NW:
Professor Se-jeong is thrust into a bloody nightmare when a rapidly mutating virus is released during a biotech conference causing authorities to seal the facility. Trapped inside with no escape, Se-jeong along with a small group of survivors must fight to stay alive while the infected undergo horrific transformations.

huh, humans are still better than computers at playing solitaire
For the most common variant (turn three cards, unlimited passes), a number of studies have been made. A Klondike-playing AI using Monte Carlo tree search was able to solve up to 35% of randomly generated games.[18] Another algorithm has a winning rate of 52% in "turn one" mode, and 18% in "turn three".[19] These results place a lower bound on the winnability percentage. One experiment found a skilled human player could win 189 out of 442 games (43%).[20][21]

They do, it's in the article:
404 Media asked OpenAI if it had explicitly told users that humans may review their prompts in order to improve ChatGPT’s responses, and if so, to point to where this disclosure is. OpenAI did not answer this question. Its website describes how humans may review flagged content in the context of material that violates the site’s terms of service, or that poses a safety risk, but that is separate to this sort of review. Its privacy policy also says it may use “personal data” to improve its models. If a user chooses to delete their ChatGPT conversations, OpenAI says it will remove these from its systems within 30 days, unless “it has already been de-identified and disassociated from your account when you allow us to use your Content to improve our models.” After the publication of this article, OpenAI pointed to this section on its site that says humans may review content to “improve model performance.”

literally mentions North America in the article
The person who works on the prompts that 404 Media spoke to lives in North America and said they are paid more than $50 an hour. They said they found the work through recruitment firm Crossing Hurdles, a company that “connects skilled professionals with AI training, evaluation, research, and contributor opportunities across the global AI economy,” according to its website. Its website adds, “Human intelligence powers AI progress.” Multiple people on Reddit have reported receiving unsolicited recruitment emails from Crossing Hurdles, with some trying to figure out if the company is a scam.

I don't think she has access to her own twitter account tbh
From there, the documentary reveals many surprising revelations, especially when it pertains to Holmes's husband, whom she married in 2019. Fielder discovers that Evan seems to be very involved in -- or perhaps even controlling over -- many aspects of Holmes's image, including her Twitter.

Is it their "anti-harassment" definition maybe?
Anti-Harassment: We create space for everyone to express themselves by prohibiting harassment and toxic behaviors.

    Do not stalk, persistently target, or create malicious content designed to humiliate or degrade individuals, including through coordinated campaigns.
    Do not abuse Bluesky features (lists, labels, community moderation tools), engage in bad-faith mass reporting, use automated harassment systems, or create single-purpose harassment accounts.
    Accounts that engage in extreme or persistent toxic or disruptive behavior may face restrictions or removal. This includes accounts with a high number or proportion of:
        Extreme or repeated personal attacks, such as insults or ad hominem attacks
        Posts or responses made primarily to anger, provoke, or belittle instead of to contribute criticism or a genuine opinion
        The use of hostile or inflammatory language clearly intended to create or contribute to an unwelcoming environment

I thought that EZ just refused to talk to anyone technical about it, but it turns out that he definitely had good advice, he just lied instead.
Over the past few years, I had helped Ed with some difficult nuances around the obscure technical aspects of serving LLMs (e.g. benchmarks and model caching); he has also shouted myself and Simon Willison out positively multiple times. I stopped assisting him because he repeatedly misused said advice to the most cynical interpretation ("how can this be interpreted to make AI boosters sound crazy?) and often made it misleading at best. Nowadays I suspect he views me as one of those crazy AI boosters.

Not challenging him was a mistake in hindsight, and I own it. Going forward I will no longer be helping writers/journalists with a clear anti-AI bias.

I would re-read Engels. I think you're missing the point
1. When as here and elsewhere I speak of society as a responsible whole, having rights and duties, I mean, of course, the ruling power of society, the class which at present holds social and political control, and bears, therefore, the responsibility for the condition of those to whom it grants no share in such control. This ruling class in England, as in all other civilised countries, is the bourgeoisie. But that this society, and especially the bourgeoisie, is charged with the duty of protecting every member of society, at least, in his life, to see to it, for example, that no one starves, I need not now prove to my German readers. If I were writing for the English bourgeoisie, the case would be different.– Note by Engels to the German edition of 1845.
And so it is now in Germany. Our German capitalists are fully up to the English level, in this respect at least, in the year of grace, 1886.– Added by Engels to the American edition of 1887.
(1892) How things have changed in the last fifty years! Today there are members of the English middle-classes who recognise that society has duties to the individual citizen – but as for the German middle-classes?!? – Added by Engels to the German edition of 1892. Return to Text
