"It was an extraordinary show of force. Dozens of federal agents wearing helmets and green camouflage arrived in two hulking armored trucks and other unmarked vehicles, and were soon approached by a crowd of #immigrant activists and supporters. Some agents carried riot shields and others held rifles, as well as shotguns that appeared to be loaded with less-than-lethal ammunition."

IS IT ETHICAL TO LURE UNSUSPECTING LOCALS TO MY BLOOD DUNGEON EVEN IF I PAY YOU? #NYT
It would be a real shame if people started opening incognito browser windows to prove the NYT is right about 'ai' being used to bypass their paywall....
'Open' AI is now being forced to retain 'all' logs (which is really only a small subset of logs, but it effects a lot of people who previously had the ability to opt out or delete their data) 'indefinitely' due to a court order in the NYT lawsuit
The order is so that the NYT can prove that people are using #AI companies (specifically #ChatGPT ) to get around the #paywall to access #NYT articles.

"A board overseeing #Florida’s public universities unexpectedly rejected his bid to lead the 60,000-student Gainesville campus. The officials expressed concerns about his leadership at the #UniversityOfMichigan, where he was president, criticizing its sprawling diversity, equity and inclusion program and what they characterized as its failures to curb #antisemitism."
"Dr. Ono’s effort to leap from #Michigan to the red-state higher #education politics of Florida, known for trying to stamp out “woke ideology,” ended with him out of a job and the $1.5 million base salary it came with."

Nearly 50 people have been reported killed and 300 others wounded in incidents near the Israeli-backed distribution center, which was designed to keep food out of the hands of Hamas.

"The rollout of the new aid effort over the past week by the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation, an effort conceived in #Israel and endorsed by the US, was supposed to help #Palestinians get aid while keeping it out of the hands of #Hamas.
Instead the effort, criticized by multiple aid groups and the UN, has devolved into scenes of chaos and death. The #NewYorkTimes spoke to eight witnesses who described how attempting to reach the sites had become a life-threatening endeavor."

#DavidBrooks of the #NYT just gave #Democrats some unsolicited advice, expectedly permeated by false premises, fallacious conclusions, and privilege.
Brooks basically calls for Democrats to abandon their areas of strength, give up the institutions that make democracy possible and sustainable, leave behind the people who, unlike the likes of Brooks, are financially insecure, and all he offers to replace all that is "y'all have to come up with something entirely new, I don't know what."
No.
Here is my problem with paywalls in a nutshell. I fully understand the concept of needing to pay for content at times, but the nickel and diming is really insidious. There are things I’d love to subscribe to but I’m already more than maxed out on monthly subscriptions. I know this will never happen, but it would be great if monoliths like the #NYT who have many publications under their umbrella that are paywalled would offer just one subscription for all their publications. But why would they do that? They’re making out like bandits. Sigh… https://mastodon.social/@RealJournalism/114636425734070332
"The headline is written in such a passive, amorphous way that it sounds like the aid deliveries themselves are deadly. Like the bags of flour are picking up assault rifles and firing on desperate Palestinians queuing for food or something.
The sub-headline is no better: “Israel’s troops have repeatedly shot near food distribution sites.”
Oh? They’ve shot “near” food distribution sites, have they? Could their discharging their weapons in close proximity to the aid sites possibly have something to do with the aforementioned deadliness of the aid deliveries? Are we the readers supposed to connect these two pieces of information for ourselves, or are we meant to view them as two separate data points which may or may not have anything to with one another?
The article itself makes it clear that Israel has admitted that IDF troops fired their weapons “near” people waiting for aid after they failed to respond to “warning shots”, so you don’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out what happened here. But in mainstream publications the headlines are written by editors, not by the journalists who write the articles, so they get to frame the story in whatever way suits their propaganda agenda for the majority who never read past the headline."
I modelli di business delle #Bigtech sono predatori per necessità?
Probabile, perché la loro esistenza si basa sulla "fame" di dati
Dopo i dati personali, ora si saccheggia ogni fonte per addestrare gli #LLM
Esempi: contro #Anthropic c'è una class action per avere usato milioni di libri protetti da #copyright, più una causa da parte di #Reddit, contro #OpenAI c'è una causa del #NYT, contro Cohere una causa di CondéNast e Vox Media... per citarne alcune.

>> “Gaza’s Deadly Aid Deliveries,”
>> If you were among the majority of people who only skim the headline without reading the rest of the article, you would have no idea that Israel has spent the last few days massacring starving civilians at aid sites and lying about it. … that it is Israel who’s been starving them in the first place.
>> … in mainstream publications the headlines are written by editors, not by the journalists who write the articles, so they get to frame the story in whatever way suits their propaganda agenda for the majority who never read past the headline.
>> … last month, “Israeli Soldiers Fire in Air to Disperse Western Diplomats in West Bank”…
>> … Like diplomats are crows on a cornfield or something. Oh yeah, ya know ya get too many diplomats flockin’ around and ya gotta fire a few rounds to disperse ’em. Just normal stuff.
‘McSweeney's: New York Times’ Style Guide Substitutions for “The President Violated the Constitution”’

Great reminder why I give thoughts and prayers daily to the bankruptcy of the billionaire-owned press like the NYT and WaPo.
"Despite the endless handwringing about Biden Old, a sitting president acting like a cross between a 4Chan thread and Q truly is a major concern — one the mainstream media actively minimizes.”
While some are celebrating Berlin for its city marketing because of an advertisement in the New York Times to recruit academics from the US, others are pointing out on LinkedIn that they are losing their jobs at Berlin universities despite their excellent performance because Berlin has to cut costs. This shows the dark side of this strategy. The promises will probably only be fulfilled for a very small proportion of academics. And the hopes that Berlin places in this strategy will probably soon be replaced by disillusionment.
I can't help but notice how immensely profitable it was for the Washington Post and New York Times to use yellow journalism to bring Trump back into power.
Does anyone with power in this damned nation understand that there are 400 million guns here, and that people are incensed?
I'd legislate with the knowledge that there is a target on my back, and some 100 million potential Luigis out there losing everything because the Washington Post and the New York Times smelled money and fascism, and they liked it in a sexual manner.
Rolling in the dung now, aren't we, "journalists?"
Journalism is a scam. Two pigs proved it.
Oh really, #NYT?
The white supremacist who can’t attend an event or live interview or chainsaw propaganda convention without wearing pitch black sunglasses at least half the time might have been doing drugs “well beyond occasionally”?
You fucking *think*?

"Before hostilities resumed, the #UnitedNations operated a vast and effective aid delivery system inside #Gaza. During the recent cease-fire, we were delivering assistance like essential vaccines and medicine, lifesaving nutrition services and access to clean water through more than 400 distribution points, including in sites close to shelters for displaced families. #UNICEF and our partners went even further, delivering aid door-to-door, reaching malnourished children and pregnant women directly in their places of refuge."
