You know that scene in Love Actually where Hugh Grant tells off the rapey US President (Thornton)? That's the kind of energy Starmer needs to bring if he wants to keep his job, strengthen NATO and transatlantic relations, and summon the Article I angels. Treat Asset Orange like the puppet he is.

Rep. Thomas Massie & US people want Epstein file transparency. AIPAC is trying to destroy Massie & run cover for Epstein/Maxwell, Wexner, l'Orange, et al. Massie's interview: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cuwj... Some demographic math & rough estimates for context.

A month ago, Italian researchers found that *poetic* prompts made AI chatbots (aka digi-trolls) cough up their darkest, most dangerous secrets. Now Mrinank Sharma, an Oxford PhD AI safety researcher, resigns Anthropic in protest to become a poet of "courageous speech" in and for a "world in peril".

The links between Epstein, Israeli intelligence, and pro-Israel politicians, as they continue to be unearthed, will do enormous damage to the indispensible US-Israel friendship. To begin to repair that friendship, Israel needs to clean house. Throw out the festering yeast of Netanyahu's corruption.

If such a law is ever passed, then the plaque on the Statue of Liberty should simultaneously be moved to Canada, because they will honor it. The US, it seems, no longer does, or can, and that is the greatest tragedy of all.

Part of this comes from knowing the stories of Latino (Mexican-born) friends who self-deported from California to Canada. They are *enormously* thankful they did, because they are safe, welcomed, and have a high quality of life.

The U.S. has to be a nation of laws *and* we have to diffuse the toxic culture of scapegoating and villification.

This idea might not be popular with my followers, but I'd propose a bipartisan de-escalation of 40-50 days to 1) pause ICE/CBP deportations (except for violent criminals) and 2) grant temporary amnesty for peaceful, dignified, humane, church-assisted self-deportation of undocumented persons.

β€œHe’s killing us in the streets and we still have to pay our taxes in April” is an incredibly compelling point.

I think this also points to the need for open, transparent submission and peer-review. Research subjects should be anonymized. Trustworthy researchers should be and act as public figures. Blind peer review is increasingly providing cover for massive academic AI malfeasance.

Absolutely insane that Federal agents are spraying Americans en masse with carcinogens, at the same time Republicans are making healthcare impossible to afford. They are a cancer on the nation.

Column | I let ChatGPT analyze a decade of my Apple Watch data. Then I called my doctor. I gave the new ChatGPT Health access to 29 million steps and 6 million heartbeat measurements. It drew questionable conclusions that changed each time I asked.

β€œβ€¦when it comes to your fitness tracker and some health records, the new Dr. ChatGPT seems to be winging it. That fits a disturbing trend: AI companies launching products that are broken, fail to deliver or are even dangerous.”

We are opening an investigation into Grok because we believe that X may have breached the DSA.

We have seen antisemitic content, non-consensual deepfakes of women, and child sexual abuse material.

In Europe, no company will make money by violating our fundamental rights.

A lot of truth in that. Also true that "white", "black", and other labels have no basis in biology (genotype or phenotype) and are arbitrary socio-cultural constructs. If we seek human equality and dignity, let's deconstruct race completely.

A little bit of self-reported, supplemental metadata would be enough to aggregate metrics and identify bad actors. #issn0000-0000 #evaluatororcid0000-0000-0000-0000 #reviewerorcid0000-0000-0000-0000

Librarians used to rely heavily on Beaill's List to identify predatory journals, before publishers threatened defamation lawsuits. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beall's... ... Rather than a single brave librarian-curated list, what about a crowd-sourced list or even hashtag such as #AIslopreview?

Most X metrics are bot bull$hit anyway, designed to make Elon and his fellow hair-plug, incel bros feel popular.

Share the memo with the Obamas. They are the draw, because they are trusted and beloved. Musk has broken faith with the US people and Constitution.

Freudian slip: Madel's closed caption reads "ISIS" when he said "ICE". I won't put an ISIS execution picture side by side with a freeze frame of the execution of Alex Pretti. But consider the numerous disgusting and disturbing similarities. Masks must come off, and ID badges and body-cams on.

A small but significant way that President and Mrs. Obama could bear witness in this moment would be to leave Musk's KKK/Nazi-supporting platform and migrate entirely to Bluesky. We the People are looking for Digital Moseses to lead us out of places of oppression.

France announced today it’s phasing out Teams, Zoom, etc. to be replaced with a French/European solution called Visio. The data is hosted on Outscale. Transcripts and subtitles are also handled by French providers. The target is set on 2027 for government agencies.

Qs for @emilymbender.bsky.social, @abeba.bsky.social et al. LLM bot prompts all begin with "You are" ... [a helpful assistant | a curious student | etc], do they not? Doesn't this encode deceptive anthropomorphic role play as default? Is there any pratical or experimental alternative to this?
