One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

NEW from me: The National Association of Evangelicals (along with several other religious groups) are now joining the USCCB in condemning Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth’s plans to publicly execute Nidal Malik Hasan, also saying doing so promotes a “culture of death.” religionnews.com/2026/10/09/h...

dc statehood is non-negotiable after trump's actions in his second term. republicans despise the people of the city that hosts them, and there is little reason to think that, now that the seal is broken on treating them as an occupied population, a next republican president will be more restrained

As Governor, I will take on gang violence by establishing a Regional Gang Violence Task Force, help local police hire & retain more officers, & make sure police and first responders have the resources they need. I’ll bring my experience as a former prosecutor to the job of keeping Minnesotans safe.

California just adopted a law to guarantee that... kids who are detained in the state are guaranteed the right to hug family members who visit them. On the one hand, at least they have that right now. On the other hand, wtf? boltsmag.org/california-p...

This New Law Will Make It Easier for Californians to Visit Family in Prison - Bolts

Families of incarcerated people have long faced arbitrary denial of visits and harassment by prison staff. They advocated for reforms that passed last week.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Over the past year, Anthropic has repeatedly flirted with the idea that its AI models could be conscious in some way. In February, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said on a podcast, “We don’t know if the models are conscious.”

A Korean king ordered a bunch of linguists to come up with a written language to increase literacy due to the difficulty of chinese and they came up with one of the easiest to read languages in existence.

Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

1) Putin doesn't have diesel to spare. 2) Diesel is cover for lifting sanctions. 3) Putin's statement sounds like he's offering an Iran escape hatch, which I've been predicting. 4) Half of the MASSIVE bribes Putin is offering now don't exist. 5) But he does mention security coop -- Kash.

Telling that Wes Streeting considers someone diagnosed with ADHD has been 'written off'. Also telling that the government commissioned a review in the face of independent reviews finding there is no overdiagnosis, just increased awareness & historic underdiagnosis of girls & women.

REwadent Evil@ewacat.bsky.social · yesterday

Pleased to announce that ADHD is being overdiagnosed again according to the BBC and pathetic skidmark Wes Streeting, so now - during ADHD Awareness Month no less - it's time to give it up and just be normal. Let it go. Just turn it off and get on with things www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Today at The Reveal: I review OTHER MOMMY. You've seen the trailer (over and over again) now learn about the movie. Also, @scotttobias.bsky.social takes a look at THE LAST FIRST: WINTER K2.

A second batch of reviews of new movies looks at a horror movie in which Jessica Chastain plays a double role and a documentary about a troubled climbing expedition.

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.

labor and management are obviously oppositional, but with white collar and ESPECIALLY creative work leads to a lot of people not realizing that they technically are managers and now there is opposition in an area that also needs to be collaborative (hence the bad blood here)

the most fascinating part of this to me is all the parts talking about how murky the roles are at a game dev studio and how that greatly complicates the very concept of trying to unionize a game studio (and all the people who later became anti-union simply because of how of big a mess this is)
