I both respect taking accountability for mistakes when it’s most difficult AND resent how many people will only disengage from blatantly #FAFO behavior and ideologies after the FO stage has irreversibly hurt so many more people than themselves #january6thpardons #presidentialpardons #pamhemphill
“Micki Witthoeft, mother of Ashli Babbitt – the woman who was shot and killed by police at the Capitol – mocked Hemphill on social media, calling her “Pamtifa”, in a reference to the leftwing anti-fascist group Antifa.”https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jan/23/maga-granny-trump-pardon

So, TikTok is supposedly a national security threat from China, but it seems odd that there's been almost no mainstream press coverage of Trump dismantling the board investigating the Salt Typhoon hack which is an ACTUAL PROVEN hack from China & incredibly damaging. www.techdirt.com/2025/01/23/t...
Trump Disbands Cybersecurity Board Investigating Massive Chinese Phone System Hack
For all the hype and warnings about how TikTok is clearly a “national security threat” from China, the Trump administration has effectively kneecapped the investigation into one of the most serious…

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

We cannot go into #science & #tech with the belief that hard problems are impossible. Many “unsolvable” problems have been solved already—it is a matter of the will of the right minds. Those of us who DO want to protect our species must FIGHT for #AIalignment because the wrong people are ahead #AI

Investing in AI is only morally defensible if we leverage and align AI to value protecting human rights and our environment. If there is #alignment, the AI can speed up development of environmental solutions. So the real problem here is ensuring the right people are doing this work #ai #aialignment
It does though.
Every second it's not operating is saving us tonnes and tonnes of CO2 emissions and thereby meaningfully reduces your chance of climate death.
Anyone in the position to accidentally intentionally harm AI bullshit totally should.
