because he doesn’t want to let folks see his head.

Eldritch ,

LOL. If someone hasn’t already. He needs to be photoshopped into the Steve Buscemi hello fellow kids meme.

In the allegations, the company that paid them lied to them about where the money came from, so they unfortunately have plausible deniability

Apparently they were googling “time in moscow” when following up on an invoice per Ryan McBeth so they are guilty as fuck.

It’s legal, but any income over a certain amount from abroad requires you to register. Guess what they never did. Hence why this legal case is happening.

Very nice people. They should be proud.

They are some proud boys.

I know so many trans people who can’t access legal health care due to years long waiting lists or very expensive inaffective private health care. In the UK it’s between waiting ~4 years for health care or becoming a criminal.

Oregonian, here. Yeah, we’ve got our loonies on this issue. Bunch of people convinced that the MMR vaccine causes autism because of that murderous fucker Andrew Wakefield.

SGGeorwell ,

Let’s not forget to thank Oprah Winfrey for platforming Playboy centerfold/medical doctor Jenny McCarthy and her anti-vax nonsense in the 2000s also.

ShareMySims ,

You’re thinking too small. Anti-vaxx is literally a billion dollar industry, held up not only by the grifters and snake oil sellers, famous or not, but also social media and tech companies, and even members and or funders of our governments:

Antivaxxers love to class themselves as small fish going against big pharma.

ShareMySims ,

Yup, like so many other exploitative and oppressive groups (conservatives, transphobes, racists, and so on), part of their schtick is playing the victim not only for the sake of their own cognitive dissonance, but also to use as a veil of innocence and obliviousness to hide their true intentions behind.

True, the oppressors are really good at controlling the narrative as they have resources to keep up the lies and half-truths.

Don’t forget Larry King. That guy famously gave her a lot of airtime in front of a lot of eyeballs.

He was famous for be lazy AF and never fact checking his guests.

dumples , in Kids Are Working in America’s Meatpacking Plants

Not only that I’m sure they are making close to minimum wage. Raise that and families might make enough to not need to have their children need to work

Empricorn ,

Underage/undocumented workers are definitely not making minimum wage!

When your party fellates Big Business so hard you have to provide underage workers for them…

dan1101 , in Verizon is buying Frontier in $20B deal to strengthen its fiber network

Verizon has been trying Fios for decades now and I think I know one person that has it. Verizon is already a very very difficult company to deal with. Them buying Frontier will only make things worse.

Companies should not be allowed to acquire other companies if callers are on hold more than 5 minutes when trying to speak to a person at the acquiring company.

geekwithsoul ,

I’ve had FIOS for more than a decade. Service has been pretty much close to flawless. YMMV

WanderingVentra , in Ugandan runner Rebecca Cheptegei, 33, dies from injuries after being set on fire

Damn. Was hoping she would pull through, but with 75% of her body, ya, I wasn’t optimistic. So sad to happen so soon after what was probably the happiest time in her life.

OccamsTeapot , in Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

They also said (different episode I think) that while they’re enjoying their lives (e.g. at a concert), knowing that Palestinians are suffering makes it better. Can you imagine being that much of an evil cunt?

Lifelong indoctrination with minimal critical education or dissenting ideals can be a hell of a drug.

Mammal , (edited ) in Popular Israeli podcasters call to ‘erase every living being’ in Gaza and West Bank

A few months ago I started using Google Translate to read what Israelis are saying amongst each other in their mainstream publications and forums.

My. God. Levels of entitlement and racism that would make a Klansman blush.

Sure, a lot of them want a cease-fire to get the hostages back … and most don’t like Netanyahu … but the average Israeli Zionist is a racist monster.

Daxtron2 ,

You have to remember that the people who post comments on news articles are not average. Look at any English news site article and its full of the most bottom of the barrel idiots. The majority of people don’t comment on things like this.

Mammal , (edited )
@Mammal@lemmy.world avatar

I’m not referring to powerless, mouth-breathing, NEETs who normally lurk forums.

But I’m referring to comments from actual members of the Israeli Knesset, public statements from people like the OP, printed editorials in mainstream publications, and modern Israeli celebrities.

When you read through the translations not meant for western audiences - the racism pops out disturbingly. It’s such a part of their culture that they don’t even notice it as such. Zionists really don’t view people in the West Bank or Gaza as humans.

nonailsleft ,

You have to remember that their religion teaches them that non-jewish humans are, well, ‘not that important’

To put it mildly

yeahiknow3 ,

Religion is a monstrous evil.

tal , (edited ) in How do you know when AI is powerful enough to be dangerous? Regulators try to do the math
@tal@lemmy.today avatar

goes to look for some perspective

A Radeon 7900 XTX can do 61.4 teraflops.

The federal threshold is 100 yottaflops. So figure a system with training hardware the equivalent of about a million Radeon 7900 XTXes.

I have to say that I’m not sure that the training capacity is likely the strongest metric to use – I think that you could probably generate human-level intelligence with a plain old desktop CPU in a reasonable amount of time, given the right software and available training information that exists in 2024 – but it also probably isn’t too intrusive and it’s an easy bar to evaluate.

Measuring how much data your brain stores is kinda hard – some of that is an encoding that has to provide for redundancy – but I don’t think that it’s too controversial to say that it’s probably within what a hard drive or at most a small array of drives can do today.

Estimates of the storage capacity of the brain vary from 10^10 to 10^15 binary digits. I incline to the lower values and believe that only a very small fraction is used for the higher types of thinking.

– Alan Turing, Computing Machinery and Intelligence

That’d be 10GB to 1PB.

aiimpacts.org/information-storage-in-the-brain/

The brain probably stores around 10-100TB of data.

You can get a 10TB hard drive these days. So for training you’re talking about maybe touching every bit on a hard drive at least once. Question is how much actual computational work in preprocessing is required. Might not be a lot.

As for runtime, your brain does have a lot of parallel capacity, but it also has a “clock” on the order of 100 Hz, which isn’t all that fast at serial computation. A lot of problems are constrained by serial computation capacity, and you can trivially serialize any parallel computation, but cannot parallelize all serial computations.

Someone will unironically post this as though that’s not what every member of Hamas means when they say “from the River to the Sea.”

Yes, this guy is an asshole. Yes, there are assholes in every political group. Yes, there are podcasters in YOUR country calling for genocide of some group.

Linkerbaan OP ,
@Linkerbaan@lemmy.world avatar

"Yeah these guys are calling for literal Genocide, but that’s what “from the river to the sea means!”

What an incredibly weird whataboutism and wild claim to make without evidence.

Meningher has done actual media for Netanyahu’s campaigns.

Palestinians have a right to resist occupation and colonialism.

Keeponstalin ,

The slogan From the River to the Sea is about Palestinian liberation that started in the 60s by the PLO for a democratic secular state, not Genocide. The Syrian leader Hafez al-Assad in 1966 maybe, but he’s not Palestinian.

I mean of course he pleads "not guilty". The whole point of this trial is prove him conclusively, and irrevocably guilty. Which, fortunately will be easy given the mountains of evidence. smh.

Tech? It seems like Lemmy is overindexed on people in the tech industry. And that industry is undergoing a seismic correction in workforce population.
