'We cannot allow private companies, acting as both judge and party, to set the rules of the AI game' Proposals from OpenAI, a key player in artificial intelligence (AI) led by Sam Altman, raise questions about mitigating social risks and sharing the benefits of this technological revolution. Whether the company can be trusted remains uncertain, writes Le Monde columnist Stéphane Lauer.

'We cannot allow private companies, acting as both judge and party, to set the rules of the AI game'

That's the reason for this:
Article II Section 4 of the US Constitution provides for removal of the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United State from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I realize that I fell into their trap: all extremist narratives embed a lie that often goes unchallenged while we fight over words like ‘quarrelsome’

My mother, my husband and I earned our medical school spot because NO ONE (woman or man) gets recruited to medical school.

Premier Ford thought a $29M taxpayer-funded jet made sense during an affordability crisis. That tells you everything.

Now he’s fast-tracking anti-FOI changes to dodge public scrutiny.

Same pattern: waste, secrecy, damage control. Ontarians deserve better. #onpoli

Or because he was distracting us from his recent education policy and the FOI policy he’s pushing through this week without public consultation?

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I wish he could meet some of the Somalian students and academic fellows at the University of Oxford.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

🚨 Trump claims a U.S. Navy destroyer intercepted an Iranian-flagged cargo ship in the Gulf of Oman—and says U.S. forces “blew a hole in the engine room” after the crew refused orders—adding the vessel is now in U.S. custody.

If true, that’s a direct military strike despite a supposed ceasefire.

Surveillance pricing is just another devious way to gouge customers. The practice should be banned.

Aaaaaaaannnnndddd…no woman is surprised by this.

894. See Bob Janssen, MSc, ROH, Senior Policy Analyst, “A Scientific Review – The Influenza Pandemic: Airborne vs. Non-Airborne Transmission and Considerations for Respiratory Protection” Vancouver: Policy & Research Division, WorkSafeBC, December 2005: One should be aware of the effects of droplet evaporation and the resultant diminution in size of ejected droplets. A 30 Ìm droplet dries to a 5 Ìm droplet within seconds under normal indoor air conditions. This means that a large droplet, as it evaporates, will not settle to the ground but become a free-floating entity. This has implications for the 3 foot rule, the basis for infection control precautionary measures, since it is commonly believed that large droplets ejected upon sneezing or coughing will follow Stoke’s Law and fall to ground within a 3 foot distance from the person’s face. It is evident that it is commonly believed that the 3 foot rule is a division between an unsafe and safe distance. There is no indication that the 3 foot rule takes into consideration the evaporation factor and the drift factor of airborne droplets, as discussed above. No scientific evidence is offered by WHO, DHHS-CDC, PCAH, or other medical authorities in explaining the rule. If large droplets quickly evaporate to free-floating small droplets, then the 3 foot rule applies only to droplets greater than about 50 – 100 Ìm in diameter for which there is insufficient time chance for evaporation to take effect before they fall to the ground from a height of 5–6 feet. Free floating small droplets readily go beyond the 3 foot radius. Therefore, if the majority of ejected droplets following a sneeze are evaporated to a size that is free-floating after only seconds in air, the 3 foot rule becomes illogical and not particularly helpful from a disease transmission perspective.

This chapter of the report of the SARS Commission is also worth reading.

We probably could have stopped COVID in 2020 if IPC leaders had just followed the directions provided after the last time they mismanaged a major SARS-CoV outbreak.

“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”

The most corrupt regime ever.

or maybe, let himself be bedazzled by the potential profits of "rebuilding" the devastated deserted landscape?

It's STILL a pandemic (WHO has not ended it). Also, COVID is NOT a respiratory virus - it is AIRBORNE virus. Two different things.

TBC, COVID is vaccine-reduceable NOT preventable. VE against hosp '24-'25 was only ~44% (NACI). Tired of this dishonesty. #MaskUP FFS!

Yes, NOW, i.e. immediately.

This one statement alone is all the Cabinet and Congress needs to invoke Sec. 4 of the 25th Amendment:

like so many others. lost my brother on monday from this. hope this really works so others dont need to go through this.

At minimum 44% of Ontario's total debt will be under Doug Ford.

Let that sink in.

It's not just Trump! Everyone must understand it's the entire Project 2025 Epstein Class Mafia. Until you get this and focus on the full Enemy they will win their war. They will take ALL THE WEALTH OF THE USA. Yes say what Trump has done and is doing. But broaden the context to fit the full context.

Banning algorithmic pricing ought to be a no-brainer call for any government: people don’t like to be ripped off, surveilled, or treated differently from their peers.

Algorithm pricing does all three of those things.

on behalf of all those with mental health issues: what a piece of shit.

And furthermore. No insight.

The oligarch from Etobicoke. Time to send him packing.

Ontario government buys $28.9M private jet for Doug Ford's use | CBC News The provincial government has purchased a pre-owned private jet for $28.9 million to be used by Ontario Premier Doug Ford.

Ontario can't keep emergency departments open, can't adequately fund home care, can't stop breaking the CHA with privatized primary care, but hey...

...at least the Premier can visit our struggling communities while comfortablely seated in "the widest cabin in its class" of Bombardier private jet.

So many of us who advocated for N95s were told to avoid COVID by hand washing.

This apology doesn’t rectify the ongoing problem; the general population still thinks COVID isn’t airborne and even our hospitals aren’t instituting masking to protect our most vulnerable patients.
