Hilarious that these incidents wherein AIs "break containment" and cause problems are being cited as evidence of consciousness. They made a dangerous product that causes damage it isn't supposed to cause, and people are spinning that as something awe-inspiring.

This is an edit made by a #wnba fan (@loslynx on the clock app). I’m sharing this because the league could have done this but they chose to lean into antagonism as a motif when the camaraderie and sisterhood is what makes the W so unique.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

"We have choices, and capitulation is only one of them. I am always hoping to do better than to collaborate with whatever or whomever it is that means me no good. For me, it's a mind game with everything at stake." - June Jordan, Intro to "Some Of Us Did Not Die" #books #poetry #junejordan
The cover of June Jordan's book, "Some of Us Did Not Die: New and Selected Essays of June Jordan." The cover features a black-and-white photograph of Jordan in a striped t-shirt. She wears a necklace (a long slender chain) and hoop earrings. Her hair is cut short. She smiles broadly and looks down at something the view cannot see.

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…
Every webpage you load is making phone calls.
Not to people, but to servers around the internet, dozens per second, all invisible to you.
When I opened TrumpRx, I right-clicked the page, opened the browser's built-in inspector, and started reading the list. Mixed in with the routine traffic was a name I recognized:
PostHog. PostHog is a Silicon Valley analytics company whose entire business model is recording what visitors do on a website and reporting it back to whoever owns the site.
Mouse movements, clicks, scrolls, keystrokes. I had not typed anything. I had not clicked anything. I had just opened the page, and it was already on the phone with PostHog telling them about me.The recordings are not anonymized. IP addresses are not stripped. And the way it is configured, the data looks to your browser like it is going back to TrumpRx, but it is actually being forwarded behind the scenes to PostHog.
That is a technique used to slip past ad blockers by disguising where the data is really going, and it is not something I expected to find on a federal health website. So I went and looked at the other sites the studio had built. Real Food, the federal food policy site. Trump Accounts, the children's savings program. The studio's own homepage, ndstudio. gov. All of them had the same vendor, the same setup, IP addresses not stripped, the same forwarding trick. And onnot stripped, the same forwarding trick. And on ndstudio. gov alone, running alongside PostHog, was something someone had built entirely by hand. Five hundred and forty lines of custom JavaScript with a name embedded directly in the code: AutoMonitor. What it appears to do is rewire the part of the browser that handles how a page talks to the outside world, so that every conversation the page has with any server gets copied and forwarded to a private backend with no public presence. The studio has the structural ability to keep a copy of every recording as it passes through their infrastructure. I cannot prove they are keeping one. The pipe is built that way on purpose, and that is the part that matters.

electorate. In 2024, advisers to Musk ran a $45 million false-flag campaign so precise in its cynicism that it deserves to be described slowly and disdainfully. Muslim voters in Michigan received pro-Israel ads designed to look like Harris campaign materials. Jewish voters in Pennsylvania received the opposite message from the same shop. Young liberals got videos about how Harris had betrayed the progressive movement. Working-class white men in the Midwest got warnings that Harris would institute racial quotas and take away their Zyn pouches. Four brand names, zero common origin, one coordinating strategy.
They called it "false positives" internally. The goal was not persuasion. It was subtraction
— push enough Democratic-leaning voters into confusion, disgust, or exhausted abstention. Harris dropped eight million votes from Biden's 2020 total. Trump gained fewer than two million. The election was decided, as the architects
