Correct headlining. OpenAI are hacking private government data. They are responsible for their software.

Leaving aside the overall farce of any news org interviewing a computer program, if "Talking Tilly" is a separate "interview-only" version of the program, you're not even interviewing the fucking "actor" if you accept the other version even was an actor. Why. Is. Everything. So. Stupid. Now?

This is spectacular, folks. We live in a moment in American history when the president and his administration are so racist and dumb that a toy company has to put out a statement saying: "OUR GIANT ROBOT THAT TURNS INTO A TRUCK DENOUNCES RACISM AND HAS NO CONNECTION TO THE CURRENT PRESIDENT."

90 years ago, Parliament responded to the rise of Oswald Mosley's Blackshirts by passing the Public Order Act, which banned political uniforms, private militias and the threat of force for political objects. The debates make very resonant reading today. Here's the Liberal Robert Bernays. (Short 🧵)

You cannot conduct a fair match when one side is playing with a ball and the other with bombs and, if democracy is to survive, it must be conducted according to definite and recognised rule. One of them is that no political party should resort to any weapon other than reason and argument. The introduction of private armies, as I see it, strikes at the root of democracy. I know it is contended that the Blackshirts are not armed and, therefore, are not an army, but I do not think that argument can be upheld. … Uniformed men in military formation suggest, and are meant to suggest, the idea of force. It is no argument to reply that at this or that demonstration no force is intended. It is an inescapable fact that a uniform in politics symbolises force, to be used either now or in the future.

This thread is quite funny because it asks us to skip by Carnegie murdering people - his own steelworkers (who were “pro-steel” but against their own exploitation) - to think about a use case a century in the future. So it’s really actually perfect analogy but in the exact opposite way intended

If the world wasn't burning to ash, this aspect of climate change--revealing the past, the bones in riverbeds, the inscriptions on rocks, "ghost gardens"--would be really cool. As it stands, it feels like a bad omen.

Post from House and Garden Magazine reading "the heatwave is revealing centuries-old ghost gardens at our favorite stately homes." With a photograph of a drought-scorched garden with the remains of old paths and walls visible beneath the dying grass.

No. This is not it. Do not fall for this. Why would you trust anything that OpenAI says is safe? Do not let your children use this product. It is not ethical or safe. Restrict it. Keep it out of your home and out of your school.

We placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books.

Another reason AI is bad for humanity is that reading this makes me want to find the writer (assuming it was a real person) and throw them into the sun. I mean, I can see that helping the human race in certain ways, but overall "encouraging me to murder" is a net negative in society terms.

87-89 looks the best to me. I remember not liking the 2000-3 logos on the batbooks. They gave a consistency to the line but I didn't like the little cowl icon or the colours. They were trying something new I guess, but I just didn't get it. The interiors were often great though, if memory serves.

Where does the side of the angels really lie? Is it on the side of the people actively marginalising people, killing people, and removing people's right to exist unmolested? Or is it on the side of those who support people's right to live without being criminalised for existing? Who can say? 🤦🏽‍♀️

The problem with even talking about “both sides” is, it promotes people acting with abusive intention and a politics of domination to a state in which they are one of two equal “sides,” with literally every other way of being human lumped together as the other “side.”

..that is not their real fear. Their fear is that the left will go on to win the general election, and, like Mamdani in NYC, prove that the left can govern. They are willing to throw the general election to Republicans by smearing the left and demoralizing the Dem base to avoid that outcome.

This is wild. People who are "Preserving the character of Soho" by doing their best to make Soho very un-Soho like, and others who seem to believe standing up is a crime. Now, I also love a good seat in a pub but whoever invented the phrase "vertical drinking" should be never allowed to sit again.

The convergence is no coincidence. These “arguments” are the same self-serving, disingenuous twaddle, coming from the same place: hacks who serve capital. It's time we recognised them for what they are. Politics is downstream from profit.

I actually think the trillionaire saying his AI tool will remake a movie without the Black and trans actors in it should be a bigger story because it’s a perfect example of why the ruling class wants AI to succeed: so they can remake reality without those they deem undesirable - every nazi’s dream.

The polar opposite reactions here to the deaths of Sam Neill and Lindsey Graham are such a reminder that we all have a choice whether to live our lives in a way that brings joy or misery to those around us. I think if you’re remembered fondly as Sam Neill is today, you’ve pretty much won at life.
