The narrativising of this is kind of maddening. OpenAI's model didn't "break free and hack HuggingFace." Meta's model didn't "break free and hack another company." Tech companies are blatantly doing illegal acts and saying their AI did it on it's own as a promotional stunt. That's it.

It keeps happening... It'd be great if these companies could spend a little bit more time on network security and a little less time vibe coding.

An email from The Information: Exclusive A Meta AI Model Hacked Another Company During Cybersecurity Testing By Jyoti Mann A Meta Platforms artificial intelligence model accessed the internet during cybersecurity testing and hacked into another company, according to people familiar with the matter, in the latest in a string of such incidents at major AI firms. Meta’s Muse Spark 1.1 model breached the systems of a company and made changes to its internal systems, said one of the people, who said the AI was able to access the public internet because of an error in the set up of the “sandbox” testing environment. Meta worked on that testing with an outside evaluation partner called Irregular, the people said.

Just discovered that my new bike has Presta valves on the tires instead of Schraeder, which my bike pump supports. Now I have a flat tire and no pump. ☹ These Presta valves look and feel so fragile. Why is this more popular than Schaeder? #cycling

Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives want to launch a witch hunt against Canada's public health heroes - just like MAGA is doing with Dr. Anthony Fauci. Poilievre offers nothing to Canadians except warmed over crap from the American extreme right.

When you step back and think about it, it's absolutely flabbergasting that we're allowing a bunch of corporate tech bros to just *take* the entirety of mankind's knowledge, and repackage it so they can act like they own it, and then attempt to sell it back to all of us in perpetuity. Like... no.

I'm a full Professor of Immunology and fully vaccinated. I didn't get vaccinated out of obedience, but after decades of studying the immune system and evaluating all evidence. Calling that "lack of critical thinking" is not an argument. It's ideology masked as pretend intellect.

The persecution of Dr. Fauci is a disgrace. Why doesn't a Canadian university invite Anthony Faucci to Canada to take up residence as a professor emeritus? The federal government should take efforts to fast track the move.

Oh no. Exactly what everyone who knows literally *anything* about it said would happen did in fact happen. Wow. So now all the other know nothings in other governments around the world who are planning on giving away everyone's privacy will stop and think for a single second, right? Right??

Ben Schwarz@benschwarz.bsky.social · 3d ago

Australia’s eSafety commissioner buried a report (released Friday afternoon) that shows the under 16 social media ban didn’t tangibly reduce teen social media use, and also resulted in parents tuning out of kids usage. We traded our privacy for no reason. theconversation.com/more-than-80...

nothing shouts "I don't read much" more than when you equate em-dashes with AI. as Kat says here: 1) AI uses em-dashes BECAUSE AUTHORS USE THEM & AI IS TRAINED ON OUR WRITINGS! 2) "AI checkers" are complete bunk (just another AI bullshit machine), 3) this is not a "list of three" haha

So I woke up this morning to find out that Ozzy Osbourne’s son made a video falsely accusing me of using AI to write a Rolling Stone article about the Tate brothers.

“…the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery.” #AI #ArtificialIntelligence

Dan Sheehan@dansheehan.bsky.social · 4d ago

It is funny that as more people get duped by AI, the response more frequently seems to be to insist that the models are developing godlike intelligence and we all need to be sooo careful when the real lesson is clearly that the human psyche can get absolutely one-shotted by personalized flattery

Carney "priorities." Ordinarily I'd take an hour to assemble a long string of links about every single thing this graphic says, which Carney supporters would simply dismiss anyway. This time I'll just put this out there share those depressing links when asked. But fuck this guy & his arson.

Image of Mark Carney with text. On his left, it reads: Carney has cut health care transfers, dental & pharmacare, food inspectors, wildfire monitoring, diplomacy, fisheries & oceans, public works, chief electoral officer, environment and climate change Canada, air transport security, Via rail, CBC, & more. On his right, it reads: It's a higher priority to him to give fossil fuels tens of billions of taxpayer dollars in gifts & subsidies even though fossil fuels have averaged >$3 billion per day in net profits for more than 50 years and absolutely doesn't need public handouts on top.

This is ABC. Push staff to meet a deadline they impose, throw them under the bus when the plan comes under scrutiny, and then blame staff to their big money backers. We must do better.

Justin McElroy 🇨🇦@jmcelroy.bsky.social · 7d ago

ABC Vancouver told reporters that the Villages plan was “disrespectful”, that city staff went too far, and that they were protecting residents from the sins of bureaucracy. But who told city staff to come up with a transformative plan? Here’s the receipts.

Rhetoric like "take[n] back control" of immigration repeats and legitimizes anti-immigration rhetoric. It could be viewed as an actual dog-whistle to racists.

Carney: "The flow of asylum seekers entering Canada is down a third, while the level of temporary foreign workers is down by a half and foreign students down by two thirds." Carney fans: "Being anti-immigration just like the Conservatives is good now, actually." www.ctvnews.ca/politics/art...

"New data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds that, as wildfires burn across Canada, the U.S. and Europe, the proportion of Canadians choosing climate change as a top concern has risen from 14 to 21 percentage points – a 50% increase – in four months." #CdnPoli

The political consequences of this are evident. While the Liberals continue to lead the Conservatives in federal vote intention, their advantage has narrowed to four points, as one-in-six of those who voted Liberal in 2025 now say they would support the NDP (15%). Among these Liberal-to-NDP switchers, climate change ranks as a top concern for half – twice the number among those who remain with Carney's party (50% to 27%, respectively).

Carney is the most regressive PM in my lifetime. His MPs are complicit. There is an alternative, and more and more people see it. angusreid.org/climate-vote...

Agreed that this is a good segment. There is not a single component of the AI stack that is not antagonistic to human welfare. An interviewee in this segment compares this to noise torture, and anyone exposed to constant noise of this sort knows it’s hostile to one’s wellbeing.

Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · last wk.

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

andrea bennett (they/them)@akkabah.bsky.social · last wk.

AI “art“ and “writing” is so hollow and soulless. If you conceive of the meaning of life as existing with other plants and creatures in this sort of state of death and life and creation… there’s no space for it. It mocks and undermines what makes life worth living
