Trump says, "We're Gonna Take Over Our Capitol" (but he wouldn't spell it correctly), by which he seems to mean the building, Congress, not the city...but not via an election win. He means he's gonna take it by any means available.

@georgetakei They're starting to say the quiet parts outloud because at this stage apparently dog whistles aren't needed anymore. The MSM just ignores that they've become a nazi terrorist movement and most of the country is in complete denial -- even as they literally threaten violence.

Could AIs become conscious? Right now, we have no way to tell.

Scientists struggle to define consciousness, AI or otherwise.

@arstechnica Textbook example of “Betteridge’s Law of Headlines”:

"Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word ‘no’.”

@arstechnica any theory of consciousness that doesn't treat the entirety of the nervous system as the processing center (ie operating throughout the body, rather than solely localized within the brain) will fall short.

@georgetakei Anyone who votes for any republican is a traitor to the the United States. And as the Orange Tinted Toddler has been known to ask, "You know what they do to traitors in this country?"

We all know Donald hates losing. So, in his delusional mind, he never has and never will. Yesterday, writer Todd Beeton explained how Trump's denial of reality and his election conspiracy theories are now shaping the GOP. Tomorrow, Jay Kuo breaks the terrifying Project 2025 down into digestible, actionable bites. Don't miss either of these pieces at The Big Picture! https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-big-picture-july-10

How disinformation from a Russian AI spam farm ended up on top of Google search results

A fake article about Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife buying a Bugatti with US aid was promoted by bots.

@arstechnica it says more about people believing this nonsense than the propaganda machine in Russia. If people do not vouch the source, then they are part of the problem. Its still not illegal to think about things (yet), and those trolls spamming this, should be fined. It only suits to create distrust, disbelief and assists in polarising this world.

The people involved should be ashamed, albeit they probably are not.
