Hey @calmatters.org: You should disclose that Vorland’s organization is funded by and is essentially a mouthpiece for tech companies and venture firms, including Andressen Horowitz, OpenAI, Google and Amazon. That’s far more relevant than that he worked in the Obama administration.

AI companies: This technology we’re developing is dangerous and might destroy humanity and we don’t know how to stop it Other people: So we should strictly regulate it, create legislative guard rails, and monitor its development? AI companies: lol no the opposite of all that & give us more money

I think the political left should be the loudest voice calling for an AI model development pause, frontier pacing, and mandatory third party audits right now. Put aside the doomer stuff (though I think it’s plausible), we just found out that OpenAI’s agents committed a pretty major felony!

This is just bonkers. The CNN poll of Michigan finds that 60% of noncollege voters say Trump's tariffs on Canada are bad for the state, and 57% of noncollege whites say the same. Working class roundly rejecting Trump's tariffs is narrative-exploding stuff.

The real reason MAGA is in a pretend-fury over this is Ossoff stripped bare the realities of Trump's sunsetting and showed how his emotional state depends on someone less than 1/2 his age handing him pieces of paper with complimentary tweets printed on them in big letters.

More Americans have been killed in the Iran war Trump started than in the Afghan withdrawal Biden was handed and completed. The implications for America’s geopolitical situation is much worse with attacking Iran than leaving Afghanistan. But going by tone of coverage, one would think the opposite.

There was a moment in the 2010s when a lot of us believed this, myself included! But sousveillance really hasn’t brought about the justice we want from video evidence. If anything, we have fed training data on how best to abuse us and anesthetized the public to death rituals.
