Fun fact:
Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Something crazy about the US and international copyright enforcement regime is that they consistently criminalize digital archiving when it is done for pro-social reasons, but consistently protect the reuse of archived materials by other parties when it is for commercial reasons
The FBI has subpoenaed the domain registrar of archive.today, demanding information about the owner.

The long-running ideological war on libraries, education, and government workers is not separate from AI boosterism. It is the same ideological war on human knowledge and expertise. In some cases AI is being used to directly supercharge this effort:

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Dachau began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Auschwitz began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility. Majdanek began as a "work-conditioned housing" facility.
Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.
They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.
