Ol' Murph

😆 I may be a fool but yeah!

He’s soft

Sorry. You’ve been cancelled.

2/ More significant and chilling is how far you have to read down this Trump post to learn the individual was not extrajudicially killed inside the U.S. If they're this "army," what's the limiting principle for stopping that use of state lethal force?

Instead of discussing how Elon Musk is now the world's first trillionaire, we should talk about how he killed hundreds of thousands of people through his dismantling of food and medical aid to poor countries currentaffairs.org/news/how-elon-…

Keep fighting the fight!

No fan of Musk here! Or Zuck, or Bezos, or Gates, or Trump, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, or Pol Pot. Shit, it’s been a rough 100 years.

A short history of how we got here, because the chronology is the whole story. January: the Pentagon demands unrestricted use of Claude for autonomous weapons and domestic surveillance. Anthropic says no. February: the President orders every federal agency to drop Anthropic. The Defense Secretary bans Pentagon contractors from doing business with them. A rival announces its classified-network deal within hours. March: the Pentagon designates an American company a "supply chain risk" under a statute written for foreign adversaries. A federal judge blocks it. May: the Pentagon signs AI deals with seven companies. Anthropic is not one of them. June 9: Anthropic releases Fable 5. June 12: Commerce issues an export control directive over a jailbreak that, by the government's own account, was demonstrated verbally, came with no written explanation, and involves a capability you can get from other publicly available models today. Two things are true at once. First: Anthropic spent months marketing Mythos as too dangerous to release. Sam Altman said it was "incredible marketing to say we have built a bomb." The Commerce Department has now formally agreed it is a bomb. If you describe your product as a munition in every press release, eventually a government takes you at your word. They wrote the legal predicate themselves and called it a brand. Second: we have run this experiment before. In the 90s the government classified encryption as a munition under ITAR. Activists defeated it by printing PGP's source code as a book, because books are protected speech and floppy disks were arms exports. A t-shirt with three lines of RSA Perl was legally a munition. The controls collapsed because math does not stop at customs. The new wrinkle is the "deemed export" rule: showing controlled technology to a foreign national inside the US counts as exporting it abroad. Which is why Anthropic's own foreign-national employees are now locked out of the model they built. The munition is in the building and the people who made it are not allowed to look at it. The jailbreak is the paperwork. The refusal was in January.

#Fable @AnthropicAI

Trump must love being bitch-slapped by judges

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE

🚨BREAKING: @POTUS just opened three marine monuments to destructive industrial fishing. These areas are vital for protecting whales, sea turtles, sharks, and sensitive ocean ecosystems. This is an egregious attack on our public waters. #ProtectOurOcean #MonumentsForAll 🌊

What a wussy bench press … is he dancing?

chat is it healthy when it looks like you're having a grand mal while "exercising"?

Whether or not you ever voted for Trump can we all just agree to fix this problem in November by electing Democrats, Independents or centrists who can check his abuses of power.

It’s a tossup but then again we aren’t lacking signs. I’m reminded that capitalism like most systems needs guardrails. Those have all been trampled.
