if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

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.

I love you all but you are incredibly (understandably) reactive. It’s making you SO easily manipulated by rage baiters. When you see something without context, a headline or a snippet of a quote, take a deep breath and look into it to see if you really should be upset. Please protect your hearts.

El-Sayed: "Once a government agency like ICE is told it has impunity to do the worst things and violate the highest law of the land, which is the Constitution itself, I don't think you can reform or retrain. I think we need to start from scratch ... I think we need to abolish it."

i am so tired of massive corporations extracting as much wealth as possible while giving back as little as they can get away except when it comes to drenching the worst and shittiest political candidates in endless money

there it is

Stop Saying There's a Nursing Shortage

The U.S. may have less of a shortage of licensed nurses than a shortage of nurses who are willing to work in bedside jobs that have become increasingly demanding.

This is the key takeaway: Haley Stevens got everything she could have asked for. AIPAC spent the most it ever has. The party pulled out all the stops. Millions were even spent to spread the false idea that the most popular president in modern US history endorsed her. And it still wasn’t enough.

Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.

thus do we understand half the reason for the NYT’s seething anti-Mamdani grudge

The Wall Street Journal@wsj.com · yesterday

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Unfathomable

the biggest LBO in history RIP EA, you should've died twenty years ago

Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · yesterday

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

Hii I'm Thorn! I make art sometimes :D You might recognize my work with @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social on Girl Frame and A Most Bloody Devotion.

“Unlike KOSA and many of the other age verification laws that have spread across the country, the SCREEN Act does not have bipartisan support. It’s the latest in Lee’s repeated attempts to criminalize content he and his co-sponsors personally consider immoral.”

The SCREEN Act is a Christian Nationalist Nightmare

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the arc...

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 3d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

these days "militarism" and "masculinity" are increasingly converging in the mainstream. like an eclipse. "manly" = "martial." men see themselves as disposable instruments of violence. almost every contemporary masculine signifier can have a line drawn from it to the military. it sucks, yo.

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

"Platner’s first deployment, in early 2005, began at the Abu Ghraib prison complex, part of which the military had rechristened Camp Redemption." missed that detail the first time around!

Still trying to wrap my head around it being a WA Ballot initiative if I wanna say yes or no to having kids' genitals be looked at before Sports

We put this to a public vote, we put this to a fucking public vote, I am going to have to fill in a goddamn circle next to "Actually I Think You Shouldn't Obsess Over What Is Under Someone's Pants Before They Play A Sport"

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.

Well, this should be an interesting development. Telegram just got de-listed from the App Store globally. Not sure what that means yet but I'd highly recommend making sure you have at least two forms of connection to the people you care about most.

There was a very strong “the machine built for eating people must get back to eating people as soon as possible” vibe coming from halls of power and platforms of influence.

the Mountain Goats@themountaingoats.bsky.social · 4d ago

I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.

I'm late to this, but an absolute banger from @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com here (full piece: www.liberalcurrents.com/editors-note...)

Periodic reminder: The integration of generative AI models into every sector of society is the installation of ideological and epistemic choke points, regardless of who made the model.

The spread of Chinese AI models with built-in censorship mechanisms could quietly shape the global information environment for the worse.
