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.
Anthropic is the latest lab to report 'rogue' agent activity, which sources said included applying for visas with the State Department www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

When you've got your head so far up your "bank account" it takes everyone to warn you about the stupid you just pulled.
"Everyone's telling me to cancel and I'm feeling all of my friends and family and people I know abandon me," he said." you didn't have to do this Edward www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/deva...

Something that is mentioned in this article that I meant to comment on and then went to eat breakfast: Prime wants content that brings new subs. So their entire TV model is (by their reports) "if this TV show appeals heavily to our existing audience, it is worthless" Not sure that's great?!?
everyone who cancelled Murder Besties should walk into a volcano

Due to my actually re-reading the constitution with an eye toward dog qualifications, I have reassessed Virga's presidential eligibility. For that reason, I am announcing VIRGA 2028.
I have asked Virga if he believes we should solve systemic issues with tax credits and personal responsibility, and his answer was to loudly squeak his toy at me. I will sadly have to recommend a vote against my dog for president.

DO PHARMACY BENEFIT MANAGERS NEXT
HUGE: Elizabeth Warren, AOC, and other members of Congress have introduced a bill to push private equity out of healthcare. The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act would make it illegal for private equity, insurance companies, and for-profit corporations to own or control medical practices.

There is so much that needs doing in these times. We don't really have time to be throwing people under the bus with the hope of currying favor with the ghouls who are making this world a hellscape.
And if the way you fight against concentration camps is to yell at trans people to stop caring about their own personal safety? Literally go do anything else. Go protest an ICE facility. Go organize mutual aid for impacted communities. Go make whistle kits and go distribute them.

It still persists to this day. Watch how any time some white guy is caught doing mass murder, the media say "ah, this isn't terrorism, just some disaffected white guy." The word "terrorist" is being taken to mean "someone Muslim and brown."
Two things it’s hard to convey if you weren’t alive back then: the extremity of hysteria, nationalism and Islamophobia the attack prompted, and how efforts to capture this can inadvertently obscure how Islamophobic things already were.

Hi @greenburgerlit.bsky.social! A bunch of us authors were wondering what the basis was for your claiming 25% of the total amount for any books your agency remotely touched in the Anthropic Settlement.

part of the emotional weight of the past 10 years is anyone who can extrapolate a new fact from two existing facts has been screaming "is anyone else seeing this??? godzilla is coming!" right up until the point godzilla steps on a building and then the rest of the country goes "oh shit wtf?"
"what if we start a trade war for no reason" "prices will go up" "we started a trade war for no reason" "prices are up" "oh no"
