  • GENEVA, Switzerland — On Tuesday, United Nations’ flagship platform for artificial intelligence, The AI for Good Global Summit 2025, kicked off in Geneva. But the commencement of the summit wasn’t without controversy. Hours before the keynote speaker, Abeba Birhane—founder and lead of the TCD AI Accountability Lab (AIAL) and one of Time magazine’s 2023 100 Most Influential People in AI—was set to take the stage, she was asked by organizers to remove some of her slides.

    Specifically, the organizers wanted Birhane to “remove anything that mentions ‘Palestine’ ‘Israel’ and replace ‘genocide’ with ‘war crimes‘” and “a slide that explains illegal data torrenting by Meta.”

    “In the end, it was either remove everything that names names (big tech particularly) and remove logos or cancel my talk,” Birhane, whose research focuses on algorithmic bias and AI ethics and fairness, wrote in a Bluesky post.

    Whelp I guess we now know you can’t beat the TESCREAL cult by showing up to their propaganda summits and trying to do a TED Talk.



  • believe that i’ve seen versions of this attack where the spammer makes a few innocuous non-spam (but not contribution either) posts before going full LLM bot

    A more critical weakness is that these accounts only posted obvious spam; they made no effort to build up a plausible persona. Generating plausible human posts is more difficult, but broadly feasible with current LLM technology.

    i will have to screenshot next time and see what people think

    obviously they could be hijacked accounts and i might just be extremely judgey of your average twitter flight account








  • Decks went from GDPWin with intel HD 615 integrated graphics, running desktop windows in 2016 (we were amazed it could run 2011’s Arkham City 25 fps low (definitely playable! lmao)) to Steam Deck where people are still reasonably posting about it having console parity.

    RE “outdated soon”: this is a $350 handheld x86 computer with an APU powerful enough to drive complex 3d games at 720p. People are going to be buying Steam Decks until they stop making them. Capability and performance per $$ is extremely good for numerous use cases, including people who are gaming like OP.

    RE devs optimizing for SD/Switch2/XBS: i hope OP is right? definitely where non-AAA studios are going to be aiming, but AAA studios have weird corpo masters who rarely operate in ways that would make sense to cool people.
