@ChessLiam Liam the type of guy to have a heat stroke doing hill sprints in the Florida sun and come back next week do them in a sweatshirt #GetUnique#BeautifulMind
UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at https://t.co/VqNkPvolwf.
After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today's release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.
For all those celebrating Autism Awareness Day, I'd like to take a moment to reflect on how our perception of the mind has changed throughout the century. Millions of people during the 20th century were written off as non-people or simply too damaged to integrate into society.
One of the triumphs of the modern era has been to take the time to discover what makes the neurodivergent special and the wonderfully challenging neuroscience behind their thoughts. We've seen superhuman abilities like drawing New York's skyline from memory

There is magic in the differences between us and our humanity is found in discovering the bridges that unite us. Every human is entitled to dignity and our empathy to understand. Our greatness comes from loving people as they are, not how we want them to be.
This may be the first time ever that I strongly disagree with your assessment. I expect AGI to quickly lead to ASI and, if you or anyone else has a convincing plan for how not to lose control over it, I challenge you to post it here for public scrutiny. I’ve read and heard many such “plans”, all hand-wavy and based on hopium.
Another OpenAI safety researcher has quit:
"Honestly I am pretty terrified."
"When I think about where I'll raise a future family, or how much to save for retirement, I can't help but wonder: Will humanity even make it to that point?"
RFK Jr: “JFK spent 1,000 days in office RESISTING his military-industrial complex”
“He refused to send troops to Laos. He refused to get involved in a war in 1962 … in Germany.
He resisted in Cuba. He refused to send combat troops to Vietnam.
He was killed November 22, 1963, one month after signing an order ordering all military advisors out of Vietnam. President Johnson remanded that order, sent 265,000 combat troops in, and it became America’s war.
My father ran against that war in 1968, he also was killed in that enterprise. Then Nixon won the election and sent 560,000 troops to Vietnam.”
In 2010, when it was most unpopular to do so, Ron Paul delivered a powerful speech in support of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
"How can the US government charge an Australian citizen with treason for publishing US secret information that he did not steal?"
Amen.
Julian Assange struck a plea deal and will go free! I am overjoyed. He's a generational hero.
The bad news is that he had to plea guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense info. Which means the US security state succeeded in criminalizing journalism and extending their jurisdiction globally to non-citizens.
Julian had to take this. He has heart problems and he would have died in prison. But the security state has imposed a horrifying precedent and dealt a big blow to freedom of the press.
