New from 404 Media: inside ICE's supercharged facial recognition app of 200 million images. After scanning someone's face, it can query DHS, CBP, FBI, State Department, and state databases at once. An unprecedented linking of government databases into a single tool.

La batalla frente al cambio climático es también una lucha de clases: los ultrarricos generan muchas más emisiones, y los más pobres sufren las peores consecuencias. Cada jet privado genera de media tantas emisiones al año como 177 coches, según el ICCT elpais.com/clima-y-medi...

Have truly lost patience with the New York Times’ editorial coverage of AI, which has basically degenerated into industry cheerleading.
They are completely misrepresenting what most academics believe about AGI.
I detail some blunders here:

I will say, we need to get ready to organize for pushback on this.
EO aren’t that binding, so legislation would need to pass for it to work.
If you aren’t already, get comfortable connecting with your representatives, because if Big Tech gains traction on this we need to move en masse to stop it.

Cómo vas a decirle “novio” al mae de 29 años pendiente de juicio por violación a una niña de 12 años y que engatuso a la de 16 para que se fuera con él, es un depredador no un “novio”!

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.
Sergey saying it requires overtime, for an unspecified duration, to achieve an undefined goal, is like saying “a perfect meal is achievable if everyone will just work over a stove set to 800 degrees”. Really? Is that so? It’s too obviously just demanding stolen labor and immiseration.

"The artists represented in this sale all have strong, existing multidisciplinary art practices, some recognized in leading museum collections," said a Christie's spokesperson. "The works in this auction are using artificial intelligence to enhance their bodies of work and in most cases, Al is being employed in a controlled manner, with data trained on the artists' own inputs." Says Christies
1/8 Fun update on that GenAi Christies show.
They lie quite a bit about their own show. Here’s a few:
Lie #1 Christies says work on the show comes from data which was trained on participants own inputs in this article below:

This just isn’t the case.
But...AGI is gonna bring utopia & AI will stop climate change!
"By looking at where power is being generated & the size of nearby populations, the researchers estimated the number of adverse health events that would likely be caused by AI-related air pollution."

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons:
-We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S.
-The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous.
🧵⬇️
This is a big deal, a judge has rejected the fair-use defense in the Reuters AI copyright suit.
The issue is ingestion and use of data in a way that doesn't pass two of the four fair use factors.
This case isn't gen AI, but it's notable because gen AI is even more egregious with data🧵
So are the DeepSeek people also longtermists? Or are they using this term because its the buzzword in AGI?
Thank you to the commenters on my talk on The TESCREAL bundle for pointing this out. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7XT...
Suppose the air conditioning in your car stopped working, and you brought the car into the shop, and the mechanic said, “I am afraid your car is broken, so I have started dismantling it”.
That, in a nutshell, is what Trump and Musk are doing to your country.
I need people to appreciate that the fact that one of the DOGE kiddies was asking for suggestions on an LLM to use for document format conversion, shows that they know less about programming than anyone who's ever booted Windows into safe mode to fix a problem
