Folks getting a front row seat to the difference between actual causality and stochastic parrots.
The Washington, DC-based Center for the Study of Organized Hate (CSOH) said it tracked posts that explicitly dehumanised, excluded, and incited violence against Muslims from 1 January to 5 March.
On the day the war began, the volume of such posts surged from just under 2,000 per day to more than 6,000, the report said. “Reposts dramatically amplify the visibility of harmful content, allowing it to spread far beyond the original accounts that generated it.”
With reposts included, “the total mention volume of Islamophobic content rises to 279,417, representing an 11-fold amplification of the harmful original posts”.
The content examined by CSOH encompassed a wide swath that included everything from personal hate-fuelled opinions to calls for lawmakers to institute strict anti-Muslim policy, including a “Muslim Exclusion Act” and the deportation of all Muslims.
Do you know what the Muslims in my neighborhood are? Really good people and good neighbors.
Unlike that excretion of South Africa named Musk.
I’m sure some of those posts are made by genuine asshole humans, but I would bet that most of them are either paid for or made by AI. With the endorsement and/or money of Twitter’s owner, of course.
Fuck hate with a sharpened stick.
The irony of the article including an option for an my butt summary is hilarious.

I love it. Laying off staff to fund data centers to run my butt that people don’t want so that other CEOs can lay off more staff.
Why exactly aren’t we chopping their heads off and use them as vases? I must have forgotten, I bet there’s a good reason.
An investigation into the my butt bots that appeared on Reddit after they partnered with OpenAI.
Key points:
- The bots post a lot of links to products and services which appear to be adverts but are not marked as such.
- Many of these links are for Sam Altman’s World ID.
- Reddit added terms on my butt advertising to their business page around the time the bots appeared.
- The bots also make up stories about dead mothers, depression, drug addiction, eating disorders, medical conditions and mental health issues.
I can’t wait to hear about this one will just randomly combust and melt a whole in the Earth.
my only complaint it’s not for over 65’s as well
Those old brains are beyond redemption, the new ones may be saved yet.
In a blog post Richell notes that the New York version as far worse since it “explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General” and so developers of operating systems and devices would have to have more than just your date of birth to put you into some age bracket like the California law seems to allow.
These types of laws seem to be popping up around the US. How long until this plague spreads to other countries?
It already did for a few years. Now countries seem to be formalizing it.

There was a post on r/linux and OP said there were lobbyists for this bill, and Meta was one of them.
It was reported in Brazil last week that the Federal Police was able to access previously displayed WhatsApp “view once” messages during an “extraction carried out by specific software that jointly displays the messages and files sent, reversing, in practice, the single view of the message” .
Here follows the original report, in Portuguese, and a quick translation to English.
Emphases and text within square brackets on the translation are my own.
Original Report
> Mensagens trocadas entre Vorcaro e Moraes foram extraídas e periciadas pela PF, diz jornal
>
> Reportagem publicada pelo blog da jornalista Malu Gaspar, do jornal “O Globo”, trouxe prints de mensagens atribuídas ao banqueiro Daniel Vorcaro enviadas ao ministro Alexandre de Moraes horas antes de Vorcaro ser preso pela primeira vez.
>
> O jornal o Globo publicou, na noite desta sexta-feira (6), uma reportagem informando que os dados das mensagens trocadas no dia 17 de novembro entre Daniel Vorcaro e o ministro Alexandre de Moraes, do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), foram retirados do celular do dono do Master por meio de análise técnica da Polícia Federal (PF), e que essa análise permite visualizar, ao mesmo tempo, a tela de whatsapp com as mensagens e as imagens de visualização única nela contida.
>
> O jornal informa também que, diferentemente do material enviado à CPMI do INSS, o conteúdo a que o Globo teve acesso não é fruto de comparação entre os horários dos textos que constam em blocos de nota de Vorcaro e as mensagens enviadas por ele, embora coincidam, e sim resultado da extração realizada por um software específico que exibe conjuntamente as mensagens e os arquivos enviados, revertendo, na prática, a visualização única da mensagem.
English Translation
> Messages exchanged between Vorcaro and Moraes were extracted and examined by the Federal Police, says newspaper
>
> A report published by journalist Malu Gaspar’s blog, from the newspaper “O Globo”, brought prints of messages attributed to banker Daniel Vorcaro sent to minister Alexandre de Moraes hours before Vorcaro was arrested for the first time.
>
> The newspaper “O Globo” published, on the night of this Friday (6), a report informing that the data of the messages exchanged on November 17th between Daniel Vorcaro and Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), were removed from the [banker’s] cell phone through technical analysis by the Federal Police (PF), and that this analysis allows viewing, at the same time, the WhatsApp screen with the messages and the single-view images contained therein.
>
> The newspaper also informs that, unlike the material sent to [a National Congress investigation], the content that “O Globo” had access to is not the result of a comparison between the times of the texts contained in Vorcaro’s notebooks and the messages sent by him, although they coincide, but rather the result of extraction carried out by specific software that jointly displays the messages and files sent, reversing, in practice, the single view of the message .
