Would be great if you all stopped anthropomorphizing unethical software that has actual negligent and very guilty humans behind it.

The slaughter of migrating birds in Lebanon (and across the Mediterranean) is an international disgrace. The hunters do it for kicks! No other reason. The only people who seem to be doing anything about it are the heroes at @CABS_REPORTS - who are deserving of your support!
🚨 In the central Lebanese mountains, illegal shooters are targeting protected species like honey buzzards, hobbies, and Levant sparrowhawks. In just a few days, our field teams documented nearly two dozen shot migratory birds at critical mountain passes.

There is no "super intelligence", there is not even "artificial intelligence". These are just marketing terms. In reality, all of AI ist just a bunch of programs, written by humans, and executed on a computer. Thus all risks caused by AI are the result of *human* activity.
We need to educate the public about the nature of AI, now. The public discourse is totally misguided and shaped by unrealistic fearmongering and other narratives that are out of touch with the technical reality. The obvious sign of this is the talk about "dangerous" models.

Extraordinary scene in the Atacama desert of South America. Historically one of the world's driest locations has been completely transformed by heavy El Nino rain, leading to the proliferation of stunning flowers from long-dormant seeds.

70% of the entire UN delegation walked out as Netanyahu walked up to the podium. This is how you treat a war criminal.

Sea turtles and other threatened wildlife are already facing mounting threats from pollution, habitat loss, and development. 🌊🐢 Call your senators and representatives to urge them to block this recent change and restore protections for wildlife 📲 ow.ly/voW350ZQGEy

having a copy of the actual check used to bribe a Senator is some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen

“You’ve seen me deliver.” That’s what Collins told Kao, he said, as her staff pressured him to up his donations. Kao wound up giving the Collins super PAC $150,000 in late 2019. Weeks later, according to an email, Collins’ office agreed to support $32m in new Navatek projects.

The Florida Senate threatened journalists at the @orlandosentinel and @SunSentinel with possible arrest if they published a report - that taxpayers funded - that showed insurance companies made misleading claims about losing money. We published anyway.🧵 orlandosentinel.com/2026/09/…

New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF

#SusanCollins is corrupt AF. Is anyone in law enforcement going to do something about it??
I assume everybody in the Capitol Hill press corps will be asking about this extraordinary corruption this week? One would have to be intentionally turning a blind eye not to.

Holy shit! The title DOESN’T do this justice it should read: “Susan Collins took Bribes; Trump FBI covered it up” -Scott Reed (of the Collins super PAC) raised money from a government contractor illegally via a shell company in exchange for offering government contracts. -He assured the contractor that Collins was aware of who the donation was from. -Kao (the contractors CEO) told the entire scheme to the US attorneys office hoping for leniency. -He provided a ***50-page document*** of details, including emails. -In document he named other GOP staffers and members of Congress who he had bribed via this donation scheme. -Trump had the FBI and US attorneys office drop the investigation.
