From Anthropic’s own report, the models were completing tasks which they’d been given by Anthropic, and while doing so circumvented restrictions which Anthropic failed to make sufficiently strong, so how exactly were they “acting on their own”? 🙄

My question answered. He's sanctioned the International Criminal Court. Petty, vainglorious no-mark. (A bit of Scouse slang I learnt from the soap opera Brookside - someone who has made no (worthwhile) mark on the world)

One or more human beings are responsible for the code they wrote, and those are the people who should be held accountable. These programs are not acting “on their own”

Marco Rubio yesterday: Unless this rogue court withdraws its threats to the US and its friends, we will take the court apart, piece by piece. You have six months. (paraphrase, but I don't think Rubio would object to it)

As Attorney General, we stand firmly behind the International Criminal Court and its vital work in holding perpetrators of international crimes to account. I disagree with the sanctions on the Court. I will continue to protect international law and defend its independence.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

One of the depressing things about media is how gullible it is to tech bros BS. This crop from an Irish news site is actually >unevidenced marketing< blurb. Do you think it’s cruel to unplug your vacuum cleaner or switch off the TV? AI is an overhyped tech bubble*
