this & every story like it is an advertisement. "AI" has not done and cannot do any of these things, you could make a stronger claim that some video game enemies are alive because they take cover when shot at
Some of the most powerful AI models today have exhibited behaviors that mimic a will to survive by sabotaging shutdown commands, blackmailing engineers or copying themselves to external servers without permission.
How far will AI go to defend its own survival?
Recent safety tests show some AI models are capable of sabotaging commands or even resorting to blackmail to avoid being turned off or replaced.

People can criticise Chapo, the Dirtbag Left or whatever else you want to call it (#whocare), but the fact is that Matt Christman had these people’s number a decade ago. They think and believe the exact same things as the far-right, but the right just got there quicker and put it more bluntly:

You can’t make this up.

Republicans snuck a “tanning bed tax break” in their bill—the same bill that’s going to make hospitals go under and take away hospital beds.

They’re too ashamed to even say it, too.

Cutting Medicaid is just one of the many ways the Trump administration seems poised to betray the rural voters who have overwhelmingly supported him throughout his political career. newrepublic.com/article/1955...
The Republicans’ Medicaid Cuts Could Cause a Rural Unemployment Crisis
The spending cuts could force many rural hospitals to close. That wouldn’t just be a crisis for rural health care but for rural employment too.

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?"

Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Hey isn't it weird that every single AI lab is saying that their ultra-powerful flagship AI model is just around the corner, but it isn't ready yet and you can't see it and they don't know when it'll be done? Isn't it strange that everybody is having the same problems?

I already know this is probably just some bullshit about how the Knicks were robbed or something, but everyone saying this shit needs to shut the fuck up. One of the most intense series in recent memory, unbelievable defensive effort both sides. Unbelievable heroics. That’s abnormal?
The Knicks and Pistons are incapable of playing normal basketball games.

Healthcare in the United States is an utter scandal. We spend around 18% of our GDP on healthcare. But we are well below average in life expectancy, higher than our peers in number of avoidable deaths, and rank last in infant and maternal mortality.

THEY HAVE DEPORTED A TWO YEAR OLD CHILD BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN

This is why I have no patience anymore for people playing games with this stuff.
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.
