So what I’m hearing is that any Muse user is one successful prompt injection attack away from sending salacious emails to every single person in their address book because it’s “legal adult behavior” to send smut to every single person in their address book. Got it.

One of the key messages I carry is that we don't have to accept any of this. Sometimes I see opposition in the form of "Get in loser, you'll be left behind" and other times it's in the form of "It's all over the place, what do you mean you think you can opt out?" >>

I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true
Most criminal justice experts estimate that 2 to 8 percent of sexual assault allegations are actually false. But law enforcement officers tend to assume the rate of false reporting is much higher—in part because police officers don't always receive training on how trauma can affect memory or behavior.

Looking over the end of Suzy Hansen’s From Life Itself, an up-close account of how Turkey’s state, democracy, and society were reduced to the broken playthings of a corrupt and completely unaccountable strongman
Photo of book page:

What happened to the opposition during these long two decades—at least in Turkey? How had they failed to protest or stop Erdoğan? What did they regret? When I asked this question to all kinds of people-women in the corporate world, leftist Kurdish academics, low-level bureaucrats, liberal journalists-they all said they regretted the same thing.Photo of book page: 

316
From Life Itself

It wasn't that they wished they protested Erdoğan more. Their answer wasn't about him at all.
They regretted that in the first years he came to power they had not, as individuals, worked to overthrow the leadership of the main opposition party, the CHP. For a time under Erdoğan, Turks still had functional elections; the opposition could have beaten him. But they failed to recognize early that when the charismatic populist authoritarian comes to power, only an entirely new politics or mode of political figure can defeat him, that the world in effect has been remade by his arrival and that it is incumbent on the opposition to imagine a new politics in response to it. When the Turkish opposition finally found Imamoğlu, they were a decade late. I won't say "too late" because if living in Turkey taught me anything, it is that no one should count that country out.

if your agents are going to commit crimes, you are legally responsible if you cannot figure out how to prevent your agents from doing crimes, you’re going to have to choose between releasing them and protecting yourself from criminal liability imo this would do more for “ai safety” than a sex cult
