Prison guards:

- Watched a woman experiencing psychosis gouge out her own eyeballs.

- Ignored a man’s beeping insulin pump for more than 24 hours before he died.

- Left a man sitting in his own feces not eating for weeks, he lost 60 lbs before he died.

All in San Diego County, last ~5 years.
Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

Absolutely stunning that OpenAI, Anthropic, and Microsoft were able to buy off an entire teachers’ union for just $23 million.
We know students, like the rest of the world, are using AI. Teachers need to be equipped to deal w/all the issues AI creates. Our approach starts with maximizing safety & privacy and empowering educators to make educational decisions, so AI tools can benefit not harm www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
AI has become the norm for students. Teachers are playing catch-up.
At a New York City training session, educators explored how artificial intelligence could support teaching while also discussing their concerns around the technology.

I would struggle to trust an academic who doesn‘t know how to
use AI tools.
Which is not the same as not being critical.

After briefing on strikes off Venezuela, Sen. Sheehy says “if we're going to question the legal process and the procedural process to target bad guys that this administration is using, then all of you better start cracking open every single Obama kinetic strike”

"Prompt engineering" isn't a real career field and the degree to which it even seems necessary to anyone is the degree to which the technology doesn't actually work as advertised

The absurd notion of designating fentanyl as a WMD has been kicking around for a few years now.

I discussed it in this 2023 commentary for @crisisgroup.org.

Further point being, Somalia surely counts as the most intense zone of US military engagement in 2025, far beyond even the Caribbean aggression, and accordingly has to be one of the most ignored stories of the year.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

TIME magazine is owned by Marc Benioff, owner of Salesforce, who literally ran an AI agents puff piece about his ow company in the magazine. I’m unsurprised he thinks a bunch of grifters are person of the year, he thinks they’re cool
Just wait until you see Time’s Person of the Year…😱😭
