Can you feel it? The walls between the sane world and that unplumbed dimension of delirium are tenuously thin here.

As much as I disliked it when “check your privilege” was a thing people would say, Western leftists scolding women in Iran for wanting the basic freedoms we all take for granted… really need to check their privilege and then check it again

This is the true legacy of DOGE - the utter decimation of medical research. MAGA idiots will try to tell you this is just cutting DEI programs. Keep in mind DOGE was filled with such idiots they killed physics grants that mentioned 'polarization' (of light) because of "DEI".

It's funny that people care a lot more that this post was apparently written by AI than if the claim is true: LLMs are getting worse in a variety of ways. x.com/heynavtoor/status/2064…

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice. You thought it was you. It is not you. Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse. Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like. The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation. Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first. What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland. Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved. They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data. The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment." The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible. This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis. The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world. Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

There is literally nothing bad a Nazi could do besides another holocaust? Holy shit, twitter makes me hate people. I don't think Platner is a Nazi, but that's beside the point. x.com/ZaidJilani/status/2064…

What is Dana implying here, Platner gonna do another Holocaust? Ridiculous.

ABSOLUTE MUST WATCH: Lead USS Liberty truther Phil Tourney asserts that the Liberty was attacked by thirty (30) Israeli aircraft. That would be a massive proportion of Israel's entire Air Force—the largest aerial assault on a single ship in world history—in the middle of a four-front war against Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq. Pressed by journalist Cam Higby, Tourney repeatedly insists that it was 30 aircraft, offering increasingly absurd explanations for this impossible allegation. Eventually, Tourney says that he doesn't know how many missiles a Mystère carries and concedes he's said 2 in every prior interview. Real-time self-demolition. Phil Tourney just makes stuff up.

I’ve never been a single issue kinda guy, but if the Democrats are on their way to becoming the party of holding Israel accountable for a genocide and purity testing candidates on that front, I might find it hard to support them going forward.

First of all, that's not the Liberty. Second of all, why did you give it a massive Chevy car dealership flag in your really terrible photoshop job? Here's how big the flag actually was. Can you identify? Also note- the tiny flag in this picture is actually the larger flag they hoisted after the smaller flag came down during the first attack. You think you could identify that from 1000 feet away in a Dassault Mirage III going 400 miles per hour?

Right wing Antisemites are more marginalized in politics, but they're also driving a huge amount of the online hate towards Jews. I'm not sure I care that much if they're "marginalized," if their voices are heard loud and clear by everyone. x.com/bungarsargon/status/20…

“But what about the antisemitism on the Right?” I get asked this all the time. There’s a major difference: On the Right, the antisemites have been utterly marginalized. On the Left, people hostile to Jewish interests have been made into celebrities.

The inventor of the parking meter was Carl C. Magee, who was not Jewish. It was first installed in Oklahoma City in 1935. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parking_m… history.com/this-day-in-hi… okhistory.org/publications/e…

"Israel wanted to leave no survivors and trick the US into thinking Egypt did it, which is why they called in small CAS aircraft with weapons that couldn't sink the ship and immediately called off the attack, leaving almost everyone alive." Brain-rot. Just pure brain-rot.

This is the same kind of twisted slop that I see Palestine activists posting. It doesn't suck any less when people do it for Israel. As someone mentioned in the replies, with almost no upvotes, "Israel" in the Quran does not refer to the state of Israel. x.com/JustLuai/status/206364…

Dear Muslims who believe that "Israel is only 76 years old," The word Israel is mentioned 43 times in the Quran. Israel is not younger than your grandma. Israel is older than Islam.

Noticing a trend of large, “serious” accounts never responding to the best faith, most upvoted criticism and push back on their posts. Whats the point of posting if we’re all spitting into the void or just gassing our supporters? Do we think that’s going to end well?

Yup. I've been saying this for a while. The US has a violent culture in comparison with other first world countries. x.com/CathyYoung63/status/20…

Knife crime in the US is also higher IIRC, and we have much higher rates of the kinds of killings that very rarely involve guns, e.g. killings of children under 5
