The man building some of the most powerful AI systems on Earth believes there's a 1 in 4 chance of catastrophe. If your pilot said there was a 25% chance your plane would crash, would you board?
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei says he thinks there's a 25% chance AI ends in disaster.

Take Back Our Digital Infrastructure To Save Democracy
Watch the tech oligarchs who lined up behind Donald Trump at his inauguration, and you'll see the most important story of our time: the fascists are winning because they've built a direct pipeline from concentrated technological power to concentrated political power. This isn't about technology being inherently dangerous—it's about how distorted Wall Street incentives drove us toward digital infrastructure that mirrors authoritarian power structures.

my headcanon is that there was a schism early on between the licklider/engelbart camp (the computer is a tool) and the minsky/mccarthy camp (the computer is a slave), and it is somewhat substantiated by this book: press.stripe.com/the-dream-ma...
Stripe Press — The Dream Machine
A biography of J. C. R. Licklider, the psychologist and scientist who inspired the work that led to the internet, and shifted our understanding of what computers could be.

Hey ya’ll, welcome to Prison Planet
The Trump administration’s new policy requiring applicants for student and exchange visas to set social media accounts to “public” for government review is a dangerous expansion of existing social media collection efforts. This policy gravely chills free expression.
You Shouldn’t Have to Make Your Social Media Public to Get a Visa
The Trump administration is continuing its dangerous push to surveil and suppress foreign students’ social media activity. The State Department recently announced an unprecedented new requirement that...
