The Anthropic, Meta, and Google "breaking containment" incidents all resulted from setup errors (or a stunt) by the same company: Irregular. Irregular created a sandbox that wasn't really a sandbox because it had a live internet connection, and gave instructions that were then carried out online.

"They're not misunderstanding the film; they're co-opting a message"

Screencap from the interview linked in the quoted post

Marlow Stern (the interviewer): You have one of the most renowned replies in Twitter history. Elon Musk tweeted out, “Take the red pill,” then Ivanka Trump enthusiastically wrote, “Taken!” to him, and then you replied, “Fuck both of you.” I’m curious how you feel about the co-opting of “The Matrix” by those on the right who don’t really seem to understand its messaging.

Lilly Wachowski: I mean, I can’t sit in a room and explain the movie to every single person who watches it. Even if I did sit in a room with Elon Musk and Ivanka Trump — yikes — it doesn’t matter. They’re not misunderstanding the film; they’re co-opting a message. And that’s what fascists do: They co-opt the messages of progressives and use it to their benefit to confuse and obfuscate what is going on and the intention of their ideology. They do it with everything. They do it with Martin Luther King Jr. Look at how they’ve changed the idea of what antisemitism is.

If our "environmental protection" frameworks can stop an affordable housing project but can't stop a detention center or a highway expansion we really need to start talk about ripping things up root and branch.

Joe Kent is neither the worst person you know making a good point nor a broken clock; he’s a notorious antisemite and white supremacist who is blaming Jews to get out of a real job that’s quite difficult right now as we increasingly explode the world and create the conditions for terrorism.

Joe Kent is a right-wing lunatic with a “PANZER” tattoo (yes, in the original German), has close ties to White Nationalists and extremist paramilitary groups, he has consulted with Fuentes about social media strategy, employed a Proud Boy on his campaign - and that’s just off the top off my head.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

I enjoyed the Bluesky days of sharing writing and books that you're reading, so wanted to shout out @swordsjew.bsky.social's Wild Faith, and in particular this passage that made me chuckle out loud despite the seriousness of the subject matter

Photo of a books text with some sections highlighted for emphasis.

"And they were shouting. They were also playing conservative rap, although this in and of itself, sadly, isn't a crime. The song they picked was called 'God over Government," by Hi-Rez and Jimmy Levy, which has a beat like a store full of synthesizers exploding and lyrics like this:

They coming for children and all our traditions
So get ammunition prepare for the war
The revolution is on store
I'm waiting for them at my door.

And so on."
