How OpenAI caved to the Pentagon on AI surveillance The law doesn’t say what Sam Altman claims it does.

NEW: On Friday night when OpenAI announced its Pentagon deal, people immediately challenged Sam Altman's claims. Why, they asked, would the DoD suddenly agree to red lines when it had clearly said it would never budge?

The answer, sources told me, is that it didn't.

So while the newspapers are reporting that @anthropic.com is being strong-armed by Hegseth & the DOD, the other side of the story has yet to be told that almost every leading AI researcher & AI org in the world will no longer trust this company if they go back on their promises around safety.

Nearly 1000 people in the room raised their hands in commitment that they would be signing on a statement to this fact, representing many if not most of the AI PhD programs & R&D labs in the world if @anthropic.com goes back on their promises to maintain human safety, red lines and safeguards.

Gathering at UNESCO with 1200 global safety & ethics leaders to discuss the intl AI safety report & all research, this @anthropic.com choice was the top conversation from the stage. The world will leave Claude if this AI capitulates and keeps removing safety red lines designed to protect humans.

The global AI safety & ethics community is making a statement today that will put that choice in stark comparison, recognizing that @anthropic.com can move HQ to a new country & maintain most of their 🌍 clients if they are willing to maintain their safety commitments. Countries would welcome it.

@anthropic.com has a choice to make - safety is vital to the world now. If they capitulate to US DOooooDs they lose the world’s trust & they lose up to 90% of their business worldwide as everyone is fleeing their products & integrations in their R&D. They were the “ethical” choice but now, no.

Wrapping up a few days at the international Association for safe and ethical AI and the running theme was the lack of trust the loss of trust that has happened between the rest of the world and the US, especially US companies and especially AI companies.

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it.

When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

Colbert Says CBS Pulled Guest Amid FCC Scrutiny, Posts Interview on YouTube Instead Stephen Colbert explained on Monday night’s Late Show that CBS lawyers told him “in no uncertain terms” that he could not have James Talarico, a Democratic Texas state representative currently running...

David Ellison's CBS forced Stephen Colbert to cancel an interview with James Talarico tonight, in response to Brendan Carr's anti-free speech thuggery — and Colbert called it out live on air. This continues to be one of the most important storylines in America. latenighter.com/news/late-sh...

We all know Pam Bondi is full of shit about literally everything, but I’m revisiting this because people need to understand the real Culver City.

And Pam Bondi needs to keep all of Los Angeles out of her mouth.

The U.S. Is Launching a Regulatory Assault on Drone Users New restrictions try to shield ICE from being watched from above.

I wrote about MAGA’s war against normal American drone users - and how they’re trying to take control of the skies for themselves.

Feel like it's time to revisit some of the nightmarish movies that tried to prepare us for these fiends and assholes, starting with Kubrick thru Boots Riley with a side of Coogler, Peele and Lynch

When you start reading deeply into these connected stories, memories of 80s-90s culture hell comes back to haunt us: mall shops, photo companies, modeling agencies, musicians, opportunities for young people were ALL OWNED by horrific gross & violent fiends who are STILL OUT THERE making money on it

From a friend:

NEW: “CBS Evening News” producer Alicia Hastey sends a bombshell farewell note:

Stories are “evaluated not just on their journalistic merit but on whether they conform to a shifting set of ideological expectations.”

Gallup and its chair, Jim Clifton, have long postured as non-partisan, but this move is a distinctly partisan in this environment.

Like so many other institutions, Gallup is destroying brand integrity in the service of fascism.

A group of men who regularly rape children decided to ruin the public's perception of trans people in this country for shits and giggles and every time I think about that my heart clenches into a blood-red fist of rage.

And I can't stop thinking about it.

Jayapal: To the survivors in the room, if you are willing, please stand. And if you are willing, please raise your hands. If you have still not been able to meet with this DOJ. Please note for the record that every single survivor has raised their hand.

If you saw the Guthrie story on CNN yesterday, they're using news stories to solidify their position as a surveillance state toolkit by gaining positive goodwill: finding dogs to lost moms

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Ring used the Super Bowl to launch “Search Party,” an AI feature that turns neighborhood cameras into a network to find a lost dog.

This isn’t about lost dogs. It’s about normalizing automated neighborhood surveillance.
