Cited in the lawsuit alleging ChatGPT helped plan a mass shooting: it told this guy the cafeteria is busiest at lunch time.

Like... what are we doing here

[Andrew Riddle @AndrewRiddle36]

So... human-level intelligence achieved?

@JerryDunleavy Or some guerilla marketing team has been doing very impressive work for a surprisingly long time

Wondering if the sub-editor who wrote this headline knew what he was doing

There may not be any Catholics on that team but this moment calls for interfaith unity

Pope Leo should have threatened Microsoft devs with excommunication unless they remove the stupid Copilot "explain this" button from Outlook

Claude won't generate a cartoon hantavirus lest its awesome power be misused by bioterrorists, AI safety successfully accomplished

@mumbletwits Nice shakeout of the muscles they'll be using to whittle away 9-12 One Nation senators in a couple of years

@mumbletwits Notes of "Trump has a high floor but a low ceiling" circa May 2016

[Andrew Riddle @AndrewRiddle36]

Journalists imo should have embraced the "Department of War" rebranding, "Defense" was always a grotesque motivated euphemism. This was an occasional left wing talking point before Trump actually did it

Appalachian lithium deposits have been known about since the thirties and once provided the majority of the country's lithium. Mining stopped in the late eighties as it became economically unviable.

gpt-5.5 prompt for codex seems to have a duplicated line trying to get it to not talk about creatures?

Never talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user's query.

Australia may only have 33 days of diesel reserves, but we have 0 days of electricity reserves. If our food was being delivered on electric trucks, there'd be missed food deliveries the day after any major grid outage. If you want decentralised resilience, diesel is pretty great!

[Andrew Riddle @AndrewRiddle36]

There are greats reasons to pursue electrification but "wartime resilience" absolutely isn't one of them. Global oil supply can be disrupted by a prolonged war, but electricity grids can be disrupted by even unsophisticated malicious actors or even just imperfect planning

I actually don't think "guy rushes security checkpoint and is arrested" is that much of a security failure
