My Grandma in her old age still put up applesauce and canned goods in her basement, just in case - never did get past the Depression.

I’m glad it wasn’t. It’s not entirely accurate.

Y’know, this is kind of not OK, on a lot of levels. To begin with, Custer didn’t have a flag. The 7th Cavalry did.

My dad was a small-town doctor who made late-night house calls on most nights I can remember growing up—and to my personal knowledge forgave (or delayed) payments from people who were on hard times. This story makes me want to move to Kansas and spend next 5+ weeks canvassing.

This is an absolute disaster from a national security perspective. Obviously, a lot on F-35s is classified, but a weapons-bay door and a canopy with radar-absorbing material are some of the most sensitive. Hard to describe how bad this is.

European intelligence officials are warning of an imminent Russian test of NATO, with one saying a potential attack could come in a matter of months, not years. Putin wants to prove that “Article 5 is more theoretical than practical”. Meanwhile, Hegseth plans to pull 25,000 US troops from Europe.

Moira Smith died #OTD in 2001 in the World Trade Center South Tower. + 13-yr NYPD veteran + Helped w/the South Tower evacuation, repeatedly going back to help more people + Only female NYPD officer killed on 9/11 + Posthumously awarded the #NYPD Medal of Honor #September11 #NeverForget
A poignant memorial card honoring NYPD Officer Moira Ann Smith features a framed color photograph set against a mottled gray stone surface. The text "In Loving Memory of" appears in elegant black script above the photo, with her full name, "Moira Ann Smith," printed below it. In the photograph, Officer Smith is captured from the chest up, smiling warmly with a gentle, heroic expression. She is dressed in her dark blue police uniform, adorned with multiple commendation ribbons and a gleaming gold shield prominently displaying her name badge. Her light brown hair is softly parted to the side. Behind her, the American flag stands alongside an official New York City Police Department flag, providing a solemn, patriotic backdrop. The composition evokes deep reverence and grief, commemorating the historical significance of the only female NYPD officer killed in the line of duty during the September 11 terrorist attacks, where she saved hundreds of lives.

The alarms are all flashing red.
Screenshot of a thread on X by user Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess) detailing his resignation from Anthropic.
​The first post reads: "I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below."
​The second post reads: "Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing."
​The third post reads: "The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger."Screenshot continuing the thread on X by Jacob Coxon (@hilbertspaess).
​The first post reads: "A common response is 'if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?' At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk."
​The second post reads: "Accepting this race and entering the 'endgame' is a hubristic gamble that should not be launched from a private company's Slack. Attempting to speedrun alignment should require extraordinary confidence that there are no better trajectories available."
​The third post reads: "I am optimistic about the potential for coordination. Warning shots like the Hugging Face attack have made pacing agreements between U.S. labs more viable. I don’t feel like we’re on track to prevent a global race, which may require costly actions such as a temporary ban on improving model capabilities."
​The fourth post reads: "If you are a lab researcher, I urge you to consider what the next few years will actually feel like. Do you want to kick off a superintelligent RL run without a rigorous understanding of its mind? Should you put your head down because 'it’s happening anyway' - or take this moment to call for different conditions?"
