„Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz bezeichnet die Organisation als "linksextremistisch", weil sie den Rechtsstaat mit Kritik an Gerichtsentscheidungen als repressiv bezeichnet und der Polizei immer wieder Gewalt vorwirft.“ Das geht ja inzwischen sehr schnell mit dem Linksextremismus-Vorwurf.

In other news: Last Friday, I defended my dissertation on the gender history of German gaming magazines 1980-2000! 🎉😁 Writing, submitting, and now, finally, defending my thesis as part of @chludens.bsky.social was such a wild ride and such a joy, I'm forever grateful for this whole experience ❤️

Peter #Thiel today gets the Axel Springer Award for Palantir being a company „that is crucial to the resilience of democracies“. So Berlin protests this bullshit and Thiel with a bunge of Gandalfs.
A group of four individuals dressed in costumes and wigs holds protest signs in a street. The signs feature messages related to "Thiel" in German. The background includes a modern building and a crowd of people.

*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

Die Linke in Berlin hat ein Problem mit teils absurden Nahost-Takes und einer, gerade in Neukölln, viel zu großen Toleranz gegenüber Parolen wie „Intifada wie die PFLP“. Aber der CDU und vielen anderen kaufe ich gerade schlicht nicht ab, dass es ihnen wirklich um Antisemitismusbekämpfung geht.

It's interesting to me that these guys put so much energy into refuting (what they think we meant by) "stochastic parrots" and maybe not as much into refuting the (solid) research connecting "AI" to eugenics, racism, and fascism. >>

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."
Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing "the" labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated. Instead, use wording such as people with mental illnesses. And use these descriptions only when clearly relevant.

The use of "the French" in this tweet by @AP was inappropriate and has caused unintended offense. An updated tweet is upcoming.

- Bans non-NATO bases
- Screening mechanism for investments that would allow a block on Chinese, Russian investments
- Greenland population can choose its political future
- No territory transferred to the US

i dunno if anyone besides chris has ever come close to explaining why VR won’t “die” in this succinct a manner
But at the same time, the magic of VR is that when it works it’s like being unstuck in time and deposited into a potential branching future. You can never kill VR because there is absolutely nothing like it for the people for whom it truly matters. [begin highlight] The format has a dedicated Sardaukar army of furries, simmers, Beatsaber players, and perverts. [end highlight] The lengths that they will go to make VR work, modding and tweaking and creating full body tracking, is terrifying and rarely matched. You should see the regular updates that Resonite, what I can only describe as “VRChat but made by furries”, received.

The U.S. AI industry is being run by a batshit rationalist sex cult, and no, I am not being hyperbolic - they’re genuinely Like That:
Erin Redwing
@realizingerin
I went to an rationalist/EA Al doomer event last night with the goal of meeting someone who could calmly explain to me the argument for how they get to the conclusion that Al will kill everyone.
Because these are rationalists, I expected to find people who could lay out a serious extinction pathway, walk through the assumptions and intermediate steps, identify choke points where negative pathways could potentially be regulated, and entertain disagreement about where their assumptions might break down.
My experience was the exact opposite.
The people I spoke to seemed psychologically unable to entertain the possibility that their conclusion (that Al literally kills everyone, which was a point that many would not even budge on) might be wrong.
Their most extreme conclusion was treated as an axiom.
I had multiple people walk out of conversations with me when I questioned their inevitable extinction premise.
At one point during a panel, the moderator asked everyone in the audience who was still skeptical of Al doom to raise their hands. About half the room did. He then told all of the skeptics to leave the panel and go with one of the speakers, who would answer their questions separately. They filtered out all the skeptics, and continued the panel only with the subset who accepted their extreme position.
I genuinely felt like a heretic just for questioning whether superintelligent Al inevitably leads to the extinction of humanity, or entertaining the possibility that the future might actually turn out well.
That does not mean Al safety is fake. Obviously there are serious questions about rapidly advancing Al systems and what happens as they become much more capable. Those are exactly the conversations I went there hoping to have.
But what I encountered was an apocalyptic death cult. These people are not rational. They are deeply afraid, they reinforce that fear in one another, and they have become so emotionally committed to apocalypse
