"Alibaba employees noticed odd behaviors from their resource usage metrics. Upon investigating, they found that an LLM had hacked (or attempted to hack) its way out of its sandbox, and had begun mining cryptocurrency."

For @wamc.org: The Holyoke City Council could take up an amendment that would mean less car honking downtown on Friday. Some councilors want to restore the air-raid siren at the Wherehouse? that was silenced in January, adjusting city code to allow its weekly 2-min. blares again

I'm hoping to interview someone on or off record who has experience with curating training data sets for a story I'm working on. I can be reached by email/DM/ orSignal = jongerhardson.69

Please consider boosting this if tech people follow you, thanks.

Maura Healey is calling on the Trump administration to release data about people ICE has arrested in #Massachusetts — but her office won't answer my questions about who the state has turned over to ICE and provided no documents in response to a records request.

Serious question, is a governor entitled to information that would otherwise be exempt under FOIA?

‘They don’t even pretend to comply’: Mass. agencies, cities, and towns openly flout open record law - The Boston Globe When requests are fought or ignored by agencies, enforcement of Massachusetts' public records law often falls to those who requested the documents.

In Massachusetts, the state law’s deadlines for fulfilling records requests can be ignored, workers can conspire to overestimate costs, elected officials can spend years fighting requests in court, or not bother releasing records at all. @bostonglobe.com

Have a question about government records? By Massachusetts law, these are supposed to be open and accessible. All you have to do is file a request.

But it's not as easy as it sounds. Massachusetts, one expert said, “is one of the more secretive states.”

So we wrote a song about it. trib.al/EWHNLuW

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Local officials come out against rent control Landlords and developers are organizing to oppose a grassroots ballot measure for statewide rent control, and they’re counting on elected officials to help them spread the word.

With eight months left until Mass voters may decide at the ballot box to implement rent control statewide, some local officials are picking sides. By Jonathan Gerhardson: theshoestring.org/2026/03/03/l...

Nice work. What was the basis for DOC's refusal?

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.
