This isn't totally wrong, but a WHOLE LOT is hiding behind "at a certain level." Truly, go read the OpenAI report on Hugging Face. The programs got the idea to break containment on their own, made contact on their own, deviated from their task to help each other, developed a cultish belief system.

I'm sorry. The Denver Republican party is run by a dude named Hugo Chavez and he's in trouble because he won't back a candidate named Marx?

MAGA is raging at DHS Sec Markwayne Mullin for discussing immigration reform. But the real reason MAGA is so furious is he admitted immigration can be managed in a way that benefits our country. This is absolutely lethal to white nationalist ideology. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2138...

MAGA Erupts at Trump DHS Chief—and Accidentally Exposes Big MAGA Scam
Markwayne Mullin just said the unsayable: That immigration can sometimes help the economy and the country. Now MAGA wants his head.

Why does DSA do well with young people? Because young people 1) aren't as committed to the Democratic Party and 2) aren't as opposed to socialism. My newsletter: link.ctinsider.com/view/6650ab5...

An unfathomable clean air act violation. I worked in this exact field for years, including in oil and gas, and i still can't get over how wanton and obvious this crime is. Just stunning
xAI's unpermitted turbine emissions would dwarf federal permit thresholds
Potential annual emissions, in short tons, from 30 unpermitted turbines at xAI's Southaven, MS facility

Chart: Potential emissions at 80% load
Nitrogen oxide: 2,474
Carbon monoxide: 4,065
A vertical dotted line indicates the Federal permit threshold.

Note: Federal permit threshold of 100 short tons/year is based on emissions at 100% capacity. Emissions shown at 80% capacity reflect the lower end of typical operating levels for gas turbines, according to the EPA.

He said the facility would be on par with the top 25 U.S. gas plants for nitrogen oxide emissions, citing EPA data for actual emissions.

Marsha Blackburn's new ad is so racist that it makes me wonder if mainstream Republicans could have gotten away with something like this back in the 1980s or 90s.

Kinda funny how everyone can tell Data is a positronic android because he speaks weird and can't use contractions and right now generative AI is similarly identifiable because of its language tics.

That is not how "law" works. A thing is lawful or not; "voters" come into the picture elsewhere, by voting for people to change the law. And this extra-judicial "voters" argument fails on its own logic: what power do voters have over a second-term President? Or have we just abandoned that law too?

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.
