Many Washington Post readers have been notified via email that their subscription rates are set to increase. Nestled at the bottom of these emails, you’ll find an asterisk and the following: “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data.”
In just 10 days, more than 800,000 people in Lebanon have been displaced by an Israeli military offensive, just over a year since the last conflict uprooted over a million Lebanese from their homes. That’s one in every seven people in the tiny country.
I continue to insist that the great scandal of AI is the one nobody talks about
all these outsourced workers in the global south who don't get any of the participation in the success of the companies, but have to eat shit doing these essential data labeling tasks
Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."
“Rights advocates said they were alarmed by the proposal, which they saw as part of a drive by the administration to place homeless people in institutional settings against their will.”
We at @mlexguild.bsky.social and @law360union.bsky.social made the same demand of our employer, LexisNexis. Stand with us bsky.app/profile/nygu...
Everyone's data, from every industry, is everywhere. Including with ICE. There was time and Congress had so many opportunities to prevent this kind of shit. As usual, monetary interests prevailed over people's interest and rights. It makes me so mad because not preventing this crap was a choice.
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”
We'll all be better off the sooner he's out of politics. The man is a moron.
A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime
I need you to know that Israel has violated the ceasefire with Lebanon 15,400 times since it was struck in Nov 2024.
That is 31 times EVERY DAY on average.
This barely gets reported by western media. Why do you think that is? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

84% of the time, “ChatGPT Health” killed a customer using their paid service as advertised
So we just live in a Black Mirror episode now huh
Noooo. Leave Cuba alone, jfc!
I'm not surprised by this news, but I am sad for what Israel's retaliation will mean for the Lebanese people.
I worked in beautiful Beirut for a short time about 20 years ago, leaving right before war broke out. That city is always rebuilding.
world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
“But Anthropic has concerns over two issues: AI-controlled weapons and mass domestic surveillance of American citizens… Anthropic believes AI is not reliable enough to operate weapons, and there are no laws or regulations yet that cover how AI could be used in mass surveillance.”
LLMs are a weapon. And not only a weapon; an unpredictable weapon, which is why it is coveted - its proponents wants to use it not only because of potential speed and scope, but because it helps avoid accountability if the LLM makes the wrong decisions.

@sorayachemaly.bsky.social strikes again:
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
