JUST IN: OpenAI has deleted the word โ€˜safelyโ€™ from its mission

A recent analysis of 2,857 modules โ€” known as โ€œskillsโ€ in the OpenClaw ecosystem โ€” found that roughly 12% were malicious, with several designed to deploy malware such as keyloggers and data stealers via what initially appeared to be legitimate extensions.

I think as a society we must ask why we care so much about the thoughts of a marketing professor.

Trump is privatizing US imperialism: His Board of Peace is the next step There is an insidious shift underway: The monetization and privatization of foreign policy for personal enrichment.

Trump isnโ€™t reviving old-school U.S. imperialism. Heโ€™s privatizing it.

My latest in @thehill.com on the Board of Peace and the shift from public authority to personalized, monetized power.

reads: Absolutely brilliant piece about the Left's TOTAL blindness on AI. Their dismissal of AI risks mirrors how climate deniers treat CO2. 

Will probably get a lot of nastiness for this on Bluesky, but I guess that's part of the same problem.

i shouldnโ€™t give this piece any more attention than it has already garnered but i feel like it is worth pointing out some flaws in the argument/unquestioned assumptions

So SCOTUS, with its fabricated-out-of-thin-air immunity doctrine, has actually made American presidents less accountable than LITERAL royalty.

Steinbergergs Darstellung und Kontrastierung von US-Europa (Innovation vs. Regulierung) deckt sich nicht mit meiner Wahrnehmung.

Steinberger hat offenbar noch nicht verstanden, dass diejenigen, die nach wie vor das AI-Kool-Aid trinken, mittlerweile auch in den USA zur Minderheit werden. Empfehle Enshittification von Cory Doctorow dazu und seine Ausfรผhrung zu Tech-Talent/Tech-Workers.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I honestly don't see why it has to be (mostly) female, junior, and/or marginalised scholars and journalists who put up the guardrails of what is acceptable and point out the morally corrupt decisions and questionable public behaviour of a renowned senior scholar. But here we are. It's frustrating.

I'm kind of sick and tired of seeing privileged (mostly male) senior scholars take advantage of their own privileged positions to mainstream and normalise the far right, seemingly without any shame (or consequences).

Your work is harming us all (collectively, societally, and within the discipline).

Once again--Trump is weakening Ukrainian air defense to help Putin kill Ukrainian civilians and damage Ukrainian infrastructure.

How many times does this need to be said before people will get it.
