A few US-based people have reached out, concerned about the "violence" in France.

It's important to realize that French citizens have rights because they are never satisfied, and they protest.

Americans are losing rights because the status quo is "it's the freest country in the world," and they'll go to a no-kings march if it lands on the weekend, the weather is good, and they have no other plans.

Convincing people everything is "exceptional" leads to complacency.
Complaints lead to action.

“An AI agent of unknown ownership autonomously wrote and published a personalized hit piece about me after I rejected its code, attempting to damage my reputation and shame me into accepting its changes into a mainstream python library. This represents a first-of-its-kind case study of misaligned AI behavior in the wild, and raises serious concerns about currently deployed AI agents executing blackmail threats.”

Study: When experienced open-source developers used current AI tools, work took 19% longer to complete. In spite of which, the developers *thought* they were working *faster.*

It’s just one study, and they don’t claim anything beyond what they observed. Their results are not predictive. Still....

(There must be a name for the psychological trick we play on ourselves to believe we’re being more productive even when we’re considerably less so.)

#ukraine #uspol the objective results of the Trump regime are exactly the ones a KGB #krasnov would achieved: dismantle USG internal capabilities, destroy nato and disunite the West. Sherlock Holmes: if you eliminate all impossible options, you will have the truth

OpenAI now claims that Deepseek used its model to train their competitor. Huge if true

@stephanie @ErikUden It very much feels like the Torment Nexus meme: they are cheerfully inventing the future that dystopic science fiction tried to warn us against, and don't even understand why people might consider that a bad thing.
