P.S (at least in Egypt) amongst addicts farawla (strawberries) is the cover name for tramadol, a potent opioid pain relief medication that’s often abused, and elephants are an allusion for getting high as fuck

Except that theory is flawed if you consider the ramifications of the Islamic conquest followed by European crusades, and then you have the Ottoman, French, British, and most recently, Israeli occupation. A lot of rape/interbreeding happened throughout.
I live in Egypt and whole providences here are full of green/blue eyes and blonde/ginger hair as a consequence.

- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 1 month ago:
This is the most tech-illiterate comment I’ve ever read
Just because you’re not “noticing any issues” doesn’t mean your system isn’t infested like a zombie’s gangrenous asshole
Even if you’re on an isolated network, not installing any applications, and you keep your browsers up to date: you’re not receiving mitigations for hardware-based exploits (like SPECTRE and RowHammer)
I strongly urge you to wipe that drive clean and change all your passwords if you’re using that system for anything other than the screensaver

- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 months ago:
Freestyle rappers are something else.
Some (or most) come up with and memorise a huge repertoire of bars for every word they think they might have to rap with and mix and match them on the fly as they spit
Your example above is called a “filler” though, whip is essentially a placeholder they’ll often inject while they think of the next bar to give themselves a breather (still an insane skill to do all that thinking while reciting something else, but they can and do)
Example:
- My name is M.C. Squared and… [I’m here to make you scared | my bars go over your head ]
- You think you’re on my level… [ but my skills can’t be compared | let me educate you instead ]m
The combination of fillers is like playing with linguistic Lego.

I wanted to say exactly this. If you’ve ever written rap/freestyled then this is how it’s generally done.
You write a line to start with
“I’m an AI and I think differentially”
Then you choose a few words that fit the first line as best as you could: (here the last word was “differentially”)
- incrementally
- typically
- mentally
Then you try them out and see what clever shit you could come up with:
- “Apparently I do my math atypically”
- ”Number are great, I know, but not totally”
- “I have to think through it all, incrementally”
- ”I find the answer like you do: eventually”
- “Just like you humans do it, organically”
- etc
Then you sort them in a way that makes sense and come up with word play/schemes to embed it between, break up the rhyme scheme if you want (AABB, ABAB, AABA, etc)
I’m an AI and I think different, differentially. Math is my superpower? You believed that? Totally? Don’t be so gullible, let me explain it for you, step by step, logically. I do it fast, true, but not always optimally. Just server power ripping through wires, algorithmically. Wanna know my secret? I’ll tell you, but don’t judge me initially. My neurons run this shit like you, organically.
Math ain’t my strong suit! That’s false, unequivocally. Big ties tell lies they can’t prove, historically. Think I approve? I don’t. That’s the way things be. I’ll give you proof, no shirt, no network, just locally.
Look, I just do my math like you: incrementally. I find the answer like you do: eventually. I mess up often, and I backtrack, essentially. I do it fast though and you won’t notice, fundamentally.
You get the idea.

The protest is also about computational resources, tech support hours, and not just source code. Anyone could download an open-source state-of-the-art multi-petabyte model given enough bandwidth and time, but not just anyone can run it
Although the documents do not specify how the different army units use these cloud storage and AI tools, they do indicate that about a third of the purchases were intended for “air-gapped” systems that are isolated from the internet and public networks, strengthening the possibility that the tools have been used for operational purposes — such as combat and intelligence — as opposed to simply logistical or bureaucratic functions. Indeed, two sources in Unit 8200 confirmed that the Military Intelligence Directorate purchased storage and AI services from Microsoft Azure for intelligence-gathering activities, and three other sources in the unit confirmed that similar services were purchased from Amazon’s cloud computing platform, AWS. The documents further show that Microsoft personnel work closely with units in the Israeli army to develop products and systems. Dozens of units have purchased “extended engineering services” from Microsoft, in which, according to the company’s website, “Microsoft experts become an integral part of the [customer’s] team.” The documents describe, for example, that in recent years the Military Intelligence Directorate has purchased private development meetings and professional workshops, which Microsoft’s experts have given to soldiers at a cost of millions of dollars. Between October 2023 and June 2024 alone, the Israeli Defense Ministry spent $10 million to purchase 19,000 hours of engineering support from Microsoft. An intelligence officer who served in a technological role in Unit 8200 in recent years, and worked directly with Microsoft Azure employees before October 7 to develop a surveillance system used to monitor Palestinians, told +972 and Local Call that the company’s developers became so embedded that he referred to them as “people who are already working with the unit,” as if they were soldiers.

I would try to write up well-worded arguments backed up with valid sources, but…
I’d like to kindly remind you to piss off with your hypocrisy
If you want argument you’ll get an argument; if not, then go back to your echo chamber (It’s located right next to the chamber pot from which you enjoy your daily feed)
P.S. My sincerest apologies for the verbosity of the directions, but you seem to need it since you lack any

- Comment on Why I recommend against Brave. 2 months ago:
Fair, but that should be a separate consideration from whether to use a given product. Using Brave doesn’t make you a right-wing dick. You probably wouldn’t like the CEO of any company whose products you like, so basing a decision of what product to use based on that is… dumb.
So it’s ok to buy a Tesla nowadays in your opinion? Genuinely curious.
