People need to be charged over AI hacking offences. If a human uses a tool to break into a physical premises, they get charged. Same must apply with the people who program AI.

Australian Champion Announces World-First Boycott of Israel Over Genocide
Australia’s top-ranked women’s chess player has sparked a global debate about Israel’s participation in international sporting tournaments by becoming the first player to boycott Israel over its genocide of Palestinians at the Chess world’s biggest tournament — the 46th Chess Olympiad currently taking place in Samarkand, Uzbekistan.​ On Wednesday, Heather Richards announced she would not take part in Australia’s round seven match against Israel at the Olympiad, a biennial tournament involving 205 countries that served as the chess world’s premier international competition since 1927.​ ​Richards, a mechanical engineer who lives in Gladstone, Queensland, is currently Australia’s women's chess champion. She said that she was participating in a sporting boycott of Israel because the country was committing a genocide. ### This post is for subscribers only Become a member to get access to all content Subscribe now

RIP Dolly Parton. Years ago at Slate I edited an excerpt from @sarahsmarsh.bsky.social's acclaimed biography of Dolly, "She Come by It Natural," about the rural poverty she came out of, and how it inspired so much of her music. Worth your time. slate.com/culture/2020...

Dolly Parton Was the Besequined and Bedazzled Queen of Country—but She Was Also a Wickedly Dark Realist
The beloved icon’s songs are imbued with the hell she lived through—and laughter about it.
