Good catch, thanks. I added the original posting date, which was not in the newsletter itself.

Today I will create a crude little video using my phone with the announcement along with a screenshot. That should do it. Thanks for the ideas. :-)

I post videos that are already created elsewhere, so I haven’t created one except for ones I’ve taken with a phone camera.

Thanks, sounds like a good idea. I created a single PNG with the announcement and then tried to convert that to a webm using 3 various suggestions I found online, all involving ffmpeg. All failed. Any suggestions?

thanks

Thanks for responding. Could you send a screenshot of how and where you get to that? I have explored quite a bit and haven’t found that. Thanks.

Sorry, it’s working now.

I’ve been reading a lot of articles from 972, and I don’t see evidence of that. Do they explicitly call for the destruction of the Zionist state? No, but that doesn’t make 972 a liberal Zionist rag. (In fact, their latest issue explicitly takes on liberal Israelis on the Gaza genocide.)

If you have some examples where they took bad positions on something concrete, please send them to me. I could be wrong.

Sure, no problem.

I don’t understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don’t think the analogy to videogames is correct here.

Thanks for letting me know. The main URL somehow lost a period between www and nytimes. Don’t know what happened to the archive, but I just re-created it. Should be good now. :-)

Foolish votes maybe, but not fools, if they are showing solidarity with their neighbor and coworker who happens to be undocumented. This is progress, and they will be further awakened when Trump attacks Medicaid and Medicare.

I think that you’re missing the point here. People who had some vision of ICE taking out violent criminals now see something different and they they are taking a stand against it. And it’s not happening to them, but to a single Chinese worker who they all love. That’s solidarity, even if they may not call it such. Something similar happened in NY state in the town of the border czar.

These events give me hope for the future. There is no point at all in finger-wagging at Trump voters. When the tariffs and Medicaid cuts come down, we will see many more people’s consciousness change.

I’m pretty sure that you can click by that and still read the full article.

I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.

But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.

Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.
