the media’s reaction to this anthropic guy’s tweets are a great demonstration of how they don’t want to inform the public, they’re just happy to go along with a sensationalist narrative handed to them by deluded and self-interested tech people

What a co-incidence that AfD won majority in Germany around the same time when UN discussed Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems at Geneva! What a co-incidence.

🚨 First the social media ban, now the government wants to restrict VPNs 🚨 VPNs are a vital cybersecurity tool for businesses, politicians, journalists and families to protect data and communications. Banning or age-gating VPNs would increase cybercrime risks and expose IP addresses to predators.

I've formalised the Lovelace Threshold for periods of liminality, where old governance has failed, safeguards built to protect people are used to extract from them with impunity, and new governance has not caught up so harm doesn't become legible before it's governable. (zenodo link in comments)

Claude Mythos doesn’t just find vulnerabilities-it makes us exploitable at scale. If FireEye couldn’t protect itself, and Anthropic has already accidentally leaked Mythos, can I trust Glasswing to contain exploits? I hope more people start recognizing this pattern.

Are you concerned about super-intelligence. Shared thoughts on Medium & Substack, inspired by @rutgerbregman.com’s final BBC Reith Lecture on “Fighting for Humanity in the Age of the Machine” from Nov’25. These risks aren’t fear mongering or abstract theory. Stakes are too high!

I’ve been called absent, distracted, detached, lost, selective, rebellious, ‘such an Aquarius.’ But 3 decades of overextending is exhausting. To show up for them, I have to show up for myself first. To invest in them, I must invest in me. It’s not selfish. It’s self-preserving.
