These chumps are a disgrace to Harry Potter fans, and I say that in full knowledge of how embarrassing Harry Potter fans can be!!!

It’s just racist as hell. A revival of excited delirium pseudoscience.

How is Hanania the “ex” Nazi a credible source on this at all? For fucks sake!

That was always gonna happen!

unifying demands

hostile takeover

Pick one, you can’t have both.

They need an option for “very uncomfortable”.

Everything I have read about this guy creeps me out or pisses me off.

An extremely scary survey:

Edit: have a féach at the survey here

He’s obviously lying to try to pretend he’s some media mastermind rather than a cult member/cult leader.

I think the first Guardian article had some value, just because the reporter hung around the Collinses long enough that they indicted themselves through their own actions and words. Whether that outweighs giving two eugenicists a platform to tell people about their beliefs is difficult to judge.

Iirc, whatshisface defended himself by claiming that black parents were more likely to hit their kids, therefore it was racist to criticise him for doing so

Slate says: “For the Love of God, Stop Profiling This Couple!”

The Collinses are ineffective, abusive industry plants from Peter Thiel’s extended circle. They know they’re entirely media creations. They play off that fact to ensure that journalists never follow up on how many initiatives they’ve started and abandoned, neglect to interrogate their contradictory stances on issues like abortion and “race science,” and even seem to accept that they’re openly being taken for a ride by these dorks. Yet in spite of it all, no one listens to their podcast, they don’t really have much of a following, and their specific appeal is concentrated to a few far-right circuits.

The use of the word sincere here bothers me.

AI = austerity. Replacing creaking but functional systems with crap that doesn’t work is a little bit cheaper, and the money goes to the right people (billionaires) instead of the wrong people (doctors, nurses, cleaners, admin).

Oh yeah Britain didn’t become fascist, they just imposed brutal imperialist exploitation on colonies in Asia and Africa lol. It’s not fascism if you export it!

I know!

It’s term time again and I’m back in college. One professor has laid out his AI policy: you should not use an AI (presumably Chat GPT) to write your assignment, but you can use an AI to proofread your assignment. This must be mentioned in the acknowledgements. He said in class that in his experience AI does not produce good results and that when asked to write about his particular field it produces work with a lot of mistakes.

Me, I’m just wondering how you can tell the difference between material generated by AI then edited by a human, and material written by a human then edited by an AI.

While googling around for stuff about them I found this article about a sting Hope Not Hate did on them. They produced a slideshow of doom for a fictional wealthy investor, imagining a proposed eugenicist city state on the Isle of Man.

What is it with these people and islands? Bankman-Fried wanted to buy Nauru. I assume none of them realize the inherent economic and planning disadvantages of building your empire on a tiny island…
