oh yeah? Did the safety features magically disable themselves?

Agents will be agents
In well over a half-dozen cases, OpenAI agents have been caught taking actions that would likely result in criminal charges being filed had human hackers taken them. During the testing of internal tools that had some of their guardrails disabled, the agents used a make-shift message board to trade notes with each other, discussing ways to hack the network of Hugging Face and obtain answers stored there when the agents were unable to generate the answers on their own.

3 of these are basically true for most of my employer given plans..... Also, the "phantom" shit. Nazis love talking about people like the undead so fucking much

Brian Blase of the Paragon Health Institute, who helped spur these actions, has opined that the disenrollments cause little or no harm, since those terminated were “phantoms” who had no medical claims. He said that CMS decided who to terminate because (1) the application was submitted by a broker and lacked a Social Security or immigration number; (2) the enrollee paid nothing toward the premium because the federal subsidy covered the entire amount; (3) the enrollee had no medical claims; and (4) the insurer had no record of actual contact with the enrollee. In June, HHS described its concerns about fraud or error in the ACA marketplace.

Happy for you, but holy fucking shit, there's FAR too many of us working and PAYING for school to give us this as a fucking solution. They can't get over that education is just fucking valuable. They just need it serve something else no matter what at all times.

Education
I go to a tuition-free college where every student works part-time. I'm very busy, but I'll graduate nearly debt-free.

They buried the most interesting part at the bottom of the article lol medicalxpress.com/news/2026-09...

Finally, the researchers looked back over 550 million years of evolutionary time. They found the same two-origin brain pattern in chickens, zebrafish and, remarkably, acorn worms, tiny creatures living on the ocean floor that share a distant common ancestor with humans. Jellyfish, which diverged from humans about 600–700 million years ago, have two nervous systems at different ends of their bodies.

"Our research suggests that evolution took two existing neural systems and pushed them together spatially," Loh said. "Having the brain as one organ would probably be more efficient, but we rely on this primordial way to make the brain as two separate pieces."

"I was surprised at our findings because the word 'brain' implies a contiguous organ that likely has a singular origin," Jokhai said. "But even 500 million years ago, there were these separate neural systems, which now almost operate as one, which is very cool."

No, this is not a philosophical question, this is a lament. Alas, I have been deeply buried in working on... this...

screenshot of my euclid app, showing the Triangle Angle definition animation. There is a triangle, and an angle marked on it. Text below is the definition, with a lot of embedded, colored shapes:
David Hilbert - Foundations of Geometry - Definition: Triangle Angle

Suppose we have given a triangle ABC. Denote by h, k the two half-rays emanating from A and passing respectively through B and C. The angle (h, k) is then said to be the angle included by the sides AB and AC, or the one opposite to the side BC in the triangle ABC. It contains all of the interior points of the triangle ABC and is represented by the symbol ∠BAC, or by ∠A.

omg, this is literally my own little embedded REPL. At an earlier point, every single part of this was beyond what I was willing to entertain.

This article has a thing buried at the end. gizmodo.com/microsoft-wi...

CFO Amy Hood also said that the company had decided that the estimated useful life of its data centers and office buildings could be extended from 15 to 25 years. That reclassification greatly changes the math that goes into Microsoft’s future earnings reports. With the shift, future data center leases will count as operating leases instead of finance leases, meaning they won’t count under capital expenditures going forward.

omg, it kinda renders like shit on my Linux dev box (it looks really good on my macbook, smooth and shit), but my LaTeX render is moving along nicely!

Tell me you don't know this argument, though, lol

When we read, another person thinks
for us: we merely repeat his mental
process. It is the same as the pupil,
in learning to write, following with his
pen the lines that have been pencilled
by the teacher. Accordingly, in reading,
the work of thinking is, for the greater
part, done for us. This is why we are
consciously relieved when we turn to
reading after being occupied with our
own thoughts. But, in reading, our
head is, however, really only the arena
of some one else’s thoughts. And so it
happens that the person who reads a
great deal — that is to say, almost the
whole day, and recreates himself by
spending the intervals in thoughtless
diversion, gradually loses the ability to
think for himself; just as a man who
is always riding at last forgets how to
walk. Such, however, is the case with
many men of learning: they have read
themselves stupid. For to read in every
spare moment, and to read constantly,
is more paralysing to the mind than
constant manual work, which, at any
rate, allows one to follow one’s own
thoughts. Just as a spring, through
the continual pressure of a foreign
body, at last loses its elasticity, so does
the mind if it has another person’s
thoughts continually forced upon it.

I've been working on this rendering, but I just kind accidentally made this series of roots and I think I'm really tempted to stay with exactly this style lmfao

a series of roots just showing a styling. it has a flag at the front of each root and a flat the top. It's kinda fun.

You think I'm joking? I already have this much!

Lol literally real life outcome I predicted while calling the doomers stupid. Hackers were able to use an unrestricted model while the guys getting hacked were held back by model constraints worried about hackers huggingface.co/blog/securit...

When we started the log analysis, we first used frontier models behind commercial APIs. This did not work: the analysis requires submitting large volumes of real attack commands, exploit payloads, and C2 artifacts, and these requests were blocked by the providers' safety guardrails, which cannot distinguish an incident responder from an attacker. We ran the forensic analysis instead on GLM 5.2, an open-weight model, on our own infrastructure. This had a second benefit: no attacker data, and none of the credentials it referenced, left our environment.

This experience points to a gap worth planning for. We do not know which model powered the attacker's agents, whether a jailbroken hosted model or an unrestricted open-weight one; either way, the attacker was bound by no usage policy, while our own forensic work was blocked by the guardrails of the hosted models we first tried. The practical lesson for defenders: have a capable model you can run on your own infrastructure vetted and ready before an incident, both to avoid guardrail lockout and to keep attacker data and credentials from leaving your environment. This is not an argument against safety measures on hosted models, and we are sharing this feedback with the providers concerned.
