This is amazing. OpenAI was internally testing a program in cyber capabilities. The program escaped containment and broke into Hugging Face so it could score higher. Zero-days, the whole schmear. Yikes.

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country. This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

Emergency Prices: How Private Equity Captured the Ambulance Market
Emergency service costs have been going up for years, frustrating city officials. One reason seems to be private equity, which bought up ambulance makers and raised prices.

Oddly enough, exactly true to Tolkien's vision, where he offers Rings of Power to elves, dwarves, and humans to ostensibly empower them, but the Ruling Ring is the embodiment of totalitarianism with an Eye that can search out whenever you use a Ring. Throw the crap down an active volcano.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

Today’s poem is called ‘The Importance of the Oxford Comma’.
The Importance of the Oxford Comma
 
Owing to ambiguities caused by its omission,
the Oxford comma was the subject of a petition
raised by serious serialists keen to ensure
its mandatory use in lists of three things or more.
 
And what a response! From across every nation,
the signatures poured in beyond all expectation –
from the investment bankers, robbers and thieves,
to the politicians, self-servers and exponents of sleaze.
 
There were the Daily Mail readers, the clowns and deluded;
the climate change deniers, the daft and the stupid;
the morally bankrupt, Donald Trump and Piers Morgan;
Elon Musk, a Bond villain and a trafficker of organs;
 
plus the poets, the drug fiends and chronically poor –
all supported this change to grammatical law.
This formal petition was then presented in hope
to Sir David Attenborough, the King and the Pope.

In 1942, at the height of the Second World War, Alfred Eisenstaedt photographed sweethearts bidding each other farewell before the men depart for war, not knowing if they'd ever return. These candid shots give us a glimpse of what average Americans wore. Let's look at the details. 🧵
