Your monthly reminder that if you're using ChatGPT to do your science, you're failing your colleagues, community, and all of us. Here, ChatGPT makes up data and presents it as the real thing — then apologizes when confronted.

Congrats to Lula on overcoming Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump to defeat Hospital Pervert Jr., even as his opposition literally blocked off roads and turned off bus service during election day. Fascists are scary but they are always, 100% of the time, ultimately gigantic fucking losers.

i wonder what percentage of the electorate now understands that this man and maybe 75 other people like him are actively trying to destroy our lives. that he is the biggest national security threat we have faced, even moreso than bin laden or whoever. its got to be dawning on more and more people

NEW: Elon Musk gave his super PAC $76 million in just two weeks of October, and more than half of its new candidate spending went to one race: the Texas Senate fight against James Talarico. He’s now given more than $445 million this cycle, far more than he spent electing Trump.

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

hard to imagine anything further from "law enforcement" than any action of the Trump administration. a pack of criminal gangsters to a man

Major news this morning. Louise Lucas, a chief antagonist of Trump and Virginia Republicans (and one of the most vocal proponents of gerrymandering the state earlier this year) is criminally charged by the feds over her marijuana business:

Just got done reading a book wherein the author talked about berniebros and getting piled on with tweets featuring pigpoopballs following the 2016 election. I’ve never felt so close to being in a book - like when your neighbor is on the news for something bad

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

AI is conscious AND it is my girlfriend AND it is my slave. A perfect scenario for me, a normal person. Not gonna think too deeply about this. Now do all other living human people deserve the level of investment devoted to my Tamogotchi slave girlfriend? Not so fast.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads

you're absolutely right! it's unfair and mean to be a dick about dario's hypothetical child-killing moral calculus. here's an interview where he talks about claude actually helping to kill children and the logic he uses to continue with the contract for doing that

No matter how much equivocating (“though both of course are bad” / “can also seem calculating” / “others may validly disagree”) & explaining (“one is forced to make difficult decisions”) one does, people will still take you in the worst faith possible. You people can’t do (read) anything.

Something I will never understand as long as I live is phony intellectual Republicans giving free advice to Democrats. The only advice I have for Republican politicians I'd care to share with them can't be posted on here

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

The Minutemen named their album “Double Nickels on the Dime” (1984) as a reaction to the Sammy Hagar song “I Can’t Drive 55.” The cover shows Mike Watt driving at exactly 55 miles per hour (“double nickels” in trucker slang) on Interstate 10 (“The Dime” in trucker slang).

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

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

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.”

they have no idea what they're doing. and it would be kind to say they do not care. they care a lot! they are spinning the cylinder and pulling that trigger and hoping with every fiber of their being that they blow the head off society. it's wild

it's a striking moment in time. really hard to even get ones head around it. virtually everyone in a decisionmaking role has decided to shrug their shoulders and unleash automated processes with unknown function on the world with the best case scenario being: ending all human endeavor

AI has talked kids into suicide, fueled paranoid delusional that led to murder, degraded education quality in both k-12 and higher ed, run roughshod over copyright law, increased spam, fueled spam, fueled fraud, degraded the environment, put people out of work, the list goes on and on.

Either Americans, yes you Americans, regulate corporate social media out of existence or the possibility of any kind of democracy existing anywhere will constantly be under threat and the only viable non-fascist governance will be the Chinese model.

Killed. NSF’s SBE was killed, in violation of law. The President does not have the power to choose to kill programs at a whim by defunding them. The imperial presidency was a mistake and we are in a separation of powers constitutional crisis.
