The backflips AI labs are doing to ignore the fact that multiple federal and state agencies, the AG, state AGs, all have the power to send skilled investigators with a legal mandate to access any systems they need to, publicly report findings, and sanction w/penalties & criminal charges if necessary

Biden signed an EO on AI to require companies to share their safety test results and to task the NIST to set rigorous standards for AI safety, security, and trustworthy development before public deployment. I would imagine Trump killed those efforts.

#poetry #poetsky
mac os 8 desktop screenshot at the time "00:44". a pop-up window labeled atproto says: the witch offers you a poem.
the two buttons say "run" and "accept"same desktop and time as previous photo, but this time there are two windows side-by-side with the following poem:
dying is hard work,
we know that:
look at all that could have killed us but failed.
we've even survived ourselves.

it's slow and then all at once.
they say your life flashes before your eyes.
i've heard tale it's more like swimming,
swimming towards a ship speeding north.
and you know you won't reach it,
lactic acid building up
in that space where time loses meaning.
all the while;
families playing in the water, 
tanning on the shore,
the schools of fish don't seem to notice you.
your heart waving goodbye:
"goodbye
to the sweetest loves i've known,
to the only body i remember,
to the earth who gave me shelter and joy and terror."
you, the violet sea,
and what has created you - 
the vignettes of memories,
all the words still stuck in your throat.

i don't know if there's peace in it.
i've only seen the waves weather a living, fading person.
watching their bones continue to paddle against thrashing waves.
we turn the lights low, 
whisper passages from their favorite book.
share stories of their life.

on that ship, facing you,
arms waving franctically, throwing up flares,
yelling:
"the boat has no steering,
but dear beloved, we can't forget you.
we will give our breath to your name, 
since we cannot give it to your lungs.
dear gods, please slow this vessel,
shield their vessel.
can you hear us?"
can *you* hear us?

- c.m.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.
