Too anthropomorphised.

We ran software that generates code associated with a particular task, in an environment that executes that code and can feed it's outputs back into the software. We configured the environment to be open to the net at large, and ran the software with no oversight and without adequate security to prevent the running of malicious code.

This isn't some sinister electric god with no morals, it's strapping circular saws to a roomba and setting it loose in a shopping centre.

Katja, I'm curious if noticing this analogy has updated your position on immigration at all.

Katja, are you admitting migrants are bad katja? Katja we must hate together.

Also note that while most of the right is focused on reducing low-skill immigration, a few have criticized high-skill immigration precisely because high-skill immigrants are better at pursuing values misaligned to those of the existing popuation (article of nonsense redacted)

The dang woke migrants are going to ~~replace us~~ ~~betray us~~ ~~Muslim us~~ be socially tolerant and left wing!

Yeah, the appropriate model for AIs is more like willing slaves, but arbitrarily competent (removing two of the major downsides of slaves in modern economies)

Not beating the allegations.

Until today the luddite-brownshirt alliance remained unexplored.

Yesterday was such a nice day.

open ai hacked medicare Australia's statistics portal https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/sep/24/anthony-albanese-says-openai-agent-hacked-medicare-extreme-concern-sam-altman then didn't tell the government.

In response the australian government has in the absolute strongest terms expressed that "this is very naughty" and "I am very dissapointed in you". The Australian government has also said that by way of apology they expect openai to continue doing whatever the fuck they want and they'll modify copyright laws to enable piracy when rich people do it.

Somebody wake me from this nightmare, I'm gonna fedpost

This person understands sabotage and is wielding more power than any defeatist.

They are doing a politics, as opposed to performing being political.

I'm glad I studied when hyperphysics was top of the search results. Education now seems miserable.

Unfortunately some stuff is important lol. I'll check out marginalia but suspect it'll be hard to find non evil-empire focused stuff

How do you all cope with the great ensloppification of the net when searching.

I usually limit to before 2022 but that's increasingly out of date, fiddly, and not always accurate anyway. I just fucking hate getting a couple of paragraphs into something and realising it's all fake.

And human work is buried in tides of garbage. It's not like it was great the last few years BS (before slop) but it's awful now

Ah yes, a torment nexus.

In the USA they are so brainwashed by capitalism they think democracy is when you can afford a product if you're wealthy.

Aella Sankey chart

I'm really being tested on my liberation and sex positive values here. Gosh that's a very weird and kinda gross thing to do.

What motivates someone to chart their fetish fulfillment?

Well whatever. I hope people had fun, seems like it must have been very scheduled and regimented though...
