Jesus goes to Hollywood - Sternstunde Religion - Play SRF
Pier Paolo Pasolini, Mel Gibson, Martin Scorsese. Sie alle haben das Leben Jesu auf die Leinwand gebracht. Volksfrömmigkeit, Sozialkritik, aramäischen Text zum Aufsagen: Dem Sohn Gottes wurde fast alles in den Mund gelegt, was der Zeitgeist erforderte. Eine Reise durch die Jahrzehnte der Filmkunst. Von der Volksfrömmigkeit zum Blockbuster, vom Musical zur Sozialkritik – Jesus Christus hat in der Filmgeschichte viele Gesichter. Und oft diente die italienische Stadt Matera als Kulisse für …

Das Fediverse hat mit dem #2MR heute so ein richtiges live Feeling, wie Twitter zu seinen besseren Zeiten.

"It starts, specifically, with the sight of working class people being used as weapons against themselves. Not by accident, not through some failure of communication or lack of the right messaging, but deliberately and with considerable skill" -- @… writing very much what I'm feeling today.
Worth a read.

I have a feeling that Wu Yize has played a deal of pool in the alleys of Lanzhou.

Official Israeli Persian account pushing a conspiracy theory that civilian casualties in Iran are being faked: straight from the Gaza playbook.

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

#CarlHeastie continues to be awful, but NYers maybe want to give his office a call to tell him to stop blocking the Stop Super Speeders bill. His office # is 518-455-3791, I just called and someone answered right away.

A parasite that has been eating people for 3,500 years is about to be wiped off the planet.
It infected 3.5 million people in 1986.
Last year, it infected 10. And I have not seen it make a single front page
