Yes. "Nationalist [St. George flag as crusader flag] [Church emoji] @whitepilledpage" isn't even a dog whistle, it is unapologetically a blatant white nationalist account.

I hope a lot of the equation is, as you said, "generous, imaginative, passionate people" showing others that there is a way forward with AI. I hope that we can develop public benefit oriented communities, like we did in public media. It is why I am passionate about publicai.network and similar!
You've taken the words right out of my heart, so no need to belabor repeating too much, but these are the visions, aspirations, and values I think we absolutely need.
This is a really incredible thread.
"Call it Critical Catholic Theory." It already has a name and it is 'Catholic Social Teaching' and this isn't new.
This is Trump's former AI adviser

“We cannot in good conscience accede” to the demands of the Department of War.
Concerns about the Department’s potential use of AI for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons have not been resolved.
Screenshot of an X post from Rob Wiblin @robertwiblin: "Every AI lab is working to make their AI helpful, harmless and honest. Max Harms (@raelifin) thinks this is a complete wrong turn, and 'aligning' AI to human values is actively dangerous. In his view a safe AGI must have absolutely no opinion about how the world ought to be, be willingly modifiable, and be entirely indifferent to being shut down. The opposite of all commercial models today. The key is that so-called corrigibility could be an attractor state -- get close enough and the AI actively helps you make it more corrigible over time. That forgiveness would at least give us a shot. It's a strategy that feels natural within the 'MIRI worldview', recently laid out by his colleagues @ESYudkowsky and @So8res in 'If Anyone Builds It Everyone Dies'. But it risks causing a different AI catastrophe, because the resulting AI model would necessarily be willing to assist any human operator with a power grab, or indeed any crime at all.
Ah yes, the preferred alignment method of Robert Edwin House.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social
When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means
This project is a truly great resource. Aspen Digital's Emerging Tech team is the best around for insightful and accessible information about AI and this handbook has an amazing line up of expert authors. Check it out!

When I wrote Section 230 I did so knowing it would be critical for protecting free speech online. 30 years later and it’s one of the last things standing in the way of Republican censorship of the internet. Here’s to many more years of defending this vital safeguard of free speech.
felt the need. i feel vastly under qualified to write something like this, but i also feel its especially important that we think about the way we use language
2. Robust user privacy. Ideally through local compute and self-custody of data, but perhaps real data minimization and anti-targeting regulations would also work.
This might be the natural result of imposing stricter duties, so maybe these paths are not exclusive at all; both viable to pursue.
1. New, strict legal duties. Something like fiduciary duties between users and chatbots with transparency and audit paths so users can have real trust that the tools they are using serve their interests, not the interests of the model providers or an advertising partner, or...
We need strong policy responses to make sure AI services do not go the enshittification and socially maladaptive route that social media did. Only two paths come to mind for me:
This ad is a funny depiction and close to the example I usually use, but the possibilities for betrayal are even more insidious and subtle if advertising becomes a component of the AI business model.
The last time he started talking like this, his allies minimized the risks and we ended up with January 6. This time we must take him literally and seriously. These comments are a five-alarm fire for democracy. In a functioning republic, he would be impeached and removed from office today.

I don’t use a mouse; the movement of the cursor could be used for biometric identification
Right now, Democrats have the power to defund and abolish ICE. We should do it. This is about right and wrong—and the murder we are seeing on the streets is just plain wrong. Anyone who supports funding DHS and ICE is supporting the murder of Americans. We can stop this.
Mmm, smells like adverse inference to me.
The fundamental tenet of Robert Peel, who founded the first municipal police force in London, is that the police are the people and the people are the police. Once this connection is destroyed, you are simply an occupying force. This is why ICE should be withdrawn from Minneapolis, today.
two images of an arrest, one digitally altered by the White House to make it look like the arrestee is crying
This is the first example I’ve seen of an American government using AI to meaningfully misrepresent actual events with the intent to deceive the public. We are at Stalinesque levels of propaganda.

kinda wild that mass politics is alive but not to national elites
The "Alliance to Restore the Republic" is calling for the restoration of a corrupt and inherently imperialist government that has always silenced the marginalized. The "Rebel" exclusion and denunciation of true freedom fighters like Gerrera's Partisans speaks to their bourgeois sympathies... 1/1138
