This evening on my usual Monday national radio tech segment, I'll be discussing how AI chatbots have been directly involved in the suicide of a teenager and a murder-suicide, and what this should mean for Big Tech AI companies and their billionaire CEOs going forward.

Word spread through social media that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had reportedly checked into two Long Beach hotels.

Within the hour, a small contingent of local residents had arrived at both establishments.

They were there to make sure ICE agents didn’t sleep.

This was one of several
“No Sleep for ICE” events
that popped up during the month of June.

In a time when large-scale protests often dominate headlines,
a different kind of resistance is taking root across Southern California.

Small, decentralized networks of community members are using stealthy tactics and real-time coordination
to monitor, disrupt, and expose the movements of federal immigration officers.

The world’s leading association of genocide scholars has passed a resolution stating that the legal criteria have been met to establish that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza — DW News

Israel KKK minister Smotrich:
2025 will be the first year since 1967 that we will demolish more buildings in the West Bank than those being built.

And the bastard is proud of it, because he knows EU is coward and complicit, US is paying for it, Canada ignores it, Arab league looking for ways to make money out of it.

Who is going to stop him? Why should care holding back?

Today in 1939: Hitler invades Poland, starting WWII.

This is what many people (including myself) suspected would happen with these LLM SaaS services — that they would become spyware.

And, not just that, but — that they would take spyware to another level.

“OpenAI admitted that it's scanning users' conversations and reporting to police any interactions that a human reviewer deems sufficiently threatening.”

'Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder' was released in Arcades 33 years ago this month in Japan.

We really need to start pushing the truth about AI.

The easiest job for AI to replace would be Management.

Uses the most resources, while offering the least amount of actual productivity.

Reads something by some idiot on the internet, and bases their Management Style around it.

Makes decisions without context.

How can one #genocide cover another?
Dr. Snežana Stankovic (Uniklinik RWTH Aachen) explains how the Bosnian Serb army's 1995 massacre of 8,000 Muslims in #Srebrenica finds echoes in #Gaza today, where international politics, arms trades, and selective remembrance conceal ongoing atrocities.

Dear fediverse,

I just had a video call over Signal with @joynewacc from Gaza.

Farah, or Joy, as she prefers to be called, is a 22-year-old Palestinian author and poet studying English Literature at the Islamic University of Gaza, which has been bombed by Israel.

She lives with her mother and four siblings in a shelter, trying to survive the genocide being committed by Israel.

Please help her and her family afford food during the famine that Gaza is experiencing. Please donate if you can and/or share this so that it might reach others who might be able to:

Joy used to have an account on BlueSky but they closed it. Please give her a warm welcome to the fediverse and let her know she is welcome here.

If you’d like to read her writings, you can find them at:

Despite 9 years of loyalty & going above & beyond, the company made me redundant. Didn't take long for them to realise this was a mistake as I'm the only person who knows how to fix problems with their in-house systems. I now charge them £300 an hour to go in and fix their shit.

Wait - “America's leading physician groups are now openly defying a fucking lawyer and conspiracy theorist. U.S. vaccine consensus has officially shattered." There. I fixed it. 😀

A Brown University Scientist’s research team exposed anti-wind-energy groups as being oil-industry funded.

Now they want to silence him.

“The world's biggest academic association of genocide scholars has passed a resolution saying the legal criteria have been met to establish Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, its president said on Monday.” To say so is not to justify the Oct 7 attacks. But genocide is never justifiable.

To those who wonder why Americans are concerned about this war over others: it’s because we’re deeply involved. Our money is paying for this. It’s a part of US foreign policy.

(29 Aug) Scientists cram an entire computer into a single fiber of clothing — and you can even put it through your washing machine

A new fiber computer contains eight devices that work together as a single computing entity, and scientists want to weave many of them so they can work together as cohesive smart garments.
