You know, at this point it’s really starting to remind me of the Smurfs.
“President Smurf landed his Smurf plane at Smurf International Airport after a flyover of the Smurf International golf course and the Smurf and Gargamel memorial Center for the Smurfs. In other news, the crypto Smurfcoin…”
When a company’s product acts illegally causing harm, how many times should the CEO appear before congress to advocate for an extra-judicial review system and AI-industry self-government?
I like to say that AI doesn’t “know” anything. That AI is like a 3-year old with the internet as is encyclopedia and a full command of the English language, yet has never been out of its windowless room into the real world.
This article puts my vague ideas into much better words.
“Every month after this essay is published will bring its own lot of similar announcements.”
Mathematician Michael Harris, member of the working group that drafted the Leiden Declaration, on AI and the future of mathematics:

Probably so he can attempt to interfere in this year’s election.

Truth is the enemy of liars, charlatans, thiefs, cons, crooks and criminals.
The goal of science is to understand the true nature of the world through verifiable facts.
Trump is going after COVID scientists hard. Revenge tour.

Two-time Tour de France winner Jonas Vingegaard is wearing a high quality mask at the start of the race.
He said: “I hear already that there’s some sickness in some teams and I’ve had a history of being sick in my last two Grand Tours, so as you said: ‘Better safe than sorry.’”
Great job! 👏
Video shared to social media by rapid response shows ICE agents abducting a man this A.M. from inside the Bridgeview Courthouse.
Outside, Cook County Sheriff’s deputy Gigliotti #19013 daps it up with one of the agents.
Asked about IL law preventing arrests at courthouses, deputy Glover shrugs.

Ossoff: "This is what small men like Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller will never understand. That our national greatness flows not through our blood or our genes, but through our ideas. Americans are not a race, we're a people united not by ethnicity, but by our shared convictions."
NEW: lots of you have sent me this article asking for my thoughts. I’ve been able to confirm it. Just as she says, Trump’s administration is staging vote.gov on a non-government cloudflare account under the EOP where there’s no oversight or accounting. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/thedreyd...
After defense officials got a request to push through a deal with a firm tied to Donald Trump Jr., Pentagon staff moved at an unusually rapid pace.

Our brave neighbors inside Delaney need urgent help. They are asking that doctors go in to check out everyone in unit 2a/2b.
On Thursday, May 28th, they were brutalized by GEO Group guards and ICE.
They need medical attention NOW.

A Washington state jury found three protesters guilty of federal conspiracy charges for sitting in front of an ICE bus that was attempting to relocate prisoners last year. They face a maximum sentence of six years in prison and/or $250,000 in fines.
Important reporting from @rangemedia.co:

Do not look away. Keep the focus and outrage on Delaney Hall!
“.. What we are talking about is nothing short of the sitting president of the United States looting from the Treasury for his own gain,” she said.

Read it! It’s hilarious, but if you must miss out, here’s the TLDR:
Ted Turners dad: Liberal arts / humanities / the Classics have nothing to teach you that I don’t already know and they will turn you into an elite snob, but you do you.
Breaking character: In memory of Ted Turner, the amazing letter his dad wrote him when he decided to major in the classics. Yankees just can't write this, my friends.

This country is dumb enough to keep voting the most evil people into office repeatedly no matter what.
Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation.
You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.
NEW: Israel has banned Doctors Without Borders (MSF) from working with Palestinians in Gaza & the occupied West Bank.
Despite this ban, MSF says it “remains committed to providing services in Palestine” & has resumed medical activities at Nasser Hospital.
UR visited MSF's Gaza HQ in January. 🎥

The richest man owns X.
The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.
See the problem here?
A federal appeals court on Wednesday struck down California’s requirement that masked federal agents identify themselves, a blow to the state’s ongoing resistance to the Trump administration’s deportation program. cal.news/4cHdH14
