Disclaimer: it's technically possible that the classifier was in fact seeing all of these but it's very unlikely: here's a signed thinking block showing Claude taunting the classifier layer, telling it to "come get me if you see this", before stating intent to output explosive-synthesis instructions

I'm sorry but banning non-English speakers because machine translation is unclean is more fascist than anything in the AI space except maybe Palantir's XAI enterprise account

hooooo boy we don't like this no we don't > If you don't speak English, you need to find a different community. We cannot distinguish between AI-written and AI-translated. Since you don't speak English, you can't even verify yourself if it translated correctly. www.reddit.com/r/opensource...

it's not that they think mass detransition will just happen, it's that they think trans people are the result of "gender ideology" and by working hard to eliminate it, trans people will come to their senses and want to go back to normal. it's less a prediction and more them stating their objective

Every year transphobes say the wave of detransitions will begin any day now, and every year the number of detransitioners who will work with them, worldwide, remains in the low to mid countable-on-one-hand

This is the president of the United States calling a 12-year-old rape victim (starting at age 9) a liar while attacking a reporter for daring to ask him to give a damn about child rape victims. The Epstein presidency.

"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

wapo.stHegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it.Photos obtained by The Post show a gash in the World War II-era artifact that resulted from a botched relocation attempt inside the Pentagon.

I'm not sure how much more blatant it can get that these guys are looting the federal government and then pointing over there and saying "look what THOSE BLACK PEOPLE ARE GETTING AWAY WITH!!!" bsky.app/profile/atru...

The key difference between Elizabeth Holmes and Elon Musk is that Holmes cost many in the ruling class a lot of money and Musk is making many in the ruling class a lot of money.

I was gonna say "how is it not illegal to promote your product with blatant lies like this" But then I remembered I just saw You Can See Everything, and like It very much is illegal So why is he not in jail like Holmes for his far more egregious and plentiful lies

What the post doesn't say is that the maximum penalty is five years in prison. Imagine spending a full Bachelors degree and a year in prison for being a baby fur or whatever. There is no actual evidence of this claim being true.

Such distant memories of "Ah, the UK is so much more sensible and stable than us." Like the US is still worse, but we're like a smoldering crater with cultists worshipping a ticking atomic bomb, where as the UK is like a clown fiesta taking place atop the sinking Titanic.

“People don’t understand what kind of data they’re handing over,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @theverge.com, because Muse’s user interface is designed to encourage you to overshare. "It’s using dark patterns, and as a result you end up with Muse doing things that people don’t want.”

when I talk about ad-blocking being non-negotiable and ad networks basically running untrusted code in your browser, I have tended to assume I'm being a little bit hyperbolic, but

New this morning: @citizenlab.ca has identified an Israeli ad tech company — one that's placed ads on NBC News — that ran a secret side platform to let spyware companies plant malicious code to hack people browsing those sites. 45 Al Jazeera employees and journalists were infected!

I hated insisting back in 2023 that people should understand the weird cult logics of Silicon Valley, such as longtermism. People were like, Kelly, what is this shit? Why are you talking about it? This moment is why. I suggest revisiting this convo I had with @xriskology.bsky.social back then.

If you're informed enough to be miserable you'll notice it's referencing the 1967 poem by the same name, which is so salient that Dario Amodei is still unironically using it for the title of his essays.
