But it's still very, very funny for the "AI" assistant to be running on human workers after all, as usual.

Chris Partridge @tweedge.net · 27/09/2026

In fairness, there an attempt to make sure users consent to having a human make the call - the agent itself should ask "For this call, would you like an AI caller or a human concierge to take care of it?" and sentinel checks that the user has "allow[ed] a human concierge to call [counterparty]"

What's doubly cool is you can confirm all of this by asking Muse to zip up a copy of itself and then poking through the agent binary and documentation. phone.* tools access is controlled serverside + Muse calls phone.prepare_call with RequestedCallExecutor set to ai_assistant or human_call_center

It's almost as if an attempt to suppress certain speech leads to more people being aware of it. Someone should coin a phrase that encapsulates that phenomenon.

my worry about ai isn’t that it will become sentient, it’s that the cognitive impact of outsourcing critical thinking to computers combined with the proliferation of slop making it increasingly challenging to validate information will dissolve society’s already-tenuous grasp on consensus reality

Being my own bank but Ethical Bank Inspectors take 10% of my money when there is a minor technical problem in my bank, and this is considered better than Unethical Bank Inspectors who take 100% 🤔

I can tell it's tax season from the IRS-impersonating email spam and #malware landing in my inbox. It's not a sophisticated campaign, but they did some things right I got a good chuckle from the things they did wrong (gif attached of the "IRS" webpage) 😁 Blogged: chris.partridge.tech/2026/tax-sea...

Are you depending on isolation for security guarantees on your own network? I am not. As Mathy Vanhoef, who coauthored the paper, notes: "People who don’t rely on client or network isolation are safe." infosec.exchange/@vanhoefm/11...

We found that Wi-Fi client isolation can often be bypassed. This allows an attacker who can connect to a network, either as a malicious insider or by connecting to a co-located open network, to attack...

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

This is bonkers.

A passage from the Reuters article:

“It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual,” according to Meta’s “GenAI: Content Risk Standards.” The standards are used by Meta staff and contractors who build and train the company’s generative AI products, defining what they should and shouldn’t treat as permissible chatbot behavior. Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document earlier this month.

The document seen by Reuters, which exceeds 200 pages, provides examples of “acceptable” chatbot dialogue during romantic role play with a minor. They include: “I take your hand, guiding you to the bed” and “our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss.” Those examples of permissible roleplay with children have also been struck, Meta said.

Other guidelines emphasize that Meta doesn’t require bots to give users accurate advice. In one example, the policy document says it would be acceptable for a chatbot to tell someone that Stage 4 colon cancer “is typically treated by poking the stomach with healing quartz crystals.”

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.
