The Trump administration’s actions resulted in the destruction of the largest ancient Cottonwood tree on Indigenous territory in Arizona. This tree, known as the “Grandmother Tree,” was 250 years old.

Fox News complains about fat sex workers, MAGA claims Nixon got framed by the deep state, and Dear Leader spews a lot of stupid shit. thank you for your attention to 'this week in stupid,' my every-Saturday wrap-up of the dumbest fucking idiocy that happened. link is here: bit.ly/4hZzS6C
Folks, it’s a well-known fact that New York City has become an unlivable hell-hole ever since that Islamomarxistfascistcommunoterrorist, Zohran Mamdani, took over as Mayor. But let me tell you — you have no idea just how fucking deep the rot goes.

Let’s listen in as the giggling idiots on Fox’s The Five make their case.

Greg Gutfeld: ‘It’s something that a lot of people aren’t talking about in terms of quality of life issues, and I don’t know if you have photos of what’s going on in that area, but, uh, how overweight the hookers have become. Have you noticed that?’

Jesse Watters: ‘I have.’

Gutfeld: ‘It’s insane.’

I have to confess, I didn’t notice. It’s not really my thing, so I’ll have to defer to the obviously extensive expertise of horndogs like Gutfield and Watters.

this is by far the best "I quit my AI job over safety concerns" essay yet because it is the first one that is able to talk about safety concerns in practical terms and that understands "safety" as a topic with extensive literature in analogous fields www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
Two changes are urgently needed. First: AI companies need to rely more on the safety expertise that already exists in other fields. And second, before we create systems significantly more capable than the ones we have today, we need new science to ensure that more capable models (and their successors) will make safe choices when we aren’t looking.

Given today’s risks, frontier labs need to run like nuclear-power plants or busy airports, with layers of redundancy and careful, time-consuming planning, so that the occasional and inevitable human error does not open a door to disaster. Right now, AI companies don’t know how—but other people do. In a nuclear-power plant, the technical systems and rules people follow are set up so that, if equipment breaks or someone pushes the wrong button, we still won’t risk a meltdown. OpenAI and other labs are growing and deploying frontier AI with far less redundancy and rigor than this, even though the harm from an irreversible loss of control would be much greater than the harm from any single meltdown. Even short of a full loss of control, we could see autonomous swarms of AI agents that act without human permission. Imagine “rogue” agents that work like teams of hackers (for example, holding hospital computer systems for ransom) but never need to sleep.
