    @RadicalAnthro for what it is worth, I introduced Terrace at the Paris EvoLang conference a couple of days after the death of Nim. I expressed my condolences. He was completely indifferent.

    This is really important. By throwing money at just one form of racism, all the other forms are neglected. https://live.thepoint.com.au/2026/10/the-point-live-rba-to-face-estimates-as-new-inflation-data-laid-out-greens-leader-to-front-national-press-club-for-first-time-as-it-happens/?post=aa470ae1fa#aa470ae1fa

    The fact that Palestinian representation in the Knesset would give either side of the Israeli election a majority but those sides will not join with them is an indication that Israel will never be a democracy until they come to terms with the need to recognise the Palestinians as equal partners. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/27/palestinian-parties-knesset-election-exit-polls-redraw-israel-political-landscape?CMP=GTUK_email

    @molly0xfff@hachyderm.io surely the whole point of AI is that it will make LLMs from existing stuff (without regard to copyright, right). So a new AI thingpedia would be trawling Wikipedia and would have to be a simulacrum of the original from which it derived its model. The copyright issues will be enormous, but that is also why they are important.

    @RadicalAnthro Phil worked in the Darwin Hospital and we followed up by drawing the attention of the doctors to the question. It was a bit scary.

    RE: https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/116179410900136068 So true. He never had any basis for good judgment, but the forces that can blackmail him for his involvement with Epstein are forcing has risk-taking which imperils us all, even outside Washington and Mar a Lago
