Now HERE is a fact we should Talk about EVERY Day

[Political Punk @actingliketommy]

@tateprotest @TateTheTalisman rape is a crime of power and yes, he looks and sounds EXACTLY like a rapist. it's going to be a fucking pleasure watching him and his prick brother go to prison

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him.

People are getting worried.

I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice.

@KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

[San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria @MayorToddGloria]

San Diego is not collateral damage.

We are not expendable.

And we are never a "small price to pay."

Keep our city out of your reckless war talk.

[🇺🇲 California Independent 🇺🇲 @PismoBeach805]

I'm a gun owner.
I drive a pickup.
I come from a military family.
I'll fight you if you hit a woman or hurt a kid.

I'm voting blue up and down the ticket because Trump and his cronies in Congress are pure garbage.

God bless America. 🇺🇸

If all Muslims are to blame for 9/11, then ALL Christians are to blame for the Oklahoma City Bombing.

See how that works???

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.

I'm so tired of this Fauci shit. Did everybody forget this was a fuckin global pandemic? Other countries shut the fuck down too. You think Fauci was the Emperor of the World or something? Blaming one American health official for the entire global response is literally ridiculous.

[Jim Acosta @Acosta]

As I reported a couple of weeks ago, Trump, the DOJ and the WH were lying all along. Cases against alleged vandals were all lies. Lawsuits should be filed and the liars should be shamed.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The Trump administration admitted in court that it canceled billions of dollars in federal funding “based solely” on whether a state voted for Trump.

Using taxpayer dollars to reward political allies and punish opponents is not democracy.

It’s authoritarianism.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

ICE killed a father of three yesterday and no one is talking about it.

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent 35 years in Houston building homes and raising a family.

According to people interviewed, every night after work you'd find him on his porch, listening to music, petting his dog. He helped his three kids (U.S. Citizens) get through college.

It certainly seems that he was doing everything right, and then a federal agent shot him dead during a stop and his own son found out from a Facebook video, recognizing his father's voice as he lay bleeding in the street.

His son says that if his father had recognized any sign of law enforcement, he would have complied without question.

DHS says he "tried to run him over." This is the exact same lie they used to justify murdering Renee Good, a mother of three.

We are being asked to trust a rogue, lawless agency's word over a dead man's family, again, with no body cam release and no independent investigation.

Everyone should be outraged.

[Ron Wright @ronsterd89]

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

[Mike Nellis @MikeNellis]

WHO MADE THIS!? I’m dying.

[Gino The Ghost @GinoTheGhost]

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:

- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Stop. Staging. Fake. Assassination. Attempts.

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Trump is doing to the U.S. what he did to all his businesses: siphon out as much cash as he can and leave the debts to the investors, in this case, the U.S. taxpayer.

[State of the Scene @SOTSPodcast]

Hayley Williams showed her support for the Trans community during her show last night, on Trans Day of Visibility.

[Grant Stern  @grantstern]

Trump just completely admitted that Republicans and their pro-billionaire policies do a terrible job running America.

Then, he DELETED THIS CLIP from his account.

Make sure everyone sees it!
