I invite you to check out some of those claims, to see of there is any validity to them. There are a bunch of links to article, with evidence, that says differently in this search:

Justice isn't blind it would seem . Jan 6 is a joke , a bunch of people taking selfies and goofing around. Absolute travesty that Ashli Babbit was shot dead during this farce.

A violent (clear from the videos) and organized (clear from the trials and indictments) attempt to subvert democracy in order to maintain minoritarian control

vs.

a widespread, spontaneous (there is no centralized antifa) and generally well supported series of street demonstrations (the vast majority peaceful) against evident racist behaviors by cops

Did you just use the mostly peaceful protest defence?

Why aren't we tarring everyone with the same brush Éamonn? Were CHAZ and CHOP not insurrections, where teenagers armed with assault rifles annexed parts of downtown Seattle and declared it a no-go zone?

Some really interesting insights in this paper looking at "hallucination" in LLMs:

Creativity and hallucination are really the same kind of emergent behavior, differently named only based on whether they are desirable or not

https://medium.com/@sayandev.mukherjee/hallucinations-and-emergence-in-large-language-models-b54952a17972

Both creativity and hallucination are caused by training with such vast amounts of data that there are long-distance connections in the underlying "consent space" which make all concepts be directly linked to all other concepts

They can be avoided by limiting such long distance connections during the LLM training, so that each concept is only linked to concepts to which it has a reasonable close semantic connection

Does anyone familiar with the French legislative process know whether this very problematic bill is likely to become law? It mandates government-controlled blocking by web browsers https://blog.mozil...

Thanks to Suzanne Vergnolle who addressed this question on Mastodon
It seems that the bill is likely to become law

However, there are still opportunities to change it, and remove the browser blocking mandate
Lobbying by Mozilla and others is important!

Oui, it’s horrible to see that but be alone. No news on tv or social media, so nobody speaks about it and when you do people can sometimes tell you that « it’s for catching the bad guys »… Don’t know if it’s gonna pass, try to get a little level in IT for understanding all of this bu...

Trump's ad:

"Look at who's persecuting me, and in case you racists missed the point, note there are three black faces there"

Me:

"That looks like a great model for a new Mt. Rushmore monument"
