There is an "esoteric" material world, in the joists, in the terraces and bracers, the rafters of the mind and the meta mind, the supermind and the undermind, the joints and the stomaches of the world and it's city-things.

I tend to disagree with both the dual use minimizers and maximizers. It's simply a fact that you need to use missile parts to participate in an advanced economy. Silicon valley was a defense hub. There is no practical way of policing this line anymore

This is the "school official"[*] that universities are rushing to sign contracts with. Contracts that require the university to indemnify OpenAI. [*]: "school official" means that it "performs an institutional service or function for which the agency or institution would otherwise use employees"

Ikner complained repeatedly from the start of his chat history about a young woman he was fixated on dating, who he said had “ghosted” him. Four nights before the rampage, he fantasized about having sex with her and asked for flirtatious language. ChatGPT gave him graphic suggestions and then helpfully asked if he wanted the script to be “more dominant, more romantic, or dirty talk-style.” “Dirty talk,” he replied. ChatGPT then escalated to descriptions of violent sex, with Ikner asking for the responses to be “masculine” and the “hardest” and “roughest you can go.” ChatGPT told him repeatedly that it was important to have the woman’s consent and “keep things respectful and within boundaries,” as it offered to “turn it all the way up” and “bring the fire.” In total, it gave him about nine book pages worth of content, producing scenes that depicted Ikner sexually humiliating and physically overpowering the woman. It made multiple graphic references to him choking her and leaving her unable to breathe and “gasping for air.”

Beautiful notes, Hazel! On a related note: the Green Healthy Schools campaign, led by @alignny.bsky.social, seeks a triple-win for environmental justice, public education, and organized labor through renovating NYC's public school infrastructure. You can learn more about the campaign here.

Green Healthy Schools - ALIGN

The Problem: New York City public school infrastructure is in crisis. There are over 1,200 public school buildings across New York City (NYC), many of which are on average 75 years old. Decades of dis...

Notes from today’s “Healthy Air in NYC Schools” meeting. I learned that there’s a bill we can support RIGHT NOW (NYC Council Introduction 699) which would set air quality standards in schools and implement real-time reporting! intro.nyc/0699-2026+

Notes and drawings of speakers from the Leadership Action Hour on Healthy Air in NYC Schools. “THE problem in SE schools is getting fresh air vs climate control” (Anisa Heming, Director, Center for Green Schools, US Green Building Council) “Occupancy-based climate control is an important retrofit. Data needs to integrate into executive decision making.” “If the property management is looking at the data, facilities staff will too.” (Thomas Yeh, Technical Advisor, NYSERDA) “HVAC management needs to incorporate energy & IAQ goals” (i forget who the speaker was) “Intro 699: City council bill for continuous AQ monitoring in schools and administrators to set standards” “Reduce sickness: reclaim learning time, less burden on caregivers (illness + staying home to take care of sick child)” “Air purifiers improve test scores THE SAME DAY” “If you’re upgrading HVAC for energy reasons, put in environmental monitoring! If you’re monitoring, you WILL USE LESS ENERGY.” (Thomas Yeh) “NYC is the country’s largest school district and 61% of schools have documented ventilation or air handling issues.” (I forget the speaker) “Presenting information in ways that are easy and accessible helps bring on community partners for outside pressure.” “How do we create consequences for councilmembers who don’t support? We need students and teachers with AQ monitors reporting on the bad quality!!”(Jenille Scott, Climate Director, ALIGN) “Stakeholders care about health, human rights, pandemic preparedness, climate resilience, workplace safety, accessibility. It doesn’t matter the angle, as long as you can get their attention and get them moving.” “Stories trump great stats!!” (Dr. Bronwyn King)

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

I really wish that people who feel compelled to weigh in on how maskers behave would like, talk to a single one. Part of the reason we know this is denialism and blanket prejudice is ignorance like this, posted without a second thought.

What else does the new spending tell us? He's spending in all the major flip races, but how about expanding his spending in: IA-02, R+4 ME-02, R+4 OH-05, R+12 OH-09, R+5 TX-15, R+7 TX-35, R+4 TX-34, R+3 TX-23, R+7 WI-03, R+3

I would do some valor stealing to rock a ring made from a collapsed bridge. If any engineer stopped me on the street and challenged my engineering knowledge, as they surely do, I would just explain that I had a terrible head injury and forgot all my engineering. That's double stolen valor.

Reminder that in Canada upon becoming an engineer you get an iron ring made of a collapsed bridge, purposely designed to be uncomfortable, to remind you that your ethics demand you give a fuck even about the boring grudgework of such as double-checking your math. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Ring

The CIA has concocted a new story to drive up war hysteria in Europe: Russia will reportedly launch a missile attack on either Spain, France, or Italy, with missiles fired from ships. Whip up more fear to sell more arms and increase military-industrial complex profits.
