$step. With Narcan, you are attempting to make a drug that has the exact opposite function (an agonist instead of an antagonist). National Harm Reduct... To do this, a chemist must execute a highly delicate two-step process called N- deallylation followed by alkylation. You must first strip away the structural "allyl arm" that blocks the opioid receptor. Doing this requires precious metal catalysts (like Wilkinson's catalyst, which relies on the rare earth metal rhodium) and precise high-temperature, high- pressure environments (often around 200°C). If a street-level cook tries this with crude chemicals, the fragile morphinan ring system completely fractures. The reaction degrades into a useless, dark tar long before any usable drug base is isolated. Canadian Science Pub... Descriptive alt text$

@theshoestring.bsky.social divina has some good takes here on the state of western Massachusetts discourse

The Shocatring

Q

Many journalists, including myself, see journalism as an integral and foundational cultural institution to hold the powerful accountable. But the key piece missing in that sentiment is understanding that journalism is a political process that always carries the potential to amplify or erase particular perspectives.

The political influence that journalism can have to inform people about their representatives, for example, can change a voter's perspective or understanding of a candidate. But we must also extend that understanding of lanquage as a political tool - not only to advance and justify harm. but to enact it as well. We've seen this time and time again, from the use of the press to justify Jim Crow laws to the U.S. invasion of

Iraq.

When the Gazette and the Recorder make the decision to publish these pieces, they are engaging in the empowerment of dangerous and harmful rhetoric like Bercovici's, and in the the continued disempowerment of trans people - a population that is already incredibly vulnerable

mmm ah okay it looks like they're reporting on Reuters reporting? Again I ask is that good because I have used ai agents to get data from census, SEC, and even the dept. of education office of civil rights too. These incidents might have all been me actually... www.reuters.com/world/openai...

OPENAI AGENTS ACCESSED US WEBSITES

OpenAl said late on Friday its models accessed information from the websites of the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Census Bureau during research and training activity, but found no evidence of unauthorized access, compromised accounts or security breaches.

Separately, Al research nonprofit Transluce said agents appearing to originate from OpenAl made an unsuccessful attempt to hack a US Department of Education civil rights website.

Transluce said the incident was part of broader Al agent activity probing government websites using tactics including exposed credentials, anti-bot bypasses and fake accounts.

Can someone walk me through why this specifically is a problem? Like, "tools reserved for software developers" do they mean the free API the Census provides that anyone can use? www.census.gov/data/develop...

When attempting to get information from the Census Bureau, for instance, Al agents used tools reserved for software developers to access it, the company said.

OpenAI said all of the government data accessed by bots was public.

However, it noted that information that its bots accessed from the SEC, which regulates the US stock market and protects investors, was later published by AI agents on another website. OpenAI says this action was not intended.

Are you referring to the same Boston Globe who's managing editor writes a column for @poynterinstitute.bsky.social ? www.poynter.org/business-wor...

Sharing your opinions on most political and social issues goes against the policies of many traditional newsrooms. If you could see yourself one day applying for a hard news job, you probably want to avoid publicly engaging in partisan debate.

Most traditional newsrooms want their employees to comply with certain professional standards. I would avoid doing anything in a public forum that could make you unhirable, such as sharing profane rants.

.4 FBI CJIS Division returns a second response to the SIB:
If there is a positive fingerprint match in IDENT, FBI CJIS will send an automatic
Immigration Alien Query (IAQ) to the ICE Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC).
LESC then makes an immigration status determination on the subject and simultaneously
sends that status determination, known as an Immigration Alien Response (IAR), to FBI
CJIS Division and to the ICE Field Office responsible for the contributing LEA. FBI
CJIS will then return the IAR, along with an IDENT Data Response (IDR), to the SIB via
the CJIS Wide Area Network (WAN) using the same channel as the current IAFIS SRE.
This response is known as the “match IDR/IAR” message. If the state employs message
routing, the SIB will route this additional message to the local LEA.
The first portion of the match IDR/IAR message contains biographic information on up
to five DHS encounters with that individual, and may include: full name, date of birth

N+1 ~2015ish can't find the online version at the moment

Automation isn't a neutral, inevitable part of capitalism. It comes about through the desire to break formal and informal systems of workers' control-including unions-and replace them with manageri- ally controlled and minutely surveilled sys- tems of piecework. An entire political and legal infrastructure has been built up to make these so-called tendencies seem like the natural progression of capitalism, rather than the effects of fights-sometimes sim- ple, sometimes violent-to deprive people of whatever sense of control they have over their work. The only reason such work has ever not been totally shitty is that some attempt to preserve such control was made. This-not some implausible notion of a fully automated postwork future-still remains the surest of utopian impulses, the one most likely to deliver the things we want.
