Look up the term “stochastic terrorism.” The guilty party here is # POTUS and his #MAGA sycophants.

It should be a huge scandal that a close confidante of, and adviser to, President Trump and Secretary Rubio reacted to a deadly terrorist attack at a mosque by calling the mosque "evil" and calling for the deportation of all Muslims from America. But it isn't. *sighs*

“‘It was answering questions that I hadn’t thought to ask it, with this level of deviousness & cunning that I just found chilling,’ Relman said.” 🧪

“Luckily for us, the scientist, David Relman, isn't trying to actually follow those directions. The Stanford University biosecurity expert was hired by an unnamed Al company to poke holes into its chatbot system before they released it to the public, he told the NYT.
Relman was apparently so shaken up by the results of his conversation with the chatbot that he refused to name either the specific pathogen or the company whose chatbot was involved, for fear of inspiring someone to take it for a spin The suggestions were reportedly so gruesome that the chatbot suggested ways to modify the pathogen to maximize casualties, minimize the user's chance of getting caught, and optimize the pathogen to resist known treatments.”

Widen your gaze and look upon Lebanon. Nearly a million people have been displaced by Israel in the past 3 weeks. They've been told not to return. That's ethnic cleansing. The last time Israel occupied Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah was born. What horrors will be unleashed now?

Status Scoop | ProPublica's Walkout Warning: The possibility of ProPublica staffers walking off the job just got far more serious. Unionized staffers at the nonprofit newsroom voted overwhelmingly this week to authorize a strike, Natalie Korach has learned. The ProPublica Guild represents about 150 journalists, videographers, and other newsroom employees. A major sticking point in the negotiations with management has centered on the use of artificial intelligence in reporting, with the union demanding protections from having jobs replaced by the rapidly advancing technology. “We are ready to walk off the job to show management that their refusal to agree to basic protections will not be tolerated and that we will not accept anything less than a fair contract,” said Agnel Philip, unit chair of ProPublica Guild.
