Alpha School, an “AI-powered private school” that heavily relies on AI to teach students and can cost up to $65,000 a year, is AI-generating faulty lesson plans that internal company documentation find sometimes do “more harm than good,” and scraping data from a variety of other online courses without permission to train its own AI, according to former Alpha School employees and internal company documents.

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility

This account seems oddly familiar for some reason... oh well, no matter.

Speaking at an event held by his far-right Religious Zionism party with local settlement leaders, [Finance Minister] Smotrich laid out what he said should be the goals of the next government, including doing away with the 1990s-era Oslo Accords and applying Israeli sovereignty to the West Bank, a move akin to annexation.

“Destroy the idea of an Arab terror state; finally, formally and practically cancel the cursed Oslo Accords and get on the path of sovereignty, while encouraging migration both from Gaza and from Judea and Samaria,” said Smotrich, using the biblical term for the West Bank. “There is no other long-term solution.”

The idea, which critics say amounts to ethnic cleansing, has been pushed repeatedly by far-right leaders, including Smotrich, in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack, but until now has largely focused on Gaza.

Thanks for sending us straight to hell Genocide Joe, you could have stopped this but you handed the US military machine over to fascists with a faith and convinction that was unwavering. Now our souls must pay the price for complicity in genocide while Joe Biden's waits in hell for his geriatric body to finally shut down and follow his conscience home.

Ring’s controversial, AI-powered “Search Party” feature isn’t intended to always be limited only to dogs, the company’s founder, Jamie Siminoff, told Ring employees in an internal email obtained by 404 Media.

In October, Ring launched Search Party, an on-by-default feature that links together Ring cameras in a neighborhood and uses AI to search for specific lost dogs, essentially creating a networked, automated surveillance system. The feature got some attention at the time, but faced extreme backlash after Ring and Siminoff promoted Search Party during a Super Bowl ad. 404 Media obtained an email that Siminoff sent to all Ring employees in early October, soon after the feature’s launch, which said the feature was introduced “first for finding dogs,” but that it or features like it would be expanded to “zero out crime in neighborhoods.”

“This is by far the most innovation that we have launched in the history of Ring. And it is not only the quantity, but quality,” Siminoff wrote. “I believe that the foundation we created with Search Party, first for finding dogs, will end up becoming one of the most important pieces of tech and innovation to truly unlock the impact of our mission. You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods. So many things to do to get there but for the first time ever we have the chance to fully complete what we started.”

A lot of people are going to die, including US service members, this is a solemn moment to reflect on how this will be a choice we could have avoided. We must never forget in the aftermath of trauma that this will is not a random act of nature but a targeted, willing dismantling of geopolitical global stability that was undertaken precisely because it could not be revoked.

I hope I am wrong, but I see no point in putting energy into hoping this war will be avoided at this point given all the obvious signs the US military has likely already committed itself to the warpath. I doubt these are real negotiations with Iran, the way I see it they are far more likely the establishment of pretext for rationalizing violence while keeping the target distracted until the Winter Olympics end so the news can focus on Trump's "heroics" and all the weapons can be gathered in place.

Further it is likely Trump needs an excuse not to be able to give Ukraine air defense missiles so that Putin can continue to terrorize Ukraine, an attack would be extremely convenient for Trump and his daddy if a whole bunch of super expensive US missile interceptors were used.

If you don't think we are about to go to war with Iran, ask yourself this - Do you think Trump is capable of NOT using all the shiny powerful military toys that have spent weeks gathering to grab headlines and distract from the Epstein Files? All the military might is concentrated in an unmistakable posture of war, there is no other strongman move Trump can take than to order them to fire, telling all of that military might to back off now would require restraint which Trump does not possess even in homeopathic amounts and it also would superficially feel unsatisfying from a PR standpoint which is all Trump cares about, especially when people are talking about how he is a pedophile..

US Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday declared that “the wars of the future are being planned here in 'Israel'. Because if you're not one step ahead of the enemy, you suffer,” during a press briefing at The David Kempinski hotel. Graham pointed to 'Israel’s' rapid development in advanced weaponry as critical to regional security. A “21st-century Manhattan Project”

During his multi-day visit, Graham met with Netanyahu and other senior officials to discuss a burgeoning US-'Israeli' defense partnership. He suggested formalizing collaboration on weapons development, comparing it to a “21st-century Manhattan Project,” emphasizing that maintaining a technological edge is crucial for the survival of both nations.

Ok maybe I should put it diffrently. I don't mean like an attack dog. More like a security dog and not have him picked on by bigger dogs he can stand up for himself. The only training school we have is loaning him out to the local sheriff which they don;t gurantee his safety.

War is coming
