Meta Director of AI Safety Allows AI Agent to Accidentally Delete Her Inbox Meta Superintelligence Labs’ director of alignment called it a “rookie mistake.”

NEW: Meta’s director of AI safety, supposedly the person at the company who is working to make sure that powerful AI tools don’t go rogue and act against human interests, had to scramble to stop an AI agent from deleting her inbox against her wishes...

How can we sustainably operate an (open) data infrastructure in the public interest? This question lies at the heart of my current work for OpenParlData.ch, an open API for harmonized data from 🇨🇭 parliaments. 1/3

FOSDEM 2026 - Stream AW1.120

If you are filled with FOMO like me because you could not attend #FOSDEM this year, remember everything is live streamed. I just heard a great talk from @florihas.bsky.social about how they harmonized the access to Swiss #ParlData with OpenParlData.ch :

Opinion | Marco Rubio is using real censorship to fight fake censorship Mike Masnick: In the name of protecting free speech, the U.S. government just banned five Europeans from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.

If that sounds insane to you, congratulations on your reading comprehension.

Andrew Kadel @DrewKadel@social.coop

My daughter, who's had a degree in computer science for 25 years, posted this about ChatGPT on Facebook. It's the best description I've seen.

Something that seems fundamental to me about ChatGPT, which gets lost over and over again:

When you enter text into it, you're asking "What would a response to this sound like?"

If you put in a scientific question, and it comes back with a response citing a non-existent paper with a plausible title, using a real journal name and an author name who's written things related to your question, it's not being tricky or telling lies or doing anything at all surprising! This is what a response to that question would sound like! It did the thing!

But people keep wanting the "say something that sounds like an answer" machine to be doing something else, and believing it *is* doing something else.

It's good at generating things that sound like responses to being told it was wrong, so people think that it's engaging in introspection or looking up more information or something, but it's not, it's only, ever, saying something that sounds like the next bit of the conversation.

There hasn’t been enough appreciation for how thoroughly BENNIE THOMPSON humiliated FBI official GLASHEEN after he tried to sell the lie that ANTIFA is the top domestic terror threat.

The claim collapsed because it’s a cover.

All I can say this morning is look for the helpers, like Ahmed.

Härtere Folgen als angenommen: Ein Ja zur SRG-Initiative wäre das Ende des heutigen Onlineangebots von SRF Nimmt das Volk die Halbierungs­initiative an, müsste die SRG ihre heutigen News-Apps und ihre Social-Media-Aktivitäten wohl komplett einstellen.

Würde die Anti-SRG-Initiative im März angenommen, liefen SRF, RTS und Co. wohl bald nur noch in Altersheimen. www.tagesanzeiger.ch/srg-initiati...

How Stablecoins Can Help Criminals Launder Money and Evade Sanctions Through layers of intermediaries, stablecoins can be moved, swapped and mixed into pools of other funds in ways that are difficult to trace, experts say.

Smugglers, money launderers and people facing sanctions once relied on diamonds, gold and artwork to store illicit fortunes. Now, criminals are turning to stablecoins, a cryptocurrency tied to the U.S. dollar that exists largely beyond traditional financial oversight.
