Russian propaganda doesn’t have to invent America’s arguments. It can find the cracks already there and push them wider. U.S. intelligence has to track the foreign hand without confusing disagreement with espionage. #Russia #Intelligence #NationalSecurity www.kyivpost.com/opinion/83197

Something that never ceases to amuse/infuriate me about the US legal system is that there are separate standards for "reasonable person" and "reasonable [law enforcement] officer", and the "reasonable officer" standard kinda boils down to "reasonable person after several strong blows to the head".

I Want Better Reporting on AI Genie Behavior
AI systems are regularly completing tasks in ways that their prompters don't want or intend. Some of them are disturbing, and some of them are dangerous. This is something I've been calling "genie behavior," because I think that really gets at the core of what's happening. I wish the popular press would report on this better. I don't like the "going rogue" framing because it deflects the responsibility from the prompters -- often the AI companies themselves.
