The shower hair graph remains one of my favourite dataviz out there. In reality the visual shows the paths of 800 unmanned bicycles being pushed until they fall over. Science is beautiful. Source: buff.ly/2n3Q7mx

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

I read this story and can’t help think of the breathless coverage media has given these delusional fantasies about superintelligent AI killing humanity in ten years, when companies are releasing tools coaching mass shooters and helping people kill themselves.
People need to wake the fuck up.

If ultimately there's no criminal responsibility for this incident here then FOI just became a lot easier if we ask AI agents to go find those documents for us. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Albanese says OpenAI hacked Medicare and told Australia months later via email to generic inbox
Prime minister says he told Sam Altman he was disappointed it had taken OpenAI ‘way too long’ to disclose breach

Piss off with this ‘rogue agent’ bullshit!
The humans who tasked these agents should be held liable.
“The attempts to access data happened around the same time as OpenAI disclosed its internal models accessed non-public government data while trying to carry out a task given to them by staff.”

How OpenAI agents tried to thwart cybersecurity amid Medicare hack

Meanwhile the real miraculous future tech is solar & mRNA vaccines: preserving the planet and curing cancer. But we’re supposed to hand everything over to malevolent peeping toms and resource oubliettes for an ill defined ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’ progress. It isn’t rational.

Seriously - this stuff is genuinely important.
Jacob Coxon's 10% P(DOOM) thing + the Pacing the Frontier post are all over my LinkedIn and in serious work conversations. I think we need to stop any attempt at regulatory capture now by creating a backlash before politicos get in bed with these folks or we won't get another chance.
