🇸🇪 I kontrast till Lewi Pethrus så tyckte Stanley Baldwin om grisar:

Baldwin greatly detested both Rothermere and Beaverbrook, saying to “call them swine was to libel a very clean, decent animal”.

Wikipedia: Foe (unit)

A foe is a unit of energy equal to 10⁴⁴ joules or 10⁵¹ ergs, used to express the large amount of energy released by a supernova. An acronym for “[ten to the power of] fifty-one ergs”, the term was introduced by Gerald E. Brown of Stony Brook University in his work with Hans Bethe, because “it came up often enough in our work”.

Via a XKCD alt text.

Surprise level: zero on my part. Of course this was a viral stunt to scam crapto.

Obligatory mention for the peanut gallery that in the Old Speech of Earthsea (the language of the creation, that only dragons speak fluently but wizards learn, where words have the magical power of creating by naming true things) rock is tolk and sea is inien so that Earthsea is tolkinien.

🇸🇪 Nu har jag läst artikeln i Personhistorisk Tidskrift om Lewi Pethrus och hans förhållande till radikalnationalismen i Sverige (se nedan). Fascinerande! Jag hade ingen aning om hur han och den del av Pingströrelsen han ledde förhöll sig till Hitlertysklands judeförföljelser.

Uppskattar även detta citat av Pethrus. Stämmer väl!

Vilket förfall! Vilket fruktansvärt förfall! […] Tvi för ett sådant släkte! Man talar om svin, att de äro ruskiga, ja, man säger, att människor äro svinaktiga. […] Men då det gäller omoral, så är svinen helgon jämförda med stockholmarna.

Hade inte KD blivit så in i bängen upprörda över detta att dom hotar tillsätta en arbetsgrupp för att sätta dit författarna hade jag aldrig vetat att tidskriften ens existerade. Så bra jobbat där.

🔗 Baldur Bjarnason: Have I hardened against LLMs?

Tech companies have done everything they can to maximise the potential harms of generative models because in doing so they think they’re maximising their own personal benefit. More use equals more profit. But it also equals more harm.

🔗 Shelfies #74: Paul McAuley

Here are three shelves of non-fiction books about London, where I’ve lived for the past thirty years. There’s been a vague attempt to sort this somewhat random selection by subject – people, rivers, night, crime, war, and so on. But quite often I’ve squeezed in new acquisitions wherever there’s a space, and a second stack of paperbacks lurks behind those overhanging the edge of the middle shelf.

🔗🇸🇪 Lewi Pethrus är inte ett offer – tidningen Dagen får problem när nya forskningsrön skaver

Det finns flera liknande berättelser om Lewi Pethrus. I Filadelfiakyrkan predikade han att Förintelsen var ett nödvändigt ont i Guds eskatologiska plan – Europas judar hade inte självmant flyttat till Palestina och ”judefrågan” därmed förblivit olöst. Nu, menade Pethrus, hade nazisterna jagat judarna tillbaka till sitt hemland.

Länge gick rykten om att Pethrus var fascinerad av Hitlertyskland. Det senaste året har ny antisemitismforskning bekräftat den bilden.

🔗 404 Media: Exposed Moltbook Database Let Anyone Take Control of Any AI Agent on the Site

Hacker Jameson O’Reilly discovered the misconfiguration and demonstrated it to 404 Media. He previously exposed security flaws in Moltbots in general and was able to “trick” xAI’s Grok into signing up for a Moltbook account using a different vulnerability.

O’Reilly said that he reached out to Moltbook’s creator Matt Schlicht about the vulnerability and told him he could help patch the security. “He’s like, ‘I’m just going to give everything to AI. So send me whatever you have.’”
