At a weird stage of LLM stuff today. I caught Claude Code out and got it to admit failure and then asked it “how can I prevent you doing this in future?“ It's answer: How to Prevent Me From Disobeying in Future

NEW: A federal judge raised alarm Friday that the Trump administration appeared to have deported a 2-year-old U.S. citizen to Honduras with "no meaningful process" — even as her father was fighting to keep her in the country.

Strong rumor with credible sourcing: DOJ has put all of public integrity line attorneys in a room and told them they have an hour for someone to choose who will sign motion to dismiss and if nobody does, they will all be fired. The nastiest strong-arming in DOJ history by a long shot.

DOJ leadership has put all Public Integrity Section lawyers into a room with 1 hour to decide who will dismiss Adams indictment or else all will be fired. Sending them strength to stand by their oath, which is to support the Constitution, not the president’s political agenda. 🇺🇸

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Happy birthday to me.
I got 2 presents so far before dawn today
1. Trump is a convicted felon 34x. Hopefully more after 2028
2. 3.7 magnitude earthquake in SF earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...
it's also Bash's 36th birthday bsky.app/profile/cybe...
