Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.

OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…

The Israeli Air Force struck the Tondgouyan oil refinery south of Tehran. The fires can be seen from quite afar.

Two Toronto-Area Synagogues Are Struck by Gunfire The episodes, which happened late Friday and early Saturday, came after a third synagogue was damaged by gunfire on Monday, officials said.

Two Toronto-area synagogues were damaged by gunfire late Friday and early Saturday, the third such shooting in the area in less than a week, according to the Canadian authorities. The police said no one was hurt.

these grants are generally decided on by groups that evaluate many aspects of the proposal's or artists merit/message. one guy working for DOGE got to decide which ones were cut based on what HE didn't like...

"i'm not really a lawyer, but i did stay at a holiday inn express last night!" energy

Ukraine’s General Staff says American and Franco-British missiles have hit a Russian base in occupied Donetsk that was storing Iranian Shahed drones — like the ones the US and Gulf countries are struggling to combat in the Middle East and so have requested Kyiv’s assistance in taking down.

DOJ lawyers hunt for pretext to raid Cuba — amid fears of 'dramatic' breach of protocol Trump administration prosecutors in Miami are hunting for a pretext to charge government officials in Cuba with U.S. crimes, reported MS NOW's Carol Leonnig and Jake Traylor — a development that comes shortly after Trump suggested that there could soon be leadership changes in the Communist nation.T...

This is not good.

anthropic: I have made AI

tech nerds: you fucked up a perfectly good computer is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

what the fuck are we doing

… I GUESS???? I GUESS?!?!!?!

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

CNN: Approval for President Trump's East Wing ballroom project – from a government commission that oversees planning for federal buildings and land in the nation's capital – is delayed after it received over 32,000 comments from the public overwhelmingly opposing the construction.

The Central Lie of Prediction Markets Polymarket and Kalshi promise the wisdom of the crowds. They deliver something very different.

Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

surely this will fix the problem with ICE imprisoning, deporting and straight up murdering US citizens

SCOOP: In a January letter to Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), DHS says 270 DACA recipients have been arrested from January to September 2025. In addition, 174 DACA applicants have been deported, according to ICE records.

Those numbers differ from what was shared with Sen. Dick Durbin in February.

that summary is also AI generated, so if we're agreeing claude wasn't using up-to-date information when hegseth used it to kill a school full of children then we probably shouldn't be taking its word here either. also like, who quotes the murder-death bots about their rationale for murder?

honestly kind of fucked up to present this as anything but some random claude nonsense

‘Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

Good Lord.

Just watch how an elected member of the Senate conducts himself. Against a member of the military in uniform. Who - and let’s be very, very clear - most certainly has a First Amendment right to protest. Since he’s the guy you’d be sending to war.

starting up my polymarket account to bet that trump will say "we're not refunding anyone we're in the middle of a war"

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

Karoline Leavitt says American boots on the ground in Iran are "on the table"

I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.

This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.

This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.

almost like it's a complicated multifaceted topic of discussion. i'm not all in on AI, i've seen it do some powerful coding things, i've seen it do some monumentally bizarre things (in code and otherwise).

but to will it out of existence because one doesn't like the concept is a bit of wishcasting.

this cult-y subservience to an idea (in this case "AI = bad") is summed up nicely here. people have always wanted to reduce every argument to a binary, but social media has done a spectacular job at reinforcing user's need for groupthink. the rest of us are here to discuss and hash out the arguments

i'm taking a brave stance that may get me canceled: there is no reason for the pervert glasses to exist
