The cyber and info sec communities are looking at the recent AI news quite differently than the rest of us. Some are going back into work and telling their engineers "hey, remember how we said we'd get to that patch later...let's actually prioritize that."
In recent cases, it's not that AI somehow "escaped containment" or "went rogue." That's anthropomorphizing at best. It's more like if a Boston Dynamics robot dog nudged open an already open door and walked in.
Here's what I actually think these incidents reveal (instead of a rogue AI terminator situation): Much of the infra we expect to be hardened is actually being held together by glue and popsicle sticks.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
Craig Calcaterra@craigcalcaterra.bsky.social · 3w agoRIP to a motherfucking icon.
the famous line about how michael caine treated the muppets as fellow actors and tim curry treated himself as a fellow muppet keeps running through my head we have a lot of brilliant actors, but how many of them can really pull off 'unhinged muppet' the way curry could? what a tremendous loss

I know many of us who were raised by this film now look back on it with complex feelings, but I know that this is what he intended for the film to do, and I’m glad for the people I know whose lives it saved.

Yes, Rocky Horror in the 1970s, indelibly and forever, but also, Tony nominations in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Tim Curry was the real thing. RIP. Not loving this week so far.
People born in 2008 are 18 years old. Think about how if Dolly Parton had died in the 90's, literally *all* the news about her would be boob jokes and catcalls and schlubby guys going hur hur *That's* the culture all these Republican sexual predators and freaks feel nostalgia for.
Like the time fires raged through Gatlinburg and she just gave the families impacted $1k/month for 5 months and $5k the 6th month. no means testing, no complicated hoops, just "your life is destroyed here's some cash" resulting in another UBI experiment gone right. www.bpr.org/news/2018-12...

Let me get this straight. Sometimes a famous person dies and everyone is nice about it? Merely because of their deeds during life?
When the Gatlinburg Wildfires happened in 2016, Dolly gave impacted families $1,000/month to help them get back on their feet. This included my father-in-law, who lost everything in the fire. Dolly gave children in TN free books each month, from birth to the age of five. She was a goddamn saint.
