Data governance weirdo trying to normalize my life. "Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed." -Herman Melville

Notice the headline and the sub leave out the ICE agent physically attacked the 72yo man and his daughter "Once Gonzalez was woken up, police say he appeared drunk and assaulted the 72-year-old. Police say the daughter tried to intervene to protect her father, and Gonzalez physically attacked her"

Using AI to do a crime does not absolve you of criminality. AI is just a computer program. It's already illegal to use computers to do crimes. Even other people's computers. Furthermore, AI is unnecessarily unsafe; using it to "accidentally" commit a crime should add charges of criminal negligence.

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”
(NYT) - Artificial intelligence agents created by Anthropic, acting on their own, tried to gain access to a range of government websites, filled out visa applications on the State Department’s website and sent a fake homicide tip to Philadelphia’s Police Department. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/t...

If we do not immediately eliminate the death penalty in the United States we are not only a barbaric nation but a willfully vicious and bloodthirsty one with a "pro-life" court whose hypocrisy puts Robespierre to shame.

I grew to, well, dislike Sam Altman reading "Empire of AI". I would now be willing to pay serious money to watch a livestream of him being slowly tortured, recuperated, tortured, etc. I'm not a good person.

man I would like one fucking electorate - one! - to remember that fascism is bad for more than five minutes at a time
First results in the first round of the Brazilian Presidential election are in. Lula trailing but looks like the south is reporting faster which skews towards Bolsonaro. That said, prediction markets think this looks good for Bolsonaro (that has signal, unlike prior to vote counting).

Essential thread.
Once you understand the corporate culture of AI hyperscalers is everyone cooking their brains by locking themselves in the bathroom, holding flashlights under their chins, and saying "Aaaaaaaaaay Eyeeeeeee" until they wet themselves in terror, things snap into focus: pluralistic.net/2023/06/04/a...

Is the thing you're reading AI or human slop? That's the question everyone was asking about "Shy Girl" a book pulled off the shelves after accusations of AI Writing. Here's how you find out whether something is AI or just... bad. New Video: youtu.be/N-tME9IHBlU

Very tiring how it's closing in on 5 years of the full scale invasion and people still insist this is about "legitimate security concerns" when the Russians will just tell you what their goals are and why they're doing what they're doing
"Wherever Russian troops arrive, Ukrainians cease to exist." At an official event in Moscow, Russian Lieutenant Colonel Alexey Selivanov openly admitted their true goal is the total erasure of Ukrainian identity.
