Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X

I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together.
This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

This neatly encapsulates The Dipshit Paradox:

Any ignorance creating sufficiently damaging effects will become indistinguishable from malice. Any sufficiently damaging malice will be abetted by ignorance. We must never exonerate malice simply because it can easily be explained by stupidity.

I would argue they knew exactly what they were doing, which was deliberately sabotaging needed public works programs by offering snake oil they never had any intention of delivering.

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

This is serious and sacred stuff. This isn’t partisan or even political. He is out of his mind, he is irrational, he is vengeful and splenetic and delirious, and he controls the most destructive power assembled in human history β€” which, critically, he has successfully mechanized into *war* currently

Russia Providing Iran Intelligence to Target U.S. Forces Earlier today, The Washington Post reported that Russia is providing Iran with targeting intelligence to strike and kill U.S.

My latest on Russia assisting Iran in targeting U.S. troops and interests.

And a reminder on how Russia did this before in Afghanistan, when they offered bounties to Taliban militants to kill Americans.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

there's a thing I like to call "load-bearing assumptions", that you don't notice until they're suddenly gone (e.g the air you breath has oxygen in it).

the post-ww2 order is a load-bearing assumption for basically the entirety of american life. trump took a sledgehammer to it in the last 90 days.

The fact his campaign manager is not sending him there suggests to me one of two explanations:
1. They do not think he could adequately reassure Jews of his lack of antisemitism.
2. They think his base would see even speaking to Jews in a shul as inherently disqualifying, or at least as a negative.

Sure, there are a lot fewer Jews in NYC than in Maine, but that one cuts both ways: It would actually be easier to speak to a large percentage of the Jews in Maine just by going to one of the shuls in Portland.

If you truly believed Graham Platner is not antisemitic at all, you would be sending him to synagogues in Maine to speak to Jews and reassure them of that. That is what Mamdani did during the NYC mayoral election. The fact they are not doing that is... telling.

NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.

Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves β€” conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges β€” are a farce.

The rapid expansion of American-owned data centres in the Middle East has opened up a new front for Iran’s retaliation against the US, complicating Gulf ambitions to build multibillion-dollar AI facilities in the region.

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities β€” prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.

Fars News Agency, an outlet affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said on Thursday that Iran targeted Amazon and Microsoft facilities in recent drone strikes.

Experts say Amazon’s facilities were likely targeted by Iran. Microsoft said it had not experienced any outages in the region.

Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany RodrΓ­guez was detained by ICE in South Nashville on Wednesday morning. There was no warrant for her arrest. Her attorneys have filed an emergency petition in federal court seeking a writ of habeas corpus, or an immediate review of whether or not her detention is legal. 

RodrΓ­guez, who was in the car with her husband β€” a U.S. citizen β€” has been following all the legal steps to citizenship. In her job, RodrΓ­guez has reported several stories that hold ICE accountable, and it’s unclear whether her detention was retaliation. As of Thursday afternoon, she was in Alabama en route to an ICE processing center in Louisiana.

"This woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump discussed blackmail, and days later he suicided in prison.

And after that, the FBI wanted to focus on Trump because, well, Epstein wasn’t around to be prosecuted anymore.

Then, years later, DOJ attempted to withhold documents recording all that."
