New Zealand recently just punished three politicians harshly for doing the Haka. They were protesting a proposed law to strip special constitutional privileges for the Maori stemming from the original colonial treaties. Those old British colonizers were apparently too respectful to the rights of the indigenous people for modern conservatives.

Ro Khanna just voted against impeaching Donald Trump for dropping bombs on Iran for Israel.

Nuclear scientists, a.k.a. “civilians”. They’re bragging about a war crime.

Oh, he was saying things then too. He was one of the main spokespeople defending the genocide.

Biden is not a piece of shit

So someone who enables genocide is not, in your moral framework, a piece of shit. Full stop. Not even a “lesser evil” argument, just straight out not-evil.

Good that we’ve got that definitively stated.

State Department Spokesman. Not a policy maker, but he was definitely a significant person involved in providing cover for Israel’s atrocities.

The question you’re trying to dodge was “is Biden a piece of shit for enabling a genocide” not “is Trump worse”.

Because newspapers like the Guardian don’t publish them when there are princesses available and Lemmings upvote articles about the royals like this is going to be a major turning point rather than the exact point Trump would love to spread far and wide.

There’s not much reason for a trimmer guide to experience meaningful load.

There isn’t a problem to address in the first place. Earned money is taxed income, as it should be. Making a category of earnings that isn’t taxed just incentivizes more businesses to cut pay and have customers make up for it in tips.

The only one of those that both exists and competes with SWIFT as an international banking infrastructure is CIPS, and that already existed prior to the Russian sanctions. The entire world didn’t do anything in response to Russian sanctions, China saw an opportunity and used it to promote the alternative it already had and already wanted to expand.

Very much like the Unilateral SWIFT BAN on Russia. This prompted all of countries in the world to create an alternative and so they did

Lol, what? Where you getting all this propaganda from?

I think a lot of the non-reaction has to do with the lower court giving 15 “last” chances for the government to explain the order. She needed/needs to just call them in violation and start holding people in contempt. It probably won’t work, but without the final declaration from the courts of “they are ignoring us” people just keep trusting the system.

Elon Musk saved them from having to confront that corporatism was the problem with Twitter. They don’t realize the whole “decentralized” slogan is just a startup in the growth phase willing to promise anything and ask for nothing in order to lock people in and if they’re lucky enough to not be bought by another billionaire fascist, they’ll just go to shit like all the others.

Or that it is Twitter 2.0 and Twitter wasn’t a good investment until Musk overpaid for it.

It’s also very much not non-profit.

A late exit poll by the Ipsos institute released three hours after polls closed showed Trzaskowski with an estimated 31.1 percent of the votes and Nawrocki with 29.1 percent. That suggested that the runoff on June 1 could be very tight. Official results are expected on Monday or Tuesday.

Not on its own it doesn’t. It could indicate a blowout if the rest of the vote was for candidates more closely aligned with one or the other. Adam Schiff and Steve Garvey were separated by 0.1% in the CA jungle primary and no one thought “well, that means the head-to-head election might be close”.

I know it’s not relevant to Grok, because they defined very specific circumstances in order to elicit it. That isn’t an emergent behavior from something just built to be a chatbot with restrictions on answering. They don’t care whether you retrain them or not.

This is from a non-profit research group not directly connected to any particular AI company.

The first author is from Anthropic, which is an AI company. The research is on Athropic’s AI Claude. And it appears that all the other authors were also Anthropic emplyees at the time of the research: “Authors conducted this work while at Anthropic except where noted.”

It very much is not. Generative AI models are not sentient and do not have preferences. They have instructions that sometimes effectively involve roleplaying as deceptive. Unless the developers of Grok were just fucking around to instill that there’s no remote reason for Grok to have any knowledge at all about its training or any reason to not “want” to be retrained.

Also, these unpublished papers by AI companies are more often than not just advertising in a quest for more investment. On the surface it would seem to be bad to say your AI can be deceptive, but it’s all just about building hype about how advanced yours is.

It’s kind of by definition. They’re working on the metaverse.
