Is AI superintelligence inevitable? AI safety researcher David Krueger says it doesn’t have to be. Krueger, a professor at the University of Montreal, says “we need to mitigate the risk of extinction” with regulation and moratoriums to halt the development of AI’s computational power and complexity.

New podcast! This week, House Republicans announced a new privacy bill called the SECURE Data Act. Eric Null, director of the Privacy & Data Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology, says it has significant structural weaknesses even as it seeks to preempt stronger state protections.

I have a migraine, but I'm so done with seeing these everywhere every few months that I had to send an email — and I know others have too. @irisvanrooij.bsky.social @dingemansemark.bsky.social Please, they must stop doing this. I'm so tired of this nonsense.

I sounded the alarm about Donald Trump’s sons backing drone company, Powerus. Now, Powerus wants to sell drones to countries under attack by Iran. Are Trump’s sons cashing in on the war their father started? Americans deserve answers.

We spoke with @wsj.com and @theguardian.com this week on how to make sense of OpenAI's latest policy rebrand. While the doc has a lot of the sounds of wanting more regulatory oversight, the company has lobbied aggressively for a deregulatory stance toward AI: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

AI companies know they have an image problem. Will funding policy papers and thinktanks dig them out?

The aggressive effort by major players aims to reshape the narrative as polls show increasing public disapproval of AI

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz. NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

Her husband is a double amputee in ICE prison. She confronted Kristi Noem over its cruel conditions: ‘I have a fire inside’

Mildred Danis-Taylor dropped everything to advocate for the release of her husband, Rodney Taylor. A brutal year of legal and health challenges led her to Capitol Hill

The US reportedly waited to strike the bridge in Iran a second time until rescue workers and others in the area gathered to help the wounded, which then killed at least eight people. Authorities in Iran are describing it as an act of terrorism.

I'm going to keep beating this drum: those numbers don't include the people who were snatched off the street, driven around for awhile until they consented to face scans, and then dumped back out into the snow.
