Having now seen Christopher Nolan’s adaptation, I must say that Super Mario Odyssey took major liberties with the original text.

Kew has a small exhibition, by the Singh Twins, about colonialism and the legacy of the British Empire. Worth a visit before it closes on Sunday.

@annaecook coincidentally, we spent part of yesterday afternoon at a museum exhibit about Aktion T4 and the euthanasia programme.

It was, of course, “blood and honour” or “loyalty above all” or some such Nazi bullshit.

Watched a National Geographic thing last night, in which they interviewed old men who had served in the SS.

TV Narrator: “He was very proud of his uniform, with the SS motto engraved on the belt buckle.”

Me: “We are cunts”?

@ianbetteridge Elements heavier than iron are made by supernovae. Gold is rare because a star has to die to make it.

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com "We can trace this story to the post-9/11 US drone war, with the concept of the Signature Strike. A signature strike uses the logic of ad targeting, determining targets for death based not on knowledge of the target or certainty about their culpability, but based on data patterns and surveillance of behavior that the US, in this case, assumes to be associated with terrorist activity. Signature strikes kill people based on their data profiles." https://www.helmut-schmidt.de/en/news-1/detail/the-prizewinners-speech

@beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com it reminded me of something that either Timnit Gebru or Meredith Whittaker said about the use of AI to select targets in Gaza. Can’t find it again though. Might have been this paper: https://arxiv.org/html/2410.14831v1

Propellant, by @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com

“As it turns out, that “growth at any cost” mindset does have an incredibly high cost. Because what all this corporate flexibility means is that — in addition to all their other many failings — these “AI” platforms are machines of war and death. Anyone infuriated by the military-industrial complex should stop supporting them.”

I thought I might give the new UK Government AI Skills Hub a go. It fails at the first step, refusing to validate Irish names.
