I meant to guide this discussion but something has come up here with the kiddos so I'll have to circle back.

OK folks, serious discussion. Let's put all emotion aside (as much as possible) and ponder the ultimate outcome if the slogan "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" were to become a reality. Assume it is not hyperbole and that the people who chant it genuinely want it to happen. What would it actually *mean* for the Israelis and its Jews in particular? What would it mean for the Palestinians and the greater Arab world, and the world in general?

This was NOT on my bingo card.

Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales is all in for Kamala Harris.
The former official who served under George W. Bush’s administration called Donald Trump “the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation.” Gonzales added: “For that reason, though I’m a Republican, I’ve decided to support Kamala Harris for president.”

I’m glad he is country over party. I hope more Republicans see the light.

MAGA fans pretend that Donald Trump is a strongman leader — but in reality he's so terrified of Kamala Harris that he's refusing to do a second debate.

Retweet if you think that Trump is scared of Kamala!

No, Mr. Trump, we are NOT a “nation in decline.” YOU yourself are clearly in decline, but that’s a personal problem. As a nation, we are, in the words of one of my best bosses ever, “excellent and getting better.”

NATURE:
AI models collapse when trained on recursively generated data

"Model collapse is a degenerative process affecting generations of learned generative models, in which the data they generate end up polluting the training set of the next generation. Being trained on polluted data, they then mis-perceive reality."
