To give you a bit of grace, the discourses you are a part of as a part of your academic work are almost certainly more efficacious than the discourse here. I feel the tension you feel in the two activisms you have dedicated yourself most to, and I am sorry that they seem to be tearing at you so.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

calling this "misalignment" instead of "negligence" is an accountability dodge. we already have laws about cyber crimes and there's no scale of ML model you can incorporate into your code that makes you not responsible for running it
In a statement, an OpenAI spokesperson said the company was "conducting an extensive review of misaligned model activity" during training, and notifying third parties when there was a potential impact on their systems.

"During this review, we identified activity involving several Australian government websites and services as our models attempted to look up answers, and available statistics for questions about Australia during an internal evaluation," they said.

"In the course of that, our models took actions we did not intend.

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 🧵

Iowa Dem. Gov. candidate Rob Sand was confronted at a rally yesterday over anti-trans positions. A constituent asked if he would walk them back. He refused to, and in fact said he supported sports bans. Another constituent shouted "COWARD!" in the background. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.

Not beating the nazi allegations.
A social media screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) featuring a graphic titled "UNITED STATES SPACE FORCE SERVICE DRESS UNIFORM — NEXT GENERATION —" alongside the official Space Force delta logo.
​The image showcases a full uniform concept worn by a male model against a dark gray background:
​Uniform Views: Full front and back views depict a dark slate gray tunic and matching trousers tucked into knee-high, polished black leather riding boots. The jacket features a high Mandarin-style collar, black epaulets, and a black belt with a rectangular silver buckle.
​Design Inspiration: A text block notes the design is "inspired by the discipline and functionality of the Starship Trooper uniform, modernized for the Guardians of the space domain."
​Color Palette: Swatches listed include Space Gray, Midnight Black, Silver Gray, and Satin Black.
​Detailed Insets: Close-up panels highlight the collar insignia, shoulder piping detail, sleeve patch with the Space Force delta, belt buckle, a peaked "Service Dress Cap," and rank insignia examples ranging from O-1 to O-7.

It's possible to scan books without "cutting" them, which literally means ripping off the spine. But why are AI companies doing this? For one, it's cheaper and faster. Also, in a case against Anthropic, a judge ruled it was NOT a copyright violation because the original had been destroyed.
