Just when I think I can’t hate OpenAI and Sam Altman any more, new details come out about how ChatGPT helped a shooter plan one of the worst mass shootings in Canadian history in Tumbler Ridge, BC. OpenAI made an explicit decision not to report the user to authorities.

The left must not let tech CEOs lead the converstion on AI regulation. Amodei's proposed "slowdown" amounts to self regulation and weakening antitrust to create a private AI duopoly. However, a legislative frontier AI moratorium and public ownership/control would break Silicon Valley.

I still think there's time to focus regulation on taxing capital by making it build renewable capacity, and also focusing on consequence-based regulations: I think executives who sign off on security malpractice should face at minimum civil liabilities for doing soing.

Our response to bad regulation shouldn’t be no regulation. This could be a major opportunity for the left to build support for real transparency, democratic oversight, and public control. But the skeptic/anti-AI left seems content to let these companies control the narrative on regulation.

In a declaration last year, Milo admitted to having trouble renewing his US residency due to issues stemming from his divorce. We're working to get the full documents up online, but here's some of the text messages submitted to court, the last of which Milo claims was fabricated by his ex-husband.

Black text on white page that reads:

In 1882, 10,000 workers marched up Broadway in the first-ever Labor Day parade. Led by democratic socialists and organized by New York’s unions, they rallied the movement that went on to win us weekends, safety standards, overtime pay, a minimum wage, and social security.

None of those victories were guaranteed. And none are permanent.

We created the first-in-the-nation Office of Worker Power to put the full weight of City Hall behind the people who keep New York running. On Labor Day, we honor the workers who came before us by fighting for the workers who come next.

Happy Labor Day, New York. The future of worker power is ours to build. Learn more at nyc.gov/workerpower.

MAHA is more than just vaccine hesitancy, but a 2023 meta-analysis shows vaccine skepticism is much more broadly distributed among socioeconomic positions than the below generalization suggests. It's not just a problem among rich white people. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Income/Socioeconomic Status

Higher SES/income and higher vaccine hesitancy, 12 articles.

Lower SES/income and higher vaccine hesitancy, 11 articles.

Contrasting patterns were noted as to income/socio-economic status. An equal number of articles included in the review noted vaccine hesitancy in
association with both higher and lower income/SES.When asked to identify their most important health priority for government to address, far more MAHA-supporting voters identify lowering the cost of health care (42%) than other issues more closely associated with the movement, such as restricting the use of chemical additives in the food supply (21%), reevaluating the safety of vaccines (10%), limiting corporate influence on food policy (8%), or restricting the use of pesticides in agriculture (8%).

It's actually good to try to reach people and use some shared concerns to push for regulation to limit corporate power. Same thing with the data center battle! If the left doesn't address legitimate problems in a real way we give an opening to the right to sell crazy bullshit.

The "centrist" think tank Third Way is looking to pay someone between $140,000 and $150,000 to spend their days trying to dig up dirt on DSA members. They're trying to sell this gig as "anti-extremism" work, which I find completely disgusting.
from job listing:

As the Director of Anti-Extremism, a typical day might include…

Assembling and updating a database of the DSA’s most extreme ideas and statements and a repository of voting records, affiliations, and issue positions to make available to allies and partners;
Leading public opinion research to identify and test the contrasts that move base voters away from these extreme candidates;
Overseeing the development of memos, talking points, rapid response materials, and other products that make the case against these extreme forces in American politics;
Promoting and marketing our research and materials to ensure they reach decisionmakers quickly, repeatedly, and at scale through a coordinated distribution infrastructure;
Recruiting and arming a group of young, diverse spokespeople to fight the DSA from a center-left perspective and assembling a broad coalition of organizational partners to make the case against extremism;
Running an earned media program to create a drumbeat of our message in op-eds, television appearances, podcasts, and traditional and digital media engagement.

The reviews are in
The "It Could Happen Here" episode on CNL is pretty silly. At one point they get a random Socialist CUNY professor to explain how what the movement is missing is class struggle lmao. He repeats that one massively tortured statistic about wages not growing for 46 years at one point.There are some parts that are generally true, but it's probably nothing you're not aware of. We're out of touch, we're contrarian, we're overly online, like tell me something I don't know. Then they go on to say that CNL's positions come as a reaction to the DSA. That's just annoying lol. It echoes a common inability among leftists to conceive of people who simply have different beliefs and policy preferences to their own.

A lot of wins (and a few losses) for left-populists in Michigan and Missouri last Tuesday, but just El-Sayed winning is the biggest blow to AIPAC we’ve seen yet. This was the most expensive dem senate primary in history, over $60M of outside spending backing Stevens in a state with open primaries.
