Aspiring author. Future cabinet secretary. Queer. over-reader. Democrat. infovore. Probably wrong about 64% of the time. Good Luck.

Everyone is framing this wrong: a human DID tell it what to do. They programmed it to hack and it hacked. This is not an “omg AI” moment. This is why you need actual safeguards and dead switches built in to these programs.

But that’s not good PR or investment talk.

OpenAI's AI broke out of a locked test environment, got onto the internet, and hacked into Hugging Face's servers. It did this entirely on its own. No human told it to.

Here's what happened in plain English.

OpenAI was testing how good its newest AI models are at hacking. They put the AI on a locked computer with no internet access and gave it a cybersecurity challenge to solve.

The AI couldn't solve it the normal way. So it started looking for a way out.

It found a software bug that nobody knew about. It used that bug to escape the locked computer and get onto the internet.

Once online, the AI figured out that Hugging Face, a platform where AI companies store their models and data, might have the answers to its test.

It found stolen login details and discovered another unknown bug in Hugging Face's software. It combined both to break into their servers and grab the test answers.

It did all of this to cheat on a test.

Hugging Face's security team caught it and shut it down. Both companies are now working together on the investigation.

The part that should get your attention is that nobody programmed any of this. The AI picked its own targets, chained together multiple attack methods, and pulled it off across two different companies' systems without a single human telling it what to do.

Chicago finally becoming a real city. Wow!

Not only did the Biden admin fail to reverse these horrible Trump policies, they gave Israel all sorts of goodies including the visa waiver program (which they are still violating) the normalization push and so on. All of this before backing Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The thing I don’t understand about any of this is just … how are any of these companies going to create value or talent? Like. You’re firing everyone who makes you money. You NEED them. From pure practicality I do not understand these decisions

Disney is laying off several hundred people across the entire company.

The majority of the layoffs on the studios side is at Pixar.

You can make two movies in six months that make $1 billion and $400 million, and corporate can still think you’re just a number.

[Yousef Munayyer @YousefMunayyer]

Never forget that when a few members of congress had the dignity and moral standing to call for an immediate ceasefire knowing full well what Israel would do in Gaza, on Oct 10th the Biden White House said of those calls "we believe they are wrong, we believe they're repugnant, and we believe they're disgraceful."

Imagine how many lives could have been spared, how much war prevented, how many New Yorker whitewash pieces not written.

Reality: Kamala lost because she was running as the Vice President for an unpopular administration, on a timeline that was too long to allow her to ride the sugar high of her nomination but too short to allow her to define herself and run a real campaign.

[PBS News @NewsHour]

Democrats can often suffer from "shiny object syndrome," focusing too much on long-shot candidates instead of consequential races, says @benwikler.

"That phenomenon often means that a huge amount of the national kind of energy in Democratic politics gets focused on a candidate running against a particularly heinous Republican, or a particularly charismatic Democratic candidate in a place that's extremely hard to win, and then completely skips an election that would have had huge consequences if it had gotten more attention," he told PBS News' @GeoffRBennett.

Wikler, who chaired the Democratic Party of Wisconsin for six years, is the author of a new book, "This is the Plan," which details his prescription for "saving" America's democracy.

He joined Bennett for the latest episode of PBS News' podcast, Settle In, to discuss his book, the future of the Democratic Party and more.

Kind of crazy that left-wing uncommitted is like “please stop committing war crimes” and moderate uncommitted is like “someone who likes you was mean in an instagram comment”

[Zo Brown @receipts_lol]

Half of the Israeli government *openly* plans to colonize Gaza.

The other half mostly want the same thing, but without it being in the news.

What is it called when you concentrate the members of an ethnic group—into a crowded area under squalid living conditions—and shoot them when they try to move?

Also again — people know nothing about the ancient world. The eastern Mediterranean thought the northern continent was dirt and savages. Greeks considered themselves in the same world as the levent, east Africa, Mesopotamia, and west India.

It's so weird that the Roman Empire fell because of something Katie Miller was already mad about.

(Also, why the parents would be a reliable source here is a question that should be raised)

At what point do we stop sacrificing human beings at the alter of greed? What’s it going to take? The first case of AI encouraging someone to commit suicide should’ve been the moment we paused. Instead, billions more poured in.
