' #Musk’s fixation on what he calls the “woke mind virus” suggests both an understanding of humans as machines and an obsession with the threat of left-wing contagion: a conviction that people can be hacked like software and that progressive ideas—cultural Marxism, gender ideology, and so forth—act on the system as a kind of intellectual malware.'

Question for #AI experts:
Is there currently a form of AI/LLM that _never_ hallucinates?
As in - is it possible to place a constraint on the algorithm/processing of data that prevents deviation from data that has been provided?
Bc I keep thinking about people in healthcare talking about using these tools for diagnosis, and I don't understand how anyone could ever trust something that might just make up what isn't there..

American privacy rights just got a little stronger. The Supreme Court has limited the use of “geofence” search warrants in a major legal ruling that is likely to have broad ramifications for individuals and law enforcement officers. The top court said that “an individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy in his cell-phone location information.” So, does this mean authorities will have to get a warrant when asking tech companies for user location data?

Australia recently became the first country to pass legislation banning under-16 children from social media. Now the government plans to strengthen the law, citing evidence that the ban hasn’t worked since it went into effect last December. Other countries such as Britain, Canada, and Brazil are following Australia’s lead in introducing similar restrictions. Read more from @AssociatedPress:

Just met my first #glasshole in person
Asked him why he was wearing them
He said he'd "the feeling he needs them" because you can hear music with them ¯\(°_o)/¯
And saw no problem with #privacy at all - from what he'd said he didn't know the concept...
Got a bit pissed that I asked him, bc he saw it as "his decision" & "freedom" to wear a piece of surveillance tech in his face
How do you guys act in situations like this? Or am I too 2010ish ;)?

#JeffreyEpstein’s “genius” was to use the rape of children (there were boys too) to organize and radicalize who he saw as the new USA #oligarchy emerging in Silicon Valley and ―up to the now significant year of 2005―, mostly went to work for Wall Street or the military-industrial complex.
yes, there were people from other countries, but when you see his emails, it’s clear he was organizing the #techbros #gringolarchy.
so, if #tech is the #broligarchy’s #war machine, they’re military targets.
