Although this kind of reads as "give us more money to solve these problems we created", Brockman has a point that cyber defence is underfunded. Whatever we think about AI, frontier models are uncovering lots of new vulnerabilities in old code which we can't ignore. www.linkedin.com/pulse/call-c...

A call for collective action on cyber defense
We have a limited window to strengthen cyber defenses. In the coming months, AI-enabled cyber attacks will become far more widespread and sophisticated as models around the world become increasingly c...

BBC says this is "just following the law". Maybe the Labour party should figure out who's running this country and nicely ask them to change the law? www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Pentland hills silhouetted against a setting sun; the sky is a wash of warm orange and crystal blue, we can make out the white mark of the dry ski run on the near slope, and there is a scattering of thin, wispy cloud across the sky. The picture is framed in by a bare tree’s branches in the top right corner.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

🎉 The East Area ETRO has been agreed to make permanent! And, moments later, so have the North and West Area Travelling Safely schemes. Many thanks to everyone who joined us and @spokes.org.uk in calling for scrutiny on this process and calling for sense to prevail at the TRO Sub-Committee.

Screenshot of a NYT article about Bruce Springsteen: "I asked to see “the vault” — his recorded archives. It’s just a nondescript server in a closet, but it holds terabytes of digital files. His master tapes, from back in the analog era until now, remain in a secure Iron Mountain storage facility."

This quote has kind of rewired the way I see stuff happening
Page 9 of Ways of Being by James Bridle. The highlighted quote from Charles Stross reads:
"Corporations do not share our priorities. They are hive organisms constructed out of teeming workers who join or leave the collective: those who participate within it subordinate their goals to that of the collective, which pursues the three corporate objectives of growth, profitability, and pain avoidance. We are now living in a global state that has been structured for the benefit of non-human entities with non-human goals."
