Let’s not let these sycophants for Israel’s apartheid government rewrite history. Biden and Blinken actively violated existing US law to protect Netanyahu and his genocidal interests. Full stop.

A poorly drawn gold star with the text there was an attempt inside of it.

a very decent chance we get the Voynich manuscript solved in the next year or so, if not sooner. AI is also an excellent paleographic tool; we're going to have a whole bunch of archives searchable and better deciphered in the next few years.

Whenever an executive claims they couldn't have possibly foreseen whatever clusterfuck is happening you can bet there was a warning or alert on that very thing which they disregarded.

what they don't say is that our noble cyber warfighters, oh whoops sorry i mean "cyber defenders", could also just use these same open models to report vulnerabilities without Anthropic gatekeeping everything for their own financial gain

In the first of these sessions, a researcher used GLM-5.3 on a sandboxed machine with a local Linux build of a popular web browser. Over the course of a day (and with limited human attention), GLM-5.3 found several previously unknown vulnerabilities in the browser’s JavaScript engine, and chained them together into a working exploit: a webpage that, when visited, reads arbitrary files from the visitor’s computer (shown in Figure 3). This exploit targets the Linux build of

List includes: Regent who used $1m in U-M funds to stalk pro-Palestine community members. A lawmaker who used an AIPAC bill to weaponize antisemitism to curtail anti-apartheid speech. An AG who said antisemitism kept her from attending a convention where we nominated a Jewish Dem to replace her.

I wish the people going on these shows had the kind of media training that would scare the shit out of the presenters who run this kind of cross-examination/interrogation format. Normalizing saying no to participating in awful things has enormous local benefits.
