According to the criminal complaint, the man accused of setting the flames used ChatGPT while calling 911 to ask if you’re at fault if you set a fire with your lit cigarette.

This was the plan. Enclose information access into the oracle prompt, flood the rest of the internet with shit, own the only remaining means of accessing information. jon-e.net/surveillance...

ICE has been arresting asylum-seekers in San Francisco for months now—targeting immigration court & sending people to far-flung detention centers. It's a constant stream of news. Readers often tune out. So here's a timeline recapping the most significant events so far.

Appreciate the framing of caution, but having seen vibe coded analysis routines the publication pressures that create them, this is candy flavored poison. The cited paper demonstrates the value of human labor in the training set, and required expert intervention in simply loading 8/12 datasets

ryan, i and @thefreeradical.org were working on getting through this release years ago, but its massive, hard to search and very taxing with how horrid the contents are and we just didnt have enough eyes or hands to get through it.

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

I got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business

Fuck a scab union president. AFT needs to clean house, this is embarrassing to the whole damn labor movement

ICE is fighting (and losing) a classic low-grade insurgency in LA. The administration has to appear strong. The people do not.

ICE and DHS cannot move around Los Angeles undetected. Their every move is transparent from the hotels where they sleep to their morning briefings to their 3-vehicle convoys entering neighborhoods. An entire megacity of 13 million people has awoken against them. They're slow and clumsy.

This public spectacle is meant to be a "shock and awe" campaign, as if a few thousand soldiers can subdue the 2nd largest city in the US. It took them millions of dollars and three weeks to plan this, all for the equivalent of a military parade to satisfy one man's ego. They're desperate.

Anyone concerned that America will quietly succumb to fascism should look at what's happening in LA. This whole thread is wonderful If the United States decides to declare war on its own people, so be it. They can't defeat an insurgency overseas and they can't defeat one here

ICE fucked up! They went to Flatbush to get Haitians and guess what? They got outnumbered! Haitians ran them out of town! They are lucky they got the fuck out without injury. You come into Flatbush, Brooklyn and did not expect a fight? Hell no! Stay the fuck out of Brooklyn assholes. #AbolishICE

Yep: sciop.net has got torrents of all the reports from globalchange.gov and a website rip, and we're continuously working on the primary data as well: sciop.net/datasets/glo... No government hosted repository can be trusted rn, but you can seed torrents so we don't need to.

With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

ICYMI: Three animal groups have vision sharp enough to detect objects—vertebrates, arthropods and cephalopods—but only the first two have been studied. A lab in Oregon is changing that. By @callimcflurry.bsky.social #neuroethology www.thetransmitter.org/vision/cepha...

The masked agents pull up quickly. They jump out of unmarked vans. They wear blue jeans or battle fatigues. They approach Latinos, yelling and carrying assault rifles. If someone runs, they’re taken. If they don’t answer a question, they’re taken. If they can’t produce papers, they’re taken.

Dear FBI, can you fact check some stuff I heard a guy say

Agreed that scale is not a good goal in itself and that "bubble" isn't a useful term, but I think engaging with the inherent contradiction in "bsky is all about choice" and "most people don't know about or want to engage with that choice" would probably be a good idea

If you're trying to fake a code, have the decency to post a bunch of hexadecimal gibberish like you have at least heard of cryptography!

Mansplaining signal's development plans to signal's president, but also making specific, easily disproven claims about development that supposedly has already been done in an open source project... it's the make shit up Olympics over here

LAPD shot my finger with a rubber bullet, I was wearing motorcycle gloves with padding but no armor in the fingers. Just got out of seeing an orthopedist, the bone is badly fractured and I very nearly had to have the tip amputated. Please add padded or armored gloves to your safety gear.

I got shot by these exact line of bastards today too. I could hear them saying "is he gonna do it, is he?" And then as soon as i stepped into the street they said "there he goes" and shot 3 rounds around my legs. They absolutely were having "fun" picking targets

I think it's worth mentioning how totally the mood switched the INSTANT the cops weren't around When people weren't scared of getting gassed to shit When the whole city started cheering Cops make protests more violent. Every time

To the absolute legend who sent me a Venmo to pass off to Sean, thank you! It’s been shuffled along. If you wanna support Sean’s reporting, send him a venmo at ACatWithNews. He’s been working nonstop since yesterday and could use a boost

Los Angeles Stands up to ICE crimethinc.com/LosAngelesJu... In this report, participants in the clashes of June 6 describe how people came together to defend their community from federal agents. This details the response to the initial raids, the standoff at the detention center, and more.

An American citizen and Los Angeles native, @seiucalifornia @seiuusww President David Huerta was injured and detained when ICE terrorized a working neighborhood. We demand his immediate release!

BREAKING The President of California’s largest union has been detained during an ICE raid.

When someone describes labor and class consciousness as a "high horse" and fully embraces serfdom, they've said all they need to for you to know to never trust them with anything meaningful ever again.

On top of all this, the CSU didn't disclose how much ChatGPT Edu cost us. My colleague Adam Swenson had to file a public records request for the subscription contract, and it turns out we're paying $16.9 million for 18 months of service. drive.google.com/file/d/1EpYZ...

Ebikes are not only the most fun vehicle to ever be invented and the most energy and resource efficient way of getting around a city, they are *also* the best means of getting around a city without being subject to internal and external telematics and surveilance technology.
