I propose a moratorium on news stories describing AI* tools as “going rogue” as if they have intent and moral agency. Instead, let’s describe the events in terms of the companies’ negligence.

so we just nearly started a war with china (a nuclear state) because of genAI use
The intelligence report, circulated across the US military this spring in the midst of the war with Iran, immediately set off alarm bells: A Chinese ship in the Middle East was transporting components of a nuclear weapons program.
The US military swung into action with plans to intercept the vessel, according to four sources familiar with the episode.
According to two of the sources, armed members of the US military were preparing to board the ship. Military planes were in the air, one of those sources and another source familiar with the incident said.
It was only just before the planned operation that officials dug deeper into the report put together by a special operations command analyst and found it had been generated with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) — and that a chatbot the analyst had used inaccurately identified the material the ship was carrying. CNN was not able to learn what the misidentified cargo was.
The report, according to one of the sources, was "entirely false." But it also "almost started a war," the source said. Any US operation against a Chinese vessel could have risked spiraling into an armed conflict between the two nations.

To underscore why this is especially awful for those who may not know, the measles vaccine is usually given at 12 months. Newborns rely on community immunity to prevent exposure, which until recently we have had in the US. This quite literally could be anyone's newborn. None of this had to happen.

OK everybody remember, this "debate me on racism" thing has been tried before and people actually did debate the racists and all it ended up doing was elevating racist messaging. Also, that message was sown on Twitter to be bait for journalists in 2016 so maybe don't fall for it this time around 🥰

Feels like the trans hatred has become self-justifying. It's the free space they retreat to when they've got nothing, and they have got so much nothing these days. So invariably, the campaigns that do win—thanks to thermostatics, structural bias, or luck—had trans hatred as a pillar.

I try not to do this but just imagining the world if it was quasi public knowledge that Obama was sleeping with a little blonde woman decades his junior. It really really does seem to me that the point of Trump was to prove that the lowest white man could do the job if a black man had done it.
