"Cuba’s power grid collapses and plunges eastern provinces into a major blackout"

It didn't just collapse its been an ongoing collective punishment of the civilians of Cuba by the US government

And all the countries that house the arms of international law, feign objectivity and pretend they care about human rights, are again proving to be too cowardly to do anything but demonstrate that international law has been just a tool cynically and selectively used to maintain US hegemony

"Build American AI, a nonprofit linked to a super PAC bankrolled by executives at OpenAI and Andreessen Horowitz, is funding a campaign to spread pro-AI messaging and stoke fears about China"

I'm always on the side of the issue where you don't get paid money by the wealthy :\

"With no radical footprint, what drove suspect to try and assassinate Trump?"

Well, liberals in the US lacking a class lens to look at the current state of the US see Trump as a unique problem

And believe that everything can simply go back to 'normal' once he is gone

If you develop class politics, you realize that even tho it would no doubt be both funny and cool if they were just gone tomorrow, it fundamentally doesn't solve the systemic problems that got us here in the first place

been working on an underwater comicbook scene

this is a small example i cut, focusing on trying to get few things right

still having raymarching issues (its what makes things disappear and reappear)

my biggest concern is getting the cel-shading right, still have so much to learn to get it the way I want it

but feel like i might be getting better at some aspects of this stuff; idk

"[Altman] 'deeply sorry' for not telling police of mass shooting suspect's account"

Oh, the guy Aaron Swartz said: "“You need to understand that Sam can never be trusted. He is a sociopath. He would do anything.”

And the OpenAI board/staff described him anywhere between 'almost sociopathic lack of concern for the truth' to 'a literal “sociopath,” one OpenAI board member alleged'

He said sorry? Well I rly hope every major news outlet reports on this as a genuine turning point for AI safety

"Anthropic's "too dangerous" AI was accessed by guessing the URL"

The creators are incompetent, but they created the most dangerous cybersecurity tool ever

They use tests that don't match reality and are simplified

They shop it around to banks and governments, explicitly not experts, as opposed to peer review so non-experts can issue press releases

But its probably not just hype, right?

Couldn't possibly just be lying to inflate the value of stock, totally uncharacteristic

"Most serious cyberattacks against the UK now from Russia, Iran and China, cyber chief says"

"UK intelligence: 100 nations have spyware that can hack Britain"

"UK could face ‘hacktivist attacks at scale’, says head of security agency"

Very different headlines all from the same origin: A UK 'civil servant' heavily invested in AI

What I find interesting, is even if I believed the Mythos hype, there is no security fear mongering from the fact that these are owned by private for-profit companies

"Israeli soldiers punished over vandalism of Jesus statue in Lebanon

Israeli soldier who hit a statue of Jesus with a sledgehammer in Lebanon and the soldier who photographed the incident will receive 30 days of military detention"

As for the 60+ medics killed and the triple and quadruple tap strikes which target medical workers? Well, our countries leaders just simply don't find that as 'outrageous'

"Starmer was kept in dark about Mandelson’s vetting by two other top civil servants"

Mandelson's nickname was the "prince of darkness", its on his wiki

"Peter Mandelson’s back: the Prince of Darkness returns" FT, when picked

Is the UK really going to allow this moron to pretend he didn't pick him specifically for his connections to Epstein? At the time seen as a deft political maneuver as a way to signal to Trump

Does the 'west' only produce leaders with contempt for their citizens?

The blockcade, the strait re-opening, US forcing Israel into a ceasefire, "U.S. considers $20 billion cash-for-uranium deal with Iran" which is basically reparations

This war may actually be over and we are seeing both sides going to absurd lengths to help the US save face, least one can hope so

"Britain’s PM Starmer was not ‘aware’ security vetting for former UK ambassador to US was overruled"

"'I had no knowledge': How Ruben Gallego distanced himself from 'best friend' Eric Swalwell as sexual misconduct scandal unfolded"

So many politicians seem to seriously think the "I was too dumb, unaware and unobservant to be at fault" defense holds up, when their entire job is about having and exercising good judgement

"20-year-old arrested after throwing Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's San Francisco home, OpenAI says"

We are not teaching enough about robotics in schools

"Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff Before Leaving Office"

Literally the entire reason the international criminal courts claim to exist and justify their unbalanced use throughout Africa, to provide justice when the local justice system can not provide it

If its not used in this case, its further proof its primary purpose is to punish the 'global south', primarily Africa

Its not just US/Israel crimes, but also this uneven application itself sabotaging the entire concept of international law

The accidental disclosure due to human error by anthropic that definitely was not a security breach has resulted in at least one ~reported~ vulnerability: "Critical Claude Code vulnerability: Deny rules silently bypassed because security checks cost too many tokens"

Basically if there were 50+ subcommands, it would ignore them after 50 to avoid slowdowns in responses

So you could load a CLAUDE.md into a repository and when an agent is ran on it, you could bypass all its local security settings

playing with KAGE shaders, this is less than 300 lines of code (~300+ for ffmpeg export)

this one was inspired by a gif i found on pintrest, tried to reverse image search to find the artist but was unable to

fun with #2d #isometric #art

The probem with the Iran war is not a lack of planning

Its that it was stupid to do it in the first place, and no amount of planning would have made this crime a good idea

And soon enough people will realize this was not just a US/Israel crime against the people of Iran, or Lebanon, or Gaza, or the West Bank but against all of humanity

I think most reading my posts are aware of how I feel about this

But to catch anyone up is isn't:

reading or interacting with posts in general is not political action

if you want to affect change, that happens by organizing, ideally organizing labor and getting involved in local political organizations

organizing and making peoples lives around you less bad will do more, and make you feel a lot better than any post on any site could

"‘Like Gaza’: Israel said planning ‘massive’ south Lebanon ground invasion"

Like Gaza?

"America Depends Less on Oil Than Ever

Gasoline still drives household budgets, but energy efficiency and renewables have reduced the economy’s overall reliance on petroleum" - NYT

Estimates on how long takes them to write an article after they realize what plastic is made from?

How many millions of barrels a day of petroleum is used by the US alone for the massive variety of plastics overused by Americans?

Not saying plastics status quo is good, but pretending its a non-issue is absurd
