Just a normal functioning member of the human race, and there’s no way anyone can prove otherwise.

Just imagine the scenes at the glitzy ceremony, as the hosts - their faces pixelated out - open the envelope, and the heads of every intelligence agency in Europe are on the edges of their seats, waiting to find out if it was *their* spy who was the last one to tamper with it.

This issue was resolved by US v Morris, 928 F.2d 504 (2d Cir 1991), codified by the CFAA in 1996, and clarified by Van Buren v US, 141 S.Ct. 1648 (2021). They intentionally deployed an unauthorized access tool. It's no defense to say they didn't intend the resulting damage; Morris lost on that. 1/2

After Anthropic and OpenAI both admitted to their AI models hacking other companies, @lorenzofb.bsky.social and I wanted to find out: Who is legally to blame when an autonomous AI agent hacks something? Lawyers say it's really complicated! Bypass for ad-blockers: web.archive.org/web/20260803...

It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better

This is the bit I can never understand. Investment in renewable energy clearly has a fantastic payback, is the most Keynesian of ways the government could spend money and, as an afterthought, might keep the planet habitable for humans.

4/ Net zero is the cheaper path for Britain. @thecccuk.bsky.social ran the full numbers in March this year. Net zero pays for itself and then some. Benefits worth around £110bn a year out to 2050, overtaking the costs from 2029. Every pound spent comes back more than double.

Of course, the real story here is this: OpenAI: "Hey, we sucked at securing our test environment, and so our AI did precisely what we asked it to do" Anthropic: "Woah! Not so fast! We suck at security too!"

Graham Cluley@grahamcluley.com · 5d ago

Anthropic not wanting to be left behind by OpenAI, I see... No doubt someone in their marketing department was crying into their coffee that OpenAI got there first...

Sally Jameson when asked about letting the US use UK bases to bomb Iran: "The govt will always act within the best interests.. of the British people" How is it in our interest to help the US wage an illegal war that's slaughtering Iranian children & pushing up our energy prices?

The BBC and other broadcasters have swallowed the right's small boat invasion narrative hook, line and sinker. They have no interest in reporting a fall in crossings - especially as the weather cannot be blamed. Normal service will be resumed if numbers start rising again.

Jon Featonby@jonfeatonby.bsky.social · 2w ago

No arrivals by small boats for the last 10 days now. As of yesterday, 12,469 people had arrived so far this year across the Channel, down over 11,000 (47%) on the same time last year. More than 10% down on 2023 as well, which was when crossings were, by comparison to other years, lower.

The American mind cannot comprehend that there's at least one act that looks exactly like this at every regional British Pride, and dozens in the crowd who weren't born when their big single reached number 27 will know every word of it.

Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)

In others, notably ADHD and autism, rising diagnoses and referrals appear to exceed changes in underlying epidemiological prevalence and are likely to reflect a combination of: improved recognition changing help-seeking behaviour institutional incentives pressures within existing service pathways Across both ADHD and autism, best currently available population-based estimates remain relatively stable, while administrative diagnoses, self-identification and recorded service demand have increased substantially. In autism, the evidence also points to particularly rapid growth in identified need within educational systems, including increasing identification among girls and among young people without learning disability.These patterns suggest that rising demand is not simply the result of increasing prevalence, but of several processes operating simultaneously, including: real increases in distress in some groups improved recognition of previously unmet need changing expectations about support systems that frequently rely on formal diagnosis as the primary route to assistance Across the system, support is too often accessed through pathways that are slow, fragmented and heavily dependent on diagnostic categorisation. While diagnosis remains essential for some forms of clinical decision-making, the evidence suggests that current arrangements do not always provide the most effective or efficient way of identifying and responding to need. In particular, where access to support depends heavily on formal diagnosis, demand for diagnostic assessment can increase more rapidly than systems are able to respond, generating long waiting times, duplication of assessment and pressure on specialist services. The next phase of the review will therefore focus on clarifying the relationship between distress, diagnosis and need, and on examining how systems might respond more effectively to these patterns. A central objective will be to identify opportunities for developing more coherent, evidence-informed care pathways that enable support to be provided earlier and more proportionately, while ensuring that specialist services are available in a timely and appropriate manner for those whose needs are most complex.
