Never get too comfortable on any one social media platform. None of them are trustworthy and none of them are obligated to remain functional.

Literal shoot first ask questions never.

Jesus that’s hard to watch. Panicky coward shooting the first thing that frightens him, which was a sacred kid fleeing a different dangerous creep with a gun…

OBVIOUSLY do not use AI, at all. AT ALL, for anything. I don’t wanna hear about the theoretical good version, it’s not what they’re pushing on us. The absolute worst people in the world have gone all in on this shit, and it needs to be starved out as much as possible. AI: not even once!

ABC cuts the video quickly, which doesn’t give you a proper sense of just how reckless this shooting was. The cop shoots the kid in the back, and after that shouts β€œSan Diego Police!”

The AP version shows the actual shooting: youtu.be/1zbeKUFK828

Yeah for real this isn't brought up in conversation enough when we talk about OpenAI and its boss.

Jurassic World Movie CLIP - Jimmy Fallon's Safety Video (2015) - Chris Pratt Movie HD
YouTube video by Rotten Tomatoes Coming Soon Jurassic World Movie CLIP - Jimmy Fallon's Safety Video (2015) - Chris Pratt Movie HD

His cameo in Jurassic World as HIMSELF talking about how SAFE the park was is very appropriate.

Also the funniest thing he ever did, in that it’s grimly amusing even inside a fictional setting you can find Jimmy Fallon stanning for psycho billionaires’ latest scam. His actual bit was shit. =P

I’m so glad to hear someone else say that cause it really is the best analogy. They used to put asbestos in EVERYTHING and β€œAI” feels like the digital equivalent.

The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI (permalink)
Last night, I gave a speech for the University of Washington's "Neuroscience, AI and Society" lecture series, through the university's Computational Neuroscience Center. It was called "The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Criticizing AI," and it's based on the manuscript for my next book, "The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI," which will be out from Farrar, Straus and Giroux next June:

This piece on AI by Cory Doctorow is spectactular.

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."

"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

So far this video is also great because it clearly lays out a way they are testing this.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman denies sexual abuse allegations made by sister - BBC News Ann Altman filed a lawsuit alleging her brother sexually abused her between 1997 and 2006.

I had no idea and it absolutely explains why Silicon Valley and the right and the administration loves him. I was wondering why they were so in on OpenAI. Committing sex crimes and assaulting kids are the most important part of being a Republican or Republican adjacent.

My best friend is from Australia and first contacted me online when he was 16. So this news actually pisses me off on a personal level.

When you get in a stupid argument online, you can now rest assured that you at least aren't arguing with a 14 year old Australian.

Read this β€” the new defense bill directs Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and Tulsi Gabbard to determine what weapons Israel is lacking due to other nations embargoing it.

Then, it directs the US to fill those gaps β€” by doing things like working around legal "barriers" to send Israel even more weapons:

My senior year the graduation soc/an class made shirts that said "deadlines are a social construct" and the department chair spent the entire last semester reminding us that theses were due soon and that yes deadlines are a social construct but please remember, social constructs are also real

Santa is a social construct

Social constructs are real

Therefore, Santa is technically real

And re: β€œthe issue is done”

An actor literally just got replaced for striking for better AI protections. It just happened.

This whole thread exists because fans are trying to pretend it didn’t.

The issue might be done for you, but the issue also barely affected you to begin with.

Farrah and Muhanad have a lot of integrity and upon finding out that a scammer was trying to trick other Gazans by saying he promoted their campaign (when he didn’t) they decided to change the URL so he couldn’t do that- so this is their new link to their fundraiser now.

all the fake AI trash really contradicts one of the main ways we're told capitalism operates, with capitalists identifying wants/needs & developing products & services to meet those. turns out you can skip that step & just pretend. nigh everyone hates AI and it makes no money but it's everywhere

It says in the article it’s a new 8-min scene of O-ren getting revenge against to hitman who actually killed her father added in after the scene she killed the mob boss who ordered said killing.
