Kevin O’Leary’s plans for a colossal new data center in Utah came under intense criticism from local residents. Now, thanks to an organized ground campaign and legal action, development on Stratos is stalled, leaving O’Leary’s “Wonder Valley” in limbo. www.theverge.com/cs/features/...

New from Arjun Sharda: The State of Texas understands that students are essential to recognizing danger. But it has been slower to recognize that we might also have something useful to contribute when adults decide how schools should prevent and respond to threats.

Daniel Stone of Diffusion.Au examines the OpenAI agent incident in Australia: "84 days, almost three months, from the first access to the warning being raised." He calls for enforceable rules, prompt notice, access to logs and a way to recover costs.

Everyone keeps saying AI "will kill us all"… but I want to be clear… AI is not intelligent, it's an autocomplete, but it's got all of mankind's data to actually do a good job at auto completion… but it's NOT intelligent, meaning it has no "STOP" trigger once it's given a task.

it'll be the people who pretend they're engineers, don't understand safety, prompt the damn thing to do something and then go to dinner, or have sex in the closet, or gamble away their life on ketamine and prediction markets without paying attention to their jobs…

The real problem is the folks giving these AIs prompts and instructions have NO FUCKING CLUE about "standards & practices", no concept of "security & discipline"… and the ones letting them do it are the same managers who'd rather see the quarterly numbers "GO UP" than hear the word NO…

AI as a tool will not kill us, it'll be the fucking corporations that fire everyone who tells them NO, and the middle managers chasing the next dopamine hit from the feedback loop of "Number go up"…
