Pass a law clarifying that the supreme court’s appellate jurisdiction does not begin until a final ruling has been made by district and appeals courts.

Deporting people to unsafe countries that they’ve never been to and have no connection to is inhumane and unjustifiable. Incredibly disappointed to see the Supreme Court allow this to continue until they hear oral arguments. This policy is illegal and must be stopped.

Why Democrats Should Stop Using the Phrase “Culture Wars”
Texas’s Gina Hinojosa and others slamming the party for focusing too much on so-called cultural issues are pushing a flawed electoral and policy strategy.

Listening to the D.C. Circuit's en banc oral argument regarding Judge Boasberg's efforts to investigate contempt of court in regards to the CECOT flights, and it's not going great for the government right now. It seems like the en banc court is likely to allow the investigation to go forward.

Deterring russian aggression requires both military strength and effective communication with one's own population and the rest of the world. The Estonian Internal Security Service's (KAPO) communication regarding the attribution of the Milrem arson attack to the russians shows how it can be done.

calling this "misalignment" instead of "negligence" is an accountability dodge. we already have laws about cyber crimes and there's no scale of ML model you can incorporate into your code that makes you not responsible for running it
In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company was "conducting an extensive review of misaligned model activity" during training, and notifying third parties when there was a potential impact on their systems.

"During this review, we identified activity involving several Australian government websites and services as our models attempted to look up answers, and available statistics for questions about Australia during an internal evaluation," they said.

"In the course of that, our models took actions we did not intend.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com "The breadth of data center opposition alone suggests that the fight no longer centers simplistically on environmental concerns or NIMBYism, the forces of oligarchy or the prospect of an A.I. future — though each of these plays a role," David Wallace-Wells writes.
