Political "moderates" are a made up thing.
Some people to the left of me (AKA insane people) assume I am "moderate".
I'd literally bury a body for Nancy Pelosi, no questions asked, does that make me "moderate"?
@CartyBoston
No, it makes you human. There are literally people for whom we would do anything because they're good people and have done their bit for humanity. Few fortunately, and also fortunately, not in our vicinity, so we'll never have to face that scenario.
Moderation, or lack of it, is immaterial in these cases.

"Progressive candidate jailed after ICE protests says officer threatened to shoot pet"
Let's be clear about something: we aren't free, here in the US. The political repression is real & obvious (& nowhere is it more obvious than Texas).
This shit is delivered matter-of-factly, but... fascist authoritarianism is here *now*. It actually has been here for a bit, but they are tightening the screws.

@DigitalTaoist I think you spelled “greed” wrong ;)
Germany is the world’s second largest arms dealer for Israel, right behind the US.
This isn’t just Israel’s genocide. In the words of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Israel is “doing the dirty work”* but this is very much a genocide being committed by the West.
As you look up and admire the beautiful moon over the next few nights, remember that a US-based company has clearance from the FCC to launch a satellite that will be about 4x brighter than the full moon, and moving across the sky at Starlink speeds. And they want to launch 50,000 of them.
Fuck. This. Shit.
Don't live in the US? Ask your government to make obtrusive space advertising and obtrusive reflections from space illegal.
@sundogplanets citation needed? I'm also against astronomical light pollution but isn't this "are capable of" not "will be"?
The people telling me I should stick to photography and the people telling me I should stick to technology need to get together and come to a consensus about what lane they want me in. I’ll still ignore them, but at least they’ll have someone to talk to first.
@mattblaze how about photography about technology?

Ah, Germany… once a nation of genocide, always a nation of genocide, apparently.

As my daughter (12) is now almost as tall as I am, I realized that I really miss carrying my children in a sling, or on my shoulders. It was such a short time.

Newly unsealed court documents from Authors Guild v. OpenAI reveal that both OpenAI and Microsoft executives knowingly trained their AI models on pirated books (including all sorts of art theft) while privately admitting that the technology threatens writers' livelihoods. Yet, OpenAI & Microsoft went ahead and released their shity AI on stolen work despite knowing it was illegal. https://authorsguild.org/news/ag-v-openai-top-execs-knew-mass-book-piracy-was-illegal/
Stealing from small guys & pocketing billions per year is how they get filthy rich.

This could have been from any book.
I should note that the linguistic trickery here is in claiming that the software “went” rogue, as if that was an independent decision beyond human control. Software behavior might BE rogue, whether AI is involved or not. But, either way, it lacks the inherent agency required to “go” rogue. Software does only what it was programmed to be able do, within the capabilities its configuration allows. That programming and configuration is where any roguery comes from.
@mattblaze we need to get this message out across the media as there is a complacency of accepting the as an ok thing, much like, oh boys will be boys.
I should make a list of FOSS apps, projects, and services that have Fediverse accounts and don't code with AI, then strike them from the list with a big ELIMINATED notice if they do start drinking the slop kool-aid.
