The idea that the LLM company might train on research you are doing using their model but haven’t published yet is wild. Research that was driven by humans. (The link to the full PDF here is broken but it’s in the next post in the thread.)

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

lots of jarring statistics and heartbreaking stories I could share from this story, but this particular anecdote made me tear up when @jonathanwosen.bsky.social first shared this story with me For more details from our survey of ~1000 nih-funded researchers, read the report below
screenshot of story reading, "It wasn’t enough to save her three-person team. Sweetwyne still let go of a laboratory technician, and another left on their own. She’s had to return to the bench to help the one remaining staffer with experiments. Sweetwyne expects she’ll have to shut down the lab by the end of this year. And as a non-tenure-track researcher with 95% of her salary coming from grants, Sweetwyne said she’s at risk of losing her position at UW altogether. 

While she tries not to bring her worries home, her 6-year-old daughter has noticed. Each morning, she hands Sweetwyne a pair of coins and asks, “Is this going to be enough?” Sweetwyne always says yes, and, at the end of each day, hides the pennies and quarters around her house for the child to find again so that she doesn’t run out of change."

I asked.
Here's what the evidence shows:
The school strike — On February 28, 2026, the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, southern Iran was destroyed during the first day of the U.S.-Israeli strikes. Iranian state media reported 180 people killed, the majority of them schoolchildren — mostly girls between 7 and 12 years old. Wikipedia
What NPR's satellite analysis found — The school appears to have been struck as part of a precision airstrike on a neighboring Iranian military complex, and it may have been hit as a result of outdated targeting information. Experts noted the school had been separated from the adjacent military base by a wall built between 2013 and 2016. NPR In other words, the targeting data may not have been updated in over a decade.
The AI targeting context — Maven, powered by Claude, suggested hundreds of targets, issued precise location coordinates, and prioritized those targets. Experts noted that "AI gets it wrong… we need humans to check the output of generative AI when the stakes are life and death." DNYUZ
What "precision" actually means — precision refers to the accuracy of the weapon hitting its designated target. Satellite imagery confirmed "very precise targeting" — almost all buildings in the compound were hit. NPR The weapons hit exactly what they were aimed at. The horrifying question is whether what they were aimed at was correctly identified — and evidence suggests it wasn't.
UNESCO called the bombing of the school "a grave violation of humanitarian law." UN News The UN human rights office has called for a full investigation into whether it constitutes a war crime.
So: technically precise delivery, apparently wrong target. That distinction offers no comfort to the families burying their daughters.
