It’s about fucking time! Someone is FINALLY suing an AI company for hacking, which they keep admitting to doing, in press releases. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

"An AI did it" is no defense, says nonprofit suing OpenAI over Hugging Face hack
OpenAI makes others suffer "the harms of its unsafe decision-making," nonprofit says.

Raw milk = Russian Roulette You may be fine, but the longer you drink it, the higher your risk of serious - potentially fatal - food borne illness. If you wouldn't hand your child a loaded gun, you shouldn't provide them with raw milk. Sounds hyperbolic, I know, but it really isn't.

If he can't remember where he was, and what he did 25 years ago on 9/11 - on a day that is BURNED into the memory of everyone else over the age of 12 at the time - then it's time to remove him from office under the 25th Amendment. Ted isn't defending Trump, he's admitting Trump is not competent.

Prof Gallow is rich. His position on wealth taxes is self-serving. Gary does an excellent job of pointing this out. If we don't tax wealth, it will always grow faster than the economy, and so inequality will always grow. Badly designed wealth taxes are an argument for Well designed wealth taxes.

This is what Real resistance looks like. Calling a thing what it is, without polite euphemism or apology. Then- crucially - taking the next step by refusing to accept it. The authority of the court comes from the people, and abusive authority, like SCOTUS, has lost any authority it had
