They’re afraid. Hit them harder.
“White House press secretary…seemed unusually defensive”
“avoided the kind of victim-blaming tirade that has become de rigueur for Donald Trump’s administration“
”called Pretti’s death a ‘tragedy’
“refused to endorse adviser Stephen Miller’s slander of Pretti”

“For the past seven months, Bovino has been the public face of [ICE’s] traveling immigration crackdown”
“Bovino worked outside his agency’s chain of command and appeared to relish his role as a political actor”
“sudden demotion”

El Centro El Centro El Centro
Was Bovino the freak who took an entire attack squad of ICE goons up California a couple hundred miles to Bakersfield (think it was) to harass Hispanic farm laborers out in the fields, completely out of the blue, a year ago or so?
Thought I'd heard of him before...
So Bovino's not "retiring" he's returning to his original post / field of operations
"On Jan. 7 [2025], the day after Congress certified Trump’s election victory, Bovino sent 65 of his agents into Kern County, six hours north of the border, to conduct a raid that has shaken immigrant communities and agricultural businesses across the state, and has set the stage for a legal battle over how the government carries out mass deportations."

Read that: exactly the same modus operandi and exactly the same wording he and Noem and the rest of them use right now

@inthehands 😆🤣 Bovino, "commander-at-*large*"?!?!
I don't *want* to make a short joke. I really shouldn't. I'm trying not to.
But I just can't *be the bigger man*. 🤣🤣🤣

My latest calls included: “Fewer agents is not enough. More oversight is not enough. Demoting people is not enough. Destroy ICE and CBP. Wipe them out. Burn them, bury them, and salt the earth. Eradicate them like a cancer.”

These are *all* pathological liars

@inthehands I hope he's evicted upon his return to El Centro, or slapped with ridiculously high HOA/property tax fees.
Better yet, I hope someone has burned down his house. Let him be humbled by the homelessness he fought so hard to brutalize.
Fuck him forever. I hope he doesn't have to be on planet Earth for much longer.

@inthehands
Bovino belongs in prison, not heading off into a cushy retirement gig. -

@inthehands Will Homan really be much of a difference? I only reason Bovino was sacked, I fear: I produced way too many "unfortunate" pictures. His terror was total in line with the regime's doctrine.

RE: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/115957125308834255
IT IS WORKING. If you haven’t called today, call again!!
Today the Trump mob is hinting and waffling and shuffling and floating half-measures, and none of it means anything except this:
They are afraid.
They are afraid of losing what little support they have. They’re afraid of losing funding. Redouble the pressure. Press the advantage.
@inthehands Emailed all 3 of my reps today. Defund, abolish, impeach.

@cwebber Thanks for sharing. To my ears, it rhymes with this response to the Microsoft-copilot-github encroachment: https://githubcopilotinvestigation.com/

@cwebber@social.coop exactly. AI can only exist because of human-made content from the Internet, and because humans have been talking with each other over the internet for roughly 30 years at this point, and most of these conversations have been archived somewhere.
So what would happen if this archive disappears? Maybe not the physical medium of the Internet, but the fact of humans speaking with each other over the Internet and recording their conversations, that can disappear. Less and less often people are asking questions of other humans in forums like Reddit or Stack Overflow, and more and more often humans ask questions to AI apps where the conversation cannot be used as more training data as this would create a destructive feedback loop in the signal that the AI is built to predict, which can lead to the AI behaving erratically.
(I originally wrote the above on my blog post from last August, I'm saying this to not plagiarize myself.)
It is kind of like the Internet is a forest of natural content. AI companies have now cut down the forest without planting new trees. They have all the raw material now and are trying (and failing) to profit from it, but in 5 years that information may become out-of-date, will any humans be asking new questions of each other on platforms not mined for content by AI companies? If not, these LLMs will rapidly become more and more innacurate over time.

Recently, "defund ICE" was the moderate position.
Now, "prosecute ICE" is the moderate position.
-
@cwebber Already the forums for VOIP software and embedded stuff (Arduino etc) are fully enshittified - they were toxic enough pre-AI) and folk have simply stopped contributing there (I think this happened just *before* LLMs became popular, so the quality of whatever does go to the training sets isn't going to be much good).
I suspect another factor is when people are getting paid for their work *and* depending on their employers upselling SaaS or other commercial services, they are less inclined to share stuff with the competition (I had to figure out my PJSIP trunk and securing it for myself, most of my findings are tooted here on Fedi as I'm not even sure where else to put them)

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight. https://michiel.buddingh.eu/enclosure-feedback-loop

A bunch of people are about to be thrown under the bus by Trump.
