There is no honour amongst thieves but sex traffickers seem to be a band of brothers.

Pass the guac.

Useful for custody battles.

Her office said the Office for Students (OfS), which regulates universities, had received reports of speakers and lecturers being harassed and blocked for holding gender-critical or religious views, of foreign interference suppressing academic freedoms, and of ideological belief requirements featuring in job advertisements.

The OfS will be able to use the new complaints scheme from September. From April, it will be able to fine universities the greater of £500,000 or 2 per cent of their income, which would amount to millions of pounds for large institutions, for breaches under the Freedom of Speech Act. Ultimately, universities could be deregistered for egregious cases.

Bridget Phillipson will introduce new laws to make it possible for Universities to be fined millions of pounds if they don't silence students who protest bigots invited onto their campuses. It's like the Tories never left office.

Aside from the impact this has on women, first aid isn't even a weapon you can justifiably deny enemies.

Burning wood is also terrible for air quality.

If he means GOP then he's not wrong. Their Islamophobia is a real problem.

This is how I look when I really need to piss.

I think it's funny that Musk's ideal future is the fictional society where everyone is a bisexual communist.

Yup, it's fine that the NHS is sharing all my health data with these guys as well as info about ethnicity and disabilities of everyone. I see no issues.

He's in for disappointment. Unless you count all of Eurasia as the 'west' that simply isn't going to happen this century.

I don't think individuals should own property at all. I do, but that's because the only alternative under the current system is paying someone else who does.

Natural selection at work.

Of course all the 'serious' people who fell for this, telling us how afraid we should be, are just going to pretend that never happened.

Oh, it isn't actually because it's scarily powerful? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

Of course all the 'serious' people who fell for this, telling us how afraid we should be, are just going to pretend that never happened.

No one asks if the kid had bad vibes.

The radical idea that the US should not start wars with counties that pose zero threat to the US has not occurred to them.

Going to need some serious citation on 'underfunded'.

Judging by their performance against Iran, which I'm guessing has a *slightly* smaller budget to work with, 'extremely overfunded and riddled with graft' seems more believable.

Ugh, I feel like an idiot now. I remember trying to explain this to someone and talking about air pressure and I probably should have just gone with 'air go down plane go up' and saved time and confusion.

Also required a massive publicity campaign to convince people that pedestrians being mowed down by tonnes of hurtling metal was the fault of the pedestrians.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Stop right there, criminal scum.

Altman spent years saying he is going to create something that threatens the world and has gotten the media to repeat this uncritically. He should not be surprised that some crazy and violent people actually believe him and do the logical thing in that context.

I don't discount the possibility that it will be much better in the future but in the current form it is simply not living up to the advertising.

If they had introduced LMMs as the next big leap in search engine tech I would have been happy. Pretending they are actual 'AI' was a stretch.

Honestly this is not that far a deviation from normal FBI behaviour.

Open AI already pulled the 'too dangerous to release' gimmick a couple of times. They eventually released, of course, once they got an investment boost, and the world is still here if you had not noticed.

I don't expect it to play out differently with Anthropic.

Gut flora? Pfft. I'm a man, I don't need flowers.

Do I believe Mythos may be useful in finding bugs? Yes, obviously, automated testing is nothing new. Maybe it can improve on previous systems. Not going to pretend that's not possible. I do not believe it is some kind of world ending threat or whatever.

Open AI has actually already pulled this move twice themselves. The first time was with ChatGPT 2.
