Thanks to some recent high profile agent containment failures, I've made the difficult decision to release something I've been working on a bit early. The CUSTODY framework helps standardize nomenclature around agentic risk and provides pillars for containment. www.custody-framework.org

CUSTODY — A Containment Framework for Autonomous Agents

Seven pillars for containing autonomous agents. Classify by capability, contain below the agent, and let nothing outlive the assignment.

This is straight up treasonous. He’s blaming an American state for the actions of a hostile foreign state who he provoked with bombs. Imagine FDR blaming Maine for merchant ships getting torpedoed off its coast but reverse the positions of Pearl Harbor.

Q: Can you rule out that Iran is behind the water attacks? TRUMP: I don't think so. I think that Minnesota is behind it. You know who is behind it? Minnesota. Because they're grossly incompetent. I don't think there was an Iranian cyberattack. I think Minnesota ought to get its act together.

If you put together the season posters for Reacher they tell the story of a large man who can't remember where he put his keys.

Reacher Season 1 Poster. "Did I leave them in the bedroom?"Reacher Season 2, "No, I checked the bedroom. Did I leave them in the bathroom?"Reacher Season 3. "No, I checked the bathroom. Hey, have you seen my keys?"

Which is to say, in war, you always try to be smarter than your enemy, but there is a parallel competition, which is to bring a greater force against him—sheer force can undo many clever strategies, and nothing prevents it from being used equally cleverly, so it is purely advantageous. 6/11

Now, humane souls might easily think that
there's a cunning way to disarm or overthrow our opponent without producing too many wounds, and that this is the true tendency of the art of war.
However good this might sound, this is an error that must be destroyed, since in such dangerous things as war, the errors that arise from benevolence are precisely the worst. Since the application of physical violence to its fullest extent doesn't preclude the participation of the intellect in any way, whoever operates this violence recklessly, without sparing lifeblood, will obtain a preponderance—if his opponent does not do the same. Through this, each side sets the law for the other, and so the two escalate to the extremeno other bounds would exist aside from the intrinsic counter-weights.

Following months of reporting by The Intercept that found the Pentagon’s official tally of casualties is a gross undercount, which one U.S. government official previously called a “casualty cover-up", the Pentagon belatedly admitted that almost 100 U.S. troops have been injured in the last two weeks

Preventing some Iranian villagers from getting drinking water does nothing to prevent the IRGC from firing missiles and drones. Water is a red line. I know those of you who hate the US military and US foreign policy won’t care about the difference, but it’s significant, with very bad implications.

More war crimes: In its fourth strike on water infrastructure, the US has destroyed two water tanks in Sirik, Iran, completely cutting off water distribution in all villages of the Bemani district and the city of Kohstak, the Hormozgan Water and Sanitation Authority says.

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
