www.reuters.com/technology/o... This is an admission of guilt IMO. In CA, AI deployers are liable for their AI deployments outcomes. If anyone else broke the CFAA of 1986 it would be jail time. Hold them accountable. Making false claims of "rogue AI," which is impossible, is also wrong.

quality research and activism aren't mutually exclusive the same way "innovation and regulation" aren't. in fact, an underlying theory of change and vision that drives research strengths the quality of your academic scholarship, not weakens it any way 2/

But for some reason every liberal media outlet has to give Trump maximum airtime for the outrage bait every single minute? I sincerely think we'd never had him as president at all if they just covered him as much as they did all the other fringe candidates

Fucking surreal

www.npr.org/sections/the... That was 2016. I'm realizing both that this was essentially a singular fulfilled campaign promise; and how often he gets let off the hook for his crime. It's a grim, self fulfilled prophecy facilitated by spineless opposition. The future depends on higher moral courage.

Donald Trump: 'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters'

The GOP presidential candidate cracked the joke at a campaign stop in Iowa on Saturday. Less than two weeks from the state's caucus, Trump had been remarking on his supporters' loyalty.

The defeat of Orban is exciting to me, also, because I feel right now we may get to see it modelled what it looks like to actually drain the swamp. And we should take notes.

In this bizarro timeline I've a strange (and hopeful) feeling that that Trump is gonna get 25th amendment-ed meaning Iran will have caused US regime change.

Who wants to invest in this company? "With expectations for Tesla performance having collapsed for all financial and performance metrics across all time periods through the end of the decade...." Is the cult about to lose a lot of money?

Why are we doing this genAI stupidity? It's so dumb. Let's be very clear. With AI there are 3 possibilities with none having good outcome. (1/2)

Because people say "mid" now to mean "mediocre" ... whenever I see the words mid century modern I'm imagining something else. I petition to rename it to meso century modern. In fact all mids -> meso. What can go wrong?

The Undeworld will literally be lined with data centers beneath us. And we are in the time of data colonialism. I have a new piece up at www.liberationtoolbox.io/hell-is-made...

Hell is Made Up of Data Centers

The Underworld will literally be filled with data centers beneath us.

Some people are apparently claiming that Silicon Valley Tech Bros have consciousness, like normal humans. As someone who studies these issues carefully, I can assure you that this is an utterly preposterous claim. Yes, they can mimic humans, but they are fundamentally incapable of original thought.

Every mediocre software middle manager in the world right now: "Of course, fire your most experienced engineer. Brilliant, reduce that OpEx let's go, you're thinking like a VP." .-.-. "Chat our PnLs are 😱 and quality is 😨." "You gotta hire bro! What did you fire your team or something?"

omg, nailed

Dems in WA want to pass the strongest restrictions on new data centers in the country, and the Techbro billionaires are trying hard to stop it. We need to get loud and ask our elected officials to pass this bill - and make it even stronger while they're at it 👉 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Idk if this is Mandela effect but did carrots used to taste less sweet? I feel like when I was a kid they tasted rootier. Now they are sweet. They kinda don't taste like the color orange should taste.
