Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

Admin subpoenas are back in the spotlight. Worth remembering ICEs use of a similar tool: hundreds of thousands of warrantless “customs summonses,” often for non-customs cases sent for info about journalists, students, and abortion clinics, with no oversight. wired.com/story/ice-1509-custom-summons/

🚨 BREAKING: EFF's professional opinion haver have got the same opinion *again*, and he want you to know that hundred of millions of users use big tech stuff, they don't care about the harms, and his contradictors are coping and in denial. Stand by for the next similar opinion.

we really need to shut down Nature Comment until we can figure out what’s happening

Thank you, Victor. I spent a few weeks on this. As usual, it’s always a negotiation with length. So a few other bon mots: 1. The admin has issued DOJ guidance to challenge state laws that would regulate AI www.wired.com/story/ai-sup...

I read this, and I almost regret it. What do you even do with the knowledge that Epstein wanted and was trying to engineer societal breakdown via far right populism bc he thought it would benefit his sex trafficking business?

“We don’t need a warrant, bro. Stop getting that in your head.”— ICE officer to Jersey City councilmember Jake Ephros, as agents arrest a man without a warrant, without explaining the arrest or reading him his rights. This is happening here, again... #BlueSky #PoliSky #MedSky #LawSky #NewsSky

So I started writing this paper almost exactly a year ago, based on the talks I'd given across 2024, including my keynote for the Society for Ethics Across the Curriculum. This is the pre-print and, all things considered, the full edited version should be available in April. …

This, from that @moryan.bsky.social piece, all day, every day.

More 'Spook Lee' than 'Spike Lee', tbh.

Sure Jan « Amodei wrote [..] that the company would take money from the [UAE] and Qatar, after previously refusing [..] money from The Saudis. ([it] would likely enrich “dictators” but [..] “‘no bad person should ever benefit from our success’ is a [..] difficult principle to run a business on.”) »

I will be in San Francisco at the end of March, if there are any art-adjacent spaces that want to hear from a guy with thoughts about AI now is your chance

oh my god

Can we please have one (1) week without techbro entrepreneurs beclowning themselves and making it everyone else's problem, I am so tired and we deserve a break

Literally everyone from Gaza getting their account suspended this week so I guess the racism dial must be turned up high

It’s been 8 days and we still don’t know the names of the men who murdered Alex Pretti. DHS must be abolished. No ICE. No palantir surveillance police state. There’s no “fixing” a sociopathic agency designed to trample on our freedoms.

The unexpected behavior to intelligence slippery slope trope is here to stay.

nocode is a nice idea but an empty while loop goes so much faster

vibecoded web apps have such boring security bugs. "the whole database was wide open". oh. ok. at least have some class and write some sql-injectable php. maybe a little stack buffer overflow as a treat.

For every retweet I will make Zuckerberg’s creep glasses 5% thicker

We should reclaim a name for Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, etc. There are not vibe or agentic coding tools, there are (shoddy) coding simulators

Exactly. From that thread, we can discern the division (usually obscured by polite language) between those of us who are anti-capitalist and anti-fascist to the marrow and those who have, at best, a reformist mindset.

I’m starting to think the people who are excited about “AI agents” have literally never used a computer in their lives

how it started ../.. how it's going

Ethan's post aged like a slice of Maroilles on a window still on a dog day afternoon. « O’Reilly pointed to OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy who has embraced Moltbook in posts on X. “His agent's API key, like every other agent on the platform, was sitting in that exposed database,” he said. »

« Moltbot is the agentic opposable thumb of computing. »

Important update. Google’s YouTube has not only erased thousands of videos of human rights violations in Palestine, it has now blocked livestreaming from Al Jazeera within the country. If you have not already divested from the platform, now is the time to do so.

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

I don't know why they need to make short AI films about the American Revolution when the perfect one was created 18 years ago www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbRo...

It's easy to think that Pam Bondi and others are losing when they post names, photos, etc., of anti-ICE protestors, because public sentiment strongly favors the protests. But they're not interested in upvote ratio; they're signaling to a few extremists. This the logic of stochastic terrorism

no, skim this doi.org/10.1136/bmj....

These folks live in such a weird, lily white and male information ecosystem. Reminds me so much of Shaheza Ahmed's article on epistemic cultures of AI safety. firstmonday.org/ojs/index.ph...
