Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

It's funny that JD Vance keeps bragging to people how Catholic he is and *multiple* popes keep telling him to shut the fuck up and fuck off

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"

No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

Exclusive | OpenAI Employees Raised Alarms About Canada Shooting Suspect Months Ago The ChatGPT maker opted against informing Canadian authorities about Jesse Van Rootselaar’s descriptions of violence last June.

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Raises huge questions about AI regulation in Canada. In what ways are AI companies monitoring conversations and what does this mean for privacy? In what cases are they obligated to contact law enforcement? Was the shooter underage at the time and should minors have unfettered access to chatbots? Etc

Months before Jesse Van Rootselaar became the suspect in the mass shooting that devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, OpenAI considered alerting law enforcement about her interactions with its ChatGPT chatbot, the company said. While using ChatGPT last June, Van Rootselaar described scenarios involving gun violence over the course of several days, according to people familiar with the matter. Her posts, flagged by an automated review system, alarmed employees at OpenAI. Internally, about a dozen staffers debated whether to take action on Van Rootselaar’s posts. Some employees interpreted Van Rootselaar’s writings as an indication of potential real-world violence, and urged leaders to alert Canadian law enforcement about her behavior, the people familiar with the matter said. OpenAI leaders ultimately decided not to contact authorities. A spokeswoman for OpenAI said the company banned Van Rootselaar’s account but determined that her activity didn’t meet the criteria for reporting to law enforcement, which would have required that it constituted a credible and imminent risk of serious physical harm to others.

Unforgivable.

They are in downtown St Paul at this very moment casing restaurants that close soon and the 3 hospitals.

Observer friend was followed home into downtown by 2 confirmed ICE plates this morning. Took her pic and drove away, didn't hide it.

This ain't over at all.

i feel like we really should have been prepared for chatgpt considering how often "get emotionally invested in a magical talking object that then prompts you to do evil" comes up in fiction and shit

Read this thread - absolutely cosigned, all of it.

One of my biggest complaints about how we teach the history of atrocity is that we call the people who commit them "monsters."

Their actions are monstrous - but the most important takeaway is that they were overwhelmingly /regular people/.

Community meme: I CAN EXCUSE FASCISM. BUTI DRAW THE LINE AT MERCANTILISM.

The Supreme Court:

Having All Your Laundry Done voted one of the best feelings of all time for the 100th year in a row. unfortunately Actually Doing Laundry voted one of the worst, yet again

In my six years of working tangential to law enforcement, I will tell you the united states postal inspector service is the only agency I respect. FBI is like "and then the bad guy spotted us because we drove to the wrong house" and USPIS is like "we identified them bc they bought a specific stamp"

There's three votes for anything on the supreme court. If trump said "I'm the god-king of arrakis" he'd get three votes and a lengthy opinion about the long history and tradition of english common law with regards to the spice melange

The Left Doesn't Hate Technology, We Hate Being Exploited Techno-cynics are all just wounded techno-optimists.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

Theyre transvestigating generative AI on twitter dot com (im the first person in my bloodline to utter such a sentence)

“Oooo candy.”

No, honey, no. Those are offerings for The Buddha.

“But…”

No, you can’t eat The Buddha’s candy.

“But *he’s* not eating it!”

He sort of is.

“You said he died and stopped existing and won’t be reborn. So…”

Buddha eats the spirit of the candy.

“Candy doesn’t have a soul, Daddy.”

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

Everyone who thinks that adopting a centrist position nearly identical to that of a Republican will reach a swing voter (which, Max is right, is the worldview of a certain generation of consultants who came up during the Clinton era) has not talked directly to any swing voters in the last decade
