Nikki Haley: "finish them"
*Why is Nikki Haley scrawling genocidal
messages
on Israeli bombs?*
My conjecture is, she is trying to out-hate the fascist leader so as to be chosen as his
running mate.
Whether or not Israel's atrocities in Gaza add up to enough to be qualify as "genocide", there
is no doubt that what Haley advocates would be genocide.
Let's not lose sight of
where we want to end up.

Anti-western, militarized society, RUS
Putin's propaganda and news blackout are effectively teaching thousands of young Russians to
want
to fight for Putin.
This is a sad change. It used to be that
many
soldiers in the Putin forces looked for an
opportunity
to surrender, and some eagerly joined Ukraine's army.

How poor search profits Google
How
Google decided to make its search work worse so as to make more profit.
If I had experienced the recent enshittification of Google Search with so-called "AI", it might
have moved me to stop using it. However, I had stopped using Google Search many years ago
because
LibreJS could
determine that Google Search wouldn't function without running nonfree JavaScript code.

Programmers' ChatGPT answers
Experimenters passed 517 questions from Stack Overflow to ChatGPT to see what output it
would respond with.
Around half the
answers, when interpreted semantically by humans, turned out to be incorrect.
This is to be expected, because ChatGPT is not intelligent and does not understand the
meaning of text that it operates on. It can do more sophisticated text manipulation than
Query Replace, but it has no more knowledge or understanding than Query Replace.
