Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.

NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV's Al encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah's team then privately lobbied the pope's advisers "to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously." Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."
Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

Incredible (and incredibly long) post on Reddit (via Mastodon) of a nightmare-of-nightmares whereby a company discovers that their entire public facing app is hosted on a massive 500 Tb Dropbox. Beware, buyers of companies. Make sure you know what you are buying. www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/c...
My poor colleague calls the team and things really start to unravel they tell him many of the insane asylum old IT folks were let go during the acquisition including the guy who was responsible for increasing their storage when their app was close to hitting space capacity. They had assumed we had been doing it in his place. No problem he could request a new virtual server or additional space in amazon to mitigate the problem right now and we could come up with a long term plan once I got back to my desk. The person he's talking too immediately cuts off and says that isn't necessary they just need him to call drop box support. He's now very confused and asks why on Earth are they sending or storing information in drop box that's a huge breach. He asks what information the app/website is pulling from the drop box and they drop a bombshell they tell him the entire database is in drobox. At this point I'm told he began to look like he just stumbled out of the trenches in 1917. He asked them to elaborate because what they described didn't sound possible. It was but it wasn't just the database it was the entire app and website. The app was actually just a server instance in Heroku that was spun up whenever there was an update and would make crazy api calls to the drop box account read information from hardcoded database files. He immediately called drop box support to figure out what in god's name was going on and to his horror after several escalations gained access to the account and found that the account had 497 TB of 500 TB space used up and the team was on the verge of running out. This explained why they needed such large hard drives and why they changes were taking so long it would take days to upload and download so much data to drop box plus have all the devs resync their local drop box instances with the correct latest versions. This single drop box account was also their version control.

Q. What other vehicles are out there?

A. NASA relied on Russian Soyuz vehicles in the 2010s after the Space Shuttle retired, and before Crew Dragon came online. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Soyuz is off the table for private space stations. India is also developing a crewed spacecraft, Gaganyaan. But it was originally supposed to carry humans in late 2021, and the schedule has since slipped to at least 2027. And for a time Gaganyaan is likely to be used solely for Indian missions. Counting on this vehicle for private space stations seems like a stretch. NASA does have its Orion spacecraft, but the per-seat cost for its missions is likely astronomical ($500 million per seat?), and Orion is needed for lunar missions. The Exploration Company, based in Europe, has ambitious plans for a crewed spacecraft, but it likely won’t be ready until 2035. Sierra Nevada’s Dream Chaser just does not seem like it’s ever going to happen, sorry
