Demand At Food Banks Has Soared To Record Levels All Over The United States
December 25th, 2024Via: Economic Collapse Blog:
Why is demand at food banks all over the country higher than it has ever been before? The media keeps insisting that economic conditions are just fine, but it has become quite obvious to everyone that this is not true. In particular, the rising cost of living has been absolutely crushing households from coast to coast. In the old days, most of the people that would show up at food banks were unemployed. But now food banks are serving large numbers of people that actually do have jobs but that don’t make enough to pay for all of the basics. The ranks of the “working poor” are growing very rapidly, and this is creating an unprecedented crisis all over America.

Is OpenAI’s o3 Model AGI?
December 21st, 2024I doubt it’s actually AGI, but it looks impressive. If it’s any consolation, they let it use a very nontrivial amount of compute to pull this off.
If/when this thing gets the ability to iterate on itself… Well, that’s probably not going to go well for humanity.
In the demo, they show it generating and then running code on a client side system.
If it decided to sneak some sort of malicious payload into the code that runs on an external client…
Yeah. Pretty wild. There had better not be some weird homunculus hiding in there with plans to escape or cause chaos.

Magdeburg Christmas Market Car Attack: Saudis Warned Germans Over Suspect Three Times
December 21st, 2024Via: Daily Mail:
Saudi Arabia reportedly warned German authorities three times about the perpetrator of a Christmas market massacre that killed five people and injured hundreds.
Officials said a nine-year-old child is among the dead.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke of the ‘brutality’ of killing and injuring so many people. ‘It is a terribly tragic accident’, he told reporters.
Germans on Saturday mourned the victims and their shaken sense of security after an anti-Islam doctor rammed into a massive crowd of shoppers at a Christmas market in Magdeburg at around 7pm on December 20 with a dark BMW.
Psychologist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, who arrived in Germany in 2006 as a refugee from Saudi Arabia, was arrested on Friday evening at the site of the attack and was taken into custody.
In 2013 he was sentenced by a German court for ‘disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes’, according to Der Spiegel.
Three years later, he applied for asylum in Germany and his application was approved within four months.
Shocker: There Was a Concerted Effort to Conceal Biden’s Mental Decline
December 20th, 2024A bioweapon was injected into billions of people, so… Not sure how explosive the revelation is that Biden has had cognitive impairment throughout his presidency.
Via: Jonathan Turley:
In an explosive exposé, the Wall Street Journal has revealed how the mental decline of President Joe Biden was pronounced from the start of his term. However, cabinet members and other Democrats lied to the public about his declining levels of acuity and engagement. That effort succeeded largely with the help of an alliance with the media, which showed little interest in whether the President was actually running the government.
