Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
This dystopian future is here now.
"Emily, who NPR is only identifying by her first name because she fears retribution from the federal government, says she followed an ICE vehicle at a safe distance into a parking lot.

This is gold.
This is why I love “The Checklist Manifesto” by Atul Gawande so much. Big gap between knowing/planning and execution in every area of life and management. My one meaningful innovation/impact at HBS was to expose the entire first year MBA cohort to this set of ideas.
Ahhh so this is just straightforward fraud by the WSJ, not disclosing their commercial relationship with Polymarket while covering it as a news subject.
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
Good thing I hadn’t seen this when we drove around to do cognitive testing on the Census MOPS survey!
Those, stories, of course, are confidential and protected by Federal Statute.
(Too bad. Some were hilarious!)
If you took $1 billion and gave it to the endowment of a different small college each day, they could each provide a free college education to several hundred students per year in perpetuity. Instead we are using that money to bomb schools and kill students in Iran, for no clearly stated purpose.
small white dog with giant puff ball head
the dog looked at me!
this dog sat across from me in the train and the whole ride I tried to get him to look at me. he finally did after 1.5 hr
Newly-Shorn and Resenting-It Labradoodle
My dog was so overgrown and floofy (too cold in Toronto for haircuts), but it was cute and I almost told the groomer “can you keep the hair on his head long?” I very-nearly had that instead of this
morbidly curious about which wars of the past were "politically correct"
This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.
The post was “JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY. 🇺🇸 🔥”
Remember when Rep. Greg Gianforte, now the GOP governor of the state, body slammed a reporter into a table?
We probably need to shut down the Montana Republican Party entirely until we can figure out where all this violent rage is coming from.
Ah a stolen valor guy. Yeah that fits.
“Sheehy’s military colleagues reportedly do not recall him mentioning a gunshot wound or seeing such an injury at the time of his active service.”
Explicitly capitalist media again shares a new piece that Long COVID is concerning, has no cure and again, embarrassingly, is doing better public health comms about this than most public health orgs. www.forbes.com/sites/omeraw...
The robot kept shouting that it was looking for Sarah Connor.
So I hear.
Mystery Solved! Turns out it is "Webinar.tv" whose disgusting and unethical business model is: register for a zoom call under a fake name and email address, record it without consent and put it on a public website with genAI summary and everyone's names and faces and then charge for access. WTAF.
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
NEW at SCOTUS: the court votes 6-3 to block a California law preventing public schools from outing gender-questioning students to their parents.
A lot of people are looking at this as insider trading but it's an even bigger issue for national security if there was advance warning of air strikes.
I am hopeful that the war in Iran will bring needed democratic change to … the United States of America.
This is Gus. He really likes helping bring in the groceries. Makes him feel super strong and super proud of himself. 13/10 we're proud of you too, Gus (TT: angieee677)
The Founders were so concerned about bribery that the Constitution forbids it three separate times (the two emoluments clauses and as the only name impeachable offense besides treason).
Exactly for this reason. A US president pocketing funds from foreign govts leads to actions against US interests.
JD Vance: "We're announcing today that we have decided to temporarily halt certain amounts of Medicaid funding that is going to the state of Minnesota in order to ensure that the state of Minnesota takes its obligations seriously to be good stewards of the American people's tax money."
A MOTHER JONES SCOOP! New details from Epstein files reveal Lutnick had a years-long business tie with the sex offender. This challenges his claim he had minimal contact with Epstein. The two were involved in a deal for six years, and an email shows they discussed it. @nlanard.bsky.social
Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model.
This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine.
