'AI Is African Intelligence': The Workers Who Train AI Are Fighting Back
Kenyan workers are still the underpaid labor behind AI training, moderation, and sex chatbots. The Data Labelers Association is fighting back.
I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out:

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power
Theyβre saying the quiet part out loud now.
βThis technology disrupts humanities-trainedβlargely Democraticβvoters, and makes their economic power less. And increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working-class, often male, working-class voters.β

Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. βI guess,β he says. βBut I think theyβre worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trumpβs White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said.
The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.'
'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues.
The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence.
The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'.
Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released.
Top Trump officials ordered it placed on βholdβ. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.

Commands around the world, including U.S. Central Command in the Middle East, use Anthropicβs Claude AI tool, people familiar with the matter confirmed. Centcom declined to comment about specific systems being used in its ongoing operation against Iran.
The command uses the tool for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios even as tension between the company and Pentagon ratcheted up, the people said, highlighting how embedded the AI tools are in military operations.
The WSJ is reporting that AI, specifically Claude, was used in targeting for the attacks by the Epstein Empire.
That would mean the use of AI led directly to the massacre of 115 schoolchildren and 20 volleyball players.

Dalton Young, who didn't play last night, is responsible for both Philly goals, fresh legs. Byrne is the Swarm's sole scorer, nifty jab step for a dive and shortside tuck. He's too young and energetic to be tired from a doubleheader. Ah, to be young again.

Goalie Splits β TyMer Lacrosse
This isnβt about Rylan Hartley, although βgoalie splitsβ does bring him to mind.
In the offseason, I added splits to my normal NLL stats & then built another doc focused on goalies & how well/poorly they do at all shift types.
Then I never really talked about it. Until now. Whoops. Let's look at 3 NLL starters using these stats.
