Remember the Iran-Iraq War back in the 1980s, when the USA armed both sides? The Iraqis and Iranians do.

This is the sort of credulity that we as humans cannot afford in our press. NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THESE SO FAR HAS BEEN “ACTING ON ITS OWN” every single one has been trained on data where people had done this first and then asked to attempt to do this all for the “if anything our AI is *too* powerful”

last night eyewitnesses saw Oscar Belgal — the man shot by ICE with his 5 year old in the car — discharged from the hospital into ICE custody, with feds speeding off as NYPD cleared the roads for them of protesters. his attorneys don't know where he is; he's seemingly been taken out of NY state.

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

A rare 200-tree American chestnut grove in West Virginia may be cleared for data-center development, but the project denies the site is on its land.

A flamingo can pass out among members of their flock without members of that flock immediately committing group torture. The danger is that they’ll leave her behind, not that they’ll take the opportunity to torture and possibly kill her.

Among young men, sexism predicts support for Trump among young men. In 2024, Democrats *won economically precarious young men.* Trump won young men who held bad views about sex. In *particular,* Trump won those young men both sexist AND high-socioeconomic status. So... www.ymrp.org/polling

Jim Henson would have been 90 (yup, you read that right: NINETY) years old today. You can celebrate his life by celebrating creativity, diversity, peace, imagination, and silliness.

A tuxedoed Jim Henson sits in a sea of Muppets.

There has been a huge media reaction to Anthropic’s Dario Amodei’s recently published essay calling for a global slowdown in AI development — WNYC’s Brian Lehrer devoted an entire hour to the topic “AI Doomsday” on Tuesday. There are two things I really need people to understand about this topic:
