Just a smol with big opinions about AFVs and data science. The onlyfans link is a rickroll.

  • Explosive Media, known in Persian as Akhbar Enfejari, has denied it is backed by the Iranian government and its videos have reached millions of viewers across a range of social media platforms.

    Speaking to the BBC, the head of Explosive Media, who referred to himself as “Mr Explosive”, said his team consisted of fewer than 10 people and that the Iranian government was a “customer” of his company.

    NGL, confusing article. Not even sure why it would matter?









  • You’re being sanctimonious again.

    Nah, I was just being sarcastic. You were being a troll, it seemed fair. That said, ‘Sanctimonious’ (“Righteousness accompanied by an unwarranted attitude of moral or social superiority”) is how you’re behaving now. I never implied any superiority over other commenters, just that they haven’t expressed any condemnation of him in favor of discussing his work with a concerning amount of detachment - and that I’m concerned about the social realities that leads to that being normalized. It’s concerning, especially because as others have pointed out the fame that came from him being a terrorist has buried discussion about the work of the much better philosophers he (charitably) synthesized his ideas from.



  • I’m not sure it’s unwarranted to explicitly condemn the unabomber here, though. People are unironically praising him in these comments - if condemnation was as obvious as you implied you would have much stronger grounds on which to call me sanctimonious, but right now there’s plenty of people arguing the effectiveness of what he did in distributing his message and nobody that’s yet pointed out that he was a literal terrorist.








  • Spelling/grammar checking and machine translation have been in use for decades on wikipedia, the only difference is that AI has improved the usefulness of the tools for first-pass editing. I don’t believe the policy has even changed - you still had to be fluent in the language if you were using the old style MTL tools, too.

    Aside from generating videos of young girls with gigantic titties, this is the only thing generative AI is actually useful for.
