EVERYTHING you have ever asked about or shared with OpenAI is going to intel database. Our government will know everything there is to about everything you asked or have offered to ChatGPT

Bellingcat's Discord community is gathering information related to this morning's attack on Iran and the aftermath here: discord.com/channels/709... (Join link for new users here: discord.com/invite/belli...)

We have no allies (not that they can help much w/ this kind of operation), no political coalition (even GWB invested in that), massively degraded US state capacity (including intel, diplomacy, & counterterrorism), and what can be charitably described as the club team running key arms of US govt. 7/

It is sickening to think about what might happen next. Thinking of the people in the path of this folly, and of the people of Ukraine, who could have really used those munitions in year 5 of their brave resistance to Russian aggression. 9/9

War of Lies 2.0 🇺🇲 Epstein Wars Trump on attacking Iran: We will raze their missile industry to the ground. They will never have a nuclear weapon IMPEACH FELON TRUMP NOW! 🍑

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

I have said in the past that America is too powerful to fail as a democracy and now here we are. This is the moment. Trump must be stopped or the whole world goes to hell.

In the past, sometimes presidents have said it’s just a military operation or limited airstrikes to skirt Congress. Trump has unilaterally launched major combat operations, declaring war with the goal of regime change. A major violation of the U.S. Constitution, also illegal under international law

I hope every politician with a moral spine in Congress has been awake all fucking night wondering why they didn't act more aggressively against this happening.

Morning everyone, here’s my embroidery, The Lady of Spring for you today, changing the season as she passes… This piece was freehand stitched in January 2021 so it’s a throwback, but don’t worry something new is in progress… 😉🧵❄️🌱🌷🌸 #stitchedart #thesewingsongbird

God no don't put the UK in the line of fire of this madness.

No congress, no constitution, and a king. What a way to celebrate 250 years.

The crazy fucker did it! This is not good! Live updates: Trump announces 'major combat operations' in Iran apnews.com/live/live-up...

Angry walked at 2 AM and the moon was witness to my rage. Democracy is literally dying in darkness tonight.

We've entered the stage of the news cycle where the clear initial information has been reported, fresh reporting is hours or days away, and the gap in between is full of talking heads either constantly re-stating the bleeding obvious and/or speculating wildly based on nothing.

That aged well.

‼️ Iran launches missile attack on Israel

Israel and Iran under attack. A US 5th fleet base in Bahrain “targeted by missiles”. Reports of bombing in UAE as well. Looks like the video from Senator Mark Kelly etc hasn’t persuaded enough military to not obey illegal orders

As the US and Israel illegally bomb Iran, American warplanes have been transiting through UK military bases en route to the Middle East. www.declassifieduk.org/campaigners-...

“Oh if only they had done these four steps better” get a grip. there’s no better way to do something plainly bad.

My unsolicited advice to big foreign policy mooseheads who’re going to be in the big outlets is to emphasize illegitimacy, not procedure. I realize I’m just one hysterical woman dry heaving at 4am and not a former ambassador but if you don’t reject the premise of bad acts, you risk normalizing them

It is hard to have hope in this moment but hope is what drives us to act - and acting is what leads to change - and change is what we must fight for every day until all the filthly monsters murdering innocent people en masse are dragged out of OUR government and convicted of their heinous crimes.

for those fixated on congressional authorization, i get it. this is a massive violation of our constitutional order. even so, congress *cannot* legitimize an illegal war. there is nothing congress can do to make it legal under int'l law.

People need to understand that one of the reasons they struck today, rather than next week, is bc the House is planning on a vote early next week. Trump had to shift dynamics of that vote.

Interesting consequences of America trying to bully the world into using our AI while we have a brutal dictator in charge - and those consequences may be a good thing in the long run. (We'll see.)

As a diuretic, coffee may dehydrate you if you have too much. Coffee has water and that's good - but drinking water with nothing else in it IS the best way to hydrate adequately, regardless of whether or not you drink coffee. Little wins, healthier body, better day. My fave is iced cooold water. ~~

What fresh hell have we thus wrought? Children scream as they burn in any language. These brutal acts are on our heads and they should rip our hearts open and make them bleed.

This, then, is the state of play as Russia's expanded invasion reaches into its fifth year. Ukraine stands largely independent, largely sovereign, and, perhaps for the first time ever, as the most powerful military on the European continent. 1/2

The government wants to Huawei any company that pursues a radical woke ideology like "no domestic mass surveillance" except it has no legal basis to do so and its rules for compliance are gobbledygook www.wired.com/story/anthro...

Fun times.

I want Anthropic to survive long enough to be destroyed by paying out billions to the artists and writers it stole from.

Presumably this'll get tied up in court, and we'll see where it goes. But the scary potential precedent is that any company that wants to place any limits on the use of its stuff by the military can be wrecked, individually, by the executive branch.

Like you can think whatever you want about LLMs and all the crazy hype, but this is a brave stand being taken, and yet another mad escalation by this presidency.

The government insists that they get to use Anthropic's software for any purpose they consider legal. Anthropic says no. Negotiations go nowhere. Now the administration is designating them a supply chain risk--something normally reserved for corporations of foreign adversaries.

For those who haven't been following along, a fight started between Anthropic (a frontier AI firm, often considered to have the best coding AI) and the government, after Anthropic found its tools had been sued in the Maduro raid, which included use of lethal force.

NEW: Georgia removed nearly 471,000 voters from its rolls last summer — roughly 6% of all the state’s registered voters. Now voting rights groups are suing, arguing the state is illegally hiding records about how the purge was carried out.

RIP Neil Sedaka, who was always extraordinarily kind when he’d visit the Today Show set. 💔 “My mother wanted me to be a classical pianist,” he said. “But I loved pop music. I loved melody. I loved the idea of three minutes that could change your life.” “Laughter in the Rain” (1974)

The SAVE Act taxes your vote through hidden costs. This taxation violates constitutional principles. Republicans know this. They proceed regardless. This would be the largest poll tax in American history. #SaveActTaxesYourVote
