@Free_Press@mstdn.social @cstross@wandering.shop https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/3/questions-over-minab-girls-school-strike-as-israel-us-deny-involvement Analysis of the attack from satellite images. And a note on the claim of a failed iranian launch: "open-source verification tools – specifically reverse image searches and geolocation using visual landmarks – quickly revealed that the most widely shared image in this campaign, which is claimed to show the impact of a failed Iranian missile that fell on the school, has nothing to do with the city of Minab in the first place"

The right to know guys are always worth the money, but sometimes, hooo-boy do they knock it out of the park.

So now if you refuse an LLM code review, it defames you on an external public website.

Given that we train these things on the contents of X.com and 4chan, and both the LLM and the publisher are legally exempt from liability for published content, how long till the first instance of an LLM publishing criminal allegations if you reject a PR from an open source project, you paedo?

We've famously seen humans do that, and spicy autocorrect just repeats what we say...

@cstross@wandering.shop @oddhack@mstdn.social the idea of "merely" being adjacent to "fine gael" is a bit... hard to watch. This is Fine Gael, aka the blueshirts, founded out of admiration for Mussolini after all. The local political glossary goes: Fianna Fail destroyed the country, Fine Gael sold off the remaining bits, Sinn Fein blew up the country for decades, Labour aren't, Social Democrats aren't Labour, and the Independents aren't sane.

@cstross@wandering.shop I do not believe I will ever understand this thing that the UK excels at where they'll look at a political party that wavers between 70% and 90% doing the right thing with a historical track record that includes *creating the NHS* and go "weeeeeeelllllll yeah, but it's not 100% is it?" ... and then vote for the Tories. Who have killed more english people than the wehrmacht and done more damage to the UK in a week than the IRA could do in 30 years. I mean, it's like S&M but unhealthy.
