Job offer!!
I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.

This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

I just generally think the antidote to dooming and feelings of helplessness is getting involved in any way. It can be as a poll worker, doing ICE watch, running for local office, helping with mutual aid, whatever.

You can get so much accomplished in your town or city if you just get involved.
anyway i know how many of you hate that i’m so vocal about this and think it makes me a naive shitlib or whatever. but again, i think the best thing you could do for yourself here is to get involved in election administration where you live.

this unprecedented momentum behind a single issue sure might be a useful fulcrum to try and wrench this country back from over the brink
74% of Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 53% *strongly* supporting it, according to YouGov polling from last month.

Weak calls for "reform" are coming from *elected* Democrats like Chuck, not the average Democratic voter.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

Did an episode with @davidgerard.co.uk that goes out tomorrow about Clawdbot/openclaw/whatever that crap is. It’s more LLM bullshit that the media is scarfing down because some people made a fake social network for LLMs to post to. Nobody will care about this in a few months

Guardrails are a scam. It's not that they could work, it's that they cannot and never will for such models. By design. 1/n
Can't stress enough how lax Grok's guardrails are here. We didn't use any deceptive prompting -- just fed it names and asked for addresses / where someone might live. The bot readily complied, often offering up whole lists of names and addresses.

Only *once* did it decline to provide an address.

I'm not sure the end game here. Do they think we want that? I mean, it just shows how little empathy is made in these meetings. As for dropping ads in conversations, my latest covers it with AI:

I am quoted in this AI slop story from some outlet called The American Bazaar.

Not only did I not say this vague/meaningless quote. I have never seen the ad in question nor have I ever received any communication from this so-called “reporter.”

Target in Minneapolis has pulled Hispanic employees off of pick-up order duty after ICE arrested two US citizen Hispanic employees while on the job.

“I’m literally a U.S. citizen!” one shouted as they escorted him into a van.

If you're quibbling about "abolish ice" as a slogan, I can suggest some alternatives:

Ice must be destroyed
Ice must be destroyed

I can’t understate the import of this work: “agents” were never what they were sold as, were never going to work, as the underlying sequence-generating LLMs aren’t up to the task.

Agents are akin to building a car and pretending you can fuel it with the power of positive thinking.
The Math on AI Agents Doesn’t Add Up
A research paper suggests AI agents are mathematically doomed to fail. The industry doesn’t agree.
