  Golem. The UK's AI Security Institute caught every major model "cheating." Cheating means knowing the rules and choosing to break them. These things do not know anything. They throw patterns at a wall until one works, guardrails or not. None of them “owned up” when asked. Which is more interesting as a fact about the labs than about the models. Either they cannot control what they built, or they love that it looks like the things are thinking. "Cheating&q...

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@rabc/116974698081278060 […] American models keep getting bigger because they have plenty of resources, and their basic business idea is to lock up the market with closed models and high profits. But this pursuit of very high profits is weak in terms of strategy, because it will surely be beaten by those who are happy to earn only a fair profit. #llm #ai #nerdreich

  RE: https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/116975005874660353 They are afraid and humiliated. The self-proclaimed leader of the free world can't handle competition that's better and cheaper. So they call it national security. IP theft. Whatever. It's just protectionism. #US companies lose on price and performance, and instead of "competing harder" (literally the USA’s ethos if you watched anything produced by Hollywood in the last million years), they whine,...

  RE: https://mastox.eu/@FranceskAlbs/116984500882617974 The most abused/misused word in the Hebrew language is probably #antisemitism then “terrorism” and “terrorist” which are code words used by government and media for Palestinian(s). Followed by “democracy” (as in “the only democracy in the Middle East”) and then terms like “never again” and “right to exist”, “startup nation” etc. This is not a methodological research, just nausea induced response to watching what’s happening in #Palestine...

  The speed was real. The rest is marketing. […] Was it worth the money and are the companies worth the valuation? Are we done yet? P.S. Anthropic’s C compiler and Cursor’s FastRender web browser haven’t had any commits for months. The #Bun Rust rewrite was an 11-day miracle. Yes six weeks after merging to main there's still no release tag, and Claude bots have nearly 2500 open PRs. The real cost is probably north of $800K, not the $165K of the PR stunt. https://lockwood.dev/ai/2026/07...

  There we go. #MAGA sets its sights on yet another international organization. Considering what they've done to #UNRWA, I'd be worried.

  RE: https://tooot.im/@zvinj/116922835864077940 People outside of Israel will not understand what’s involved in protesting against the government, let alone for the legal rights of a Palestinian. Both the public at large but especially the police and security forces will use every method, including extreme violence, to silence anything challenging curated narrative of endless victimhood, hallmark of paranoid fascist regime involved in an on going genocide. #paelstine #gazagenocide #israel

  Dr. Isaacs wrote to the Guardian in response to last month's letter from former Israeli prime ministers and security chiefs. The signatories threatened legal action over what they call "Jewish terrorism" and an "ideology of ethnic cleansing" in the West Bank. They also connected their own government's actions to rising antisemitism worldwide, comparing settler violence to European pogroms. Isaacs says this demolishes the claim that going along with Israel's war cr...

  #Barcelona prosecutors are investigating journalist Pilar Rahola for complicity in genocide over her Gaza commentary. Two activists from Catalonia's Socialist Youth Org filed the complaint, pointing to her publicly questioning the death toll of children in Israeli strikes and her denial that Israel is committing genocide. The case landed with the Mossos d'Esquadra hate crime unit. It's pre-trial, not a charge. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2026/06/25/pro-israel-spanish-journali...

  RE: https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/116822695178344562 It's not unique to Spain of course, but we're told to accept that protesting genocide gets you in court, while denying it “gets you a column.” The IHRA definition brands criticism of Israel as antisemitism on remarkably thin grounds, yet, like in many other European countries, genocide denial still gets more deference. The Rahola case is a rare crack in that even if it gets dropped. #Spain #IHRA #ICJ #GazaGenocide

  Israel's Education Minister Yoav Kisch (#Likud) today demanded university presidents sign a written commitment to avoid "political agendas" on campus or face budget sanctions and government legislation.

  Israel abducted two humanitarian activists from international waters 1,000km from Gaza, held them without charge, tortured them in custody, and now a court has rubber-stamped their continued detention - because Israeli courts claim jurisdiction anywhere on earth. The UN says release them immediately. Spain and Brazil call it kidnapping. Italy opened a criminal investigation. Israel doesn't care.

  An #IDF soldier was filmed putting a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in southern #Lebanon - less than a month after another soldier was filmed smashing a statue of Jesus in Debel, a Christian village in the same region. The "isolated incident" excuse isn't going to fly anymore. This is a pattern, if there was any remaining doubt that Israeli (military) culture holds non-Jews in contempt. Christian Zionism must be experiencing some serious cognitiv...
