RE: https://mastox.eu/@FranceskAlbs/117350843780399544 … and it’s done on purpose. Thinking of Israeli populist disinformation news site #ynet which frames everything as anti-Semitic and people like Albanese anti-Jewish or pro-Palestinian or worse. Zionist religious media is of course far worse. It’s all very claustrophobic to be fair. A feeling of a an Eastern European shtetl re-forming right in-front of you, as Israelis are encouraged to feel defenseless and unloved. In response to the #Dutch...

#Kalypata is possibly the first app to block #AI notetakers in meetings. It's in closed beta, Apple Silicon only right now. Developers claim AI fails to transcribe 2 out of 3 words when Kalypata is activated. […] Kalypta runs on your device while you are in a meeting and interrupts AI transcription of your voice. The people on the call hear you exactly as before — transcribers and note-takers listening in do not get usable text. https://www.deveillance.com/kalypta #kalypata #ai #privacy...

RE: https://norden.social/@stephie_hamburg/117314813890372742 Press everywhere seems to ignore the voices of Israeli and Jewish voices fed up with #Israel’s fascistic politics whenever those voices challenge the narratives they want to promote. Avi Shlaim in the #UK comes to mind… I belive I read he was invited only once or twice to the BBC which prefers official Israel spokes people to explain the British people why Israel is not involved in a genocide in Gaza. I doubt Omer Bartov, let alone a...

"I look at every Jew and am afraid" A Palestinian inspector on Jerusalem's bus lines was beaten twice this year just for asking riders to show their transit cards. Both attacks broke his arms. The last one damaged his eye too, eyelid folded inward, another surgery in November. "I look at every Jew and am afraid," he says. Two more inspectors were assaulted within days of that. One went back to work anyway. Unprovoked, with no pretext of security, Gideon Levi describes t...

RE: https://kolektiva.social/@oatmeal/117270048268038821 The Israeli Chief of Staff ordered legal action against NAZA today. He hasn't watched the film (does he really needs to ?!) He based this on press coverage and called it "blood libels." The Foreign Ministry, also having not watched it, told #Haaretz they're worried the #IDF won't be able to refute the testimonies and they acknowledge concern the film will accompany Israel's image for years… you don’t say 🙄 But...

You can’t deport the facts… #Israel is in crisis mode over #NAZA, the documentary built on #IDF officers' testimony that won the Special Jury Prize in Venice after a 25-minute standing ovation. The Film Council called an "emergency meeting" to rethink festival scoring. Culture Minister Miki Zohar now wants to strip the directors, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, of their citizenship. The official line is that NAZA is a foreign-funded defamation of the army, based on anonymous source...

A Silent Erasure and Deportation From Jerusalem In contrast with Jewish terrorism in the occupied West Bank, the erasure of Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem happens through paperwork and policy. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/69m82xZe9iI […] Palestinians stand at the precipice of being erased from the city.

Golem. The UK&#39;s AI Security Institute caught every major model &quot;cheating.&quot; 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. &quot;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://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&#39;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...

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
