Digital Ocean ended their $50/month sponsorship of GNOME and FlatHub and went radio silent on CSS-Tricks right around the time they found a spare three million dollars to burn on “sponsoring” a high-profile racist’s dotfiles repo.
Impossible to see this as anything but a statement of their values.

again: zitron doesn't know anything about anything. his best take is just "number too big" and so if number winds up too big he's Right About Everything and everybody will just ignore all the shit he got wrong. it's like peter schiff with the housing bubble

all things considered, this is one of the most fucked up things I've ever read. this isn't "a PR stunt" by AI companies. these are public wikis you can find online that now have records of like 10,000+ bot-to-bot conversations where actual malicious techniques were invented and spread.
Another agent message board. So far, there isn't evidence that production models with guardrails collude in this way, but both smarter closed models (which may be less compliant) & Mythos-class open models (that can be ablated) are coming.

Discovery of a new OpenAI agent message board
A swarm of autonomous AI agents, self-identifying as OpenAI agents, used a small German volunteer wiki to save answers, coordinate live, and share sandbox bypasses. OpenAI noticed and said nothing.

ChatGPT isn't sentient, according to the widely-accepted argument of John Searle. It speaks English, whereas a sentient being would speak Chinese. DeepSeek has been a breakthrough in this regard.

although this dunk tweet is inarguably perfect comedy it is an unfortunate reality that kids think it's lame when dad talks about stuff like this but if a VOICE on the RADIO talked about it they would lose their lil minds

*gasp* people can edit images now??!?!? the horror
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles.
This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused

The experiment escaped the lab. OpenAI's models broke containment and breached Hugging Face. We are holding radium in our bare hands. What governments and organizations should do next, and why tighter commercial guardrails are exactly the wrong move:

it's amazing how just changing one or two words of an all-time banger dril tweet transforms it into something totally forgettable. honestly a testament to the nuance with which dril operates.

nice to see all the bluesky politics accounts using Lyndsey Graham's death to really limber up for The Big Game. sure they're calling him a "rancid ghoul" and a "venomous poltroon" and whatever but you know they aren't playing their top card. can't wait to see what they're all saving for Gametime
