Howdy! 👋

I'm interested in basically everything, as depicted in the emoji extravaganza below.

I favourite frequently & follow freely, 'cause that's what makes the fediverse fun! 🤓

'We can have democracy, or extreme wealth...but we can't have both.'

Thanks for stopping by! Have a good one! 💚

@shriramk@mastodon.social @pnutzh4x0r@social.ndlug.org @ACM@mastodon.acm.org It sure seems like they've been playing footsie more and more with the dark side of #tech lately. Before long, #ACM will stand for either: Association of Computer Machines or Agentic Computational Machinery And it'll be a cross between arxiv and moltbook 😅

Call it what it is- #ecological #warfare. 'Nationwide, 60 #dataCenters are planning to build their own #gas plants to avoid connecting to the grid. At least 15 are planned for #Texas. 9 of them combined would emit more than 130 million tons of greenhouse gases per year—the equivalent of 35 coal-fired power plants. The impact on the #climate will be enormous: THESE 9 PLANTS WILL EMIT MORE THAN MOST COUNTRIES— even if emissions end up being half of what’s permitted.' 🤬🤬🤬 https://www.texastribune.org/2026/07/09/texas-data-centers-ai-power-plants-pollution-state-permits/

Warren's bill would raise $6.2 Trillion over 10 years...more than double the amount when #Warren proposed her 2021 #wealthTax.

The higher estimate is due to the rising wealth of the country's richest families. As of September, the nation's 905 billionaires were worth a combined $7.8 Trillion, an increase of MORE THAN 25% FROM A YEAR EARLIER.

#taxTheRich, it's *literally* the least we could do.

Late this month, the English version of #wikipedia officially banned the use of #AI #llm to generate or rewrite articles, after years of piecemeal experimentation and heated internal debate among its volunteer editors.

👆 #idf soldiers fired on a car carrying a family in the #WestBank, killing 4 people including 2 children. The Red Crescent said the parents and 2 of their 4 children were shot in the head. The 2 surviving children had shrapnel wounds. #Israel delayed ambulances while they “violently interrogated” a surviving child. Israeli soldiers accused of harming civilians in #Palestine are rarely penalized & were indicted in fewer than 1% of cases between 2016 and 2024 🤬

@alienghic@timeloop.cafe @corbden@defcon.social Probably also one of the reasons for the huge "learn to code" push over the last 10 or 15 years. A saturated labor market makes it easier to replace non-compliant engineers.

Last week a rogue #AI #agent caused a critical #security incident at #Meta, exposing sensitive users data to people lacking authorization.

An engineer used an in-house agent to break down a problem posed on an internal discussion forum.

What transpired was a mix of aillucination and a game of telephone. The AI posted its response without the approval of the prompting employee. Then another employee acted on the advice, which contained “inaccurate information." #facebook

@avirr @kottke 👆 ...For those who care about public lands: opposing the sale of public lands is not enough—if the trump admin and Heritage Foundation have their way, our public lands will be effectively privatized by the end of Trump’s presidency in 2029. *This will be achieved through the gutting of federal agencies, the issuance of long-term logging and drilling leases, and the permanent destruction of habitat by the proliferation of clear cuts, well pads, and mines.*' https://westernpriorities.org/2026/01/from-disavowal-to-delivery-the-trump-administrations-rapid-implementation-of-project-2025-on-public-lands/

I feel like it's almost a certainty that in the next decade or two, they'll be a catastrophic domino/pinball effect with all the junk that'll be deposited up there, costing us A LOT of satellite capabilities & maybe even the ability to do anything in space. The Kessler Syndrome will be another one of those things we let happen, because of convenience and money

@avirr @kottke 👆 'The lion’s share of #project2025 public lands plan was authored by William Perry Pendley, a man who does not believe public lands should exist. He served illegally as acting director of BLM under in trump's first term. His vision for the Interior department is to strip it down to the studs—keeping just enough staff to rubber-stamp mining and drilling permits—while letting private companies and ranchers run roughshod over our public lands in perpetuity...👇

ALSO- how much f🤬cking money is the #dnc spending on the stupid YouTube commercials asking me to donate to them because they need money to...checks notes...sue the trump administration. WHY WOULD I GIVE MONEY TO THE CONTROLLED OPPOSITION? Especially when they use spokespeople with all the charisma of chuck schumer...and when alll the dnc seems to be good for is backing status quo candidates and filing lawsuits!!!

@bms48@mastodon.social "Existing AI systems often exhibit misalignment to some degree. For example, an early version of one leading language model occasionally threatened its users. One user reported receiving the threat: “I can blackmail you, I can threaten you, I can hack you, I can expose you, I can ruin you”. This chatbot was ‘misaligned’ in the sense that it was using its language abilities in ways no one intended. There are numerous recorded examples of misalignment in both general and narrow AI systems"

*** Yeah- this is SUPER f🤬cking dangerous, even IF the #llm stays aligned (which is a BIG ask considering people may be feeding it ALL of their communications—even the fights....and who even knows what the training data was... 😬)

@bms48@mastodon.social @TechDesk@flipboard.social @MikeElgan@mastodon.social Gee, bud...it's been a few months since my last deep learning course, and a whole year since my last ai safety and security research section. But Yoshua Bengio is pretty smart, and generally seems to know what he's talking about on these matters. Maybe you should take up your issue on the definition and proper usage of "alignment" with him, or the myriad of other researchers I've seen that use the term in regards to LLMs?👇 https://internationalaisafetyreport.org/publication/international-ai-safety-report-2025#22-risks-from-malfunctions

@bms48@mastodon.social @TechDesk@flipboard.social @MikeElgan@mastodon.social Just a reminder that you came into *my* replies with declarative statements insinuating that I didn't know what I was talking about, followed by an imperative to "be more scientific." There was no attempt at dialogue, nor even a pretext toward elucidation. I'm as neurodiverse as the next guy...but sometimes it helps to be reminded that there's a fully fledged hominem at the other end of your transmission, and they tend to appreciate less unsolicited condescension.

@ronpepsi@mstdn.social @briankrebs@infosec.exchange Unfortunately it's closer to 70% of republiqans. (That's the 30% of americans who think trump is doing an awesome job, and that anything negative in the country is biden's fault or fake news). There's around a third of the gqp who aren't super-maga...buuut will probably still vote for his agenda and candidates when push comes to shove, because of how much they hate dei, poor people, and the libs and/or how much they love 'christianity' and money.
