When Sam Altman says "the risk mitigation strategy will need to co-evolve," he means he wants you to pay him to put yourselves and your data at risk so he can strengthen ChatGPT Agent's guardrails.
Don't pay to "co-evolve" with Sam Altman. That sounds gross, and you're already doing it for free.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.
They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

$45 billion for ethnic cleansing
It’s one thing to say they want to deport 20 million people, it’s even one thing to go nuts brazenly doing whatever you can as the executive branch to make it happen, but the fact that they’re going to give ICE an additional 45B shows how committed they are to seeing this through.

TechCrunch recently reported that "people are using AI for companionship much less than we're led to believe." Here's why it's bad reporting: (1) TechCrunch is getting this information from one source, an Anthropic report. (2) They don't explore whether this is a trend in any direction.

But it’s okay if you let women in ICE custody miscarry by denying them prenatal care?
On Thursday, Republican justices ruled, in Medina v. Planned Parenthood, that Medicaid patients may not choose their health provider. And then they went much further. Thursday’s decision radically reorders all of federal Medicaid law, rendering much of it unenforceable. voxdotcom.visitlink.me/s05_KP
