I left Spotify after 9 years because of the CEO's autonomous weapons investment shit, but it's not really about Spotify individually at all. It's about trying to be better, and intentional, and asking yourself if you're making the world you want

me explaining to the police why I caused a 23-car pileup:

i was not expecting hackers to prompt-poison my AI car's vision system with big red sign that said 'spin the wheel rly hard immediately' on it
I figured this might be one for @simonwillison.net, as this isn't exactly the same as the "lethal trifecta", but still, 😬.

Researchers have figured out how to use using prompt injection on *self driving cars* now.

Took my little sister to Paris for the first time for her birthday. Was a true blessing, she is such a sweet, kind and empathetic person. Was a gift to even be able to share it with her. Sharing some of my faves

go ahead. post another "take." tell me that not liking AI is elitist. accuse Dril of sabotaging Harris's chances at winning the election. say that it's "white male privilege" to not vote for Newsom. come up with a woke way to support genocide. call me gay for liking corn dogs.

NEW: lawmakers in new york rolled out a proposed data center moratorium bill today, making NY at least the sixth state to introduce legislation pausing data center development in the past few *weeks*:
New York Is the Latest State to Consider a Data Center Pause
Red and blue states alike have introduced legislation in recent weeks that would halt data center development, citing concerns from climate to high energy prices.

‘talented‘ here usually just means ‘is a psychopath level manipulator’ and ‘is rich’
One lesson from the Epstein–Mandelson affair is that we need to stop routinely rehabilitating political careers after serious scandals.

When politicians knowingly engage in grave ethical wrongdoing, that should permanently end their political careers. Being "talented" should not override that.
