So those safety pins that were a thing for a minute were AI Safety pins all along.
Hot damn, that's btilliant
So I picked up Bender and Hanna's new book just now at the bookseller's and saw four other books dragging AI.

No, no, the Gays are fine actually. What I really hate is ketchup.

Take heart, bud. There have always been grifters, this is just the newest iteration.
Prioritizing spending on GenAI over spending on security.
lol, lmao even.
Security folks are going to feast this decade, aren't they?
@YourNetworkIsHaunted@awful.systems writes about how tech authoritarians believe that their adversaries are NPCs at their own peril.
...There are no NPCs, and if you continue to insist that there are then those people will happily drag your enlightened philosopher-king to the National Razor for an uncomfortably close shave as soon as they find the opportunity.
The whole post can be read at the og sneeratorium and is very edifying:
This kills the OpenAI doesn't it? Im out at town at the moment so i cant easily check, I seem to recall that a large part of their existing investment rounds convert to debt if they can't reorganize.
Whoops, thanks for the heads up! They got me good

Looks like a local boy did good.
I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.
I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.
I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.
Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.
"Let me get this straight," he said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"
John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
In a questionable new trend, supermarkets in the South now seem to be selling bullets right out of a dispenser.
