This attempt to construct a narrative of persecution around being a white guy in America is at base, an expression of profound jealousy and insecurity towards people who have to overcome challenges they will never face

How did he pass is job interview? The same reason he's all over the press & everyone in the "left" is captured by these people. I'm gonna call it like it is, once again, its ******RACISM********* Y'all can't imagine that WE are the experts.

100GB+ frontier models aren’t 50KB virus you could pass around by emails. As if there are tons of H100 sitting idle with inference stack ready everywhere. How did this guy pass the job interview at Anthropic as a “researcher”? Quote tweeting a tweet that says: Rohan Paul @rohanpaul_ai Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned) "We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating." ---- From "CBS News" YouTube channel, (full video link in comment)

I’m happy to have Labor Day twice but let’s remember why en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day

President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe.[18] In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative,[19] formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law he signed in 1894.[2]

US capitalists executed the leaders of the May 1 1886 strike for an 8 hr work day. In 1889 socialists declared May 1 Int'l Workers Day to honor them, creating a beloved holiday worldwide, but not in the US, where Labor Day was moved to September to erase workers' struggle from the public mind.

May Day Is Born News of the tragedy sent shockwaves through the labor movement worldwide. In 1889, socialists declared May 1 International Workers Day – or May Day – to commemorate the Haymarket martyrs and build international workers’ solidarity. Today, May Day is celebrated in over 80 countries, with mass rallies and a day off from work. But the holiday that was born in Chicago is not officially celebrated in the U.S. In 1894, Congress declared Labor Day a federal holiday, to be observed the first Monday in September. Although there was pressure to set the holiday on May 1, President Grover Cleveland – who wanted to distinguish Labor Day from Chicago’s workers’ uprising – refused. In the 1930s, many U.S. unions organized May Day celebrations, with millions of workers marching in parades in New York and other cities. In 2006, hundreds of thousands immigrant workers marked the holiday with protests against an anti-immigration bill. May Day, the international symbol of labor solidarity, lives!

fwiw I think that AI is very clearly leading to a huge huge uptick in security issues everyone but it doesn't require extreme AGI so much as man we have a lot of bad code to exploit, not to mention how much easier phishing has gotten

ALL THIS. If you want a debate club, go back to high school, or find some organization where adults live out their high school debate club fantasies. I don't care which, just keep your dippy debate bro shit out of my mentions.

And let me be super clear about something else: When I drop knowledge on topics like racism, or white nationalism, or the far-right weirdos that we are letting run our country, I'm not here to "exchange opinions" or have "healthy debate" with some rando's alt account. 🤷🏿‍♂️
