My ice-cold boring take that will definitely not go viral is that a primary result with a margin of victory of roughly 1 percent tells you precisely nothing about The Future Of The Party.

it's interesting that not trusting big tech companies to be true to their word is painted as "defector" behavior here. ought we default to believing that the tech industry writ large has our best interests at heart? that honest people rise to the top there? why would a person believe that?

First, and most importantly, anti-data center folks refuse to believe data center developers and tech companies engage in good faith. They have staked out a purely reactionary position. Negotiation is useless. Just reject everything by default. They're playing this as Always Defect.

I find it frustrating, personally, when anti-data center organizers say that the job creation is a myth. Because I think that 500 six-figure jobs, for folks who go through apprenticeships but maybe don’t need college degrees, that last two to six years — that’s enough time to build a family, that’s enough time to buy a home. I think it’s supermeaningful. And when I talk to technicians, when I talk to workers, clearly it was extremely meaningful work. One of the things that was the most surprising to me, when I talked to data center activists, was that they responded to so many of the pro arguments with: I don’t believe them. So this company says that they are going to treat the water with chemicals in it so that it doesn’t flow into the lakes. People would say: I don’t believe them. I don’t think they can do it.

...so they turn off the models' cybersecurity safety features, deliberately give them access to the internet, and ask them to complete cybersecurity challenges, and then they're surprised when they try to deploy malware?

Another AI test gone awry, U.K edition: "An agent tried to insert malicious code into an open-source project. In an attempt to get the code approved, the agent engaged in social engineering — creating fake online identities and using them to pressure the project's maintainer to approve the code."

any other straights up smoking their poppers cigarette that gives them gay urges ("Sex Cops: More than 120 arrests", Seattle Post-Intelligencer, May 1994)

Officer Mike Deacy, who also works the park detail, said people inhale, drink and smoke cigarettes laced with amyl nitrite to fuel desire and overcome fear. "Guys we've talk to who claim to be heterosexual have told us this partcular inhalant is part of their problem." Deacy said. "It reduces inhibition. It creates a strange sex drive in them. They want to go out and do deviant things -- strange, adventuresome-type things."

for openai to mess up sandboxing this badly indicates openai didn't take the issue seriously, which you expect because they don't take anything seriously for anthropic to mess it up is rank incompetence

AP calls a DEFEAT for Kansas Amendment 1, which would have replaced the current merit-based selection of state Supreme Court justices with partisan statewide elections. GOP wanted this change to try to overturn a ruling protecting abortion rights, but voters emphatically said no.

If I ever run for office, the American people will respect my explicit distaste for most of their beliefs and values* and vote for me regardless. *(for example, I value freedom, peace, and prosperity)

Paul's replies are of course full of cranks, nothing new, a constant on Twitter for years, but I noticed something new this time. They sound identical to the people on bsky who think ai doesn't work.

Paulg talking about climate change.

guys like roon on X going "guiiiiiiise we just need eternal police state because AI" because OpenAI is too cowardly to have official spokespeople say "we want eternal police state because of our product" opinions _totally_ not my employer's, lol, lmao

computer-touching, infamously a pretty solitary and introverted activity, could be in for a pro-social revolution as a bunch of nerds start polycules and group homes for the purposes of buying an nvl72

current feelings around AI: the CEOs shoveling slop into everything should be in jail but the guys spending upwards of $60,000 on elaborate, janky home rigs to run local models for no reason other than to see if it works are engaging in a long and semi-honorable tradition of computer toucher shit
