New, by me: Read This Before You Buy That TV Streaming Stick
Security experts have been sounding the alarm for years about the risks of using generic TV boxes that promise unlimited content streaming for a one-time fee, warning that they secretly rent the user's Internet connection out to strangers. But a groundbreaking new analysis finds these devices also routinely spoof themselves as mobile phones clicking ads on AI-generated websites as part of sprawling operation that seeks to defraud online merchants and advertising networks.

In theory, Qwen local output could be also biased due to the bias embedded in the data they used for training. For example, if they used all Chinese history and political literature that would unavoidably present an entirely different picture from the global one. To some extent however it seems many Chinese models were trained primarily on Western literature which kind of undermined their own effort to make it politically correct. That’s probably the main reason for online filters, I guess?

First published casualty of the #Ukraine UAV attack on “civilian holiday camp, so deceptively described by ABC news a few days ago is the head of #Russia “Main Radiofreqency Centre”, general Mikhail Ivanov. Very surprising and totally unexpected 🤦♂️

You can’t get it any more wrong than ABC News who posted a story about #Ukraine attacks on “holiday camps” on the occupied territories illustrated by a photo from Ukrainian DSNS rescue operation after #Russia attack on Kyiv 🤮 The story is also bullshit, sources by local collaborationist Balitsky, while in reality all these camps were long taken over for residences by FSB and military.
