When Chatbots Are Used to Plan Violence, Is There a Duty to Warn?

"OpenAI has said ChatGPT has Ph.D.-level intelligence, yet the chatbot was not astute enough to recognize that it was assisting a suicide bomber."

Yeah, that tracks.

Sir, hat's off to you.

When do you think Musk is going to prison?

Washington Legislature: REGULATE DATA CENTERS NOW House Bill 2515 faces its next big test on Tuesday, Feb. 24. Tell Washington State lawmakers to pass this critical bill. Take this action now, even if you've already sent a letter.

Washingtonians! Think we should give tax breaks to the world's richest companies? No? Sign this!

Think your electric rates shouldn't go up because those same companies are using all the power? Sign this one too!

Again re-stating my conspiracy theory that all of this serves as a way to pressure companies to build on-site behind-the-meter fossil gas generation as part of a crony capitalist deal with the fossil fuel companies to fabricate demand for their expensive product

Our demands are simple: Target must call for an end to the ICE surge, affirm their rights as a 4th amendment workplace, publicly call to shut down ICE, and demand that any federal officer who kills or harms a civilian be held legally accountable.

Last week, nearly 100 Troublemakers showed up at Northgate Target and demanded that Target stand up to ICE!

If Target doesnโ€™t stand up for its shoppers and staff, weโ€™ll be back! โœŠ๐ŸฟโœŠ๐ŸผโœŠ๐Ÿพ

In a nation filled with hideous assaults on all that is good and beautiful in this world, this is perhaps the best symbol of all of it.

They want to take the STARS from us.

Like what Musk did to USAID, and want him to do it to the night sky?

Then donโ€™t do this comment processโ€”which is, in truth, a little kludgyโ€ฆbut unbelievably important if you value leaving anything at all in this world un-devastated.

Hey Washington state! Yes, it's me. That annoying guy who keeps telling you to email your legislators AGAIN about the data center regulation bill. Guess what you need to do now? That's right, send another email! Before Tuesday at 130 ๐Ÿ™ @troublemakers.bsky.social actionnetwork.org/letters/wash...

This is an absolute abomination.

The comment process is a little kludgy, but the link below is a great guide. It took me under a half hour to respond to both (hideous) proposals.

There people on the left and right who will tell you this is only an issue for elites. Those people are insane. The obscenely unequal power of the rich is what caused this emergency. Iโ€™ll never cede โ€œpreventing mass deathโ€ as a cause of the mass left.

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own handsโ€”and tearing them down.

Tesla made suppliers tool up for 120k units/year of this turd, it sold a third of that in year one, and then sales fell by 50% in year two.

Biggest flop in modern automotive history, and it isn't close.
