Shouting into the void: Xfinity service out again for the second day in a row. No way to talk to a human, not even to cancel service. Time to switch to FIOS…

We demand Wilber’s immediate release so he can receive emergency medical care and recover safely with his family. ICE must be held accountable for this violence.

over the past few weeks several AI evaluation/cybersecurity experts have explained how what's happening is a result of human incompetence rather than "AI going rogue". I'm begging the media to show a shred of journalistic integrity and stop parroting what altman or amodei say

Leaving a bomb with a timer in a building doesn't get reported as "bomb tries to blow up building", and OpenAI's employees designing an extremely clumsy, badly designed self-prompting language model hooked up to public actions that can cause harm shouldn't be reported that way either

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Glassdoor has a very revealing report out on worker sentiment regarding AI. Workers' attitudes towards AI have grown increasingly negative, and extremely so in certain fields. This is happening as adoption is scaling, and workers have had *more* exposure. The more they use it, the less they like it.

RFK Jr. ordering the CDC to remove the two measles deaths from Pennsylvania is misconduct. If the protocol for reporting infectious disease cases and deaths is that the CDC uses the state health department determination, then RFK Jr. has just changed that protocol without rationale or explanation.

Good thread about how students need to know things regardless of whether they will use LLMs later. This is so clear in writing instruction, where using LLMs to "brainstorm" or "edit" has become a thing that students are told to do when they have no experience brainstorming or editing themselves./1

I tell people all the time that I got lucky with my career and it annoys a lot of them. "No, but you're good," they will say, and I will say, yes, I am good, and also here are all these people who write as well as I do but did not get the same break, so being good isn't the issue, being lucky is.

I think the saddest thing I see is that to endorse generative AI, many of its defenders also have to adjust their definition of what accuracy and competence are... and then wind up defending inaccuracy and incompetence. Truly irrational.
